Been on a few dates…

Get rid of the anxiety any which way you can…

Insecurity, anxiety, and overthinking can cause a lot of problems.

A lot of problems.

Like a lot.

Being able to cold read and properly respond to social and emotional cues is the key…

But yeah also social media doesnt help…

Some advice out there suggests being dramatic and playing games…

It is wrong…all you are actually doing is just shooting yourself in the foot.

Ive seen broke dudes with nothing going for them…and guys that dont wipe after they shit themselves pull more ass than wall street players…

Take from that what you will.

White knights, blah blah comes with territory…level up…

blah blah…also competing with f - boys so level up…blah.

Meh.

Leveling up is the solution to your problems.

I haven’t tried online dating since before smart phones (at least I didn’t have a smart phone then). It seems a bit like the Wild West but pretty similar to what I remember.

I can’t fucking win with the online dating…I’m either getting way too old creepers or people that could be my kids…

Dont solely rely on dating apps…

Multipronged approach by using dating apps…
And venturing out into the wilderness…

Dating apps keep you single because its good for their bottom line via not boosting your profile…and shitty algorithms.

Also meeting strangers from the internet…is like i could be talking to some 50 year old posing as a 30 year single model…

You have better odds approaching someone in person when venturing out into the wilderness.

Yea. That makes sense. You can’t trust an app and online has a lot of weirdness.

Thankfully, strictly speaking, I’m not single. So this adventure is just (needed) icing on a wonderful cake I’m going to marry. That might actually be a terrible analogy given the context of the conversation but I’m sincerely trying to be at least PG 13 here lmao.

I’m basically 40 and have never gone to a bar looking for attention until this past Friday. Luckily, Ive usually met people through mutual friends, group activities, and mutual interests.

I clearly went somewhere too young for me, but inquired and found a better place to check out. After some hetero drunk college chick spilled a drink on me I peaced out.

Been on a few dates…apparently i had nothing to talk about…i usually talk about philosophy and politics…total vibe kill.

Tv watching is not an appealing life experience, nor music making marathons…especially when ive only made $18.00 from music…total vibe kill.

From what i know
Get people to talk about themselves…
Keep it positive…
Dont talk about politics its a vibe kill.
Talk about each others life experiences…
Talking about work is a vibe kill.
Tv is a vibe kill.
Its a relationship…

They are supposed to relate to you…know you, the whole purpose is being together…being apart of each others lives, also being aware of how she treats you, and you aware of how you treat her…

Guys its about personality and a variety of other factors…personality is the biggest part of it…and also fulfilling her desires and meeting her needs. By needs i mean emotional needs…fuck that sugar daddy shit. Lastly have self respect and they will respect you.

Also came across a few users that tried to stroke my ego to get something from me.

Some had a few red flags, like always the portraying themselves as the victim, or it was like pulling teeth to get them to talk, or they tried to emotionally manipulate me by stroking my ego…

Beware of ā€œamber heardā€, gone girl ā€œamy dunneā€ and golddigger types…people who use people, manipulators…etc…

ALSO the users and manipulators arent an excuse to go down the rabbit hole of misogyny…

Also saw a tiktok vid of a women saying that as a feminist she wanted/needed a real man…lol…this stuff is not a one size fits all…different strokes for different folks.

I have the personality of stale bread. Lol.

Im gonna go listen to female rnb. Now… lol

One thing I always try to do is ask questions about the other person, comment on their answer and then answer the question about myself. This works especially well if the other party is feeling a bit awkward and isn’t talkative.

I definitely avoid politics until I get up to the point of ā€œwe are officially dating.ā€ Sorry mot sorry I cant be with someone who has vastly different social and political beliefs than me

Listen.

Dont play with feelings…be sensitive enough to respond appropriately…if you need safe spaces your doing sensitive wrong.

Have a life.

A platonic date is better than no date? Yes. It is.

Been going out, had a few women try to pick me up…but i screwed up the opportunities.

Also…

Would you date you, would you want to be in a relationship with someone that is exactly like you?

If the answer is objectively no…then youve got work to do.

Think of your most favorite person that you know…and think of the feelings that you experience being around them.

Basically the goal is being someones elses favorite person…

To do this basically dont be boring, dont be an abusive asshole, but also dont get used…

Lastly dont be butthurt from getting rejected, and also dont be butthurt after trying out and not making the cut.

Game is basically social skills and being smart enough to not get used…

Figure it out for yourself…

Because a lot of people are just making it up as they go along and doing the scientific method when it comes to relationships.

Do the self work…to be the best version of yourself…being your best self is the key.

Been out on a very few dates…got flaked on a couple of times…and the others i just wasnt interested in

Dont logic your way to dating…

Dating isnt logical.

Because people sometimes try to rationalize their basic animal behavior.

I just wish I could actually get someone from an app to meet me instead of just wanting to chat for 17 years first lol
