PMO disabled my ability to maintain meaningful conversations

    When I talk with a girl for the first time, it is always a great conversation. But after 1-3 days of knowing the girl, I run out of things to talk about.

    Could it be PMO that caused this?

    My brain is messed up because of PMO

    You spent too much time on PMO than on interesting hobbies such as spending time in the great outdoors, reading various books, learning motorcycle repair, having philosophical debates.... of course you'll be boring!

    That’s why I’m on day 2 of no PMO.

    Even if I did work on hobbies, and stuff that I love, my brain can’t even think of shit to talk about. I bet when my brain is rewired, I’d be able to get any girl I wanted.

    Well..... I've discovered that when I become more interesting, I am less interested in boring women who can't keep up with the conversation. Although the next thing to practice is learning to listen. Advanced levels of conversation rely more on listening than speaking. No point spewing nonsense that doesn't impress.

    Bro I actually talk about very intellectual shit with people.

    But there’s only so much that I know, and that I can talk about

    I've been there.... sometimes people can't keep up. Might be good to settle on simpler topics like pop culture or music or food. Very pedestrian things, I guess. But conversation is also about learning about the other person. Giving them the chance to speak allows one to learn about new things. ;)

    I do, but I feel like people get bored. Especially girls. Maybe I’m wrong about that, because my confidence is fucked up too

    Don't give up. Making meaningful conversation is an art form. While I realized that having self-confidence is important, it's also necessary to make the other party comfortable. You can be very bold and upfront, but that may intimidate some girls. Feel the mood, get to know them and then change the angle of attack.

    Maybe it’s because I look very serious all the time.

    Maybe I am too upfront with girls, and I get crushes on them way too easily

    I feel like my brain is so fucked up because of PMO, and objectifying women so much, that I get crushes on them too easily lol.

    I envision me being with them and having children etc

    Sure, we all like hot girls. But reality and logic tells us that we can't sleep with or have children with all of them. There would be social chaos!

    It reminds me of that song by lil Wayne called “Every girl in the world.” Look that song up, and notice how relatable it is to rebooting :D

    That's a unhinged fantasy! On a personal note, today was very bad because I was thinking of how to screw the office girls but that's not possible.... much frustration!

    PM me so we can talk more about that.

    Personally, though, I’d only have sex to reproduce. I see no point in daily or weekly having sex for fun.

    If I did do it for fun, which I never have, it would only be occasionally.

    I’m a virgin, by the way, and I’m 15 years old
