Does that mean you want dating sites full of low-standard, ugly people, Sly?

yes. ugly to society people. I don't find most women ugly even though they think they are and people say they are. I find them gorgeous.

low standard as in not ambitious climb the company ladder. dating sites use to be for aspies and inverts. now its used by extroverts and social people. who frankly see the rest of us as losers.

No, the problem is that everyone has some standards. It's good overall because you don't want to be in a relationship with a person who doesn't like you but couldn't find anyone better. Unfortunately, it means that some are permanently undateable.

Maybe. I'm happy to just find someone real at this point. Content with themselves. Competition creates a lot of losers, so I avoid that.

why not, it would be happy for a while, some happiness is better then a life devoid of happiness.

The only way to avoid competition is to accept defeat in advance.

Actually the past month iv'e been getting on dating sites.

I tried Tinder and talking to some of my matches but because i'm the shittiest conversationalist with women in the whole god damn world, it never gets anywhere.

Like some girl asked me what kind of music I like? I replied with "I like bluegrass screamo. Basically they play bluegrass but they only scream. It has always been my dream to form a bluegrass screamo band" She never replied back...

And I started a conversation with a girl saying "What's your favorite pokemon? Mine is Charizard" She said hers was pikachu. I replied with pikachu sucks, he's in the NU tier, his defensive stats are low and he is outclassed by other electric types. She never replied back...



Looks like i'm going to be single till i'm 25. I'm the shittiest conversationalist with women ever.

No, you also could find a niche where there's no competition.

If he's going to be single only till 25, I'd have gladly traded identities with him.

true. I've been single my whole life and I don't have much left, seems unlikely I'' not be single for the reaming little time left.

I do think we need to cut down the male population in the us. there's too many males.
