It is surely the shady online services, and sometimes even cutting out the shady middlemen to buy direct from shady Chinese suppliers. It's the only way to get retatrutide at the moment. For tirzepatide, online compunding pharmacies abound. I don't think most people prefer semaglutide when it has been outclassed by the reta and tirz.

I got off the fence thanks to posts like this praising GLPs. In particular, thank you @erwgv3g34 for your post on Cremieux Recueil.
I'm getting compounded tirzepatide shipped to me at the moment. What I really wanted was retatrutide, but I'm too scared to buy the peptides without an intermediary pharmacy verifying the quality. I expect reta to eventually be available to compunding pharmacies at some point, so I will stock up on reta then if tirz is no longer effective for me.
While waiting for Reta, I might try your trick of a month off and using Cagrilintide as an alternative. So many options these days.

I see. In my time, the girls who met me at a location instead of me picking them up weren't seriously interested in me. Things are different now I suppose. I feel that if the guy picks the girl up the start of the relationship it just feels more normal/correct, it's a sign of female interest and trust in the guy with her physical safety. How times change.
I was hoping @Skulldrinker would read my comment attached to yours. (Mild) autism in men is usually unappealing to women, so it takes a bit more effort to get in a long term relationship. After a long term relationship is established it isn't a detriment to the woman's satisfaction, so rather than giving up he should just keep trying.
Skulldrinker is a bit mentally damaged by his ideal woman who returned to her ex, but if he keeps at it he may find a better partner.
Specifically, I would reccommend changing his physical location to a different part of the country or another country altogether.
BYU is going to be a good choice for you. I'm going to add on a few things. If you have the funds for it, I think you should think about taking a light course load the first year and plan to graduate in 4.5 or 5 years. Although, freshman-level classes are typically very easy, so you might breeze through even with a lot of classes. You would use the extra time joining clubs and/or service organizations to network with more people. Try a lot of different groups and stick with the groups you enjoy the most. There will probably never be another period of your life that you will have social access to young, single, virginal, and upwardly mobile women in great quantity and concentration. Since you prefer slightly older women, consider taking more elective-classes like foreign language that students of all ages enroll in.

High school can be awful, I can't imagine a small town. Hopefully you visit all the colleges you might attend to get a feel of the campus. Based on your preferences, you should probably pick a US based college where you blend in. Maybe BYU?
You do seem a little high strung, though I remember feeling the same way at your age. I was never good looking and I'm 5'3", so I'm short. I did much better in college, there were simply way more women of a similar background and intelligence to meet. But I did badly at first with women, until I watched how my guy friends behaved around women, and took those lessons to heart.
You are the type of guy who would benefit from joining a frat, they would teach you through example of how to be more relaxed around women. I think you don't have the basic comfort level to merely be friends around women like @ser has suggested.

I'm uninformed about youths these days. How do young men pick up women and go on a date in non-urban areas if not with a car they drive? Call an uber for a multiple pickup? Maybe the uber driver is like a third wheel?

It probably is a net benefit at some point in time to insurers, if it isn't already true. Humans are only getting lower IQ in western countries, and smartphone distraction makes driving worse.
Self driving cars can get slowly better with time due to better AI or programming.

If anything self driving cars make suburban life more desirable as there is no need to personally drive a work commute.

Congrats! And doctors are like this because of the medical malpractice risk of not disclosing potentially important information to a patient. So they are incentivized to bring up every tiny risk.
Go get some sleep while you still can!

That felt bad, I had to skim to save my sanity. Meathook reality indeed.
By the way, why are there so many Japanese train enthusiasts (I assume?) watching these videos? Is it some kind of schadenfreude? Here I am sitting in my luxury class bullet train, thank goodness I don't live in the Congo?

What does the grim meathook reality in the third world refer to? By the way, great post, never thought about the food guys suicide like this.

If women have free choice, no encouragement is going to have 23W voluntarily dating or marrying 18M 99% of the time. The 18M are likely willing, but the 23W will have no interest in most 18M unless they are built like a greek god.

Knowing Mandarin, the pool of women you can date and marry opens up considerably. A useful advantage if you are otherwise mostly surrounded by feminist women.

The protected classes are a result of some combination of white guilt, egaltarianism, socialism, feminism, and christian gullibility.
Western cities are a lost cause at this point, unless there are drastic undemocratic changes which break the status quo.

Personally I enjoy travelling but dislike driving. I used to enjoy driving but my reaction speed is getting worse so it's more of a dangerous activity than an adventurous one.
2500 miles of driving sounds like a punishment to me, I'd rather lay down on the floor and sleep.

From Iran's POV, why should they make a deal now when a better deal might be offered later? There is every incentive to threaten and shoot ships for tolls until they can get nuclear deterrence, an isolated Israel, and war reparations.

Immigrants are primarily economic immigrants, and I would expect that people trying to establish themselves inna new country would try to veer as far away from politically sensitive topics as possible, unless they were promised economic gain.
Also with a regional TFR of ~1.08 Catalonia may find itself having drastic cultural change in short order, losing the impetus for independence.

~220K for custom construction? That actually sounds really cheap, are you in a LCOL area?
For me the world cup match is an automatic go-to if the cost is within budget and the family would likely enjoy it.
I also think coolness or uncoolness should have no bearing on your decision making, for like almost everything. Aspiring to coolness is an adolescent male's concern that he is respected by his peers and that he is appealing to single women of his preferred dating demographic. As a husband + dad, I hope that you soon come to realize that you no longer need the approval of your male peers, nor the attention of single women anymore. At least that's my perspective as a husband + dad.
You may have a different definition of coolness than me, because I don't consider having kids to be uncool. To me having kids is tangible proof of a man's virility and relative wealth, elevating him to a higher level of status beyond the coolness anxieties of single or childless men.
What is a loser, anyways? I define a loser as a male of low status who engages in low status activities. You have a wife and children, clearly you did something right at some point in time, assuming you sired the children. Many men aspire for a family and are not so fortunate as you.
I believe asking questions and seeking advice shows self-awareness, a willingness to be criticized by others, and a desire for self-improvement. These are not qualities of a loser.
Costco.com, Winix C909 air purifier. It comes with a 2-year supply of replacement filters, which is a better deal than can be found at Amazon. Depending on the size of your home, get multiple.
I bought 2 and some jackasses stole the extra filters and returned it to Costco, then Costco shipped it to me. Had to return it and get a replacement. It was easy to rebox though.
