We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on.

Posts of the following nature are banned:
1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post.
2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no.
3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture.
4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments.

Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating.

I dunno why, but I find that since I came out of college, the ratio of single guys to single girls starts becoming kinda bad.

To be honest in the past I feel that I could get girls roughly my type but now it seems quite abit harder, it's kinda like the girls got a huge boost in market value while the guys (including me) dropped quite abit.

I know it sounds kinda petty but I'm rather frustrated about this and am wondering what to do now.

I'm not sure if I should be thinking of the pre-engagement whistle from Friends or the elaborate Betan system of hairstyles and earrings from the Vorkosigan Saga.

I suppose my stance on promise rings is "whatever floats your boat".

Ah, the one that South Park so gloriously lampooned.

Nah, I think it's a bad idea, for me personally anyway. Sex is kind of a big deal, it's a bad idea to enter into such a commitment without at least testing the waters first.

I'm talking about for my girlfriend who I'll have been with for 2 years in a few months haha. It's not really a "pre-engagement" ring though, it's more like a, "I won't cheat on you in college," ring. I was thinking about getting my girl one.

I'd like to bring out the fact that I and Wombat are speaking of different Promise rings. I was referring to "pre-engagement" rings, Wombat is referring to chastity rings.

Also, I'm one of those guys that feels that modern society is a bit sex-obsessed, but I'm not willing to go back to the good old days of a marriage-obsessed society.

I bought my ex a "I won't cheat on you in Thailand" bracelet. Worst money I ever spent.

I suppose it's nice and symbolic, but equally it's kind of expected behaviour with the territory.

I quite like the idea of marriage, and of partnership and mutual respect, but have a bit of unease from the kind of joint ownership if you will that confers on each other.

While on the subject of chastity rings, I'd like to say that if you are not planning on having sex before marriage, it is only fair to let prospective suitors know. What really queers the deal for everyone is the girls that cave in, since that devalues the chastity ring by making it a challenge instead of a flat-out no.

While on the subject of rings, wedding rings are fucking chick magnets, I don't wear mine too often (I take it off during mma training and generally forget about it in my gym bag for a few days til my wife notices) but when I do wear it out in public I get woman randomly opening on me and they are all total whores about it, making sure they know I know they saw the ring and say things like "I can keep a secret"

after being dominated, that is women's second most popular fantasy if I recall. Being the girl on the side with a married man.

Girls get off to pretty weird shit.

as an aside, they also do it because they like to judge their worth. Are they attractive enough that you are willing to sleep with them anyway despite being married? Stuff like that.
I come in for the scraps

You should see what taking my 3 month old son out on my own is like, it's nuts. If I put on a sad face and went 'it's been really tough since his mum died, he has her eyes' I would get so much pussy.

Thankfully his mother isn't dead, nor do I particularly want other ladies but they do totally dig the image of the hardworking single dad

Yeah I just find it more humorous than anything because he's not being a serious dick about it or anything. xD

I have 3 kids, I've never been hit on while having all 3, but when I used to take my daughter to some college classes with me I would get swarmed. Single dad is cute, single dad of 3 is too much.
