Online dating is pointless as a guy

Post Reply New Topic

Guys are more tolerant of women than women are of men, I think there are probably far more guys that don't care or even would see spectrum traits as a positive than vice versa for sure. Being attractive as a guy entails being able to 'provide & protect' so a job, car, social network, et cetera are heavily factored in whereas to be attractive as a woman is really pretty straight forward. Guys have a lot to work on with themselves, it's not as simple as hitting the gym and learning to smile. Not fair but that is the natural inequity between the sexes, biology and gender roles are not changing.

While I understand your point, the Tinder statistics (by lack of a better metric for this) do show that men swipe right 48 percent of the time while women only do this 14 percent of the time. While it might not be the best metric, it does seem to indicate that women (on Tinder atleast) are much pickier than men.

Men probably just overlook the fatties or women with high maintenance profiles who seem up themselves.

Women will eliminate guys for more asinine reasons.

I saw this firsthand when I was out with a group and one of the women had Tinder out. The reasons she had for rejecting guys was absolutely ludicrous, mostly based on wild assumptions she made based on his profile. Plays hockey? He's a crazy jock. A little short? Not interested. No full body shots? He must be hiding something. Yes, this is literally things she said: she might have averaged 3 seconds per profile. I had to resist the urge to yell out "do you not see why you are constantly single?" She has rejected so many high quality guys I lost count, all because online dating gives her an inflated ego.

I honestly wish more men would tell these spoiled, egotistical, entitled princesses to %$# off. I could not believe the arrogance of some women's profiles: they literally had nothing to offer and expected the world. The men's profiles might be poor too but at least they don't make statements like "if you want to date me you'd better step up your game".

In hindsight I wish I walked out on more than one first date with the comment "call me when you are ready to be an adult" as they are in short supply on dating sites.

Better watch out or yiu be called a liar or sexist pig. Women are perfect everyone knows that.

The woman GHF described seems to be "nutty" in many ways. I wouldn't use her as a "model" woman.

Like GHF says, maybe this woman is single for a good reason.

I agree, guys have less luck unless they can make themselves stand out. If I was a guy I wouldn’t bother. I’d get some hobbies and find some meet ups.

You should use forums and Facebook groups. People see the real you with less emphasis on photos and “hi how are you” *silence*.

Like I’ve said here, you get plenty of attention from women here. It might be for the wrong reasons at times, but it’s something. For example if there was a WP meetup I’d have a drink with you, and I’m the most annoying, hard to converse with on dating sites person of them all.

A WP meetup would be a terrifying nightmare.

*shivers*

I pass.

Ya'know I don't think any of these things on love and dating are the problem. What really is the problem is the damn pressure to rush a date with two strangers to win a title. All of those other problems can be fixed easily by not listening to the annoying supporters outside of this forum telling you to do something you don't feel comfortable doing. Is there a law that if you don't get a date as soon as possible you are to be in the electric chair? Seriously, easy solution, don't listen to strangers telling you who you should date. If you don't feel comfortable with the person at all then the relationship won't be comfortable.

^ No, there's no such law - but humans are not immortals you know.

There's nobody telling me what to do. I'm annoying with a purpose. I intend to try to be with someone. Cuddling is not something guys are permitted to do. Also hugging, kissing sharing secrets. Can't do that with just a friend. It's off limits. It's not even just that. What I would do to be able to work and agree together with someone. Or have one person do one thing while the other does something else. There's a lot more... I just want something like that without the biased neurotypical outlook. Online dating is useful. I cannot fully form thoughts the same.

Most of the single women are that way. If they weren’t they’d be in a relationship but they so picky so they remain single. The ones who aren’t mostly got together got married and have a family now.

In my observation, women who remain single for so long are either single by choice or they're seeking for something extremely extremely rare thing in a guy, and refuse even to consider any other who doesn't have this one thing.

You confuse me.your mean to me then sort of nice 0.o

I’ve been told Facebook isn’t for dating, but if it was it’s similar to dating sites, it has a profile picture which is first people see. My profile is empty with some gun rights posts.
Only forums I’m on are here, Shave forum and game clans forum both which are all male.

Women give me attention here? O.o
Why would yiu have a drink with me <o.o^

sigh...

Sigh....sigh indeed.
