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.

u know, there are dating apps for older ppl like yourself? tinder is more for younger ppl with lower hit chance

just avoid the free dating sites because literal murderers troll on those. I just watched a vid on youtube about a guy who went on Plenty of Fish and was murdered. Just a word of advice, if you go on a date, make sure it's in a public place and she doesn't see where you park your car.

Sad to hear that, humans are humans. For better or for worse one has to remain skeptical and act accordingly, like the old adage "hope for the best, prepare for the worst".

I'm sure eharmony or the paid ones are safer but whenever i hear horror stories, it's always on "Plenty of Fish". And I don't mean to discourage the OP, just be really cautious and look for red flags such as they refuse to talk on the phone (after corresponding for awhile) or they ask to meet at their house or somewhere private. I mean 99.0% it's safe but just be aware of your surroundings.

not be a doomer and act normal uwu

What if everybody in your society is doing things wrong?

Besides, if I act normal, then I will get a normal, boring, woman that I'll tire of quicker than even a chatbot.

if she mentions anime is interesting to her, then bring it up but never make the first move on that.

A quick glance through this thread and honestly:
You are just not in a mental position for dating right now. If you do get with anyone you will probably hurt them and scare them away.

A little blunt, and not what you want to hear, but it's how I see it.

Focus on yourself first, at the end of the day being in a relationship is of minimal importance. Keeping yourself strong (mentally) on the other hand is much more important.

Focus on yourself, don't focus on others, at least for now.

Relationships can come later, when you're ready. As it is now, most women will see you as blaming them and the world for your problems, and that's going to just push them away which will make you feel worse.

Yeah, I skimmed this thread earlier and came to a similar conclusion.

OP, women want humor, confidence, and money/vision. You seem like a nice guy but your jaded take on dating is going to hurt you. There is nothing confident or funny about blaming the game.

You said you're fat with a receding hairline. Hit the gym and cut your hair short. Get your bod tight.

Then stay positive and up your connections via the best dating sites. There are women out there that want a relationship. Just gotta keep looking.

[Punished Rusty Shackleford]

I went on a date once, i thought I was doing horribly so I just started having my own fun and just talked about whatever and it somehow ended in a relationship.

also, avoid AXE Body Spray. You might as well tell her you're a serial killer.

Sounds like that dude who complained about girls not wanting him until he shot up a school

[Ray Rook]

Lower your standards. Cry about how bad the "not cream of the crop" are and how many of other people's kids you'll have to raise. Realize that the nuclear family wasn't so bad after all. Also realize that Europe's complaining about the US being too prude is stupid. We should be a more prude society.

Go do more and get outside more. Meet people. If you're at home and jobless, why would you expect to meet people?

[Adversary]

I'm probably one to talk since I'm liable to die alone and with the only time I have ever had sex being when my father raped me. But I'll just parrot some good advice I've been given by a spicy cat from Boston. Paraphrasing it while doing so, of course.

One, yeah dating is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scary. Doesn't mean you should just give up. That's what the people making ♥♥♥♥ scary want you to do.

Two, if you've got a history of picking the wrong person, then the solution is actually to pick better. Which is to say, learn from your mistakes. Figure out what kind of people you should not get involved with or what situations you shouldn't put yourself in. Use that information to make better choices in the future.

Three, work on yourself. Become a better you so that you're more marketable. Granted, this is just general advice writ large.

Four, eat more magnesium. You'll probably figure out why.

Anyways I'm finna gonna go touch grass because hey, you won't meet people being inside all day. Granted, the only thing I'm probably going to meet today is a headache and sinus pain.

So in other words, a typical Thursday.
