  The only way you can have a life in the truck biz is if you own your own truck and trailer and have a dedicated route that has you home at least every other night.
  Other than that, you’ll be a loner. I drove long haul at first for a few years until I bought my own truck. Then I got some dedicated routes near my house and it was much better, but after 5 years I got burned out and quit during the 2009 financial crash, which meant I would have had too quit anyways.

  Then i'm pretty boned. My teacher in Driving school already told me "You're mad, dumb or a masochist to be a self employed truck driver in this country". You will be eating shit a lot of the time in terms of taxes and regulations that a company doesn't.
  
  So yeah... Not happening. At least i'll take my stint in the bus biz as a learning experience. And also to toughen up

  The first thing a guy on the truck biz told me was "This is the perfect work as long as you come to terms with having no friends, no family nor wife".

  @KarlDahl @Morghur @WilhelmIII @s2208 @ACL9000 @JoshuaSlocum @Will2Power if you're not making a good amount of money then it seems like the negatives are more than the positives in your situation.

  In terms of Spain, i make decent money. A friend of mine who is an Engineer earns a bit more than me and as a truck driver i earned almost double what i earn now. Truck driving is less stressful, but more time consuming and tiresome. Plus, there is also the fact that you will be at home 1 day per week and it also means showering 1 day per week.
  
  Going back to driving trucks is my backup option. It's nifty, i'll get hired on the spot and i'll get loads of money despite the shitty conditions. And also the work colleagues that smoke, drink and fuck whores on the regular.

  @Morghur @Clapp @WilhelmIII @s2208 @ACL9000 @JoshuaSlocum @Will2Power Morghur, are Spanish buses still totally crazy with people interacting a lot (good-naturedly)? I once took a bus from Barcelona to Malaga and there were people having regional debates about who invented what. One woman claimed that the Catalan invented opera and burst into song (and had an amazing voice, received much applause)
  
  Guy I was sitting next to told me it happened all the time, but he and I were drinking, so I'm not sure if he was putting me on or my bad Spanish was the issue

  Dunno because i do local transport, not intercity or interregional transport. In a small town like this it's usually people going to a village in the middle of nowhere and the nearby hospital and the usual topics are market gossip, recent deaths, drug operations and how shitty work is.
  
  I tend to block all talk from people and focus on driving. In part to pay more attention to the road but mainly because i'm pissed and they don't pay me to socialize

  @Morghur @s2208 @WilhelmIII @ACL9000 @JoshuaSlocum @Will2Power and thus why you have none. Stop acting like you're defeated in life and start kicking fucking ass. If your goal is simply too pick up women then get off the internet and get into the gym. Sign up for some classes and get fucking shredded. Develop confidence and have at it. Having a losing attitude is one of the top three biggest turn offs to any woman, even a grotesque fat bitch would still not want to be around that. It's no different than the, " why aren't you talking, are you mad at me? " that shit will get you dumped faster than you can repeat it out loud.
  
  guest star is right, as usual, think of a plan think of a type and pursue that type. Do not be afraid of rejection and don't try again w the same once you are. If its a no move on to the next one, you'll find one that fits.
  
  please don't be defeated with it, the fact that you made it here says you're probably brighter and better than at least a third of the world population already LOL

  Well, there are a lot of pitfalls in the way that i cannot avoid because i'm a retard. And the fact that my working hours allow for nothing except eating and sleeping.
  
  It's a grueling uphill battle that i honestly think it's barely worth the effort, specially when i have to weed out all manner of unpleasantness in the process

  1. know your preferred type
  2. find out what they type of woman wants in a spouse
  3. make yourself that guy (on the dating app)
  
  then contact literally every woman within x mile radius who matches your preferred type
  
  I culled about 20,000 unsuitables when I was looking for her. I made 1,000 first contacts. had 100 good conversations. chose ten good candidates. went on five first dates.
  
  Granted, it happened incredibly fast for me, but this process will work for many people.

  @WilhelmIII @s2208 @ACL9000 @Will2Power I'm telling you, you need a funny cheesy pick up line or hey complimentary attitude to get you in the door. Most of the time they'll say yes just because they're impressed with your confidence in asking in the first place . It just might not go anywhere , or they might end up being fucking crazy just the same LMAO

  @ACL9000 @Clapp @WilhelmIII @s2208 @Will2Power i have no real information on what it's like out there for dudes right now, but from what i've seen it's a nightmare if you are just a regular dude
  online dating just seems like a bad idea from the jump
  regular dudes will treat it like it's Call of Duty and take it seriously, but the chicks will treat it like it's DoorDash
  your average woman is marinating in a stew of "i can have babies any time" and "all men will rape me", so cold approaches seem closer to navigating a minefield
  i dunno
  take up chess and go to chess club meetings and pick up an autistic chess chick? i got nothin

  @ACL9000 @WilhelmIII @s2208 @suquili I do, know a couple guys who used it but you're only gonna end up with women 1,000+ miles from you who probably every other guy on there is also talking to. Dating apps are always going to be shitty for men imo.

  @Will2Power @WilhelmIII @s2208 My family has never once even asked what the hell is my problem, let alone offer to introduce me to anyone. My friends once suggested the idea, but then just kind of forgot or something. That felt a little cruel. Workplace had potential one time, but she moved to Florida like a day after I suggested we go out?
  
  It's rough out there. I wasted seven years (am retart) chasing after a girl who almost certainly would have been my prearranged wife in a less-fucked era. She genuinely needed me, specifically, but television got there first. I could never outline the amount of effort I made...
  
  Now I don't know what to do. I'm not social the way you have to be. :peepoShrug:
  
  I'm fucked, boys.

  @ACL9000 @Will2Power @WilhelmIII @s2208 church? mom and pop local businesses. People hardly ever believe me but I tell you a good approach is just to walk right up to randoms at the store Etc That You Don't See wearing a wedding ring and just go for it. Get used to rejection and then it doesn't phase you any further

  @Will2Power @s2208 @suquili I only ever browse. I never match. The 1% of women on those things I find appealing are all very-obviously able to do better than this shit right here, and I don't like wasting people's time, or making myself known to new people for the sole purpose of becoming something they sneer at.

  @s2208 @suquili I match with women online and they respond initially but then almost always ghost. It's tiresome. Have a very small amount of free time to meet women in person and that hasn't turned out too well either, like ever woman is somehow taken already.

  there, that’s my uncomfortable truthful admission for the day
