Was watching this:




My own experience, I've kinda checked out from dating for a few years now. Dated a bunch of nice ladies, younger, older, skinny, fat, whatever.
But in the end... meh they sorta bore me. But enough about me.

Now with Tinder and such (and covid), it looks like there are basically 2 schools:

- no contact with the other sex, instead lose yourself in porn and vidya
- absolute turbosluts, have tons of meaningless encounters

I'm pretty sure both versions are very unhealthy for society, and for the people involved.

So now we've had almost a year of covid, things are in lockdown everywhere, people are not meeting eachother in the classic ways (bars, etc).

I don't see how there can be sturdy new relationships arising in this climate. Am I wrong here? What are your experiences.

[Majmun]

I sometimes miss dating. In the past six years I’ve been single for only month.

And now with covid and both of us working from home, I’ve never missed being single as much as I do now.

Disagree with one minor point: "Turbosluts" an thier miryiad of meaningless encounters are the grease that keeps society running like a well oiled machine.

Could you imagine the sexual frustration being displayed on top of the current divisevness and nastiness between strangers in society without these noble harlets spreading thier joy and clap?

Lol, fair enough.

But it cannot be good for the mental state of the average woman to be repeatedly pumped and dumped. For men, pump and dump is basically optimal strategy.

I found this: https://incels.wiki/w/FaceandLMS
LMS = Looks, Money, Status.

Well yes, that is what biology would cause women to go for. It should motivate men to become better. Complaining about this is like pissing in the wind.

Apparently it's all about jawlines.

That whole channel is a fucking riot. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCauYZm2lm1MufqCN9zIrXyA/videos

Why do you guys do this to yourselves? Seek out Youtube channels that tell you there's no point to trying as some kind of validation that it's not you that's the problem but "Society"and "Women".

If the problem is society, women or their jawline then they can convince themselves that their lack of success with women isn’t something they could work on and improve.

Human behaviour is determined by the environment, not by genes. Beauty ideals have changed every century and they will keep changing until the end of time.

I thank God everyday I no longer date. I got married to a beautiful, traditional, cooperative and submissive woman. I now get to ignore all other women for the most part and treat them like men when I do have to interact with them. As opposed to a potential mate.

I would say over 90% of women these are unmarriageable.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Choice is apart of dating, maybe wait for the perfect matchup

You don't catch perfect without leveing up your dating XP. That's how you learn to avoid the red flags.

 

[SpartanN92]

Married a good, hot woman, she’s wonderful and I wouldn’t change what we have... but there are times where I miss the chase.

 

[008]

I’m trying to get this young Russian to come over. Love the chase!

 

[NeoGiffer]

Are you dating?

 

[Sidney Prescott]

I haven't dated since College. It's been a while.

 

[008]

And lastly. The key with dating? Do not get hung up on one woman.

 

[OneBigPuss]

I will if you buy me a drink stranger .

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Obligatory


If I wasn't with someone I doubt I'd be dating. I have no patience for that anymore.

Incels are more focused on how attractive other males are than most women are. Admittedly, I haven't dated much and only had one long relationship, but I've never been the peak of male physicality and I got good-looking women interested in me, definitely 7/10-8/10.

Of course, a couple of them were a little crazy, but I liked that just fine. They never got crazy with me anyway.

I guess people (women as much as men) don't like the smell of desperation. It's just not sexy.

As for the question, fortunately I don't have to date anymore because I have my wonderful husband but I miss drunk soulless weekend sex with strangers from time to time. Well, can't have it all .

The amount of dudes here that jizz themselves over whats-his-name Superman building a PC was alarming. Real reddit moment.

Dating can suck if you don't know what you want or are looking for. I'm in a stable relationship now and there's plenty to do while stuck inside during covid.. but as someone in their 30s, going back to dating would be interesting.

 

[Amory]

Married. Dating level 100

Hometown advantage if you learned about dating before the apps. You've got a generation now that ONLY knows dating through apps but they didn't build up the real world skills.

Cry about not getting any matches? Try taking (Mostly) polite Rejection RIGHT IN THE FACE! Character building stuff.

[teezzy]

dating during a pandemic? lol no

 

[OnionSnake]

No kidding, this years been shit for hooking up or even just meeting new people

 

[Rentahamster]

It's been difficult due to the 'rona but definitely possible. Thank the gods for text messaging and emoji.

By "the gods" I mean AL Gore and the Japanese.

 

[digital_ghost]

I'm currently dating this beauty:

 

[levyjl1988]

I have a pillow.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Married my best friend. It’s pretty chill tbh ngl.

 

[haxan7]

Been back with my ex about a month. On and off over 3 years with her.

Dating sucks ass and I always end up back with her anyway.

 

[The Hamburglar]

Back to dating . Broke up with my long term gf recently.

I’m currently talking to some foreign girls off tinder. Anyone else read foreign peoples messages in an accent, especially if some of their sentences are grammatically incorrect? I don’t mean out loud, but in your head.

Just wait until they try to talk dirty and it's low-key hilarious but you have to keep a straight face so they don't call it off

P.s. stop stealing hamburgers

Oh you!

 

[p_xavier]

Nope.

 

[ROMhack]

Nah. I've always tended to meet women IRL and prefer that so this year has obviously been a problem. I'm not interested in online dating (for reasons you sum up well).

 

[supernova8]

Oh yes this is me. Cabin fever. Feels like I'm married without even being married.

One of them is Thai, so I can imagine it now .

Might have to change my diet from burgers to fish.

 

[supernova8]

"Triple three" lol any woman (or any person) who lies about their height, weight AND age is a fucking idiot.
Starting off on 3 lies is a terrible way to start any relationship.

 

[Ionian]

Ha! I'm actually subbed to this dude.

His comments on C64 games are hilarious.

 

[Punished Miku]

Whenever I see these "incel wisdom" videos I have to recoil a bit. It just comes across as extreme jealousy, or hatred of women a lot of the time. There's lots of normal women with good careers, but they don't date down a lot, so you have to also have a good career and then you find them.

What most of these videos focus on is just trashing attractive, slutty women. I have had some of the best times of my life with party girls, because they oftentimes are just fun people that enjoy sex and like being around people. As long as you're not super clingy and trying to own them, then there is really no misunderstanding there. A lot of guys would be the exact same way if they could until they hit 40, but they can't so they spread around videos trashing women who can get lots of partners. I never see videos criticizing alpha men who sleep with lots of girls and don't settle down. It just comes across as people desperately searching for a way to criticize women, because they're bitter. Even when you can't get a date, it's just a bad idea to then turn to constant negativity and criticism of the opposite sex online, when the antidote is probably just bettering yourself and being a little more outgoing in reality.

 

[thefool]

Nope. I live with my bro right now and he has kids so I try to avoid most shit.
Haven't had sex since March. Fuck that's crazy.

I used to date and fuck a lot of turbo tinder sluts yeah.

 

[MaestroMike]

its been difficult the last decade due to rona DAM U RONA !!

 

[Peggies]

Damn you Nush!
