The Need for Romantic Intimacy

Post Reply New Topic

Basically women DON'T need any dating app, Facebook/Social media is more than enough to get attention from males in a more controlled way, they just need to block the unwanted attention.

Thing is, everything had been tried FOR DECADES by people more expert than us in this. It is no secret anymore than even the most popular dating apps create fake female profiles to 'balance' the sex ratio artificially.

Let's ask YOU, have you even needed a "specialist dating app" in order to get mate? I bet not.

"Getting attention from males" and getting the kind of attention that is even remotely acceptable are two very different things. For example, most women are put off by attention that seems to be motivated either by desperation or purely by horniness.


Today's dating apps are a new phenomenon. Things were done differently in the past, with different results. What worked well in past eras might not work well today, and vice versa.

It's also clear that most of today's dating apps are NOT working well at all. Something needs to be done, by someone, to make things better in today's world.


When I was in my mid-twenties, one of my partners was someone I met via that era's nearest equivalent of a specialized dating app. I responded to a personal ad in the newsletter of an organization I was a member of. Indeed, this experience is one of the reasons why I think a specialized dating app might be a good idea, with better results for both women and men than today's mass-market dating apps.

Thanks again.

Do you have any ideas as to how I might be able to get some of my intimacy needs met very soon? They're causing a lot of distress at this point, and some of my coping mechanisms are counter-productive to some of my goals. Additionally, the lack of a means through which to satisfy those important needs stifles my motivation for pretty much everything else. After all, why does anything else I do matter when I'm ultimately going to be depressed, lonely and unfulfilled anyway?

I normally don't do this, but you walked into it, dude! When I was in your situation back at age 22, I solved it the quick and dirty way: I started diddling escorts. Now, in the US, they're illegal, so I had to learn a huge laundry list of tactics to dodge the police, as well as prove to those escorts that I'm not the police. (Funny enough, those escort experiences taught me to dodge the leftist narcs when I was violating the Biden-19 quarantines in 2020.)

I think escorts are legal in Australia. So... get on a website, send an email, call or text a number, or do whatever else Australian social norms dictate. Then enjoy your sexual afterglow.

I've gotten desperate enough to look into escorts, but they're unsustainably expensive, and ultimately not going to give me what I want. When I say intimacy, I don't really mean just sex, and the idea of paying hundreds of dollars for somebody to cuddle me just feels gross. A big part of the appeal for me is a genuine mutual desire to be intimate with each other, and that is lacking in an encounter with an escort. Knowing that somebody is just doing a job rather than enjoying being with me cheapens it so much that it's not worth it with the price tag.
