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.
I've been single for a few years now and I'm used to it
I eat when I wanna eat, do what I wanna do and watch what I wanna watch without being nagged and I have a king sized bed to myself

I'm something of a romantic at heart but me and everyone else my age has too much baggage at this point. And lots of available women are single mothers which don't interest me

Have a few FWB to take care of the sex drive and other than that I live my own life
 
Because by the time I was old enough to figure out women, I was too old to start a family, hence why bother?
Oof, I can relate to this. Also, I was a pussy in my youth and breakups made me suicidal. I just couldn't take being heartlessly discarded one more time.

But I have a much younger brother with autism. My dad pushes him hard to date, marry, and make grandchildren. But it's just impossible for him, and the women his age are all just horrible cunts.

My dad keeps giving him all these literal boomer takes on how to meet women and it's all horribly outdated and ineffective advice. The last thing he made him do is pay to join some dance hall. Almost all the women said that that he was "creepy" and refused to dance with him.

My brother's loser friends have all done better than him with women. One is a registered sex offender for committing incest as a teen. My brother has a much better job than them. But women still want those bad boys and make little bastard babies with them. I don't get it.
 
I've seen several women on dating apps now literally go "I am religious and want to marry with children". One was a literal fucking priest at 28. Now that shit is hot: Pursuing something thoroughly, even if religion. There seems to be a lot going on in just about any moderate size church here, and since it's not just a gathering point for losers and addicts, it's probably a viable place to find a Lord-fearing woman. Imagine how wet her psalms will be when you say "I was turned from sin by He".
Those are called tradcons and are to be treated with caution. Seriously, half those hoes have body counts in the triple digits and realized no man wants them and they're trying to get ahead of the game. You have to be very cautious around those types. The people bullying Pick Mes are wrong for bullying them, but adapting and doing shit like this is the way of the future. Be cautious.

no way to really meet people anymore, im not just walking up to a woman in Supermarket with a smile, it doesn't exactly upset me mind you but destruction of public recreation has been the worst thing imaginable for American society and its only going to cause shit like the Birth Rates to get worse
The problem isn't just destruction of public recreation, it's destruction of public recreation for young people. Whenever I go out nowadays, most of what I see are either couples or people my age or older. You hardly see any groups of young women anymore. They exist, it just isn't as common.

My only hope is to try and meet people through hobbies or mutual friends.
You know, I never really understood the hobbies angle. My hobbies are for me. If my woman wants to share in them, I'm happy to teach her. But I'm not going to go actively out and hunt for women who want to do my hobbies with me. I do them when I want to be alone.

I’m not good with people. Just don’t understand them much less women. Plus I never put in the effort for it because I’m retarded. Honestly, I don’t think I’m mentally well enough to try and find someone to settle down with.
People are easy. You want the crash course? Here you go:
1. Everyone is selfish. Stop having expectations.
2. Everyone is going to do the path of least resistance.
3. Everyone is going to do what is easiest for them.
3b. Also, people don't like options and choices. Don't give them any.
4. For women, take everything they say and invert it. Ex. If they say they want a nice guy, be an ass hole to her and she'll let you walk her around on a literal dog leash.

There you go, that's it. Plan and act accordingly. As long as you keep this in mind and don't internalize it and hold hostility against people for acting this way, you'll have great relationships.

Due to life circumstances, I am in a place where I don't know anyone and have no way to meet women organically. The nearest person I know lives on the other side of the continent.
Start being social and things will fall into place. Don't be a NEET. Talk to everyone.

My dad keeps giving him all these literal boomer takes on how to meet women and it's all horribly outdated and ineffective advice. The last thing he made him do is pay to join some dance hall. Almost all the women said that that he was "creepy" and refused to dance with him.
Man up and be a good brother. You teach him. Don't let your dad teach him. You want him to be social and approachable. Autism might be a condition, but you can learn to be less awkward. Teaching him how to approach women isn't impossible.

>was 28
>in the past tense
>is probably 30+ at this point

Why are people on this site so old by "being mean on the internet" standards? I can't relate to anyone here!

No wonder everyone here is like "boy just go to the diner and give her a firm handshake, she'll do whatever you tell her and suck you off in the bathroom." You are all past the neuroplastic decline point at 25!
 
I broke up my years long relationship (beginning from college) once I started to focus hard on my career (software) and became a money-obsessed techbro, and I've never been back into dating.

I also lost some of my friends that I stopped paying attention to because they weren't in the same industry or were not connected well (or below me). I never thought it'd happen and that I'd be different from the usual loser nerdy programmer types around me but nope, I may talk to women and I might appear social at work but zoom out just a bit and I'm the same as the rest of them. And worse yet, I don't even care unless it affects my career or health.
 
I've never had a relationship due to a number of reasons, but my biggest problem is I'm just extremely socially awkward. Me holding a conversation for longer than a few minutes just feels like a chore which kinda makes it hard for me to make connections in general, let alone with a girl.

Also I have to agree with the whole sentiment of theres not many outlets to meet people my age anymore. I want to find a partner and I wanna at least get closer to someone by the end of the summer, but I just don't see it happening right now
 
Definitely by choice. Definitely because of inadequacy and fear. The only relationships in my family I've seen not end in someone cheating are grandparents (dubious on father's side). Even my friends have an odd bit they ignore: two were in a pretty long term relationship until they I suppose left each other. Not a few months later, she gets with another guy in the friend group. They say they went to the previous friend and he was okay with it, but my gut tells me this is wrong. Especially because we don't see him much anymore. All of this compounds into me being utterly terrified of a similar or worse situation happening to me. What do I do? Simply ignore the blatant examples around me and charge headfirst into a forest littered with bear traps? I'd rather not be in the forest at all without a guarantee. Which I can't get because people aren't machines
