Are all women hylics? Here's how my past 3 relationships went.

>1st gf
Christian Korean girl. Nice girl, but wanted to travel constantly, and was unhappy when she didn't have new content for her IG.

>2nd gf
Christian Russian girl. Another nice girl, but constantly wanted to start new side hustles and was never happy with our level of income (she wanted the penthouse suite).

>3rd gf
Atheist Polish girl. The nicest girl, but she was practically a nymphomaniac without antidepressants, and wanted to start OnlyFans and Pornhub accounts with me.

I like to travel, have sex, and make money too, but I don't identify with any of these things. I prefer to read books and make music at home, and I want to write and have children. It seems like no girl exists who can tolerate this and like there's less and less girls who want kids. Is it hopeless for me?

Gnostic terminology refers to the ability to go beyond this world. A hylic is a person who is fully satisfied with living with the things of this world. Intellectual development, while pleasant and good, does not necessarily require you to go beyond this world.
If your intellectual and spiritual interests involve assimilating yourself to God in some manner, sure, it is understandable how there would be a huge gulf between you and other people. It's why monks generally do not take wives.

Every time I consider putting one foot forward I'm hit with the overwhelming sense that it's too late. I can't socialize and meet new people because they'll have expected me to reach certain milestones, and when they find out that I haven't, they'll think I'm a weirdo. I'm convinced most people think I'm gay because they've never known me to have a gf. I'm convinced that I missed my chances in life and there's no turning back now. At the same time, I don't much want to continue playing if this is all that's left of the game. What's the point living the rest of your life with the burden of regret?
>>

>they'll have expected me to reach certain milestones, and when they find out that I haven't
They won't. They don't even care about you in the first place. You're just being anxious. Most people are losers, just like you.

>I'm convinced most people think I'm gay because they've never known me to have a gf.
Nope. They don't care.

>to continue playing if this is all that's left of the game
I'm 38. I started my company when during Uni. I was 25 at the time. Felt like a total loser for starting it, because all my life I've been told to study and get a degree. Felt like I was doing it wrong not pursuing it, felt like I would end up broke. I didn't. I ended up better than my colleagues.

There comes a point when you're just tired of complaining, Anon, and in that exact moment is when you're gonna start doing shit. This whole excuses bs is exhausting, and you know it. Sometimes we get so tired of complaining we end up just doing it. How old are you? the average person will live to 80s rn, and it's increasing... how close are you to it?

It also can be a consequence of you spending too much time on internet, where fake gurus claim to have achieved wealth in their early 20s or some shit, and that if you didn't, it's over. Real life doesn't work like that. And all these losers who ended up rich in their 20s are either sons of rich fuckers or just random gurus selling books teaching people how to make it. Be realistic and don't punish yourself over mundane stupid shit. There's never a time to get rich. You just go outside and do it.

Nah dude, if you reach a certain age and haven't got a car, haven't got a place of your own, haven't got a lovelife etc. then people are going to start thinking you're weird. I've had coworkers joke about me being gay because they all talk about the women they're seeing whereas I have nothing at all to report. I think you're grossly underestimating just how innately judgemental human beings are.

Here's a quick way to start a conversation with a stranger who is sitting near you.

The other day I was sitting at a restaurant outside reading, wasn't too busy. A girl, who I found attractive, had sat near me even though other tables were empty. I was reading a book at my table and decided to go use the bathroom, so I turned around and said "Hey excuse me. I"m just gonna use the bathroom real fast, do you mind watching my book for me?" She agreed. When I got back, she asked me what I thought about the book and boom the conversation starts.

If she doesn't say anything, you can thank her for the favor and then start the conversation then by asking her about something.

This works great for coffee shops and other public areas where people chill at, if you ever need it.

This is mostly silly. Just start by asking her a normal question than having to go to the bathroom when you don't need to. It will have exactly the same effect.

I don't know about the anti-anxiety med and won't comment on it.
But yeah, a porn addiction and excessive masturbation will often cause ED
>How can I fix this issue?
You can take Cialis or Viagra temporarily to make your dick work in the short-term (you can order online from Indian pharmacies if you're embarrassed to go to a doctor). I think this can be helpful; real sex is probably the best thing to rewire you away from porn.
Long term fixing, you clearly know the answer, cease and desist porn use.

i worry no guy will like me like that again. im an autistic 4'9 18 yr old girl and im a little chubby. like 140 pounds chubby. but i have big boobs and boys like big boobs, right? so i have that going for me. i have a funny voice. like shitty anime girl voice that i get flamed for which some pedophile might find kawaii as fuck so hey awesome. u guys may say wtvr u want but its cool to get this off my chest, even on a site like damn 4chan.

I financed a bike to help build my credit. Had the money the whole time but want to raise jew score to get new home.

An insurance company cancelled my insurance without notifying me. The bank didn't notify me which is against the law here (but they claim they did, so apparently because they "say so," that's legal). But, neither did the DMV, OR the insurance company.

They issued a very steep fine and told me to get back-dated coverage. It was difficult, but I did. They refused to remove the fine. They then blocked a payment through my bank, blocked my access to their online portal so I couldn't make a payment there, and then expected me to send a money order or pay through the phone for an additional 10% fee.

In addition to this, they ignored my many attempts at contact through email, texts, and when I called, they had their credit resolution department harass me with claims of not submitting proof and changing their story multiple times (which I have recorded on camera).

I've been trying since October to pay the motorcycle off in full and get rid of this nightmare company.

They also later charged me again for "no insurance," but this time it was completely invalid and they just placed a charge to me arbitrarily. They then charged interest on all of this. After this, I stopped paying because this was a violation of my consumer rights.

I believe the insurance company originally dropped the ball. After all, they cancelled my insurance without my request after I payed well in advance. But the DMV was never notified either, and I was informed of this later on when I tried re-registering the bike for the next year. I was told the DMV was "eventually" notified by my bank, not by the insurance company, which is odd because both the insurance company is supposed to notify the DMV and the bank, and the bank is not supposed to have any contact with the DMV at all outside of transferring title (this is according to a DMV representative).

However, the Credit Union saw a moment where they can make an quick buck and blame me for "failing to maintain insurance." They never expected I was going to get back-dated coverage, but because the insurance cancelled as a mistake, they covered me and I got it.

I've spoken to a few people who used this bank and they have had similar issues where a small discrepancy, or some fault entirely not their own caused a huge fine that they had to fight over. I believe the Credit Union just does this crap and it was just a mistake on the insurance company that threw me into this situation.
>>
>>31178141
I am not changing the subject. This is something you can google. Please stay on topic. Would a judge look at my evidence and see that I have been trying to work on this and the credit union was clearly playing games, or should I just take it in the ass and pay the jews and never deal with this company again?
>>
>>31178175
How does an insurance company drop your policy if you've already paid it in full? The DMV would send you a letter in the mail fining you for a lapse in insurance as well.

>>31178181
It's very much on topic: the credit union provided you with a method for payment and you failed to do so. The onus is on you here.
>>
>>31178199
>How does an insurance company drop your policy if you've already paid it in full? The DMV would send you a letter in the mail fining you for a lapse in insurance as well.
Exactly. That is why I think they messed up, because the DMV wasn't notified till way later. The insurance company made some mistake and I had nothing to do with it.

Money orders are not expectable. Easily stolen, and with sketchy behavior from a credit union, I'm not going to see my cash disappear and have to resend another payment. 2 previous methods of perfectly acceptable payments were attempted and deliberately blocked. This is not acceptable. And then to fine someone for "no payment" after blocking one payment and returning another, this is a violation on consumer rights.
>>
>>31178199
Also worth noting that I made the payment and they blocked and refused my money before they had requested the money order. This behavior is very unusual and not acceptable.

What's the appeal of women? Can't you just get rid of any sexual urges with your right hand? If you can refuel your car for free, why would you instead choose the gas that requires far more time, money, and energy that's only maybe slightly better? This is a serious post I'm autistic. It honestly baffles me, like they drive men insane when they act like whiny toddlers. What's the appeal?

That's very foolish, it has been known for decades that MDMA is one of the best treatments for PTSD that we have, yet none of us are allowed to take it. There's plenty of drugs out there that they are aware could be beneficial to the public, that we're not allowed. Look at legal medical cannabis in the UK, it has been proven to stop seizures in those with more severe forms of epilipsy, yet almost nobody is allowed a prescription. It is very naïve to think that if a drug works we the public would be given automatic access to it.
