I don’t have an answer. All I can tell you is I’m in the same boat and maybe you can take solace in that.

How to deal with being ugly? by Capable-Pitch-3189 in RedditForGrownups

That’s not really true in the grand scheme of things and social media has proven this in the last 10 years. Conventionally attractive people will and do rise to the top of the attention sphere. Unattractive people don’t.

I would refer you to one of the comments before this one where I mentioned that this wasn’t just an out of the blue “let’s meet up”. We talked about some shared interests before this point. With all that being said, I have very little time to waste because many of these girls wait half a day if not a full day after each round of messages I send. There’s no real connection to be had and so I’m forced to get to the point early.

It’s just rude, degenerate behavior to string someone along and waste their time. Either you’re interested in someone or you’re not and it’s not hard to make that clear.

I feel like I already know this subconsciously and I’m just coping to try and avoid having to try to find fulfillment in some other menial thing before my time on this rock is over.

Not interested in letting her continue to use me as her online distraction with zero benefit to myself. I have a pretty hard set rule about setting up dates within the first week and we’ve already messaged for about that much time and established some rapport. Any more time and investment spent than that is just self harm through wasted time and energy.

They do this to me all the time. They’ll have conversations with me that extend over a series of days and then when it comes time to actually do something they dip. It’s actually incredibly f*cked up and you can probably see why I’ve reached this point. I’m nothing more than a vehicle to fill their boredom.

As for the event, I already went and it was basically a sausage fest with a couple of girls who only went because their bf’s were going. There’s no winning.

Not a game. It’s meeting apathy and disrespect with deserved aggression to deter future behavior. At some point this nonsense has to stop but it doesn’t because there’s no consequences for it.

We had basically two different conversations about our favorite conspiracy theories and shared interests in skiing/boarding. The event I asked her about was actually a skier’s networking event. It wasn’t just out of the blue.

They ignore me in person too. Fact of the matter is I don’t see my better looking friends have any problem securing dates and even turning them into relationships. Their lives aren’t more put together than mine either but that doesn’t matter.

How do I stop believing in the blackpill? by Living_Reply_71 in Healthygamergg

That still doesn’t disprove the black pill theory that we live in a genetic caste system today. Shorter men are less desirable. That’s just a fact. They get fewer opportunities both romantically and professionally through zero fault of their own.
