The reason why I’m asking this question is because alot of my friends are saying that I’m a loser and weirdo because I’m 26 years old and I have never been on a date with anyone.

I don’t want to go on dates with anyone or go meet anyone parents or even have anyone live with me in my 1 bedroom condo.

All I want to do in life is play video games and watch anime all day and jerk off to my anime waifus everyday in my 1 bedroom condo because they’re hot as fuck.

But what do you guys think am I a loser for not wanting to go on a date with anyone ever or no?

    I guess the answer depends on why you don’t want to date. Asexuality exists but are you ace or do you have other reasons for abstaining?

      My reason for not wanting to date anyone is simply because all I want to do is just play video games and watch anime all day in my 1 bedroom condo. I don’t want to go on dates with anyone because I really love being by myself and not having any responsibilities in life.

        I mean that’s fine. But I’d encourage monitoring this feeling. We change as we get older and have different experiences in life. Sometimes we want different things than we did. Ace folks are different than folks with preferences against dating but still, leave room for change if you can, would be my unsolicited advice

    Doing better than me trying to be in relationships but still having less sex than my ace friend because she married someone who isnt ace and feels confortable obliging them I guess.

    Dude, I am by choice where you are now. BUT I was married twice with 12 years in between 1st divorce and second marriage. Second marriage lasted like 2 years LOL. So it is awesome that you know what you want at your age. Let no one shame you for being yourself.

      If I met a woman that was into to anime and video games. I would ask for her discord username so that I can play video games with her and talk about anime with her on discord. But I would still never go on a date with her because I love being by myself and not having any responsibilities in life.

        Asking for her discord and playing games together IS a date homie, even virtually. Just not the classic traditional date in that sense. My wife and I have been together for 21 years and have a son together. We still watch anime and play video games. It’s like I’m on a date with her everyday. In my case, not virtually.

        It’s all about sharing experience together.

          I agree that me asking for her discord and playing video games with her online could be considered a date to alot of people.

          But my reason for asking her discord and playing video games with her online is just so I can have a new friend. I do not want to date her and have her move in with me. Because I like being myself and having no responsibilities in life.

            Fair. Counter point, my wife and I are each other’s best friends. We trust each other’s deepest secrets and we depend on each other. We just find it more convenient to communicate with each other’s friendship in person and in the same house.

            You can also have a similar, if not exact relationship online.

    I don’t call any of my friends losers. If I call them a weirdo, I mean it as a compliment. I’m a weirdo myself. I don’t think the problem is your sex life or desires. The problem might be that you don’t have strong boundaries. Maybe have a boundary where you won’t tolerate being called a loser. Tell them you don’t like that. If they continue to do so, then stop hanging out with them. If they get upset, that’s their problem. You don’t have to tolerate that. Even better, there are people out there that don’t want to call you a loser. You just haven’t found them yet, and it’s going to be hard to find them if you keep spending time with people that don’t want you to be respected.

    I don’t quite understand thinking fake images are hot as fuck, they aren’t real?

    But you aren’t hurting anyone, your friends need to chill. Enjoying the life you have is a good life, by definition. You don’t have to decide what you are doing for your whole life right now either, if you change your mind later you can change your life then.

    They’re insecure mate, always needing to compare. I’m the same, I’m not gonna be in a relationship unless I feel love. The act of wanting to get physical, where the body moves on its own and you need to specifically stop the body from moving to not, rather than put effort to move… the feeling is mutual when it comes. I’ve personally not felt it and won’t engage in a sexual relation until I do.

    If anything you seem happier than them from the description, however incomprehensible that may seem from the content of your post. People generally do not behave that way, going out of the way to make a point that they are in a good place in life, even more so showing that they are better than others, if their own lives are not secretly unhappy wrecks and they’re too embarrassed to work on it… instead choosing to fool others and themselves.

    If it were me, I’d cut off contact pretty much immediately and even advise you to do the same, though in most cases people do in fact stay around regardless.
