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.

Oh come on guys, unless you own a house and a career job you shouldn't be 'dating.' You shouldn't be spending a cent on any woman either, show her the door. In starting a conversation it is good to comment negatively on what she is wearing, i.e. your shoes look uncomfortable, this is a party not a job interview, etc.

Women who go out on Friday/Saturday nights are looking for sexual satisfaction, that's a fact and use it to your advantage.

it's "Dating, how's your luck?", not "One Nightstands, how's your luck?"

Your cynicism saddens me

EDIT: Oh and on the discussion about whether or not you need to be good looking;

Imo, girls categorise guys by looks in 3 ways; you're either fugly, ok, or hot. Not many guys are hot. You've gotta be tall, muscular, athletic, handsome, good hair, teeth and fashion sense...it's a big ask.

95% of women will go out with an 'ok' looking guy. It's not even that they're willing to settle; they just go by other factors when thinking about attractiveness.

If you're fugly, sorry gents but you'll just have to have lower standards. It's not a big deal - so you're never gonna pull some curvy, gorgeous babe. Meh. (unless you get super rich, in which case enjoy your multiple young bimbos)

That's my take anyhow.

I started talking to this girl at work for about a week. Mostly texting, we've never hung out. Then she posted this gem of a status on FB: "If you can't get someone out of your head, then maybe they're supposed to be there "

My friend is going out with her friend. He told me it was about me, since I told him to ask.

Help.

Dateless and desperate.

well, never been in a relationship but I feel like society in general completely overrates love, marriage, and having a family :/ but who am I to judge? I think it's each to his/her own.

some people feel a lot more comfortable in a stable relationship than just going out and having sex with random whores

The fuck, you don't need help. Keep texting, ask her to hang out. No doubt she already knows you told your friend to ask whether it was about you. Seriously, no doubt at all, girls tell eachother everything like that.

You're in, keep going, don't pussy out, ask her out for coffee or food or something.

I'm 24, married to my high school sweetheart, been together since we were 16, never had a fight.

She hasn't let me teach her how to play, although she has picked up a ton of stuff just by osmosis, like while I watching watching a tournament recently she correctly identified MC and Naniwa.

gl hf to all those single dudes out there still looking for the right girl. I totally lucked out.

and for the nerds who have spent their whole life playing video games and only that, a girl won't fall from the sky, you will have to work on your social skills, girls like to talk about silly random shit, so learn to use small talk

Never had one. Not seeing one in the immediate future either.

What?

The guy is right even though it is a terrible generalization: having stability, a home and a satisfying career go along way. In fact, you can be a shoe-in to nab someone.

As for whether you have to be good looking. My alarm went off. Great thing about being a guy is looks really don't matter to women. I'll steer clear from city nightlife/one night stands because that can go in all sorts of directions.


You don't have to be the prettiest thing to look at. Men (here comes the silly generalizations) have it a lot easier when it comes to looks. I'll speak for myself, I know I need sexual tension/attraction if I'm going to take it another step.

The female brain works a bit different. You have to accept this.

I know plenty of women who like guys who can make them laugh. This is just one example. They look for a lot more in a guy rather than just looks. It's way more complex.

Even then, we all have our categories for physical attraction as well: "What do you look for in a guy?"

"Oh I like a guy with a nice smile"
"I like a guy with a nice butt" (giggles)
"I like a guy with pretty eyes"

Whereas guys.

"All about that ass"
"I like a good rack"
"I like a good smile" (sounds familiar, no?)

Your looks is just the bare bones of attraction.

Kinda seemed like he didn't mean you'd be more likely to get a girl if you have all those things - he said you shouldn't be having relationships at all if you don't have a career and a house. Fuck that.
