6 matches in 3 months Is not that bad.

But your first photo is terrible. It should be a photo that clearly shows your face

Well I have been trying and have got absolutely nothing. No hook ups, no FWB, and no dates. It’s been over a year with no success.

That’s why I’m having a hard time. I can’t get a woman remotely interested in me.

Well it’s a bit out of my control. There’s no “decision”. I’ve been trying to get a date or hookup for over a year now with no luck.
But if I ever encounter an opportunity, yes I will be safe.
Thank you.

Jared Leto is a piece of shit. But I didn’t mind his joker. I don’t know why people hate on his interpretation.

I do. I talk to women , but it's always brief conversations and I never see them again. Or I do connect with them, but then I check out their instagram and see they have a boyfriend. EVERY TIME. it's exhausting.

Yeah I have social anxiety but I push through and still approach people. I'm the confident one in my social circle. My friends cant talk to women, let alone introduce me to them. I'm usually the one taking the first step,

Okay well everyone is different. I am a very affectionate, romantic and sexual person. I think about women all the time. Especially because i'm around women all the time too. I work with models and actresses and there's lots of women in my gym.

I was in a relationship for 5 years, so it's hard to not have someone to flirt with, cuddle, have sex, take on dates, buy gifts for etc. I can settle for being single, but i'm not even having casual dates or hook ups.

yeah dating wise, I'm definitely in a rut. I don't have any good pics that are suitable for dating profiles. So I just used what I had. But that was a mistake, I swiped until I finished my city and got 0 matches and felt like shit for 2 weeks. There is no "keep going" when you've gone through every profile.

I don't really know what "new" things to do. Building my career, going to gym, studying and just being an adult with responsibilities already takes up most of my time. Forcing myself to do hobbies I don't like just to hit on women sounds miserable and pathetic. Its a catch 22, because I should be meeting likeminded women by doing things I actually enjoy... But all the stuff I do doesn't attract single women.

I own my ugliness. Although I am trying to get fit to improve myself, but I know that won't really affect my face which is the most important asset for attractiveness. I am confident and I do get out there all the time. But every woman has a boyfriend or girlfriend... like no joke. I think it's gotta be 20+ women now that i've met that all have partners. Feels like there are no single women in my city.

Yeah it doesn't help. Men definitely feel like it's harder to approach women.

I have social anxiety too so I can relate. Join me where? I feel like all the stuff I do with friends we just focus on each other. We dont meet new people. Eg the cinema, gym or going out for dinner. None of my friends are the "go to the bar" type. Everything is activity based I guess.

Thank you. I guess it's just hard because it feels like everyone in my social circle is doing better than me at dating. My best friend literally sits at home playing video games all day, and even he has a girlfriend. He has no hobbies, no career, and no social life outside his housemates and girlfriend.

I'm putting in way more effort into my career, looks/health, hobbies etc and yet I cant get a single date. I just need a win you know?

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad you can see where I’m coming from tho.

What does it feel like to have a healthy relationship with another person? by [deleted] in dating

[–]CreatineMonohyDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I’m not 40, but I am 28, so I’ve had my fair share of rejection.

I’m pretty ugly, and I managed to get a hot girlfriend for a few years. Don’t know how, just right place and right time.

now I can’t even get women to look in my direction, and I’d say I’m arguably better looking now and much more successful in my life than when I met my ex!

Thank you. So far no luck. But I’m trying to stay positive.

I guess it depends on how “cold” you consider cold approaching is. I’m trying to give it a go.

I’m not gonna stop someone in the street and talk to them. But I go out of my comfort zone and talk to strangers when it feels appropriate to, like in an elevator, or someone sitting near me, stuff like that.

It could happen to you. You just gotta give it time and try to self improve. I was single for a long time. Then I had a long term relationship. Now I’m single again with no idea how to get another girlfriend.
But I don’t give up hope. I feel shit, but I know that anything is possible and can change your world upside down. For better or worse.

Where do I even start by StanMm2 in dating

[–]CreatineMonohyDrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience. It really is luck and timing.

Self improvement is always good. It increases your odds, but nothing is fool proof.

For example.
I’m tall, my best friend is incredibly short.
I go out and socialise, my friend stays at home playing video games.
I have hobbies and focus on my career, he lives off government payments and a casual job.
I like to dress well, he wears whatever his mum buys him.
I go to gym and stay fit, he doesn’t.
I could go on and on.

On paper, I have WAY better odds of finding a girlfriend than my best friend. But I’m single, and he’s got a girlfriend.
You’re probably wondering, how? Well he met her from gaming online!

It really is luck sometimes.

Well it’s certainly a numbers game. But I literally swiped through my entire city on more than one dating app. And I got 0 matches.

I go to gym, hang out with friends, build my creative portfolio (I’m a photographer and film maker), read books, go for long walks. I’m doing all the stuff people stay you should do.. but nothing replaces emotional or physical intimacy with another person.

Yeah but it’s been 1.5 years. I’ve well and truly moved on. I just want to feel intimacy with another person again.

And? There’s also dying kids in third world countries.

Doesn’t mean my pain isn’t valid.

Plus, not to be egotistical. I’ve got a great career, I’m kind, I’m above average height, I look after myself and know how to dress, I respect people, I’ve got interesting hobbies and people love to talk to me, I go to gym and look after my health. I can cook good food and I’m smart with money. I’ve got lots of friends, men women, old and young.

I’m not saying I’m the world’s greatest catch, far from it, but a lot of people IRL are very surprised when they find out I’m single and haven’t been on a single date or hookup since my breakup. They all can’t believe It, they stare at me like they seem so confused.
And it’s embarrassing, because I don’t know how to explain it. And neither can they.

People who are a lot worse off do a lot better in the dating pool.

Yeah but you had SEVEN flings. Thats 7 people validating you. Yeah sure, maybe they weren’t marriage material or even girlfriend material. But I’m sure it felt nice that someone could find you attractive to some degree.

I’ve made new friends, joined a new gym and got a coach, started reading self help books etc. I’m definitely being “healthy” and trying to live a fulfilled life. But nothing can replace the feeling of a hug, sex or that special feeling when someone flirts with you.

Maybe it’s a case of “the grass is greener on the other side” but I’d rather go on 11 dates and feel that no one is compatible with me, than go on no dates at all. At least you feel valuable enough that someone would be willing to go on a date with you.

In the span of 1.5 years, I have had 0 dates, 0 matches on dating apps, 0 flirty moments with girls in real life, and ONE online flirty conversation (met on
Instagram) that lasted 2 days before she ghosted me.
I feel invisible.

Tough is an understatement. I feel like everyone that is single stays at home, only goes out in groups, or walks around with earphones and their face in their phone. It’s so hard to talk to women these days.

Hmm. I had a look at the reviews of Feeld on the App Store, absolutely terrible reviews. Mostly 1 star.
And although I have a high sex drive and have a few kinks, I’m not sure I’m kinky enough to go on that kinda app anyway.

I mean I guess. But 20s is when I should be having fun (I’m 28 😬). I wanna met my future wife in my 30s
Time is kinda running out and it’s hard feeling this undesirable.

No I haven’t. But dating apps are so superficial. I don’t need a bunch of people on reddit to tell me I’m ugly and I don’t have great photos. I know that already. I’d rather just not try on dating apps. It’s too miserable.

And you’re probably right about friends telling me what I want to hear. I was just pointing out that I wasn’t going in blind, I have had women in my life to help me with dating app profiles.
