What are you talking about? I've asked girls out. I've met thousands of them (THOUSANDS AND TALKED TO THEM ALL) and been rejected by hundreds.

I've tried a ton of shit to "improve" my odds/chances/life/whatever. I'm just fucked over.

I was talking to a girl tonight and she thought I was funny and stuff but that I was too fucking ugly.

I mean, it's like that all the fucking time. I can be really funny and great to be around but no one sees any kind of sexual interest in me because I am fucking hideous.

HAVE YOU SEEN MY FACE?




So go find a blind girl and charm her with your personality.

I really can't believe some of the things people here say to the OP. I don't care what people post or say, but I'd never tell them they are a waste of life or should off themselves.

That's just fucking horrible.

My suggestion, which has been posted before, which you won't do.

Lift weights, regularly and hard. Be consistent, get on a good plan, and eat a shit ton. It'll get you bigger, stronger, and more confident as well as more attention from ladies. Plus it gives you something to do, a release of stress, and many more benefits.

Start boxing, maybe the repeated blows to the face will improve your looks...

yea, since i started lifting when i was 19 in college, i've gained over 60lbs. most of it muscle but not all.

i used to be really scrawny and was pretty shy, but i was pretty much always good looking.

but bulking up and lifting definitely boosted my confidence.

and the problem is that chicks dig confidence probably more than a man's actual looks. and from the tone of TridenT on these forums, no matter what, even if he looked as good as Brad Pitt (or whoever he thinks is the best looking dude in the world), he would still not get girls because he has less than 0 confidence, and it shows with every post.

if that shows on the internet, imagine in real life heh.

I cannot see how these types of comments can be justified on ANY level.

Even if the OP is a bit annoying, and sometimes comes off somewhat as a troll, you have to assume that his post is motivated by depression and self-loathing.

Suggesting that he kill himself, or the world is better off without him, is utterly unacceptable, and frankly, people making that kind of suggestion should get a permanent ban from this forum.

Agreed. You can never tell what someone else's state is over the internet, and even when these comments may be intended to be harmless, they may have much more of an impact than anyone knows.

Because it's the internet, shit happens. If someone is so foolish to actually take these kind of sentiments seriously, then they can see themselves out and I'm willing to bet the world will keep on turning.

Some people have real problems. Some people just are problems. Guess which is in this thread.

If this was his first pathetic "woe is me" thread then I would agree. And like all the other threads, he'll be back soon to show what an arrogant piece of shit he is, dismissing everyone's advice and continuing on his same quest for sympathy. I used to be nice to TridenT, but now I have seen why others aren't. It's a waste of time.

Just FYI, TridenT, girls generally care about personality and confidence FAR more than looks. Maybe if you weren't an emo loser you would have more luck. Just saying, women can tell when a guy lacks confidence, or is otherwise just an all around loser. ANY guy can get a 10 if their personality makes up for their lack of good looks. ANY GUY.

Posting in a Trident thread... Seriously dude some people on here have given you some decent advice (not the ones telling you to off yourself), but you consistently refuse to listen to any of it. Of course at this point I don't really believe you want to improve your life. You'd rather have sympathy than success because it's easier to come by...

Mature adults recognize that people go through periods of depression and crap in life and that we have the ability to impact these people, positively or negatively, through what we do, even over the internet. Grow up and take that responsibility. The internet is rarely serious business but occasionally it is. ATOT has help prevent a suicidal member from killing himself before, so some of us have a good reason to take this stuff seriously.

Now STFU or GTFO.

When you hear the same shit from the same guy over and over and over and over again, it gets old. Really old. And then after a while it gets pretty pointless to reassure them that they are not in fact a waste of life because it does no good and they will simply post this very same thread once again.

I may be being cruel and heartless about this, but some people really are that useless.

Major shens on the idea that you've taken ANY advice to heart or that you've "tried" anything to change your situation. You either try for 2 seconds and give up or you're just a giant troll.

If you are indeed the person you play on the internet (highly unlikely) then hopefully one day you'll take some of the advice people have volunteered. If you're just a troll who does this for the lulz, my hat off to you. This character must be tough.. Either way go fuck yourself and stop wasting people's time and bandwith.

If someone needs saved, chances are they aren't worth saving.

There are genuine cases of depression and genuine situations to actually reach such a low point, sadly enough. But if you're on this forum, I'd wager you aren't there. The simple fact you have a computer, electricity, probably a roof over your head, probably live in a well-to-do civilized country, and presumably have your own safe food and water puts you leaps and bounds ahead of so much of the world.

It's not pitiable to be so self-absorbed to think your problems are really great enough to justify such an action, it's reprehensible. Life is vast and beautiful, how could you possibly miss that?

Suicide, in the vast majority of cases, is a selfish act of weakness.

I guess I don't need to tell you the advice you got so far is terrible. Here's some good advice: Keep posting about how your life sucks. They will never stop showering you with attention, even if it's negative attention. They are just oh so smart, they can't wait to opine.

Thank you TridenT for another nice thread of entertainment. At least you can rest assured that you are providing value to some people. :) It's part of the reason I keep coming back to this forum.

You have to appreciate the fact that so many people actually keep trying to help you out though, that is pretty amazing. Actually makes me feel good about people in general, and I can be pretty cynical sometimes.
