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. | ||

It's hard to find a girl that I'm interested in that is also interested in me. Dating has always been a game of convincing myself that I'll like the girls that are super into me, the girls that are not into me at all actually are, and finding out that the one I do like is already taken. I've turned down quite a few, have been turned down as often, but I think I found the right girl. Now I just have to ask her out (she'll say yes). | ||

More exactly, we met online on some sort of roleplay-based website with an UI (you can make actions with your character on the UI and make roleplay on forums or IRC based on what your character do), and my character married her one. We had some roleplay on IRC, then we started to talk "normally" (i.e no roleplay) on IRC, MSN, etc... We texted a lot, she had free and unlimited calls from 9pm to 12pm almost everyday so we were on phone almost everyday. One day (maybe one year and a half later) I told her my feelings (basiccaly that I loved her), we met maybe 1 or 2 months later, and instead of the "hey how are you blablabla" stuff, bam, we kissed. 6 years in 2 months. And yep, my english is shit sometimes. | ||

Or he's gay... which seems entirely irrelevant to the discussion The discussion is called "Dating, how's your luck ? " . What's irrelevant ? I'm kind of sad I missed it because now it's too late but I've never dated a girl even tho I'm on a relatioship for almost 6 years now. Internet ftw could be interpreted to mean his hand. | ||

Good luck getting rich without talking to people. | ||

If you're upset that you're an uninteresting person, with nothing to talk about, and girls are always off talking to interesting guys who do cool things with their lives: BECOME ONE OF THOSE GUYS. Seriously, if the most exciting thing you can talk about is (and this is going to date me, but I don't follow pro gaming anymore, so this is the most recent match I've watched) JoyO vs Boxer... well, you're not going to be a good candidate for most people, since they don't know what the hell you're talking about. So do things, make yourself an interesting, well-versed person, and you'll naturally meet people and girls. I know that's easier said than done for many, but it will make you a happier person in general, I think. http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-harsh-truths-that-will-make-you-better-person/ I know it's from Cracked, and what the hell do they know, right? The man makes some great points, and point 3 is especially true. I won't call it a "resolution" but this was a realization that I had prior to reading this article, that the reason I wasn't interesting to people, part of the reason my ex-gf may have left me, and part of the reason I was having difficulty meeting new women/friends is that I don't do anything. I hang out with the same small group of friends (which includes few females, who are in relationships with my guy friends), I go to work, I work out at a small gym, and I sleep. Not a good way to meet people, and the feeling I get from the complaints I've seen here seem like they'd carry very similar stories to mine. | ||

Edit : actually not, a mediocre article. I can't see why people would laud that but blame drow for spouting nonsense. | ||

I can't see why people would laud that but blame drow for spouting nonsense. Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with most of it; I think he is kind of wishy-washy in some aspects. In one sentence he's telling you that you are your job (i.e. the money you make), and in the next he's telling you it's not all about your job and the money you make, but what you do overall... but point three is very true, imo. Regardless of what validity any other part of that article has, point three is absolutely true. You don't have to be a millionaire, or a NY Times best-selling author, or anyone that is generally regarded as "important" in today's world (because almost all of those people are rich), but you have to be interesting, and you have to do what you love (it helps if you also love your job). If what you love to do is helping kids, or counseling teenagers, or something else that's equally good to do, but doesn't make much money, then that's fine. If you're a janitor, but you spend your time off going on road trips, and... idk, mountain biking through the country, that's cool too (in fact, the first two things combined was getting a friend of mine a lot of ass for a while... he doesn't seem to believe in relationships... he still gets loads of women, but he's moved on from his janitorial duties). Those things make you an interesting person to talk to, and to be around. People gravitate toward interesting people... so be interesting. It was actually in talking to my friend that I referenced in the parenthetical statement that made me realize WHY he got women more than me. He's not significantly better looking than me (I think I'm better looking), and he doesn't make more money, wear nicer clothes, drive a nicer car, etc... yet women love this guy. Why? HE DOES THINGS! I looked through his FB pictures, and he's got pictures of his times in Cali, in Vegas, hiking through the Rockies, New York and so on. He does cool shit, so he has stories to tell, which means he has something to talk about. Me? I can talk about football, and... uhh... video games? And, imo, therein lies the difference. | ||

It must be the very self-denial he mentions, but I feel his message is slightly hypocritical. People who chide their peers for not achieving enough are nearly always underachievers anyway. | ||

It would have been more convincing did it not centre on the writer's invalid example. It should be common sense that you have to prove your writing abilities before congratulating yourself on it, and when you fail to do so in an entire article one's inclined to believe those skills don't exist. It must be the very self-denial he mentions, but I feel his message is slightly hypocritical. People who chide their peers for not achieving enough are nearly always underachievers anyway. I have a feeling that article was written by someone who doesn't date, and is pandering to other people who don't date. Anyone trying to tell someone else how they should be spending their lives to be more productive is either 1) Trying to sell something or 2) projecting insecurities about their own lives. Or in this case most likely both. | ||
