Social environment and dating

Post Reply New Topic

The point I am trying to make with this post is to give a quick example and get people to focus more on where they are in life and if you keep attracting the "wrong" people then you might want to change your environment and that could open up the entire right group of people you have been searching for.

After clawing my way up to a point where I can put myself though college finally at age 25 I am pretty certain now that quite a bit of my issues with finding people I want to socialize with or women I am attracted to comes from where I was my adult life. I start college next month and I have not been this excited about something in years. I can't wait to meet people who are interested in my field and people who are serious about improving their life though getting better education and of course getting mine done and starting my life.

Short of the few exceptions most people are on the low end of society because they are unmotivated or just plain stupid and ignorant. I am so used to dealing with people who have no motivation and feel just fine being stagnant their entire lives I just would prefer to not interact with people around me.

While this has been a generalized issue towards my social life it has made it nearly impossible to want to start dating. Partially for feeling ashamed of where I am in life and not being attracted to unmotivated women.

Where you're taking classes might affect this. I go to a technical college, and a lot of people there are just looking to become employed in the future or remain employed by updating their knowledge of the subject. There's not a lot of passion or intellectual fascination with most of the subjects. Nice people who are definitely motivated, but not a lot in common with me beneath the surface.

Anyway, 'gratz on committing to an education.

Ya its a tech school. Not expecting the University college life but it will be great to be able to talk to people who have some idea of stuff I am interested in and more like me.

Thanks, Wafflemarine. That sounds like good advice.
