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. | ||

You just need to be a man. BTW: I don't mean this in any hateful way. | ||

then had another girl do the same at sr. prom afterparty stopped for a while since that doesn't exactly build confidence about a year later i had a girl cheat on me while i was visiting grandparents and now, another year later i have had ~4 drinks poured on my head by girls dumping me, each a different one 3 of them alcoholic the other one was a mtn. dew lol to be fair my luck goes towards other areas such as keeping me alive since i've survived numerous close encounters with my own death, most of them in my car or drinking way too much (i.e. chug a liter of smirnoff and then take shots of bacardi) but the more recent ones on my motorcycle have been pretty fucking close so in the end it all evens out, my luck keeps me alive while giving me reason to do stupider shit | ||

Confidence really is 9/10 the battle, I by no means am the most attractive guy in the world, but I am currently playing up a proverbial league because I am confident in myself. ColmA, coming from someone who had those issues most of their life, you should get into something that makes you feel good about yourself. For me it was running, the first time I was told I had dropped weight made me brim with confidence, you just need that little push to get momentum going. This is pretty true. ColmA, have you ever considered being checked for depression? You sound like you have severe body dysmorphic disorder, and it's a lot more common than you'd think. Doctors today relate it to a lack of serotonin in the brain, and there are plenty of pills that can really help with that. | ||

Some are built for comfort, some for speed. Some for looks, some for practicality. So, the really pretty one, thats really fast, is going to be really expensive, and the comfy one that is practical is less expensive. What is the expense? Mostly your money (because nearly that is all that women REALLY want) but also your time, effort, and emotions. So, my advice is find the women that meets your budget (time and money) and don't let them walk all over you, because, each and every one of them, given the chance, will rip out your heart, and empty your bank account, both at the same time. Not one of them is exempt from that statement. | ||

Claiming that you need a certain amount of money to have a relationship with a certain woman is just as absurd as claiming you need a certain amount of looks. Sure, those extreme cases do exist but it's very far from the majority of cases. | ||

Lets take an average girl, say... the pharmacist assistant at the nearby drug store, or maybe your neighbor, or maybe even your ex girlfriend. Lets then apply your logic that money does not matter. So, you are saying that any of these girls, will absolutely date and potentially fall in love with the welfare receipient at the soup truck. Really. No average girl would EVER be caught dead even approaching a welfare case knowingly. Women are money grubbers. If you look the part, you might deceive them long enough to get their attention, but without the dress and deportement, and the car or house, you are not going to get her time of day. PERIOD. | ||

We both agree we love each other, and I plan on visiting her in 4 months, but long distance relationships are weird... physical aspect of a relationship is so important, and I don't have much experiences with long distance relationships.. anyone have some pointers? lol Anyone help me out with my situation? Just wondering if long distance has worked out... it's not a full time thing, we'll see each other again a few times, one day she'll be back for good, but I need some advice for the mean time :D | ||

Congratulations, you grabbed an extreme case. That's equivalent to saying "Look at that 500 pounds dude with 3 legs, he can't get a girlfriend and you say looks don't matter." to refute the other argument. Obviously you need basic levels of money to socialize with just about anyone, but you're claiming that you need a woman that "meets your budget" which is not more or less than a limiting belief you're carrying around, not some kind of important fact to keep in mind. | ||

Probably the worst date I've ever been on, great for the self esteem and all that I chose the player life, but the player life did not choose me. I love acting gay to kick out potential competition easily. One day I ran into a bisexual guy and total awkwardness ensued. :X | ||
