Need some life advice
Bavarian
I would like to tap into the collective wisdom of TUSCL and ask for opinions on how I have lived my life so far.
About me:
Mid 30s male
Never dated so no girlfriend, so no sex, so no offspring.
I know I'm not gay.
No mortgage. I live in my mother's basement like SJG (haha, just kidding with you SJG)
No debt: car, student loans, credit cards all paid for.
Have savings and put money away in 401k
Social drinker. Don't smoke or do drugs
My only vice is the strip club. I visit my favorite stripper about three times a month. I ran some numbers and I am spending 20% of my post-tax income on her. Damn.
I have thought about spending some of that money on a shrink. Sometimes I feel like something is missing in my life.
What do you guys think? Would I better off focusing my efforts on getting a date with a civvie or continue throwing money at my favorite stripper?
Thanks TUSCLers

You are way ahead.
You don't have to go through a divorce.
Trust me. 20% on girls is a deal.
Let's do a literal gut check. How's the gut? Hairline? Clothes?
If you're fat or too skinny, join a gym. Endorphins and chicks dig it.
Balding? Time to shave that head. Full head of hair? Great.
If you just want to taste your first civvy pussy, consider single moms. You're not gonna pull a 10. But a 6? Sure.
You may ultimately prefer strippers. But you should at least try civilians
2nd Anyone who has achieved anything great was almost always bad at doing it first. I think you start with less than desirable civvies and work your way up the chain. Almost like an entry level job. Then shoot to be CEO. You might never make CEO, but dammit if your still flipping burgers in three years. That's what I would do if I were you.
Also you aren't they type to quit strippers until you get the girl you want. But, join a gym and jog, do some light weight. When your body is good enough (not great) start going to yoga. Eventually as you get better at yoga, females will start flocking. Same is true for Salsa dancing. And Salsa girls are usually hot and horny.
What you are probably missing is intimacy, which isn't really par for the course with strippers or escorts. That's where civvies come in. If you are like many of us here, even having a fulfilling real life relationship doesn't keep us out of the clubs. Unfortunately not many civvies are cool with their BF/GF frequenting stripclubs or seeing escorts, and that's where the trouble begins.
My advice would be to gently test the dating waters, but as long as you're not breaking the bank (and it seems that you're not), then continue your club visits. Don't ask, don't tell. No shrink needed.
Now if you were more like juice, you could approach some young guy called zluke Skywalker and tell him that you are his father. Then watch the shocking results.
My advice is to go to strip clubs more often, visit several strippers, and spend at least 50% of post-tax income on them. This works for me.
If it doesn't do anything for you then you can forget it and go back to strip clubs. I sort of suspect you'll enjoy it though, most people do.
If you don't have a fulfilling civvie relationship; then strippers are a decent substitute (“man can't live by bread alone”) - men have needs that need to be satisfied and unless satisfied one can go mad or at the very least be extremely frustrated and unfulfilled.
A good relationship is great – but those seem hard to come by and more of the exception than the norm.
IMO chubby chicks are often easier to deal with and less demanding (in case you want to get your feet wet in being involved w/ civvies).
But in the end; one should be in a relationship b/c they want to and they want to be w/ that person; not b/c they “should” be in a relationship – you have to live your own life and not according to others thoughts or wishes – good luck.
I have a very good friend who is a 26 year old stripper. She has a regular customer who has been seeing her at the club for almost 4 years. He is extremely wealthy and extremely religious and at age 39 confessed to being a virgin. She suggested that they meet at her apartment where she seduced him. When she took his dick out her touch caused him to cum and he unloaded all over her. She has continued to engage him and he continues to prematurely ejaculate but she's getting him to learn to control it and she feels it's more like sex therapy than love making. He's been very generous with her ( and her family) but he continues to think its "dirty" and reads passages from his Bible when things get heated up. I met him at her apartment one night and she and I started talking about the relative merits of swallowing vs spitting and he got very squeamish and pulled it out ( his Bible) and started reading quotes out loud. His issues probably need a shrink. You have to make this determination yourself based on the reasons for not having had "normal" relationships in the past. I have a male friend who got married at 41 and divorced at 42. He's always lived alone, is a very bright person, but prefers solitude. There is no right or wrong unless you want your life to be different. Good luck.
Why no dating? Seems like strip clubs should give you at least some confidence with women. I plan to fuck lots of civvies when the divorce is over. But I wouldn't give up my Striiper for anything.
Don't worry about what you spend on the stripper. I'm afraid to calculate the percentage of my income that I spend on her. But doesn't matter it's worth it. One night with her is the equivalent of a years worth of sex with the wife. Consider that before getting married.
The first thing to do is decide if your job is where you want to stay. Since you have no debt and nothing tying you down would you want to settle down and live there for a long time? If not then can you easily xfer to a different city either with your company or with a diff company? You're basically at the stage where everyone says you should have a family and be settling down with a house and kids. If you want to stay where you are you in a position to get a house and pay it off fairly soon? If you're single, successful, in shape and have a decent house you should have single women beating down your door the moment you start going out even if you don't have game. If you have no natural game then it will come in time just by being out mingling. Sounds like you're level headed and focused so your game should be the same. Stay focused, cool and calm and people will notice.
And like James said, don't marry the first woman who sucks your dick. You need to ride that bike a lot so you know what you're doing so when you DO find Mrs Right she clearly sees you def know what you're doing.
Go out, have fun, have sex, drink a little, laugh a little but always in moderation and ALWAYS wear a condom.
I tried for so long to get him to live a normal life and he just can't, nor does he want to. For him, he's wired different, maybe you are as well. Since you're asking about changing on here, I would assume you want to change your life.
I would recommend baby steps - maybe move out of your mom's house - just rent an apartment for starters, see how it goes. Most girls aren't going to take you seriously if you're living at your moms, and you can only hide that for so long. Next, start making some friends and go out and do activities with them other than going to the strip club. Maybe there's some guys at work you can hang out with? Join a co-ed bowling league, co-ed softball team, maybe do some volunteer work in your community (Habitat for Humanity, Senior Center, etc.) that will get you out and about, and if a babe (good babe, not stripper) sees you doing these things she will hold you in high regards or someone will set you up on a date... My suggestion may sound crazy but it's the best path to find a girl of value, not a dumb slut... if that's what you're looking for.
yoga classes and dancing classes are GREAT places to meet civilian women. not only that, but these classes will have mostly females and very few males.
and if you don't go in there acting like you're trying to hook up with a girl.....one or more of them will grow a liking to you
@JS69 Haha, I like your advice about the pot. Some of the smartest, most creative people I know, smoke pot. Don't know if there's any correlation though. I've only had two favorite strippers and both claim to be 19. To me they look older, like 23. Must be the makeup.
@Papi As usual, you are like the oracle of TUSCL. You are very wise. I would like to visit Miami one day and club with you. I don't like chocolate though. If Tootsies has cubans, and south american women, I'm there.
@Lopaw I think you are on to something. I am missing intimacy. Something a stripper can't provide since we are just walking ATMs to them.
@Gawker I agree with you. Most people start dating during their teenage years. Something I did not do. I have no explanation for it. Must have been strict upbringing by parents. I don't blame them though. They kept me out of trouble.
I also don't want to scare my stripper away. She's a clean dancer and only 19. Not to mention that she is not hurting for cash. She's very pretty and PLs have spoiled her by paying her good money just for company. I only pay for dances.
@Mr Seaboard JamesSD, Shailynn, GACA, Ujay, et al Great detailed advice guys.
I actually go to the gym. I am fit and not balding. Knock on wood.
I think this explains my current situation:
1) My social circle is small. To make matters worse, they are in the same predicament. I will work on going out more to meet new people.
2) I have a strict policy against dating fatties and single moms. Don't know if I can get past it. Online dating seems to be full of them. I guess at my age, I can't be too picky though.
3) Living with parents. Instead of getting an apartment after college, I decided to stay home and help my parents. I have been paying all bills and mortgage ever since. Eventually I paid off the remaining loan balance with a lump sum.
Thanks for the advice y'all ( It's a Texas thing)
Keep hitting the gym. Work on chest and biceps. Women eat that crap up. I know mrs sea does. Wear tighter shirts. If you're fit and decent looking and don't act like an idiot in public the women will do half the work for you if not more. Single women are out at bars doing the same thing you'll be doing.....looking for a someone to try out and see if they're relationship material. No need to worry about fatties or single moms. Plenty of good looking single women with no kids out at a bar listening to a band with her friends.
"About me:
Mid 30s male
Never dated so no girlfriend, so no sex, so no offspring.
I know I'm not gay."
First, are you sure you're not gay? No disrespect or insult intended (and you can answer via PM if you don't want the answer broadcast) but not dating by the time you're 30 is odd! Very odd! I consider myself a "late bloomer" and I started when I turned 16!
No sex! Does that mean no sex with strippers or hookers? Get a hooker and let her bust that cherry!
Again, no disrespect, but if you're not trolling us I'd find a psychologist! I'm painfully shy and managed to date! I can't picture being a mid-30s virgin! :(
If you really aren't even getting any paid sex that raises the question of whether you want it!
Just one more example of how natural selection actually works in the breeding population. ;)
In the short run you can spin it as you helping them out.
You're in a great position. No fatties is fine, especially since you're fit.
Try tinder. Worst case it doesn't work.
1) Girls universally hate guys who don't spell or use incorrect words (your vs you're ) So spell check and read the hell out of your profile before posting
2) No selfies. I repeat, absolutely no selfies. Always post a pic someone else took (even if you stop this person on the street)
3) take pic of you doing something out doors, at least one with you in a shirt and tie, shirt off pic has to be put in a good context like you changing a car tire
4) your profile should state that You Love Your Life and are just looking to see if you can find that person to share it with.
Good luck out there.
Adults with little sex and dating experience is not that uncommon – not saying it's the norm – but not really that rare.
I agree w/ others that part of adulthood is living on your own – there is a difference and I think that is a step every adult should make unless there is no way around it for w/e reason. I think it will be good for you all around to start living on your own even if there may be some advantages/comforts of living at home – I think it will be good for your psyche and emotional development/maturing.
Going to bars or clubs may work; but not everyone is into that (both men and women) – believe it or not I often see some very nice looking girls/women at the library – so if clubs and bars are not your thing; you may find someone more compatible w/ you such as a library; taking a class; etc – i.e. clubbing or bar-hopping is not necessarily the best way to find a good chick/woman.
You do need to pop that cherry – you are past-due – the example gawker mentioned may actually not be a bad way to go – i.e. try to find an OTC setup w/ a somewhat cool/understanding provider (dancer/escort) and that way you don't have the pressure of having to know what to do w/ a civvie – the provider does not care about your performance just about getting paid and if she's cool about it she may not mind getting paid while teaching you the ropes.
You don't need to rush it but it will not get better on its own (one does not learn to ride a bike by thinking about it) – often times the only way to learn is thru failure but it's worth going thru it – good luck.
First things first though. Get your own place and get laid.
Classic sharkhunter! Absolutely brilliant! :)
Also, remember it's ok not to like sex if that is you! I can't shake the feeling that you may be telling yourself something by waiting until after you're 30th b-day! You may end up loving sex with strippers, loving sex with a SO, loving sex overall, or not really caring! Just TRY it and see!
And be prepared to just plain be yourself! Remember, being yourself is brilliant! Nobody else is going to do that job! :)
1. Fucking listen. Many guys fuck this up by talking all about themselves and not focusing on what the other person is saying. You will find it fascinating how much people reveal about themselves if they perceive you care. I can't even begin to tell you how much time and money I have saved and headaches I have avoided simply by just being an active listener.
2. Be confident. You seem to have your wits about you and ambition beyond your current situation. Use that to your advantage in that don't let the voice in the back of your head tell you otherwise because if you let it consume your thoughts, it will affect your actions.
"Learn to eat pussy well. Just saying."
So, so, true.... It will absolutely up your attractiveness factor to girls.
DO NOT LIE (to a woman, to yourself, or both) that you care about someone more than you honestly do as a means of trying to be more sexually satisfied. In the short or long run, this will backfire VERY BADLY.
If you can find escorts (or other women down for P4P) who you find deserving of politeness and respect, there is nothing wrong with having some fun with them. A harmless cover story would be that you had religious beliefs that prevented you from getting sexual experience earlier, but your religious thinking has changed. If you still creep them out anyway, then yes it's time to see a counselor. The exception being, some sex workers specialize in guys who are total shits, and it actually creeps them out if you are polite to them. You are as special to a sex worker as the piece of toilet paper she used to wipe her ass the last time she took a crap. She wants to get your money with no surprises. If she's any more judgmental of you than a waitress would be, she trying to get your money by fucking your mind not your dick. Don't see her again.
There is nothing wrong with living with a parent as long as you are not doing so out of guilt or fear of running your own life. The solution for not being able to have sex at home is either a hotel or her place.
