I’ve always been fairly decent at pulling girls. Even from a young age. I lost my virginity at 13 years of age and I’ve fucked over 50 girls in the 9 years since, whilst being in 4 different ‘relationships’ for 5 years of that time.
-
My mother got sectioned when I was 7 years old for bipolar/depression/being the craziest woman on the planet. She tied me to a chair and put our border terrier in the oven and I watched it cook and scratch the oven door as she proceeded to try and hang her herself whilst my father was on tour in Iraq.
-
Subsequently 8 months later my father left my mother and took me with him and he found a new wife.
-
4 years later and my father goes on tour to Iraq again, this time I’m under the care of my step-mother who abused me, kicked me, called me names and treated me completely differently to the other kids (she had 3 girls, a set of twins 10 years younger than me and a girl 6 months older than me.)
-
She kicks me out of the house and I go to live with one of my friends foster dads. He groomed me for over 6 months to trust him enough to go and live with him, and he raped me over the course of a month, but at 11 years old he was like my dad and I trusted him and I knew it was wrong but I accepted it, some how, I don’t really know how, but I did and I had no one to turn to, as my mother’s side of the family had disowned me due to my mother’s situation with my father, and my fathers parents aren’t very close to him either.
-
When my father got back I moved in again like nothing had happened, my father knew I lived with the guy but he didn’t want marriage number 2 to fail.
-
After being exposed to what I had been exposed to, by the age of 11, my brain and my body had just gone completely numb. I could not feel anything anymore, I didn’t work properly anymore.
-
After things like that, I don’t know, your body and mind just begin to forget and you repair. It’s almost like I’ve watched it on tv and I can see it all happening so vividly in my mind but it’s okay now.
-
I didn’t tell the police until I was 18 years old, I got drunk one night with an ex girlfriend and a documentary about pedophiles came on the tv and I broke down and told her everything. She told me to tell my father and his new wife, my now current step mum. (The 2nd wife divorce raped him after 5 years and now he’s married a 3rd time, when will he learn)
-
I told them, one summers evening a few weeks after and that’s the only time I’ve ever seen my father cry, the pedophile got 18 years in prison (9 inside and 9 on licence) and a lifetime on the sex offenders register and he also raped 8 other boys from the ages of 9-14 between the period of 2006 (I was his first) and 2013.
-
Now, why is this all relevant, when the tile is Irrational Confidence? Because now as a 22 year old guy, I am honestly in a position where I have been through so much emotional hardship, that the person I am right now is so irrationally confident about everything because I know I can cope with anything.
-
Nothing scares me. I know I have the mental robustness to withstand anything anyone can say/do to me. Of course I am not indestructible and if I get stabbed, shot, run over by a car, that is unlucky. I’m talking about everything else.
-
And that is truly why I can fuck girls. I get told all the time that I am literally the most confident person they have ever met and it gets them wet. Coupled with the fact that over the past 10 months since finding this gem of a sub I am now in the best physical condition I have ever been in and I have learnt a lot more about game and building my kingdom.
-
I’m a Maths Teacher, I have a Mechanical Engineering degree and I’m 6ft 1. So that all helps me in the realms of I have a job, I got lucky in the gene pool and I’m intelligent. But apart from that, it’s all just irrational confidence. I’m talking literally not being scared of anything whatsoever.
-
So focus on yourself, believe in who you are and become irrationally confident about yourself and it will truly help you in all aspects of your life.

The two greatest forms of confidence are confidence that does not know what fear or consequences are
And confidence that has seen, survived and thrived with everything that heaven and hell can throw at it.

Very interesting post.
I feel we're opposites in some ways - I think by any standards I had a very stable childhood (parents still together and everything) and took a long time to come out of my shell.

whatifitsfun 7y ago
What makes people tell you that you're the most confident person they've ever met? What is it that makes you appear confident to people?
Ehhh..
1) Your confidence has a solid, multifaceted foundation (survived shit childhood, have a job, education, girls, etc). It's pretty rational.
2) Going through hell builds confidence.
So if someone wants to become as confident as you are, they would need to take on the biggest, baddest task and go all in, to the point of a mental breakdown and beyond.

I’m truly fearless of judgement in anything that I say. If I fancy somebody, I’m not worrying about their reaction, I just tell them. I’m a fun guy, I do fun things all the time that I want to do. Hey, I want to play the new COD WWII and drink whiskey, fuck yeah I’m gunna do it. I want to go and hike for 3 days and camp out and eat sausages, I’ll do that too. I want to go and talk to that girl near the bar because she reminds me of the crush I had on my babysitter, let’s go. If it doesn’t work out, doesn’t happen to often anymore, now I’ve learnt a lot on here, fuck it, on to the next one, she’s missing out.
I’m so over the thought of rejection, it’s not even bad and I’m so much more happy with the odd awkward situation that the feeling of fuck I should’ve approached.

It partly depends on how you frame it, and is also partly due to unknown factors. Some people are driven to become "survivors" and derive some satisfaction from it as a way of coping with the pain by repressing it etc. Others feel too deeply and are crushed.
plainposter 7y ago
it all depends on how you look at it. i thank my mother for being the craziest bitch on the planet because now i know when to dissociate from my emotions when people are being fucking retards. since my mother could never give me unconditional love, and probably saw us loving her as a weakness, i learned to turn my emotions off, which helps in dealing with people -- i can sort of manipulate people to my will now, and it's very relieving -- finally, knowing that i'm not at the mercy of some fucking retard and i can actually get my way in life.. so satisfying.

vengefully_yours 7y ago
I didn't get raped by a man, but had a similar life. Made me into a sociopath with ptsd, and other fun things. I went military and war felt like home.
I too have this confidence others find surreal, or inconceivable. The shit I've been through and not only survived and endured, but thrived and came out far stronger than most ever could be, has shown me that I can handle it. Whatever it is. After coming so close to death that you can smell it and you have to wash it off, girls are the least intimidating thing imaginable. They're playthings, fun adorable intelligent at times, but all toys. Death does not frighten me, people do not either, I'll do what I want and their input is not needed.
Abuse when we're kids either makes you into a monster of some sort, either the same that created you or something dark and lurking under the surface of a placid numbness, our it breaks you and you stay the victim for life.
I think you're the monster that has yet to come out. I know the thing inside me well, that fucker is nuts. Get to know yours, or you'll end up in prison when he comes out.

Jesus Christ man good for you. I'm absolutely not trying to compete with you in the Child Abuse Survivors Olympics, but I went through some pretty insane shit as a child due to a mother almost as crazy as yours, and I completely understand your "irrational confidence".

While it's happening you endure it because you don't know anything else. It's only later when you realize that most people don't grow up without people they can trust and count on, or without people trying to kill you, that you get pissed about it.

greenlittleman 7y ago
You can't know how would you react in his situation at his age. Kids still don't know "how world should function" and so they are much more adaptive compared to most adults. There is even some possibility OP's confidence goes from coping some of behaviour of his rapist and getting laid with this early on. I think most guys can get laid in their 12-14 if they really take initiative with the girls. And after that your confidence with them starts to building up naturally.
Snufek 7y ago
Yeah, could be this way. Also missing the window of opportunity that you mentioned, so not getting laid till your late teens/early 20s, could mean that you you have nothing to build on and thus the fear and anxiety which bring you further down.

Thanks for sharing your story man. I had a fucked up childhood too, maybe not as bad as yours but saw some shit and got molested and generally abused by a family member growing up too. My mom is also crazy bipolar and was such a bad drunk I thought I was gonna find her dead on the couch every time I came home from high school and work. She tried to kill herself one night and my grandma got the cops to lock her up for her own safety.
I get what you're saying by not fearing anything anymore. Personally for me this lead to hanging on the wrong side of the tracks where I started to do lots of criminal shit as a teenager. I've been arrested 5 times for different stuff from general vandalism to drinking in public to fighting.
I think our childhood impact can lead to very risk taking behaviors. I'm older now and luckily never had to do a bid in jail past just spending the night in a cell and getting dragged through court. But as I matured, I realized there was some "toxic" behaviors I needed to fix. I think it's important we stay wary of that impulsivity and don't let it get the best of us. It's hard to give a fuck about getting locked up when you've seen some dark shit and been to dark places but it's also important to maintain your freedom for your own good.
Thanks again for sharing.

Oh I believe him.
I also believe that he is no way healed and that his IDGAF attitude which probably works wonders with women is because his soul is irreparably damaged.
I am very, very sure that anyone who goes through something like that is by no means "ok" at the tender age of 22, I do believe however that the "machiavellian" machinations of todays tinderellas have no effect on him whatsoever.
I wonder what that says about todays society, where severe childhood trauma makes you, um, "romantically" succesful.

No wonder you get so much pussy. Girls love that story of struggle and hardship. Not to mention the dog??! Those girls must be putty in your hand once you tell them about that
_PM_ME_YOUR_GOALS_ 7y ago
No, they don't. And OP doesn't talk about these things either -- you'll notice that the first mention of any of these hardships was a fluke where the OP broke down during a documentary. I strongly suspect they keep it buried because that is what is best for them as far as women are concerned. There is nothing wrong with therapy, but don't place the burden on your prospective dates. Not only are thots beyond unqualified to give you life advice, but there is no quicker way to destroy your frame.
This is the BP version of game that many people follow before finding this sub. I did it, you did it, many other people here have done it but have since learned there is a better way. BP game only yields BB relationships with very insecure girls. Even if you're in the market for a LTR, you don't want to start off like this.
This story contains a lot of shocking events that would force a person to either grow and adapt or curl up in a ball and die.
If I had the mental clarity, I would vent that anger and frustration to a healthy outlet, like the gym. I would sever all ties to the family members who are fucked up in the head and I'd do everything in my power to ensure I don't end up like them.
I'd hope I could learn from it. Figure out where my mother snapped, or where my uncle became corrupted. And then, get this: avoid that shit.
I suspect there is a long line of sexual abuse in OP's family. Sexual abusers tend to be those who have been sexually abused themselves.
Maybe this post is OP's way of venting.
I'd hope I would consider therapy.
[deleted] 7y ago
Yea I see what you mean. I’m also noting however how he ends it by saying he’s “not afraid of anything”, in my opinion this sounds like a success story more than a vent or something for therapy. It looks more like the outcome of therapy

Its funny how one can grow numb to everything after so much shit. My childhood was interesting but nowhere at your level. Ive just lost literally everything recently yet it doesnt phase me at all.

I do commend you on how well youve pushed yourself forward in life. I wish nothing but the best from here on out

Morphs_ 7y ago
Interesting post. It goes to show that even the most horrible experiences can grant you something useful in the long run. It's great that you recognize this strength. Applauding to you sir.
Meanwhile, my upbringing was pretty much effortless with virtually no trauma. So what did that result in? I grew up as a socially scared guy, scared of most people. Scared to get into fights. Fleeing rather than fighting. Hooked on porn. It resulted in some real social fears. With regards to other men I have trouble urinating in public urinals and towards women I have performance anxiety and trouble getting an erection when in bed with a new woman.
Of course comparing our stories is an apples and pears thing, but in a general sense it shows that overcoming hardship can result in tremendous strength, while the lack of hardship can lead to weakness and fear.

You are very strong person mentally, but do you think at any time you formed habits or coping mechanisms that were negative? Did you ever go after girls purely for pleasure and not the real connection, just straight sex because sex feels good and in your mind you wanted to feel good? Just curious. Thanks
Burt3d 7y ago
I’ve always used girls for pleasure really, even emotional pleasure. I don’t need girls, nor want them. I definitely use girls, but not in a bad way. I’m always clear that I do not want an emotional connection with any of them, but I fancy them sure and sex is a great thing. If you’re looking for someone serious I’m not your guy, fuck I’ll even help you find him, but I’m the right guy in the mean time.

I do not believe that just focusing on yourself will bring this self-confidence you talk about.
One must actually put oneself through as much hardship as possible to get there. No book can simulate the pain your brain went through as you were raped. No amount of meditation will teach anyone the testicular fortitude you gained by repairing yourself from such damage.
If you want to be strong, put yourself under as much stress as you can handle (way more than what you think you can handle).

In the UK thats entirely plausible. Standard BEng takes 3 years and a PGCE teaching cert is a year. If you started uni at 18 that'd make you 22.

LongSchlongAIDS 7y ago
That’s strange, in the US you have to have a masters to teach at public schools and most (if not all) professors have PhDs. Assuming you are a freshman in college at the age of 18 like most college students you would have an undergraduate degree at the age of 22 and then a masters would take at a minimum one year of study but it’s more commonly two years so 23-24 years old once a masters is completed. So I don’t know how he completed mechanical engineering and was able to qualify as a teacher at such a young age.
dpaul1997 7y ago
I'm pretty sure that it's not legally required to have a masters to teach in public school
LongSchlongAIDS 7y ago
I guess I’m partially wrong. There’s recently been a shortage of teachers in the economy so some states removed the masters requirement but, it isn’t uncommon for the state to have you complete a masters while teaching within the first five years after obtaining a bachelors.
I had the perception that all teachers had to complete a masters cause growing up I remember all my teachers having done so.
dpaul1997 7y ago
It's reasonable, and would be ideal. But I had some teachers in high school that I thought should still be there finishing up their classes.

Therapy is near useless for he and I. Especially the feminine centric shit they do.

Realize that you can end them easily, and all that shit fades. Fucked me up for 30 years, trying to fit in with the rest of you. I don't try anymore, I am who I am and don't give a fuck what you think.

Besides, most guys here are beta or recovering betas. Acting like a “bad motherfucker” is posturing and most people see right through it.

Psshtatay 7y ago
What was your issue and how did therapy help?
Skayruss 7y ago
I’m an emotional and expressive dude. I break “traditional roles.” Very empathetic, long distance planning and foresight rather than acting in the moment.
I needed a therapist to tell me that it’s okay to stop repressing emotions. Now I realize that it’s okay to be expressive and people arguably like me better for being my aggressive yet empathetic self.
Traditionalism is cancer, especially to more intuitive as well as more empathetic men. Times are changing, and you best get with the program.
This isn’t a “just be yourself” post, but we shame men for having emotions and expect a silent, douchey, stoic exterior. Embrace both aspects of yourself and consider it yin and yang. That is the lesson I learned from my therapist, which also set some of my existential questions to rest.

This...this post is possibly one of the best I have ever seen. Honestly, im amazed you had the mental strength to go through that. I have a question or two for you tho:
1- I get that you need confidence. However, how should I stop myself from, instead saying something that sounds confident, something that is actually horrible or too far.
2- What does an interaction of confidence look like for you? I dont really have any frame of reference for that. How would you speak and act?
Burt3d 7y ago
If you do, never apologise and role with it. It’s who you and are people just accept it if you’re unapologetic about it. And I just say everything I want to say. I am very self deprecating in my comedy and I’m fearless in response to anything I get.

Yeah it would be interesting to see your scores on dark triad test given your past and your sense of confidence. Here's a link to one of those tests: https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/SD3/

Are you sure it's confidence or it's just that you don't fear much, given all the emotional trauma? Empty inside at times? I can relate a bit because I often I feel empty and non emotional. I also don't have a lot of stress for many things. When I do get stressed or angry, it's because I did something that angers my own ego.
If your story is true, I'm truly story. Let's be better than the last generation!

Black guys are kings of irrational confidence. They have nothing to be proud of and women do not want the, yet they continuously embarrass themselves. There is a limit to confidence and deserved confidence.

Wow dude, lot's of respect what you've been through and how you coped with it! Also in case you did not recieve complete healing, I wish that you do so, but I'm sure you'll handle that too! Forgiveness might be really important here, be blessed!

thanks OP, youve got some big stones to put this out there. women are fun playing; humans are crappy. in general, whatever success and progress you can gain is more than hard earned. while I didnt endure the experiences you have, you're a wiser man than I , to address this , and to seek communication, and relation, as young as you have. two steps forward, three steps back, is a common plight for survivors. I recently read something, "Nation" by terry brooks. Men help other men. is the message. some people can't live it down. you're the type that's figured out how to "live Above it". solid post. be well, my brutha

I would have likely killed him and then killed myself.
I lost my mum last year, and I found it astonishing that I managed to pull through without topping myself. I don't think we understand just how resilient we can be. Even that is incomparable to the kind of suffering you've managed to overcome... truly, incredible.
Have you thought about getting involved with abused children? Sounds like an ideal mission (if you don't have one).

whatever happened to your mom?

She lives in monitored accommodation, is morbidly obese and has a pet chihuahua. I’m not making this up.

I can't grasp why your dad chose her...????

Has it never occurred to you that women may want just sexual pleasure too?

Rather you've never actually pleased one :3

This sub just helps men bring women down from the pedestals on which men themselves have placed women. If anything, this sub makes us view women as humans rather than the Princesses or Goddesses we used to make them out to be.
And no one's 'taking advantage' of women. We work on ourselves, make ourselves attractive and women who find us attractive have sex with us. I really don't see the 'taking advantage' part of it.

Is it bad to fuck girls?
What makes you think that? That's not true, and this sub helped me find more respect for women.
So, you're saying he's having sex in the name of vengeance! But that would only be true if he was a rapist...

As long as its consensual how is he taking advantage of them?

Too long. Don't give a fuck.
