What are some good books that a kissless handholdless 28 year old virgin can escape the crushing reality of his...

This exactly. I went from a popular baut unattractive boy during my early adolescence to a semi-chad figure during my last two years of high school.
Whenever I was making out I couldn't stop thinking about how fleeting that delight was. Waking up next to a girl, no matter how much I loved her, always reminded me of how even that fell short of managing any of my existential dread.
It felt very poetic, but it's truly miserable. At least you, user, can still live with a platonic image and some semblance of hope.

>realize you are addicted to escapism
Always looking for my next fix.

nah i think i found it on /tg/ a while back

No bro. You don't need another book, you need another life. Big part of the reason you're in this situation you hate is likely your escapism and passivity. You have to change to experience the things you desire and missed on.

Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you. You can focus on the good things in life. Like a bottle of ice cold Coca-Cola®

Seconding this question

Women are not worth it. The only thing you can get from them is a wet hole once in a while if you are lucky but that is stupid. Crushing reality is being without money or health, and it is not if you are a saint or stoic.

damn, pimp. really came for my neck with this one.

but i will say that while romance wont fix you, and quite often makes issues more apparent. "i'm lying here next to a woman i'm at least fond of and i can't sleep, i'm miserable, and something is screaming at me to run away"

but the love of a nice girl can make the days go by a little easier at least.

Holy shit, just stop being such a nigger and get out there. Reading won't help.

I think I have an answer.
A lot of these books are written by monks who have no access to money or to a publishing company, so they throw together a low quality book cover to serve as the thumbnail for their books which they can only 'publish' as a PDF/some other eBook format for free online.

You are upset because you hold this notion that those things are meaningful and you probably have a very skewed and unrealistic, idealistic image of women that you project unto them.

You're not alone user, not a book but a record, listen to it with some good headphones on in the dark.

>not having sex is a crushing existence

Frogposters should be put in a gulag

this. You only start feeling worse because you can't get the women you want

It's normal to want to connect to others especially in a romantic way. It can be frustrating not to fulfil these urges especially when the majority of people get to at least once. So are people trying to invalidate op's feelings?

Pretty much anything will work. Very dense non-fiction might work the best since you end up absorbed in learning about a particular subject so you don't notice that your life sucks while you contemplate, say, the relative merits of Gothic versus Byzantine architecture.

He's not saying it's frustrating, he's saying it is enough to ruin his entire existence. It's hard to take a person's feelings seriously when they can't stop and look at their position objectively

Well, at 28 I can't exactly blame him for despairing. It's as if his entire life has been so worthless that no one wants to share it with him.

>the love of a nice girl
Such a thing doesn't exist. Women do not love men, they love what men can do for them, but they don't have it in them to love men, the way we can love them. Accept this situation and you will be much much less miserable. You'll realize that having the love a woman doesn't happen to you because you are a failure or whatever, or inferior, but because it simply doesn't exist and no one on this Earth is loved by a woman with the exception of his mother. Women are biologically engineered to love their children, and they do not have the soul to "love" in the way that men do. If they had, they would have written poetry in the glory of men and how beautiful they are and how selfless they are, dying in wars, cultivating the land, all for their wives and children; they didn't.

Firstly, do you love yourself? It may be a simple question but depending on the answer it may determine whether a partner will help you be happier. If you don't love yourself, be it your hobbies, personality, your job, your goals, and lastly your looks, then you will still be miserable if you find a partner. Your partner can only stand being with you if you have a negative attitude for so long, and you may end up dumped, cheated on, or in an abusive relationship. If you love yourself (in a non narcissistic way) then you won't be desperate for a partner, and you won't care about not having one until you actually find the right one. And then, you won't feel like they complete you, but more like they are there for you in your life journey.

The true answer

go to a brothel, realize sex isn't all that great, but also get over the hump of believing that you are limited to what you can understand by not having experienced sex yourself. win win. wear a condom, don't be weird.

this is an interesting idea that I have never seen before.

Women do write poetry and songs about how much they love men though, but they don't love them for dying in wars or cultivating land. They love them for rather different reasons

>love yourself
>in a non narcissistic way
You can't have it both ways, faggot. I built my self-esteem on looking down on other people, I do believe I'm superior. Either I'm inferior to others (in society's eyes) or superior, but I'm definitely not equal to others. Get fucked.

>different reasons
Which are?

see
Women can purely love men. :3

Just because you've never experienced it doesn't mean they can't.

Personal, and different for every person. :3

The same as men, really, in that regard. I would hazard a guess and say it is somewhat materialistic in many women's minds, but there are still -some- purer women out there, who long for someone based on how they think/they are.

Honestly I just want to experience the love of a woman so I can just get it out of the way and off myself without the feeling of having missed out on a fundamental human experience.

I have no delusions that it will somehow make me feel fulfilled or give me purpose but I just need to know what feels like so I can fade away in peace.

100 years of solitude
At least know that living and dying happens beyond your control: you're either going to be the spitting image of your parent or die before you can shake the cycle. If you hide your autism enough to reproduce, you're children will be just as retarded as you.

At least in the book there's magic.

You should probably face your problems instead of trying to run away. (That's not the title of a book.)

Looking at it this way, human lives are cut too short. There's so many things you'll never get to experience because our times are limited. So many unread books, uneaten food, etc. If we at least lived an extra 200-300 years, then we could at least die feeling like we never missed out on anything.

So do people actually get wizard powers if they reach 30 as a virgin? I'm asking because I'm like 99.98% certain I'm going to be the second person to hit 30 without having had sex.

>I'm going to be the second person to hit 30 without having had sex.
Honestly I feel like many more men hit that milestone than you'd expect and it's only going to increase in the coming years. I just really find it hard to believe that it's such a universal thing as people make it out to be. There's just no fucking way.

You just won't be a mindless cunt slave like most of humans.

I'm like 70% of the way there and the more I think about it the more incredulous I find it that a guy could actually be a virgin at age 30. Feels like everyone complaining about not scoring or being an "incel" has at least gotten a quick pity fuck or hire an escort or something.

fuckin normie

Have you tried kissing, holding hands and having sex with a woman? This might solve your problem

Lifehack like jacking off, since second grade + fear of girls started by traumatic encounter with one in kindergarten + being hypersensitive + not giving a fuck parents.

You're a retard. Love yourself by knowing that you are definitely worth something to people and the world relatively. You show this by putting value to your own self worth, meaning that if someone does not show you respect in many different ways, then you should not have to take it and simply move on. You should value your time, efforts, etc., and associate with people who value you for being you. When dealing with narcissistic people, they value themselves artificially and don't make efforts to put a value worth respecting and are enamored with themselves blindly.

Doesn't matter how often you see this. It is a fact of life.

It can have a profound impact on people nonetheless to experience physical and emotional intimacy with someone. It won't solve all your problems but it's nice to know you have the capacity to be loved.

>mfw when you chase objects of your desire, not understanding that it always runs around object petit a, the sructural void that we try to fill in trough our lives
>mfw when you realize that the desire is first of all desire to desire, so no object is never fully "it"

This but humans work like AI learning off one another and a SO helps
