Modern Dating, what is it exactly men who aren't 8+ supposed to do? (Venting)

[KingAce]

Below average middle age guy... am I just meant to go die in a ditch? Tinder is a meat market for hook ups for the good looking, Legit dating sites are full of bots and only fans thots... so... what exactly am I supposed to do? hope I live long enough to see Blade runner and Joi become reality? super exciting I may one day get to buy a super expensive hologram that will tell me what I want to hear... Society really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. I hate this.

With the way you act no wonder no one wants to date you. You are to condescending to people. Not sure you are male or female but i will guess female with the avatar that seems very feminine.

Adjust your attitude and maybe you can get a date. Because with an attitude like that no one will want to be around you. So yea it's not them it's diffidently you.

Male, I made a joke using a Vtuber image and the Obama Hope thing, sorry that offended you.

Not offended at all it just makes you look like a female. Why should i be offended over a stupid obama joke i didn't vote for him or any one.

more important question, how old are you? you're the middle aged person asking kids for advice.

steam isnt a kids forum, so pound sand if you don't like it.

again, maybe it's you're hostile, toxic personality. I'm pretty sure that's why you're in the situation you're in.

My life hasnt been easy, I have no family, theyre all dead, i have no support system, sorry ive lashed out and been a prick at times, its hard.

I just miss people. I miss some of my exes, I miss my mom and pop... Im just lonely.

it is what it is. I guess It's what I deserve, thanks for any advice and sticking around.

i do feel you dude, but you gotta realize that any change you make is going to be slow. if you expect change to happen tomorrow, you're just gonna let yourself down.

Give us a break!

I skipped right to the last page and this sort of thing should be stickied. These problems were solved long ago.

There is no such thing as modern dating and modern women.

Assuming that the OP isn't trolling us, the name is"ForeverAlone", has a cartoon female as their image and they are repeating talk show talking points. Those alone will do it.

The obsession with texting, dating apps, and everything electronic will do it.

There are plenty of girls- and good ones- who want guys and will do whatever it takes to get one.

And many of these guys are not 7 feet tall, not rich, famous, driving fancy cars, especially good looking... and yet they have a girl on their arms.

All the guys need to do is break their own bad habits and observe what the guys who have it together have in common.

That's where the answers are.

Beyond that, I am not participating further in this one.

There is someone for you and there are people with much lower chances than you

Don't give up, the dating apps can be a pain in many ways but it can put lonely people together

Don't forget girls tend to get loads of likes and they don't know which ones are genuine or not.

I disagree. Things change.

[Apollo702]

This person is going on block.

This sort of thing cannot pollute the screen anymore.

[DoomsDay]

when I think about all my dating fails and all the frustration with it,
I think about the other guy, as long as he didn't have any of those, and kept them busy.

Life is about having it end when your time comes, and that's okay.

Brother try your luck meeting people. Online dating is a joke with AI tbh, but you whining about it does nothing. Improve your odds by trying IRL. Coffee? Tea? Library? Bar? Grocery store?

I've been going out of my way to talk to people lately, and I've made good connections. I can tell you're the type of person to get incredibly butt-hurt and petty when an interaction doesn't go your way- you have to ditch that mentality. Don't put pressure on you or the situation. Try and meet people. Everything else happens in time. Trying to expedite what you want will only lead to lacklustre experiences and pain

I'm only 30 years old (male) and I stopped caring about dating.

Sorry im not understanding too well, probably on me a lack of sleep and too much work.

maybe I was saying, that for each one of mine fails, someone made a family out from the woman, or at least had something nice and easy.
they were all busy at it.
when I have been busy too, at what is this? navigation with words in my head.

There are gay clubs that you can join that you don't have to drink at.

The pfp is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke, jesus christ. do i need to use the edgy emo pfp to be accepted around here,.

I've admitted Im not perfect, ive apologized to several people i dont get where the cant be me and petty is coming from.

im blaming a changing culture, not the internet, it was just a tool.

IVE BEEN CLEAR ABOUT THIS SINCE DAY 1, I DONT FIND THE CONCEPT OF REAL LIFE JOIS EXCITING, I FIND IT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DEPRESSING.

and what are reasonable expectations from online dating? I get ignored, theyre worthless apps.

confidence? yup got me there, but when you been rejected all your life and cheated on and hurt and lied to, its pretty easy to feel like you aint ♥♥♥♥.

Coffee? Tea? are you offering me a beverage, noone goes to those places to be creeped on, people go to the library to study, they go to coffee shops to get idk ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ coffee and maybe read, not be bothered, the grocery store, sure, ill hang around the produce, next to cucumbers, right?

as for the bar i been very clear i dont drink, so what am i meant to do at a bar but hide in the corner and maybe meet an alcoholic,

Apologies for sarcasm. would you like me to take things more seriously? I heard humor was a good thing, sorry if mines more nihilistic and sarcastic and you take me too seriously.

Yours just isn't funny and only comes off as trying way too hard. You can keep deflecting if you want, but I won't feed your pity or coddle you. You ought to realise that this is a self-inflicted problem for you sooner than later, if you'd like to achieve any semblance of happiness. You're already shutting things down when you clearly haven't tried them. Talking to people isn't creeping unless you make it creeping.
