    About 7 months ago I got out of a 5 year relationship, I was 17 when I entered it.

    Now, my knowledge of picking up women is almost nothing, I have, some how in the last few months done that but I can't for the life of me remember what I did..

    Regardless, my issue is as follows... I have lost all motivation of picking up a member of the opposite sex, I go out, mostly to get drunk or party with friends, I'm having a great time, mind you.
    But I see women I'm attracted to, but I feel no push to go up to them and start a conversation. I'm not a complete social moron, but I'm wondering if I have some sort of hormone imbalance.

    I spend four days a week working out, I take vitamin supplements from GNC, the performance pack for men, it contains some tribulous, Omega 3, B12, stuff like that.

    Is there something wrong with me?

    I have no idea dude, Im the same way I think. I never try and pick up women or go out of my way to talk to them, but somehow it just happens. I go out to get fucked up and drunk, next thing I know Im fucking some chick. Happens usually once every couple of weeks. Theres nothing wrong with you, its common sense. if you dont have to go out of your way to get laid why would you?

    yeah, you have a problem: stop over analyzing things. guys don't always make an effort to pick up a person they're attracted to. sometimes you just don't bother with it.

    Advice - this will be controversial, but take it from a former bloke who has been among girls since age 4 - hit on as many as possible until you get a score. Nuff said.

    Not all men are on a sex crazed mission to fuck every woman in the world. I noticed losing interest in that as I grew older and more confident.

    As long as you are happy with what you are doing. Sure, it's fun to have sex, and there was something about having a new girl, but when I used to pick up women it never really felt like it was worth the effort once I had had my fun.. If all you want is to blow your load, masturbation really isn't far off sex with a random. The best nights I've had have usually not ended in sex, but with hanging out with friends.

    I don't know why you would think something is wrong with you just because you don't act predatory towards the female persuasion.

    Sobriety and talking to female acquaintances is a better place to learn social skills with women than being drunk and trying to talk to women at a party.

    You aren't ready for a relationship is all. When your ready you will make a move.

    Yeah getting out of a 5 year relationship is like getting out of jail.

    Not that I've ever been in jail .....

    Nothings wrong with you man, don't try and overcompensate. Some guys just aren't about hitting up every chick with a pretty face and a nice set that walks by. From personal experience there seems to be a group of women who likes that kind of guy and to be honest im just like you too! Past lovers have told me they like guys like me who arn't always making a move and trying to get in their pants because they feel a sense of curiosity and a draw towards the mysterious and intellectual character content to to just talk and hangout with his buddies. Just rep the fact you like chilling the fuck out! It's a good deal my man!

    I`m the same way. Then again, I`m 35 and kind of gay...:biggrin:

    But, when I was in my 20s I used to also go out to get drunk. Nowadays, when I do, I go out to dance. Or to hang out with a couple of friends I love and play games.

    All of the times I picked up chicks were a tremendous amount of effort. Can`t think of a more unpleasant activity short of being raped by cops with plungers. And, I've picked up my fair share of non-pay pussy. Hard work. I would liken it to roofing in the middle of July, or mining, or construction, or being part of a moving crew.

    Eventually, I got burned out on chicks. Nowadays, either chicks pick me up, or I`m paying (most times). Alright, every now and again, I may ask them directly for a kiss or to spend the night.

    If it works, awesome. If not, then at least I`m getting 8 hours of sleep. Getting old. :D

    Whoa. I was caught off-guard by this internet gem. Thank you.

    I wouldn't worry, besides if a female likes you she will let you know. Not being a slave to your sex drive puts you ahead of the game. Stop thinking there is something wrong with you and start thinking of yourself as a catch, deserving of any woman's attention.

    Break ups can make ya kind of numb and leave you questioning the world around you. It'll pass.

    I would recommend staying in control of your drink, you don't want to be plastered when you do make a move, and besides, its always good to know your limits. You are just not looking for a relationship right now. Consider yourself lucky to have a penis, it doesn't "go bad" the way lady parts do. You have time to find the right person and settle down. Practice your social skills by complimenting people, all people. Be polite. Those are great shoes, where did you get them? I noticed you have quinoa in you cart, what aisle was that in? Go shopping and ask a fellow shopper for advice, I'm getting this for my mom, what do you think? Keep in mind that most people don't even know their neighbors, you will often get a "deer in headlights" look. I just smile at people and I get dirty looks. But its no matter how they react, you are teaching yourself confidence and small talk.

    It is possible that you are out of balance hormonally, or nutritionally. You should see a doctor for a physical (again, always a good idea) and mention your concerns. If your doctor doesn't want to listen to your concerns or address them, find a new doctor. I hate doctors that won't listen, they think they're always right, but YOU know your body best.

    The right person will come along. Get your situation where you want it, save money for the mysteries of the future. Not having to spend money on another person puts you in a great position to save for your down payment on a house. Find a good credit union and invest in something for tomorrow. See if your employer offers a stock option.
    Enjoy your new adult outlook on life. Starting young sometimes gets you stuck in that frame of mind.

    You're alright bro. Stop taking chemical shit, smoke the herb, and chill. Don't try to pick up women because they're attractive. Get to know them, and see if you appreciate them for who they are.

    You aren't required to go out and pick up chicks until you want to. Nothing is wrong, you're just not ready for a relationship yet.

    Maybe your sexual appetite is down.

    I personally love chasing women, which means talking with them and purposely leading the conversation in certain directions, if you know what I mean.

    I must admit that when I take low doses of acid, my sex drive is boosted, I get hungry.


    Just give it time man, you'll be fine. You can't expect to be a successful all the time.

    Dude there's nothing wrong with you, seriously, you just need to relax. Smoke a fat one. Girls like confidence; If you ACT confident, (even if you're really not,) girls will respond. Also, don't be too clingy or demand for too much attention, cause girls will run from that type of behavior.
