Under What Circumstances Should a Guy Give Up Entirely?

[Epicwinguy]

In your opinions, when should a guy give up on hooking up with women and stick to escorts? Is there a certain age? Is there a medical condition you think would make picking up chicks impossible? Under what circumstances should a guy give up?

When he is frustrated, tired of dating games, doesn't want to improve, has better things to do than chase women, and doesn't want anything more than sex with a stranger.

I've given up and I don't want to bang escorts either. I'm 50 in a couple of months
and I'm entirely over the whole song and dance... For every reason to roll dice again
I can think of 10 why I should cash out now.

I'm gonna be that cliche a**hat who says you should never just give up, but that's my mentality being projected on to you. I'd never pay for sex and would rather go the good ol MGTOW right hand maneuver. To each there own.

Giving up temporarily? whenever he needs a break or his plan of action needs a lot of focus.

Giving up permanently? Almost Never. Unless you can become a Buddhist monk and suppress your earthly desires I don't think you'll ever be happy with failure and loneliness.

I would say that no one should ever give up.. Not at any age because there's always some one of age out there for you.. However, if you are finding yourself walking in quick sand, It's best to stop struggling.. Take some time and really working on yourself and not focusing any of your attention on women during that period of time. The greatest accomplishment a man can do in this life, is not earn millions of dollars, but mold himself into something he never thought he would become.

Unless a guy got his penis cut off, I think part of being a man a.k.a embracing your masculinity is the thrive to "hunt" (if you will) women. So I don't think there should ever be any circumstances in which a man "gives up entirely"

This is completely alien to me, I've never had any urge of the sort. I have never approached a woman in my life,
any way I play that out in my head, it's creepy and uncalled for to interrupt what a woman is doing and tell her
you want to rub yourself up against her. Every woman I have ever been with has approached me, 7 in total,
I have turned down probably a similar number of female approaches also, I don't just take whatever comes along.

When it's obvious you're not afforded goodwill from females.

A guy will know when he’s had his fill of frustration with women and sees the futility of continuing in the game.

It’s a personal decision. There’s no specific criteria that have to be met.

I wouldnt think of it as giving up but: If I was divorced with kids and had plenty of money, maybe I could get a young sugar baby or something like that. I say that now, but if the time comes I might feel different.

Never give up. Always work on yourself, if only for your OWN good and not for women. You don't have to go actively chase and make it a primary focus, but be aware of opportunities and take them as they come.

And if you are in the top percentiles of your age range in fitness, finance, and other aspects of your life... the opportunities WILL come.

 

[Modern Man Advice]

Never.

No retreat. No surrender. That is man's law.

Never.

I agree fully.
No reason to as long as you take care of yourself and look good.

Not necessary! Smash college students at the local watering hole on Saturday. Easy.

 

[Mike32ct]

While I understand the “never give up” philosophically…

Do you think the women/dating issue is unique compared to say work/school/money (or other) challenges because we don’t control women?

I suppose when one no longer has any interest.

 

[The Duke]

From what I've seen, the men that struggle with women are lacking in one or more areas. They either need to improve or date lower SMV women. If you don't like that, then check out.

Its no different than anything else in life that requires effort and skill. Those that work the hardest, keep improving, and take risks get rewarded.

Adulthood isn't about getting a trophy just because you participated. That might have been the way it was during your childhood, but not adulthood.

Eh, seems like a quick route to creepy old man status.

What OP mentions as "only options is with pro's" is
1) you are stuck in a Dead Bedroom marriage, with NO desire to go through the crucible of divorce. Think post age 50.
2) you have a health issue that dramatically lowers your physical appeal. Colostomy bag for instance. Mobility reduced (wheel chair bound).
3) You are relocated away from your wife and family for work for an extended time. Bedding a Pro keeps it purely sex release, not emotional. Don't ask, Don't tell...
