>Game that Japanese males play to fill the void of their real life teenage years
>Thinking that Persona 5 is realistic in any way
Anon, save your family some grief, and experience the cold harsh truth.
it was somewhat realistic minus the girls
The game literally teaches you that fostering social relationships is the way to "reform". You don't need to be a high schooler to do that.
*as long as you look like a model
no, you can also just make friends with a guy who looks like a model. Just find your joker and be his social link anon, it'll reform your life.
If you try to raise your social rank among highschool students without being one yourself you're going to jail.
dont several people in both persona 4 and 5 manage to form social bonds with a high schooler despite not being one themselves
There are plenty of links that aren't high schoolers. It's irrelevant anyway, that isn't the point.
People like you are the reason why westoid games are pushing more and more for ugly gorilla characters every single fricking year.
There are ugly characters in Persona, theyre considered irredeemable. If you don’t look like a model, you can’t reform.
Yes you can! Here, come play my game, where all the cast are ugly monsters that no one wants to look at for 2 seconds and that you can fulfill your widest fantasies! Look! The gorilla faced girl is finally becoming the hero! And look! The disabled PoC dude is finally ending up with the girl of his dreams, his blind paraplegic highschool sweetheart! Only $79,99!
/s
Joker looks like a model because people like attractive things and that will drive sales. Taking that personally only makes the industry worse by having people trying to pander to your insecurities. Go out there and foster some social links. You think nerds that have DnD groups that have been bros for years are attractive? You bet some of those "reformed" people, as in preventing them from having a social breakdown and shooting up some place.
You just typed all of that to cope. It’s a fact that Persona hates ugly people.
Says the guy who can't cope with being ugly.
Not a good comeback.
not reading this garbage but you really need to frick off back to plebbit
Persona omits the fact that people don't necessarily want to associate with you
And that's fine. If they want nothing to do with you, you move on. Not everyone has to be a connection. I think people get hung up on rejection too much and treat it as a worse thing than it really is. If someone's not interested, whatever. There's 8 billion people on this scab, and you'll certainly find some like-minded weirdos to be around. Yes, even of the opposite sex. Problem is if you're looking for someone in a similar zone as you, your competition will be understandably high.
>t. married boomer Gankerirgin that got stopped giving a shit about being a doomer loner being the main limiter. It took a bit of failure and learning and adapting, but it worked out ultimately
what, glasses?
for me it was snoot game
tell again what exactly you homosexuals find so divine about teen love. Genuinely don't understand why you losers lose sleep over shit like this. Move on you fricking manchild
Even if it doesn't last, it's training for real relationships, and part of the reason I can't talk to women
work out until you are physically imposing and then go around scaring women at your pleasure
Dont take for granted the middle-high school years of a persons life. Its the only time girls are forced to hang around the relatively same group of boys from their teens to their blooming adulthood. Due to this, girls can learn to be actually comfortable around said group without having to fear them by instinct, giving young boys the best chance to make the attempt of actually asking them out, or even just talking to them and being friends. Money also doesnt play a role when it comes to girls picking guys cause no one(ideally) is supposed to be a wagie during this time, so shit like chemistry can actually naturally fricking develop.
Take a girl and throw her into the adult world and then all that shit gets thrown out the window. Now a womans way of meeting guys involves running across strangers she doesnt recognize of the street, and a woman's naturally instinct is gonna take priority over just simply trusting some stranger, so women will just naturally assume you are gonna rape them. In addition, whether she is a lazy thot or a working woman, shes gotta pay bills now, so now a guys gotta get a resume of work in order to get their foot in the door.
>But what about hitting on a girl in the workplace/college?
Women come to work to work, and men also dont want to evenly remotely risk hitting on a girl in the workplace cause if something goes wrong you cant simply assume all will be forgiven and just blow over. College can recreate the high school environment though, however in college you cant bet on being in the same classes as someone else for years on end so it can be a crap shoot if a man isnt lucky.
High school may not be the magical place where everything was better, but in terms of getting a b***h it was the best shot any normal person could have.
accept you are never having your textbook anime girlfriend and grow up. You can either accept you are gonna get some girl who spent her twenties sleeping around before getting her life on order or you can just accept you'll never have a wife or girlfriend for that matter and focus on other things in your life. Do or become something interesting and maybe, just maybe you'll run into a decent woman. but don't keep your hopes up, life isn't some gayime shit.
Holy fricking shit, teen romance is literally the only way to obtain love as God intended. You're supposed to find a girl you like when you're in high school, start dating her, then marry her and raise a happy nuclear family.
Once girls go to college, they frick hundreds of dudes. Occasionally you get lucky and find a girl who's just had one long term boyfriend she recently broke up with, but even that's rare.
My wife was literally a virgin before me and we were both in our 30s when we started dating. They exist, if you're dissatisfied with your local dating pool then maybe you should leave whatever shithole you are in aka. the West in general.
so what? you missed out. Go do something else with your life. Become an artist, a mercenary, a pilot or any of the hundreds of other cool things you can do with your life. Don't think your life is over because you didn't have awkward sex with a girl when you were a teenager.
>pic
Please don't hurt me like that.
It's honestly true, I mean it sucks but that's really how it is. Also if you haven't had sex before 18 you will never ever have sex.
>Also if you haven't had sex before 18 you will never ever have sex.
aint that the truth
>inb4 suckers that fell for prositiute scam
>life ends at 18
>have to be 18 to post here
We're all zombies
its by 22 in the west atleast.
As a certified wizard its true. Life flies by quickly. If you didn't have that in high school then its over. Nothing is more sad than adults trying to still live like its highschool.
33 year old virgin here. Correct.
>Nothing is more sad than adults trying to still live like its highschool.
I dunno, I'm having the absolute most fun and active time in my life as a 27 year old boomer. Life's fun as frick right now and I'm living like I was still 19 while having the money a housing conditions a well off 30 year old has
>just turned 33
>wizard
I've honestly become so accustomed to the singularity and focusing on my wants, needs, desires, and dreams, I wonder if I even have it in me to love another another person and add theirs to my life.
>I can't better myself because something I've never had is holding me back
That's the stupidest goddamn thing I've ever heard. I got through college, got a career in IT (lost it, looking for another), got to 15% body fat (not right now), and even pursued my childhood dream on the side of doing VO work. All that and my penis has never felt the inside of a woman. Maybe you don't have any close friends either and that could frick you up, but not getting laid is most certainly not gonna hold you back in life.
I say coffee shops personally, it's fricking weird how many cute girls work at local coffee shops.
Why not see an escort? Unfortunately, you've reached a point of comfortable independence where the only thing you need women for are sex and emotional support, and as someone in the middle of your career, you justifiably think you deserve better than fat single moms.
what do adults do to hangout then? Just go to a bar and talk?
Can you kill my brother as well, that POS tried to get my father to commit suicide for his money. If not I will do it myself
The story doesn't end when you're 20+, they just don't make a lot of games about that.
yeah, to all persona bros who think that they're too late check out Yakuza 7, the whole point (at least of the first 20 hours) is about that, taking control of your life by small steps
boo hoo been on the piss millions of times with plenty of c**ts. Just get drunk you gay like everyone it makes you cool instantly
Dont even remind me. I completely missed out on my 16-22 years due to social anxiety and severe acne.
The only compensation I got was to frick 22, 23 and 25 year old pussy when I turned out 29, lol.
What if you tried asking Makoto, Futaba, Ann and Haru out but all of them told you they only date black guys. How would you respond without sounding angry?
you lose it after 18 anyway
I didn't play the game, so what do you mean, friends? A girl? I'm going to be a demotivating piece of shit but yeah, honestly chances are that if you couldn't get that in your teens, which is basically the time that on average people are most socially active yeah, you most likely won't get that much further unless you really do a 180
Depends though, you can change yourself and seek socials but the approach is different (not so much if you're still in your 20s though) everyone's and their circumstances are different, but truth is that a lot of friendships that last at least to late 20s are those you met when you were young. Idk, shit can happen and you can meet new people 100% so don't get discouraged but it's also a bit weird that you didn't have at least a couple of friends or a girl by the time you're 20, speaks a bit about you. This is my experience anyway, cheers
Correct
I'm 19 and I played Persona 5 to cope with being a friendless moron throughout high school
It hurts to look at the game now. I don't know if it will get better.
I've gotten into a friend group somehow through sheer luck in my first year of uni, but I feel like an inexperienced fish out of water during social situations.
What could've been. I try not to think too much about it now, at least.
Persona 4 is where the real post game depression hits
>t. played P5R back in May and P4G in June this year, waiting for Reload to bother with 3
I'm the opposite. Had a friend group in high school, but I never hung out with them after school because I was still kind of a social moron. Despite that it made school so much easier to get through because it was just a blast to get into trouble with them or shoot the shit while at lunch or homeroom. Now I'm almost done with uni and I haven't made a single friend. I just play games with some of my HS friends online from time to time and it sucks. I don't even want the chance to meet a girl or anything I just want those old times again when me and some buds would do dumb shit in class and doodle racist shit on our homework. But I guess I'm almost outta here anyways so no point fretting over it at this point.
correct!
Where do I find Ann that wants me to frick her?
Why is it so difficult to make friends as an adult?
Most adults are already settled with their group of friends, or just too busy with work/etc to go out there and meet people. University is about the last chance you have to form bonds and relationships. It's literally over after.
You could become friends with your cowor-
I forget that Ganker is NEET central.
>You could become friends with your coworker
Terrible idea unless you work a fast food job
>fast food job
does this actually work
A surprising amount of cute girls work in fast food
man those eyes are so pretty
She's literally an Instathot LARPing for a video. You got bamboozled.
Because, unlike kids, adults don't have to be trapped in the same environment with the same people for years.
I'm 35 and I make new friends regularly. I became good friends with a guy I met climbing in the alps. I invited him to a game night, he brought some new guys which I also start to be on good terms with. I'm also good friends with some of my coworkers at my new job. It is more difficult than during school, but its not impossible.
Can I really find a girl like Ohya by going to a bar? I love her so much.
>never been laid, last non-LDR relationship was hs crush back when I was 14
>talking to therapist about loneliness
>"anon you've been addicted to the internet since you were a kid, if you want to pick up girls at bars or something you're gonna have to start from square one and work your way up from the ugly ones"
>basically goes on to tell me that if I really want to meet a quality girl, the best way to do that is to focus on myself and my career, and then someone will probably come along
it's obscenely difficult to focus on myself and build a career when I've never touched pussy once in my life
>it's obscenely difficult to focus on myself and build a career when I've never touched pussy once in my life
Fricking this, your therapist sounds like an butthole btw. I have similar issues and my therapist suggested the best thing to try was working on my pre-existing self-worth issues.
That therapist is shit, you don't need to settle for the ugly ones first, but the core idea is not that wrong. What girls find attractive are not the same things that men do. They want a person they can rely on, can trust, can be around for them, can provide, etc. A fricker without a job, without education and without a character won't do frickall for them. So yes, building a career and having a stable income will eventually net you some pussy and hopefully you can find someone who isn't a gold digger.
Moreover, a lot of young men fail to realize that the game is actually stacked against women the more you age. Even at 35+ men don't have a problem dating women who are in their twenties so you have a lot more time than women have to build a career (meanwhile men in their 20s have to compete with older men that have had a lot more time to get their shit together so no wonder it's hard). Just fap to VNs for the meantime and build a family later when you have bank, it's literally that easy.
>Even at 35+ men don't have a problem dating women
This is cope from Gen X redpillers who themselves didn't accomplish this and instead date women in their 30s-40s; they know a guy, and so on but they never do it themselves. Aging makes it harder for men; just not as hard a women. The best time to date women in their early 20s is when you're also in your early 20s and hang out with them.
Social circle is king. This is followed by either looks or drugs.
(Cross-thread)
>The best time to date women in their early 20s is when you're also in your early 20s and hang out with them.
Lmao. That's 100% recipe for unplanned births and divorce.
Men get uglier as they age just like women. Your highest raw looks would have been around 18-20 after several years of consistent work in the gym.
If you don't have social access to 20-somethings, you're options are apps (where 30yo boomers get algorithmically suppressed), or doing braindead pickup shit which requires hundreds-thousands of tries according to the people that think it's the greatest way to meet women, and you still need to looksmaxx like you do for apps. Any chance encounter is going to be primarily based on the shallowest aspects of who you are - which is to say your rapidly declining looks. This is why creepy 30yo boomers hang around music scenes or go to grad school in many cases, and frankly get better pussy than 90% of alpha males trying to sell you their dating courses.
>Men get uglier as ACK
Sorry dude, but Brad Pitt and Leo looked better at 20 than they did at 30 and certainly better than they look now.
goes on to tell me that if I really want to meet a quality girl, the best way to do that is to focus on myself and my career, and then someone will probably come along
This is bullshit. Look at the quality of pussy that billionaire CEOs get; run-through 50yos like Bezos's girlfriend.
This boomer hasn't been in dating postTinder and IG, and he's going to blow smoke up your ass like this.
>the ugly ones
This is the only place where he's right. That's your realistic option if you're an average guy, fat b***hes. Or ones with serious baggage like single moms. That's what average *is* in your mid-late 20s in America.
>it's obscenely difficult to focus on myself and build a career when I've never touched pussy once in my life
Just take a vacation to Tijuana, Barcelona, or Thailand and treat yourself for once. Get it over with.
Ive had talks with the older crowd who chose to be single willingly, and I mean skin-wrinkled old voice old. Let me tell you, even though they chose to be single, the feeling of loneliness just doesnt go fricking away, even for the folk who decide to "work on themselves". Anyone who tells you "Just work on yourself bro" tell you this because that is the thing that can control. Anything about trying to get laid is an outside factor that they cant track/control so they dont bother on that end. Granted, you still should work on yourself bros but that shit isnt actual advice on trying to hit on women
Its all a fricking risk so the best bet is just trying to find places to hang out where you know women come. If that place has a "regular" youve seen, try to ask em out and if it. If it fails, just bail and repeat. It'll involve a lot of rejection but honestly you gotta build the tolerance to not take offense to it. Women are not fricking queens so if one turns you down then it aint worth getting hanged up on. If your real ballsy you can do it on the spot but Id recommend doing that in a controlled public environment so the girls cant just automatically assume you are gonna assault them.
Learn to flirt too, just disguise compliments in a way to let em know that your interested but if shes not then its not the end of your fricking world and you can move on.
You are such a fricking pussy. You're telling me, that you refuse to improve your life in any way just because you have never had sex? You are fricking pathetic. Get off your ass right fricking now and do whatever it is you need to do. It helps if you just accept you'll probably never have a girlfriend, and get on with your fricking life you god damn manchild. Life is not about having sex, stop telling yourself it is just because every single homosexual shit anime you've watched tells you so. If you want even the slimmest chance of having a girlfriend, you are gonna need to improve yourself. How do you expect a girl to friend some homosexual porn addicted weeb NEET to be attractive in slightest? You don't need a fricking therapist to you this. You know it yourself but you just keep making excuses because you are a lazy fricking loser.
not him but I literally landed a gf online from my city while also being a turbo addicted porn (to anime porn) weeb and also a doll collector. I mean, I used to share pictures of dolls with her and stuff. It doesn't matter, it's all about personality
normalgays are so weird. imagine if michael phelps was approached by some fat motherfricker who didn't know how to swim and reacted with the kind of vitriol that you see in this post
not a normalgay never had a gf or sex and I haven't interacted with friends IRL regularly since high school I just find the thought process of morons like the one I replied to, to be fricking moronic. I just know there's no point being a little fricking whiny homosexual refusing to get off my ass because I haven't put my penis in a fleshy hole
I wanted really badly to call you a homosexual hypocrite but I have a newfound respect for you now knowing that you have the resolve that I lack despite being in a similar situation
frick it guess I ought to saddle the frick up
I'm sorry I came off as such an angry homosexual but its just I see this so much and I just want my homies to suck it up and get on with their lives.
you know what, man? you're alright.
So are you feller. Have a good night. Hope your life improves.
your father had sex. his father had sex. every one of your ancestors had sex. there's no point to being alive if you can't have sex.
There are literally hundreds of experiences one can have that I bet you are likely far more fulfilling and exciting than having sex. Stop hiding behind "muh natural selection" and go do something with your life. Become a great artist who makes masterworks that makes a man think or go do something fricking crazy like being a mercenary or a fighter pilot. In fact I guarantee you being a fighter pilot is 1000x more exhilarating and fulfilling than having sex.
>Become a great artist who makes masterworks that makes a man think or go do something fricking crazy like being a mercenary or a fighter pilot. In fact I guarantee you being a fighter pilot is 1000x more exhilarating and fulfilling than having sex.
Bro I did a lot of cool stuff in my life. I climbed several mountains, I piloted a helicopter, I built my own house from scratch, I started a bussiness with a mate when I was 17 that worked out really well and helped a ton of people, I won a couple local vidya tourneys and had thousands of people yell my name more than once. I was a teached for years and got loving gifts from lots of students who lookes up to me.
Cumming bare back inside a girl I just met and having her look at me with passionate eyes beats EVERY one of them. No joke. It's just... Primal. Can't beat thousands of years of evolution.
>basically goes on to tell me that if I really want to meet a quality girl, the best way to do that is to focus on myself and my career, and then someone will probably come along
Don't fricking listen to this idiot. I am on the opposite side, my entire life my family pushed me to focus on my career. Excel at school for good uni, here have this side education by the way, excel at uni for good job and also study for this second degree at the same time as your first one, all that shit. I am now a burnt out moron that can't meaningfully form relationships beyond an acquaintance, because I am fricking spent and I don't have emotional capacity and attention span to genuinely listen to people instead of humming in right places so I can escape the interaction as soon as possible.
Yeah, your social life basically falls off a cliff after college unless you're very lucky.

lol this is literally a fantasy appealing to japanese people moron,
in their teens they deal with a spartan education system, and then after that a spartan overtime world culture.
Literally the ideal of being a popular teenager with lots of free time to socialise and date girls is like the national escapism, because past high school real life is literally a wagie cagie hell but like in a country where unpaid overtime is the national culture, making you want to KYS.

why they larping europe so hard

Who gives a frick what japan teaches you? Your parents and peers should shape your outlook on the world not kusoge RPGs with dating sim mechanics.
Women owe me sex.
The Japanese also believe that the only time you are allowed to be happy in life are the first two years of high school, in the third year you have to spend all your time studying for exams and after that join the collective hivemind working 14 hours shift 7 days a week if you do anything else you are a failure the absolute scum of the earth and deserve to be molested by Mike Tyson
