why are you still single - and general discussion of the dating game

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
My wife passed away 22 years ago and I just could never imagine being with someone else. We were together for 37 years after all and I never loved another woman besides her.

Plus it doesn't hurt that I'm over 80 now so sex is meaningless (thank god cuz modern day porn is fucking horrific) to me and I have a huge gaggle of nieces and nephews to give me love and a sense of family when I feel the need for that sort of stuff.

I do feel bad for all you young types trying to find your way to love and companionship in the crafted hell that is modern dating. What with the Tinder and Facebook shit and the hook up culture that modern progressives have made the key to "successful" dating it's no wonder people just give up and turn bitter (both men and women for once).

Really, I'm amazed anyone can manage to get things working but with a divorce rate of over 65% and climbing I guess most folks are lonely and not sure why. They date and date and date, they fuck and fuck and fuck and wonder why they feel nothing at the end of the night then go home and ask themselves what the point is.

You poor bastards...you have my pity because a good loving relationship is something that makes life worth living.

I feel lately like most every woman I meet is really into me and I'm a sexy winner. Have I developed narcissistic delusions?

At least a small bit of delusion is actually a good thing in matters of the heart because you have to be optimistic and confident before anything else to succeed with the right woman. The key is to accept rejection gracefully when it's final and never take it personally when your heart is shredded to bits even if that kills you. Be forthright but not tyrannical, lay all your cards on the table and you'll either win big or lose big automatically (naturally, because natural selection doesn't make mistakes) and both are good in the end so long as you accept the obvious (and often painful) reality which follows as a natural consequence of your delusional optimism, at least when it comes to love. Heartache is just the first step to perfection so don't fear even the most painful and shameful failure or rejection.

So basically just be willing to lose everything (which will really only be what you don't need; your vanity, your ego, your selfishness) until you eventually win, keep playing the game of life and smile graciously whether you win or lose. Maturity in love is just respecting when you're told no but looking elsewhere constantly until you're eventually told yes by the right person.

I'm single because i wasn't ready to have a serious relationship until relatively recently and I didn't want to be a man whore and flit between women. Currently I'm not where I want to be in my career so I'm trying to improve that first. Hopefully this year though, once I pass the tests I need to take for my job. I'll be able to put myself out there.

I just wish the constant political purity tests weren't a thing. Maybe it's the shithole I chose to live in. Whenever I try to steer the discussion away from politics and towards something we might find common ground on women get upset with me.
My male friends can do it, I dunno what prevents PNW women from just agreeing to disagree.

I haven't ever gotten close anyone, and now I don't like to be touched. It feels like I don't even want to connect with anyone. Like the only reason I worry about it at all is because humans are social creatures by nature.

I had a very stressful life until I was in my late 20's, and a way to cope was to isolate. I'm early 30's now and... It just doesn't seem like I'll be able to connect with anyone. I won't give up, but fuck is it hard.

I don't know and I can't fucking take it anymore. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've followed all the advice from the very best. I walk right up to a cute boyfriend-free girl and go "DAMN that pussy nice!" and they just walk away or try and hit me and sometimes random guys start yelling at me despite doing the exact same thing they did to get girlfriends. It's all women's fault.

For real though, mostly because I don't go out other than work, study and meditating, and that I know I'm not in a place where a relationship would be beneficial in the long term.
I also only seem to get attention from Asian women and I'm not sure if that's a cultural thing, a mid white guy thing or if they're just trying to use me for some reason.
