By not being autistic.

They say you get your wizard powers at 30 but I'm 22 and the hormones went away and now I'm happier and more productive I've ever been in my life. I work a full time job, take online classes full time, work on a game, masturbate to high quality porn, and play games with friends on Saturdays. Just wait a couple years op. Literally disregard woman aquire wealth.

wow another human being might know about your existence, quit being a pussy and get yourself out there

I'm 20 and feeling a mix of this.
Things are going well for me in general in life, but then a female sort-of friend crashes our game night drunk, is a huge tease towards me, and suddenly I'm 12 again.
There's a part of me that wants to get laid just so I can stop overthinking it and get on with my life.

it won't matter op, don't limit your array of activities because you think something might go wrong and it wont go wrong during your lifetime anyways
Asher Cook
you could try not being a pedophile so you wouldn't have to worry about that sort of thing :^)
Adrian Morgan
i think you're lying theres no way somebody would be so productive and be on Sup Forums at the same time

I met my girlfriend on Omegle text chat. Had to deal with dozens of dullards and crazies before I found her, but that seems like the odds in real life, too. Hint: use the Sup Forums tag on there to find wife material, use the Tumblr tag to find easy feminist sluts that will send you nudes.

>how does Sup Forums cope? Doesn't take much to cope. I used to be all angsty and depressed about relationships, but then eventually I realized I don't really need them to live a happy life.
Every relationship has highs and lows, and I personally just don't think the highs are worth the lows. Being in a relationship (or dependent on them) is essentially the same thing as being addicted to drugs - it's not a situation I want to be in.
When you're addicted, you throw out common sense and distort your concept of value in an effort to chase the next high, and relationships are no different. Just like resisting an addiction, resisting a relationship can be hard as hell at times - but the deprivation is not insurmountable.
Finally, similar to substance addiction - relationship addiction is simply a symptom of not living a life you're content with. The human mind and body seeks out substances to compensate for happiness it's missing, and longing for a partner is no different. With good friends, good hobbies and a good life you will achieve more satisfaction than you ever would when wasting your life trying to chase after relationships.

>There's a part of me that wants to get laid just so I can stop overthinking it and get on with my life. here, I absolutely understand what you're feeling.
Personally, I approached/resolved that line of thought something like this:
1. There's a distinction between the emotional and physical component of sex. The latter is simpler to analyze:
2. To experience the physical component of sex, you need a willing human body. For this, you either need to pay it or convince it that having sex with you is worth its time.
3. If I'm paying for sex, I'd feel slightly uncomfortable doing it with somebody who does that sort of thing for a living, and most things would probably be off-limits or feel forced either way. So I don't really think the benefit is worth the cost.
4. If I'm trying to get sex for free, then I'd need to find somebody willing to have sex without the ballast of a relationship (hard to find -> need to spend a lot of time looking, or need to lower your standards to compensate), or a lengthy time of “bonding” during which I need to pretend to care about their personality (hard to execute). Gain not really worth the cost in either case.
That pretty much rules out the physical component of sex as being worth merit itself. So as a consequence, the only reason it would ever be a good idea to try and have sex is with a partner you have an actual emotional attachment to - with or without physical contact.
And for that, you basically need a relationship. So you're back at square one, see tl;dr None of the options are really worth the cost

The NSA already knows whatever they want to know about you. Your online dating information is most likely completely irrelevant to them. Just do it.

Hit on pretty boys with shavd legs on Sup Forums instead

You are reducing relationships to "copulation" and "my input vs expected gains." This is not how people think about relationships. Yes, we are on Sup Forums, but we are not all robotic autists without emotions or feelings. People want:
-friendship -companionship -compassion -love
Relationships are not "insert coin, receive sex."

>expecting loyalty, love, and compassion from a woman LOL

>You are reducing relationships to "copulation" and "my input vs expected gains." I wouldn't call my post reducing relationships to copulation, I would call it distinguishing between the physical and emotional aspects of a relationship and then treating them separately. (Which I pointed out)
I was trying to debunk the physical aspects if taken in isolation since that's what seemed to imply being adequate. Maybe I didn't make that clear enough.
That said, everything in life is a question of input vs output - it's just that sometimes we don't think about it. For example, you don't think about wanting to breathe - it's not a rational decision as in “Oh, I should breathe to prevent dying” but a subconscious decision as in our body implicitly deciding what it prioritizes.
So I guess in a way, to combat addiction you have to master the technique of making your mind conquer your body, rather than the opposite (i.e. your compulsive urges overriding your capacity for rational thought).
