Or if you do it so much it makes your balls hurt.
Not that I've ever experienced that

Oh god, that's familiar, especially the anime.
Don't forget superhero movies, young adult fiction, TV shows/movies like teen wolf, hunger games, game of thrones, cards againat humanity, etc
Ugh.
I'm pretty sure Aussie youth tend to listen to Indie Rock or (c)rap though.
I don't think I've ever met another person in real life who listens to Trance music regularly as.even the other electronic fans aren't listening to trance. I met two people who KNOW what it is..
Australia really needs more fricken concerts.
I don't understand how I could possibly go to any, especially to meet people as people make friends.
Our electronic concerts are complete garbage like Will Sparks, Joel Fletcher, etc.
Give me some Darren Porter and Aurosonic and I'm sold!
It's SJW far left hell socially with cultural marxism in full.swing, yet ironically is also a very conservative due to the middle aged+ of our generations views. Two extremists of the same sh#t coin.
Coincidentally this aso reflects our government. Our shamefully awful, doesn't matter whoa in charge cuz we are doomed government.
Environment "protection" is bad. Are you aware of how the reef is now? So few people do. It is dying due to pollution legally permitted by Liberal Party so it's not even illegal pollution activity. The reef is dead. The species are unlikely to recover experts say. All in a single generation. I'm nearly in years I never for to see it and no one else can, at least how it use to be. I did ave the chance one day when my family went on a glass boat trip tp Fitzroy Isl. near cairns.
Centrism for the win (in my case, a left leaning one)!

Marknis would probably like it here.
I haven't seen people get teased here for being a computer geek or an anime geek. It's normal here.

NoFap is for men who can get casual sex frequently in the first place.
I see men on it say it made them more assertive and confident but it's more likely NoFap is undertaken by social, charismatic and extraverted men in the first place, it's just NoFap gives them that extra boost in motivation that makes them pursue one night stands and casual situations more aggressively.
That or, y'know, they're already in a long-term relationship or FWB...
I don't see it working for any other male.
Not even for Normie men.

I was in the same boat as you. Was alone until 29, had a girlfriend for 18 months and blew it. More did come along and they will for you too. I got married at 32 and have stayed that way for 17 years.
Funnily enough, he's extremely anti-SJW. He hates liberals with a passion and thinks there is no way you can be both liberal and pro-American. You're either an American loving conservative or an American hating liberal in his book. He used to try to make me be like him since he would always had girlfriends and got married but he's also had a divorce, two cancelled marriages, and a mountain of child support due to his alcoholism, bad temper, and inability to keep it in his pants so I am glad I did not listen to him.
Totally the reverse here in the Bible Belt. Anime is considered "weird Japanese cartoons" and metal is either "devhul's mewsick" or "screamin' and shoutin' noise". The few people who do like anime here tend to think it's all like Dragon Ball and the only metal they know is Metallica as well as the hair bands.
I find that surprising to hear since a lot of the bands I enjoy listening to list Australia nearly every year on their tour dates. Those bands also say Australian culture is like a compromise between Europe and the US.

It's called horseshoe theory. The idea is that the extreme left and the extreme right are very similar to each other. They converge like the end of a horseshoe.
We do have redneck types amongst the older Australians and in the country towns. The loud mouthed, beer swilling singlet wearing types. This is just the country town dwellers, not the farmers. I have great respect for farmers. The farmers I've met tend to be quite intelligent.

Get happy. Get healthy, Get fit.
Next become successful - how is your career? Are you "just" working in a job like everyone else?
Doesn't matter if you are in a higher pay tier. Once you have happiness & real success, a lady will see you stand out from the crowd like a diamond - then you just have to worry about being screwed over by divorce.
(Let me know if you get begin dating, I can give you some tips).

I really tried to get out of my rut this year. I paid for speed dating as well online dating despite how my previous attempts with the latter didn't work before, called a dating agency, went to meet up events, and went to bars. I have tried a lot of the things society tells me to do and I never find a girlfriend no matter what I do. I have suffered clinical depression since 2006 and I was hoping it wouldn't go past ten years but everything is pointing to the fact that it will continue.
Earlier this year, I wondered if I should've just given up. If this year was no different from the previous year, why should the next one be any different?
Well it seems like you're putting a time limit on it, and spending too much energy trying to make it happen 'right now'...maybe obsess on it less focus on things that are going well rather than obsessing to where not having a girlfriend is the only thing happening in your life. That isn't good for you because it's making you feel like crap about yourself...and also it could make you come off as too desperate or clingy..or wanting to jump into things too fast which can be detrimental to finding that relationship.
So don't give up, just maybe put it more on the back burner and focus on some other things for a while...also instead of paid dating sites, why not the free ones? I imagine a lot of people on the paid ones are more well to do or already have an established career and are looking for fellow professional career people and such.
He's nearly 30, and has been wanting a girlfriend since 18.
He's already put it on the back burner before, and so now over a decade later and hes still singe.
Sometimes he has tried as sometimea he hasnt
Its.about time he really tries.
A lot of the things I feared unfortunately came true. I sometimes want to go back to how I was before the depression kicked in but I would also go back to sitting around wondering what God's plan for me was.
Hey, wait a minute.
If there's any advice you could possibly give to an 18 year old with the same.e thoughts and problems.
I seem to always progress slowly with my hobbies. Im a musicians on and off for the last 3 years a and still very amateur.
2 years of "working out" and I only gained 33lbs (what should only take 6 months) of weight in mostly muscle a d some fat because I wasn't working my muscles hard enough. Worse st I've broken my wrist. I will workout properly when I begin again but dam it what a waste, hundreds of hours and dollars wasted and this injury just means losing time.
I already feel I'll never have another girlfriend again...

Two other things I've tried and failed at. I can't play certain songs straight through no matter how much I practice and my body never responds to any workout I do. The latter has been another factor in stacking the deck against me in finding a girlfriend.
