My 34th birthday is in less than a week and I’ve never been on a date in my entire life. I feel like that’s incredibly rare but I don’t even really care... relationships have never really been a priority for me.

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

It's all wrapped up in faux psychology and statistics to make it sound like fact. It's all flawed as even from those videos (I watched them) in the three countries they listed the percentage of women using online dating was sub 10%. So incel science conveniently ignores the greater majority of women who don't use online dating or just say they all act the same online and off.

Online dating is only one of the tools in the box, you should still be meeting women in traditional ways as well through joining hobby groups, networking and being social. No wonder some guys get nowhere if their dating skillset exists only of bad mirror selfies, emojis and dick picks.

I haven't been dating this past year because they kept closing things down and people around here mostly seemed afraid to go outside. In person everyone is keeping their distance and through apps a lot of people just want to text for long periods to time or do endless "zoom dates". It just didn't seem worth the effort until COVID passes.

Apps have their good and their bad. A lot of points in the videos can be applied to men also. They are one tool to use. I find they are mostly just good for hookups and short term. Meeting people in real life always seems to be better for trying to form relationships then swipe apps. People that complain about women on apps normally try and use as the only way to meet women when they should just be one method.

I will also add I liked online dating a lot better before it became cool. People used to have detailed profiles and it was easier to find people I clicked with. Apps today just have me swiping at pictures and hoping I have something in common with the people I match with.

Married for what will be 20 years in July. There are times when I miss the "when we were first dating" times but dating nowadays would just be weird. I would need a cheat sheet cross reference chart for "Identifies as ____________. Do I have a chance or am I barking up the wrong tree."

No thanks. Over five years after my divorce I still have zero interest in a relationship with a woman. I lived that life for 20 years, being on my own, not having to constantly worry about another person's needs and wants, is fantastic.

Being independent and only worrying about yourself is certainly a nice thing. No deciding on meals together, what to watch, where to go out together etc. I just come home from work, eat whatever I can find, and play video games usually.

Although when you have never had a proper relationship, you certainly long for it. I just feel weird being 25 and not feeling I have progressed anywhere.

I was dating my wife recently after she left me. She's back now. Being single again was pretty cool though. Loads of weed, heroic LSD doses and freedom. But a loving relationship is worth a lot too. I also missed the dog a lot. It's heaven when we are all snuggled up on the couch on a cold winters day.

My calculation is literally like this

Out of 100 woman, only 10 % are relationship material but only 1 woman out of 10 is basically marriage material.

The other 9 need to take therapy first to get rid of their mental problems (boderline, schizophrenic, etc) or women that just want to steal your money. You will need atl east 6 months to discover their mental illness before you can dodge a bullet or its already too late.

That's what I learned, you need to sweat them out to see if they are just on "Good behavior". Some women can hide the controlling lazy / behavior until they are in a position to try and take control of you. Don't rush in and think you've found "the one". Patience pays dividends.

My last two relationships did a number on me so I'm mainly flying solo. Been seeing a co worker sort of casually and it might go somewhere in the future but I don't have the energy or mental capacity to try and deal with anyone else but myself at the moment.

I'm not dating. I'm fucking. They come over.. we have a couple drinks and it's just on you know? lol. Some get attached thinking a relationship is gonna blossom and they go a little crazy. Case in point this asian teacher I was with a few times this week. It just comes with the territory lmao esp since valentines day is this week. It's war you gotta tread carefully as a soldier lmao

But I'm 33.. I have had a never ending shortage of women but my relationships have just never lasted more than a year. I get so bored and just become distant and they sense it and leave. I'm just not marriage type and i'm not going to force myself to pretend i'm something that i'm not. I own my own condo and have been very successful for my age I don't need anyone in that regard.

Be careful out there this week guys, there's a lot of women that just want a special date on valentines and by the 15th they'll have no interest in you. They just want pictures for their socials and the validation.

In fact unless she's already your girlfriend and it's someone you've just met or never dated before (IE nothing solid) offer them the 15th as a day you're available for a date just to smoke them out.

I'm sorta seeing someone at the moment, but I need to end it because she's way too attached already, and also gave me subtle crazy vibes a few times.

I’m old 👨🏼‍🦳 so no not really. I’m lucky in that I’m good enough at what I do I almost enjoy a celebrity from it in certain circles, and I’m tall and in shape so I still slay some puss here and there but noting to c-walk over. I’m more focused on setting up my retirement, women will just fuck that up.
