I'd assume the guy's a dumbass and actually means above average in comparison to today's.

Also "appearance" is crazy to lump in with that. Why would scientists need prostitutes? Word on the street is scientists gently caress during all those symposiums they go to.

I work on a research vessel. People hook up all the damned time. Not me though, I'm happily attached to a woman who, like me, is brilliant and successful and hot.

Also, most of them aren't awkward weirdos. It's weird I know, but a lot of people can be intelligent and attractive/athletic and have some charisma and not be creepy shut-ins.

If you were high intelligence you would understand the Punnet's square that you are just as likely to make ugly stupid children as smart intelligent ones. Your plan to get laid by hot, dumb girls just isn't going to work, nerd.

I'm really trying to figure out how to work out that appearance trait score, do we reevaluate every week forever? Are you allowed to wear make-up to the evaluation? Do we have to keep the same haircut for the rest of our lives? Do we just go by facial symmetry? I think appearance is based way too much in opinion for there to be an official score. Am I thinking about this to hard, and taking this too seriously? Also, I'm worried my score would be embarrassingly low.

Hey, you guys remember spidergoon? Blast from the past here, we got spidergoon

quote:

I confessed in this thread, or the last one, that I have a thing for Ovipositor pornography-- where a monster captures a woman and lays eggs in her womb. It's very weird and niche but there are quite a few people into it and I have been trying to be more active in the community. My fesh is that I decided to start a Patreon for my writing and I have a few Patrons and make a little money each month. It's not much but it's very heartening that people pay me for my hard work.

Goons, accept your weird fetishes as long as they don't involve hurting people or animals. You only go around once and life is too short to not enjoy yourself. Chances are other people are into whatever you're into.

I'm still sort of in love with the protagonist of the extremely long story I wrote and I play to introduce her as an NPC in the Dungeons and Dragons game I run. My wife will know but nobody else will and I won't make the game sexual. It'll just be another way of bringing her to life.

KC Green Whizzard comic

e: for those who weren't around for previous installations of The Amazing Spider-Goon, this guy has a really weird niche fetish and his wife is a total keeper who indulges him in it instead of judging him or politely asking him to keep it to himself like 95% of people would, it's very sweet :3:

quote:

Yesterday I decided it was time to have sex for the first time in several years. I am a 31 year old obese alcoholic living somewhere that prostitution is legal. I went to a local brothel and was led into a room and the girls available came in and introduced themselves. About half of them I could hear stifling laughter as they left the room. A couple of them were just stone-faced and left as soon as possible, and one complained that my hands were too cold and clammy. I ended up going with the only girl who didn't seem disgusted by me in some way, although what I really wanted to do was get up and leave.

It wasn't great. Very mechanical, no eye contact, no talking. It was over in about 5 minutes and I was dripping in sweat which clearly disgusted her. She spent a solid couple minutes washing her hands and left without saying a word.

This experience has made me want to just say gently caress it and not try to have sex ever again. I have never been able to have sex aside from hookers, and only once or twice I actually enjoyed it and didn't feel disgusted with myself after, so why keep trying something that clearly isn't going to work?

My secondary confession is that I tell people like family about my hooker encounters as if they were dates, and even brought one I was a regular of to a family dinner posing as my girlfriend. It was just as pathetic and awkward as it sounds.

How often do you have hooker encounters? The last paragraph of this one seems kind of at odds with the rest of it :confused:

At any rate, one COULD see this as a call-to-action to devote some modicum of effort to self-improvement, or one could see this as proof that you should just stop trying forever. Your choice, anon.

I had someone tell me on Thursday that I have characteristics which fall under autism. I don't really know too much about it since a lot of people self-diagnose. I've read a few things about and I can relate to them somewhat. It would explain why I have certain behaviors and how I am as a person.

I receive mental health services (state insurance) but I don't see my therapist until Tuesday so I don't have a professional to talk to about it until then.

I've had a fear that there was something seriously wrong with me and everyone knows it and people are just nice to me or just tolerate me up to a certain point. Being told that by someone I have autistic tendencies reinforces that fear.

I guess I will try to do my best to keep myself as mentally stable as possible until I see my therapist (doing drugs today probably goes against that 😒).

👽🐊

I mean, don't go jumping to conclusions based on what "someone" tells you; an unqualified diagnosis is actually exactly as viable as a self-diagnosis. But I don't blame you for being apprehensive. I don't know how I'd handle something like this either. See what your therapist says tomorrow. But keep in mind that no matter what, you're still you and nothing will actually change from a diagnosis itself.

Last night I shot a mouse through the head with my air pistol. It was stuck in one of those sticky traps that our building management puts down. I hate those traps because most people when an animal gets caught in one they just dump it in the trash and let it starve/dehydrate to death which is terribly cruel. If a mouse is screaming then it is terrified and in pain beyond the usual fear these things have of predators and they shouldn't have to feel like that.

Usually I exterminate apartment mice by putting out peanut butter on the floor and then shooting them, they die instantly and don't suffer and it doesn't bother me. Last night though I felt sort of disgusted at being forced to mercy kill an animal that someone else had decided to torture. I loving hate my low income job that I have to live in places like this with crappy building management that does hack renovation jobs that leave mouseholes under the sinks and everything, slobs for neighbors who leave food out and cheapass pest control companies that use sticky traps. BTW if you get a pipe and carve/melt down some round ice cubes to fit you can make a blowgun to break peoples windows without leaving evidence.

I don't think this violates the "confession about a specific poster" rule since the poster in question is banned

quote:

Last night I had this dream I got in a relationship with Psyopmonkey? We ended up fighting because we couldn't decide what lighting fixtures to have (we decided to rent a house together). We might have been housemates who ended up getting together? My current irl neighbors moved in next door and caused an extremely huge amount of problems by snooping and trying to get in the house. This was made worse because I was trying to grow weed in the abandoned lot nearby.

We ended up working things out I think but I can't really remember all that much. I think I was trying to create some kind of weed beer or make dabs from scratch? or something. I wanted to make the lights from scratch too. I think there was some kind of physical fight with the neighbors as well.

Super weird because she's been banned for like a year, I never really talked to her and only remember her because she posted a lot, and I don't even smoke weed except if someone I know happens to offer it to me and definitely never tried to grow any. Never dreamed about the forums before except in the context of "I was browsing the forums and then dream stuff happened."

I once had a dream about Andrew Dobson back when there was an Andrew Dobson mock thread I read a lot

In this dream I was robbing Andrew Dobson's house

Thread regulars may remember a goon who opened up to his therapist about being anxious about being a virgin and ended up dating her. He's got an update for us.

quote:

Therapy goon here. It's been a while.

I have a big problem.

I made the mistake to move in with her and she's in all aspects of my life. I have basically no private room any more. She is super jealous. I'm not allowed to talk or even look at any woman. I mean I can risk it but it's not a good idea if I want my peace. I am ashamed to admit but at first I even enjoyed her over-bearing stuff and even her jealousy and I didn't put a stop to it. I should have. I feel it's my fault things are like this now. I had never someone care that much about me and it was just so nice to have a woman constantly in my life and my business, interested about everything I say and do. I am sorry if that sound super weird, but yeah.

Now it's turning into a nightmare. A few weeks ago I came home from buying groceries and found her trying to get into my computer. Because I'm a hypernerd it's some needlessly complicated Linux setup and she couldn't figure out how to log in. She didn't even stop or apologise when she noticed I was there. You know what she did? She asked why I didn't trust her. Why I hide things from her. I should have reacted angrily but I was so flabbergasted that it somehow turned into this long talk in how I have trust issues and apparently some huge and unfounded need for secrecy. She then got all her mobile devices and gave me all her passwords to her accounts and basically put it like she will wait for me that I do the same and I'm not forced but should feel bad if I don't. She "corrects" my behaviour like that a lot. I didn't even want that stuff. I didn't give her any passwords. I get dirty looks when I use my computer. I don't care, that's the only private room I have here.

She has isolated me from my only friend, she basically kept nagging at me about spending time and talking to him until I gave up. I didn't even notice how it happened, I just suddenly noticed I don't spend anymore time with him. She befriended my parents, especially my mother. They love her. My mother thinks she's an angel who basically saved me. That she looks like one helps. I noticed she's very aware how she looks like and uses that innocent, cute image to her advantage. Even with me.

I basically can't go to my parents house without her tagging along. I basically can't go anywhere without her tagging along. She also drives me everywhere and basically means "it's unreasonable" when I want to walk. It's the excuse she uses to tag along.

She can switch to angry at the drop of a hat when something doesn't go her way or ruins "the perfect moment" she had in her head. She can just as fast switch back when the problem is resolved which is usually me doing something wrong or dumb. It creeps me out. She's still showering me with gifts and stuff and at this point I'd wish she'd just stop. We gently caress like rabbits though. I feel guilty about it how things are going but it is just so. Good. She uses this to manipulate me, too. I'm afraid I let her.

Now the big zinger: I knew a girl a few years ago. We were basically best friends for many years. Yeah it's the usual - I ended up wanting more and she didn't. She had a boyfriend. For a while she almost left him for me but then got cold feet. I got tired of her back-and-forth and for a while she also claimed she was single and I found out she was actually still together with her boyfriend all along and our friendship fell apart over this because trust was ruined. I really felt a deep connection with her and it made me very sad back then because I lost my best friend. I tried talking to her a few years ago via Facebook but she wouldn't reply.

Out of the blue she contacted me a week ago via mail and asked me how I am doing and wrote me a long mail about her life in the past years. I was ecstatic to talk to my lost friend and maybe reconnect. I have to admit, I loved her a lot and she was always "the one" and after that mail I'm not sure how I feel about her now. I made the mistake of telling her. (leaving out the love part mostly of course) She first listened to the entire thing calmly but then ended up getting furious to the point of insanity. She yelled at me. She asked if I'm going to leave her. She cried. She smashed a mug (and chipped the glass table in the living room) and ended up cutting herself on accident. Then she cried some more, smeared with blood. She was looking absolutely insane and I had to promise her that I won't talk to my friend and then I basically had to apply first aid and spend the rest of the evening hugging her until she would act normal again. Then it happened: She looked at me with this big blue eyes full of desperation and said she doesn't know what she's going to do if she loses me. I felt a chill running down my spine.

I might sound insane myself but I do love her. She is not a bad person although she is troubled. This changed everything though. I am scared of her and what she might do. I feel incredibly guilty about having my part in all this by not setting better limits. She has a lot of issues I didn't even detail. I would write more but I can't even. You know why? I'm writing and sending this in secret in the middle of the night. She's sleeping and I'm afraid she might wake up and see this. I can't even imagine what would happen then.

I want to talk to my old friend and I am going to confront her this week. I am not sure how but I will. I need to. I don't want to tell my therapist what is going on. Why is everything such a nightmare?!

I mean, dude, this is the same old story, I've heard it a hundred times and lived it once

Plenty of nerds' first relationships are awful and abusive, and last way too long, because if you grow up thinking you don't deserve love and are hideous/annoying/etc, any relationship sounds good, and ending it to go back to being single and lonely sounds horrifying. Oftentimes you don't even notice warning signs, or ignore them, because you're so flabbergasted someone is willing to touch your genitals that nothing else seems important.

But this is a bad relationship and I don't care how bad your outside prospects are, you need to get out. You will find something else soon, with this experience under your belt, and that time, you will be able to identify warnings, and you'll know that it's not the end of the world if you act on them.

if you are describing your current relationship with the question "why is everything such a nightmare" you need to end it immediately
