I sometimes go to a park to clear my head and get some fresh air. Unfortunately, this time didn't go well and I wish I didn't go at all now. There were quite a few people my age at the park and most of them were couples. One that especially stood out to me was a guy and his girlfriend who was a cute glasses wearing Asian girl who was also wearing a Legend of Zelda t-shirt and a Hello Kitty backpack. The guy had a geeky/nerdy girlfriend, a kind of person I want to be in a special relationship with but I don't have that in my life. Why can't I have a special partner? I hate myself even more now. :cry:

Like I wrote in the other thread, you actually did a smart thing by calling your family when your car screwed up.

The alternator is not bad. I fixed my alternator once. It cost $240. The car ran for about three more years after I put in the new alternator (Of course, the guy in the shop did it, not me).

My uncle replaced my alternator for me. But what I saw at the park has just made me feel bad all over again. :(

This is the world I live in. My story never goes the way I want it to go, my dreams are denied, and I am forced to see others live their lives. :cry:

So tell me Markins why do you think you will never get a girlfriend? Why do you think it is hopeless?

I didn't date in highschool and never learned certain social skills in my developmental years so I feel like I missed out for good. I feel like my past has already marked my future. My brain refuses to undergo neuroplasicity; I actually think my brain has stopped developing completely.

It also feels like women hate shy and quiet men. They just want loud and aggressive jerks. I don't have much muscle tone and my hair is thinning out so I look weak and pre-aged. I am also almost 30 and it feels like my time is running out. Whenever I've tried things people do to get dates, they always end in failure. :(

Why not take it as more of, perhaps there aren't only conservative christians and republicans within the vicinity of where you live. Sure that girl appeared to be taken....but maybe she is not the only geek girl in the entire vicinity. I mean you've had the same job for quite a while, sounds like you have a vehicle, you have some interests and even an idea of the sort of woman you like, so you have some things going for you. The worst part of your physical situation seems to be still living at home, and not having full control over your money but a lot of people in that situation don't have a job or a vehicle. The longest I can usually keep a job is a couple months.

I think your biggest problem now is self loathing. You have to start seeing value in yourself or you'll never feel like you're good enough...which will just feed the perpetual cycle. So it may be a good idea to work towards that...and you've gotta stop attaching that value to whether you have a girlfriend or not. You don't have a girl-friend now, that has nothing to do with your value as a person and doesn't mean you can never find anyone.

I know even some topics on this forum and such perpetuate the idea that if you're male and not in a relationship you're a complete utter failure/waste of time...but that's a bunch of B.S.

Indeed not having a girlfriend doesn't mean you are a failure.

Write down things you like about yourself!

Often times when I have bad days I write down things that I'm thankful for. Then I realize that my life isn't all that bad.

I don't really dress in the "geeky/nerdy" style. I prefer more cutesy/feminine outfits. I still love my video games and manga collection though. :D

I will admit my area isn't entirely devoid of geekiness. There used to be a comic book shop until 2013, the shopping mall has a store with not only video games and DVDs but toys and comic books as well and it's always had an arcade of sorts, there are two cinemas in the area, and there's a bowling alley as well. It's just that the redneck/ghetto sports bars, football fields, and churches.

I do have a vehicle and I would be happy with either a geeky or gothic or some sort of alternative girlfriend. She can be of average build or chubby (I am overweight myself); just as long as she's decently attractive, I will be happy.

My therapist thought my mental programming comes from how my parents have had multiple marriages and my older brother had a lot of girlfriends.

Not being able to get one when you want one despite your best efforts does make you a failure in that area though.

Translation: Mark should give up because he's a loser.

It simply means you haven't succeeded YET.

Not even close to what I said or meant. At the moment I'm a failure in this area too. I however can see that there are things I need to work on before it's reasonable to expect the results I want, so I won't let myself dwell on it as much until such a time that I think it's perfectly reasonable for a girl I'm interested in to reciprocate my attraction. If I get my sh*t together and still fail romantically, then I'll allow myself to feel more ripped off.

But considering how I am almost 30, I don't feel like "yet" will ever happen.

On March 19th, the population in Asia would be +/- 2 billion (China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan etc)

50% of those are women = 1 billion, your estimated age range (20-35) is about 8% = 80 MILLION Asian girls.

Suppose that you are compatible with 20% of them (interests, hobbies, socially) = 16 MILLION Asian girls.

Many of them are looking for a new life abroad. Suppose 10% may want to, and can afford to migrate to your country = 1.6 MILLION Asian girls, that are just waiting for you to contact them

Feel better?
