Online dating

Aurelian

my friends call me "Cunty"
The problem with online dating is that you probably have to be pickier than you'd care to admit. It's easy to swipe right on everyone who looks vaguely attractive and is kinda aligned with your interests... it's harder to wait for someone who looks like they'll really, truly click with you (and of course, that's still not guaranteed to suceed).

I actually did meet my girlfriend on a dating app, and we're in a deepening long-term relationship we're happy with. But there's a little bit of luck and a lot of patience involved, and I won't deny there were a lot of ineffective first dates and chats before we met.

it's luck no matter what, just keep swiping and fucking everyone until you wanna be with that person longer term

or go to church and find yourself a submissive stark in the streets, freak in the sheets

If OP is asian, I hope he's not dealing wih the kind of asian girl type who only date white guy.

Also, Yellow Fever is not a thing. White fever is.

White guys who go after Asian girl have usually no problem dating White girl or even Latina. Asian Girls are usually rather obsessed about dating white men and usually openly dismisses and diss their own men on the regular.

I will say its def true for Pinay's. Girls from the Phillipenes love white dudes.

by the time an asian girl gets to their 30's and all used up by white dudes, only then do they start to date asian guys.

Then when they notice asian dudes have little dicks that can't compete with Western dicks they never go back to asian guys :3

It was just a picture of the bottom of her bed. I'll have a rummage through my phone an see if I can dig it up. :messenger_tears_of_joy:
I thought she had drawn these demons and sent the pictures to you, not that she had photographed the room to show you stuff that isn't there. 🤣
Did she do drugs?

Tried Okcupid, I also tried plenty of fish but it's fucking trash.

Deleted my POF account today, that site is a bot inferno. Good on you.

I even decided to check its review online. Gahdam.

Become an e-boy in Tick tock and all your troubles are answered.

Otherwise go outside and talk to people.

You already lost kid, unless you are 6’5 and have a 100 million under your belt online dating isn’t for you.

And that’s a good thing.
I'm 6'5" whoop whoop. But I'm broke😢. But I've got tinder and OkCupid. That doesn't look like either of them. I just want to know which app it is.

It's a conspiracy I tells ya!!!
No, I'm stuck in some Silent Hill esque limbo where every chick is a copy and paste normie, Yea that's it.
It's been a month, I'm running dry.
No T.V. and no sex make Fret Runner Something Something.

I’m only 5’9” on a good day, didn’t have a problem getting dates online. Yes I’m rich, incredibly good looking and talented but I didn’t let my height discourage me.

use paid dating sites local to your area is my advice.

@Online daters, you might wanna try something else than tinder for something serious, switched from tinder to hinge, less attractive to unattractive girl ratio in general i'd say sorry, but the matches I made there were always more interesting than tinder ones, I also find myself not playing the numbers on Hinge, which i kind of find better.

Hit me up for a paid sponsorship anytime hinge
 

Rest

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
In my boredom I logged onto OKCupid in the first time in... A very long time.

How does this introductions thing work? Is it sent like a message? Or does it show up on your profile as if it were the first segment?

It really seems like they tried to break the site instead of fixing the problem with too many messages going out. It couldn't have been that hard to filter out crappy messages, and lower the priority of people who chronically send out bad ones.

You can only see who "likes" you if you spend money on the upgrade. Most women don't even pay for the upgrade so they can't see who likes em. However if you both "like" each other it's supposedly supposed to put those matches on top of the "like" sub category. I've never seen this happen though. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Basically it's just DM people and hope for the best.

Online dating is great. Video chat the first few times to weed out the crazes/confirm appearance. Pay attention to the shoulders, neck, and face to see if their weight matches their "best" pics.
If they refuse video chat for any reason after the first week of talking, delete, block and remove from your memory forever. Fraud or something to hide. Move on. That's my experience after hundreds of dates.

Yup, and leave if she says she loves you after the 2nd date.

These are some of the ways people are encouraged to meet new people in a large city such as London:

Despite not being religious, I think I would rather join a church than consider any of the options in the link.
There is just something empty and depressing about the secular ways of meeting people.

Wouldn't read too much into that as it's a company promoting co-living spaces, which are glorified air bnbs for rich people (£130 a night!).

Meetup is decent in London imho. One of its better features.

If you're an anti-social introvert like me... meetups are a waste of time.

I tried them for a while, I really did. Then I made the mistake of asking out the most popular girl in the group.

I'm not having any luck with online dating so far, but I still prefer it to the meetups.
 
Why was that a mistake? You make it sound like high school but provide no details...
Lol. Nope... sadly, this was in my mid-20s.

I got rejected in a pretty humiliating way and tried going back to the events after that, but it was too awkward. I know it's silly but, there it is.

I got fed up with forcing myself to do the meetups and wasn't getting much out of them.

That's just me, though.

The co-living stuff is one of the options. The rest are standard predictable suggestions for meeting new people.

Online dating is a type of cancer. Especially if you're a man because it reinforces the worst insecurities and beliefs you have about yourself.

If you think about it from a womans perspective they have access to a parade of 6ft tall or higher guys who are in fantastic shape and have strong wallets. Why should they settle for an average guy when they seemingly keep offered numerous specimens of raw masculinity? They're spoiled for choice so if you want to stand out you've got to portray a version of yourself that's larger than life.

Your most impressive vacation photos
You wearing your most expensive clothing
You in a group of people at what looks like an exclusive gathering of great looking people
You wearing something that shows off your physique, but not in an arrogant way--so something like a photo of you at the beach holding a frisbee and grinning ear to ear.

And if a woman mentions in her profile that she loves dogs and you better have one, think about how much money you actually have to be able to make to keep a pet in the city. Most apartments dont allow them and the ones that do charge much higher rent. Not to mention the cost of keeping your pooch happy.

I was on that rollercoaster for a while but I got off after realizing how so many of the people i was talking to were nothing special and brought nothing interesting to the table. These days I'm taking a break from that shit and trying to meet people exclusively in person. Harder to hide shit when you're face to face.
