I'm 29 years old, Male, introverted. Skinny and average looking I suppose. I haven't dated since the 11th grade which was 2011. I had my heart broken so badly I didn't wanna experience that ever again. I'm what you could call nerdy/geeky in that my hobbies are collecting retro video games, watching 80s-early 2000s anime, and the like. I feel my hobbies are a turn off to everyone because most people like sports, cars, hunting, and the like. I'm not into things like that. I find myself wishing some of the women in the shows I watch were real. Or maybe attributes of them I suppose. Maybe my standards are too "high" or that I'm wishing for a person like that who will never exist so I convince myself that there isn't a point to try be in a relationship again. Overall, I've grown very lonely and feel like I'm a loser who will probably die alone. Should I just give up? At times I feel like life and everything that comes with it is pointless, that it's not even worth it.
You dated when you're 17 yrs old. You're definitely a winner. I'm almost 19 and still never have had any girlfriend. I mean, how dare you call yourself a loser, as a loser, I took it personally
Whether it was situatiomal or not doesn't matter. The fact that you dated when you were still a teenager makes you a winner. So don't be so serious about that.
You'll never see above the clouds if you don't put in the effort to climb the mountain. Be brave and risk getting hurt, it's normal to be scared, but there's no way to get the best out of life without making yourself vulnerable.
Bro. Get out of the house. You want to tell me you’re the only one that likes retro games and watching anime? Stop looking at social media about ppl liking cars, sports or whatever. Look for people who like retro games and anime. Discord, lemmy, mastodon, idk. There is A LOT of people like that. Most likely there is a gaming/anime club in your town, reach out. You’ll be a loser IF you give up.
