online dating and nofap

I personally can't really say anything about the Dating aspect of your question, since I don't really have any experience with that. Purely as a bystander, I'd say it should most likely be fine though.

Having a good exercising routine and nutrition plan is great. If you really stick to the plan, you are almost guaranteed to see results. That will give you a) motivation to keep going and b) hell of a lot of confidence in yourself. I can speak from experience here. I work out for a couple of years now but the first two of those years, I kinda half-assed my nutrition and therefore didn't really progress at all. A while ago however, I changed my nutrition plan and really started to follow it thoroughly. Since then my progress is very satisfying to watch week by week. I'd highly recommend to take pictures every week as well as messuring your body (like arms, waist, thighs, etc.) and write that down. Progress is quite slow, so it can seem like you always stay the same visually. But when you look at your messurements, you'll see how much you really changed. When you want to lose fat, it is also benefitial not to lose it too quickly. Otherwise, you'll also lose quite a bit of muscle mass and you probably don't want that. Given that you want to trim down over the course of a couple of months, you have plenty of time. So, it should all be just fine.

Good luck!

 

Diet for sure is the most important part, especially if your goal is fat loss. For fat loss, it's mainly about "Calories in < Calories out". You'll never be able to out-train a bad diet. It's so much harder to burn excess calories than it is to just not eat them in the first place. Therefore, your primary goal should be to keep your diet in check. So, actually you could say this: You can exercise all you want, if you eat a bad diet (meaning more calories in than out) you will not lose fat at all. Obviously, it's not only important how much you eat, but also what you eat. That also makes a differnence.

For muscle-building it's a little different. Then exercise and nutrition need to go hand-in-hand. You need the right building blocks for your muscles to grow (therefore a proper nutrion plan), as well as the right stimulus to the muscle. Only if stimulus and building blocks are properly given, the muscle will grow.

 

Yes, they were pioneers in this area. It's really amazing what they could do with so little information.

 

This is a difficult one.

For me my chances of potentially meeting up with a woman to date in real life massively increases when I use dating sites. But then on the other hand I very quickly begin using them the same way I would use a porn site.

They are a high novelty platform. Constant searching, constant new profiles, constant new images.

What I find my self doing is constantly searching and flicking about these profiles, using them in the same way I use porn, and masturbating to them. Then also when I am messaging women on these sites, there has been times I have mentioned sexual things when I have been horny, and sometimes there has been times these women actually reply to it, talking sexual back. So this sort of thing causes me extreme sexual arousal. I actually seem to find this more arousing than watching a recorded porn scene. When I am actually talking to a woman online who is talking sexual to me.

I think if I could use these sites as a dating site then yes they would be a great tool for meeting someone in real life. But I know I will always end up using them like a porn site. So this is why I avoid them.
