Can't get through friday evening

One solution is to find a group that meets every Friday evening. Based on your profile picture, I presume you like soccer/football. Is there a soccer group you could attend on Fridays? An intramural team would be a good option. If not, perhaps there's a group that gets together to support the local team. Failing that, try to find other groups. Since you're a college student, there should be plenty of options. Check out a few different groups and start regularly attending one you like.

Next, you've got to work on your attitude. If you're convinced you're not good enough, you'll never work up the nerve to talk to women. Even if you do, they'll never give you the time of day, as they'll find your insecurity a huge turn-off.

The solution is to improve your sense of self-worth. The first step is to do whatever it takes to get rid of PMO, as watching pornography makes us feel terrible about ourselves.

The next thing is to focus on self-improvement. Improving your appearance will likely increase your confidence, so lift weights, dress well, make sure your grooming is on point. Learn as many skills as you can. Basic first aid, self-defense, car maintenance, home repair, survivalism, etc. It doesn't really matter. The point is that by acquiring new skills, you'll feel more capable and confident, which will be very attractive to women. Really put yourself out there. By doing so, you'll have many more opportunities to meet women. Also, the more socially engaged you are, the better your social skills will be, which is important both for meeting women and career success.

 

The advice above is definitely something that can work, and I have seen it work before, but I have something else to say. Even though I do not advocate that you should NOT work on yourself, I believe that you should try not to care that much for girls in the first place. What interests you besides girls? You will meet girls eventually, and find one, or several. Believe me, it happened to me, and I had crazy good times even though I am a fucking shipwreck and a freak. You don't have to spend your time nervous or looking.

Best of luck.

 

Relevant quote I found on a sister website of nofap

"We need to learn how to live without this world of endless hot chicks, otherwise we'll become extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with real life, which is nothing like porn.

Anyone here is more than capable of getting a girlfriend. But our girlfriends most likely won't look like pornstars, nor they will act like them.

There's a very high probability the sex won't be pornographic in nature. There's going to be a lot of sensuality, caressing, and also clumsiness. Some days your girl will look sexy, other days not so much. Some days she'll be in the mood, other days she won't. Some days you'll struggle to keep it hard, other days you'll cum too fast. She might be able to achieve orgasms, or she might not. You might do it every other day, or maybe only 3-4 times per month.

Remember, pornstars are paid thousands of dollars to do what they're told and fulfill all your fantasies.

You must stop living in dream land.

I know this is very difficult to accept, but we have to give meaning to our lives outside fucking hot chicks.

Our happiness cannot depend on that. Otherwise you'll keep coming back to porn every time you fail to get laid in real life. You will remain attached to "sex with hot chicks" for the rest of your life."

Yeah, it's tough. It sounds like you're staying busy and doing a lot of the right things, so I'm sure you'll soon get past it. One thing I might recommend is setting some sort of fitness goal for Friday nights. Something like 30 pullups/60 pushups/90 body weight squats. Time yourself, and try to reduce your time every week. This gives you something to work towards, and assuming you use proper technique (arms fully extended on pullups, chest on the ground on pushups, below parallel on squats), it'll tire you out. After doing so, take a cold shower. Try to stay under for at least five minutes. Finally, spend some time journaling. You can write about anything of course, but the more specific it is to the use of pornography and the effect it's had on your life, the better.

With that said, I know it's not easy. Keep building your confidence, stay productive and busy, stay away from pornography, and I'm sure everything's going to work out fine.

 

dude i'm exactly the same as i can do monday-thursday if i really want to but come friday it all comes tumbling down. I guess with me though it's not like i'm watching porn because of some inner crisis like loneliness or rejection but simply it's a case of thinking fuck it lets watch some. I almost got through Friday yesterday aswell but died just before going to bed. I went to the gym incidentally for the first time in ages on a friday as i've been meaning to do for a while and it helped me stay of watching until i came back and was just bumming around on the internet not really doing much.

I think i figured out that if i combine training on a friday with leaving my phone locked in my car so it's not reachable to look when the thought pops into my head then I should be able to get through a friday. My problem is if i even just look once it is guaranteed i will look again later that day even if i manage to stop the first time so it really is do or slowly bleed out then die.

 

This is an issue that needs addressed.. you obviously have self esteem issues which are contributing to this cycle. Girls aren't too good for you but you need to have something going on in your life. Work on yourself and yes you need to make plans for the weekend. You're a young guy got everything ahead so don't focus so much on things, just make a plan for the next few months of things you wanna achieve and work on them.

 

this is really simple. A lot of men would feel shy towards the girl they like or find attractive, completely normal.this is your root problem, pmo is just your coping behavior. you're in a cycle. so why not just break it. Try asking out girls you like and don't try to be a mind reader and conclude that you're not good enough for them. You don't know what's in their mind. So just work on improving yourself and get out there and make some small chats or ask their numbers or if its really bad, ask for a friend to be your wingman and starts with texts. Just work on it, small steps can get a long way. if you fear being rejected, get over it fast, if they don't like you, its their choice, it doesn't mean you're not good enough.CHEER UP
