    Hey everyone, I've been attempting quitting PMO for six months now. I've finally quit PMO completely, but still am in middle of my reboot (day 35). Problem is I'm horny and desperate for female attention. I focus on myself, work, eat healthy, work out almost daily, etc. But I find myself more desperate than ever for female companionship. I went on a few dates recently, but they've all been meh and don't seem like they're going anywhere. I'm spending way too much time on dating apps right now, I'm on 8 apps total at the moment and spending at least 2-3 hours a day between them. I thought that the more time I went retaining, the less I'd care about women, but the opposite is true, I'd literally take anything I can get at this point. It's almost an obsession, idk what to do...

    Hey, first of all, congratulations on that streak.

    I would suggest that maybe it is a good idea for you to avoid dating apps altogether if you are finding yourself in this situation. Perhaps all those apps are leading you to some kind of triggering (2/3 hours of triggers everyday might not be the best for your reboot).

    How long have you managed to stay clean? You seem to be doing fine in terms of habits (work, eat, workouts...), are you feeling okay in this process or do you have any lingering anxiety/sadness?

    Maybe you replaced porn with this app. Maybe you want to replace also porn with another woman.
    Maybe 30 days are not enough for you to change your brain and you are still looking for porn/sex.. etc.

    Id recomend you to really commit to nofap.. maybe 60 or 90 hard mode and use those extra 2..3 hours in something more productive. Stop thinking about woman for a few month and then try again with online apps.. or maybe avoid them and look for woman in real life.

    I am the same. Those things can be addictive. I think as well, unless you look like a model, guys go through a lot of rejection. I feel like my soul is being hollowed out by dating apps. Still I keep going back for more
