    I feel that Its better when you focus on things that you know that you have a close to 100% chance of achieving. Like doing a muscle up is a hard and fun skill to learn but obviously most people cant do it despite how fun it must be to do. But also it is definitely or close to 100% possible EVENTUALLY with years of consistent practice to do, right? Right.

    Losing your v-card? Getting into a relationship? Pft. You can try to do both of these things for your entire life and still fail even if you do everything right and are a smart , kind loyal , and humourous person. Some of the worst humans in history like mobutu, leopold III, karl malone , suharto, pol pot , and adolph shitler ALL had wives. And these a holes all had wives despite their wives and most other people on the planet knowing how selfish and deranged they were soooo… See? Dating is kinda random like that. The shittiest and most obnoxious humans of all times typically had a significant other of some sort … BUT THEN at the same time some of the most quiet, humble , kind humans of all time never met anybody who was interested in them. It just be random like that sometimes. It is what it is.

    I feel that if a person feels like they should give up on dating cause theyve tried for the last 40 or so years and have failed through mostly no fault of their own? Its up to them.Its never a completely good idea or a bad idea to give up on something like dating cause it depends on context and who you are in life, where you are in life, what you want in life, and who else is in your life and wants to potentially see you as a partner . If you want to give up? Then go ahead and do it. But you should give up cause YOU want to give up. You shouldnt continue to seek a partner cause of your parents’ or your community expectations of you or cause some sort of peer pressure. Do it for you. Give up for YOU…or dont give up for YOU.

    But giving up on things that simply require consistent long term effort that you will probably be able to do with a long enough consistent effort is just a bad idea most of the times IMO.
