Enjoy being single.

I've been down a similar path. Divorced out of a massively abusive relationship. Burned my old account because the forums were okay with personal attacks on abuse victims so long as they were men. The hypocrisy was neck-deep at the time, and I was not in shape to deal with it.

Work out, get healthy, enjoy your hobbies. The rest will take care of itself. Trying to do it the other way around is a bad path.

Protip: Absolutely nothing anybody tells you about the dating scene has anything to do with reality, especially if they've been out of it for a few years. It's all anecdotes and personal beliefs. The current dating scene is miserable no matter where you go. If you self-improve, trust me everything will work itself out. I was to the point that my dates were complaining that I wasn't trying to have sex with them like men are "supposed" to do. Happily married for a year now. Wake up every day totally content with my life and everything that's led to this point.

Just constant complaints from dates that I wasn't trying to have sex with them like I was supposed to.




Just...new and completely unexpected from the norm sex, not the kind they were expecting from their normal dates or with any concern with how I was "supposed" to be doing it.

Boom. A real game changer and really freed up my mind to whole new worlds of what SHOULD be expected from sex and what I COULD be expecting from it and now? Wow. Let me tell you brothers and sisters. It's something. And it's very real.

it is the moment of sexual apotheosis when you realize what you want from a sexual encounter rather than what (select influence here) tells you to want

the answer is different for every person, as is the influences involved, but many, many dudes tend to realize that the sexual conquest sort of poo poo that men are 'supposed' to want from the meme that they 'only want one thing' is incredibly loving boring and time consuming. for every purpose aside from bragging to your bros, your hand or a fleshlight will do as good a job (if not better) than your stereotypical barfly.

with that revelation in mind you can say stuff like "yeah hookups are great but have you tried passionate sex with someone you have a mental and emotional connection with? :discourse:"

OP you should talk to a therapist or psych or w/e and maybe find a support group for recent divorce, consider meds, it will put you in a better, healthier place to get back out there.

Coming from a similar situation minus Twitter ban, I understand what it's like. It's wild, new, and totally blows, but you're gonna get through it.

The big thing for me that completely changed my life was getting Ketamine therapy. I went from struggling with untreated PTSD, not sleeping for long stretches cause of nightmares, and getting hosed up every day to having a functional life and career.

Whatever you do, it starts with getting help. Companionship is always wonderful, but be wary of codependent tendencies, and ultimately starting all of it again with another person. Be safe, and be good.

I've only known one person IRL who did K treatments but it worked fantastically for them. I'm hoping it proves to be broadly applicable and reliable.
