I’m almost 40 and terrified of swimming, I can’t get my head under the water.

It always bothers me when I see flooding videos or scenes where a car goes off-road into a lake and they have to swim out.

I feel it’s far too late to learn, as it’s so much to de-program out of my DNA at this point. Not being near water is the best option (and wearing a life jacket when near it) seems sufficient for a person like me, but I always wish I could get the fear conquered. What would be your opinion on this?

I think I’ve had a cycle that’s lifelong:

A: Routinely slap the junk before bedtime. B:Have a productive day

Sounds good, but I feel my instincts to pick up/pursue women falter from having my libido in check. I have a girl ask me what I’m doing this weekend, and I simply reply: “Not much, just going to relax”.

So she is slightly rejected, and I realize later on that I had an easy opening to get a phone number. Thoughts?

I live in the US, but I will look into it. Thanks!
