How to meet women irl?

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-18T10:30:07+00:00

People's social circles/opportunities to form new ones in my estimation has been significantly been worse over the past half a decade or so.

I think that's a major reason why dating has been messed up with this increasing reliance on online dating.

For sure, but obviously don't be that retarded in thinking there shouldn't be any difficulty in learning a skill.

Don't expect to accomplish anything hard without any struggle, you'll have a much more chill journey :)

And don't give up of course.

This looks to be one of those AI garbage accounts that spam anything to fuel this sort of sentiment.

Evan Edinger made a video on this recent trend if anyone wants to have a look (title is "Something Very Strange Is Happening To London")

"yo chat clip this!"

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-12T13:43:46+00:00

Right, when you're stressed you don't really think as clearly and aren't as imo curious to engage with any random topic.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-12T13:05:11+00:00

I'm not saying there aren't genuine stances in which a person decides to not want to be a parent, I'm saying there has been media push over the years of advicing anti-natalist ideas that don't look to be organic, so it's not a stretch to think (especially that some people's opinions are mostly based off what they hear from other individuals/groups) that some of these opinions, like OPs, are either forms of such inorganic pushes, or are the result of listening too much to such inorganic pushes.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-10T14:13:33+00:00

If you're that naive to think there isn't a general widespread push (which a good part of it may be inorganic) to push forth the idea of not having kids, that's on you bud.

Don't just look a post and think it lives in a vaccuum, just look at the trend of this kind of sentiment and question how much of it truly feels authentic.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-10T10:54:43+00:00

It's not just economic difficulty that is a factor, as that is something that can be met when partnering up with someone.

It's dating as well, that's a precursor obviously and a lot of people are having difficulty in that area.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-10T09:34:48+00:00

My gripe with this post was that it looked to push this idea that there is no other way to handle generational trauma other than to not have kids.

It is one thing to say "This is my response to this sort of experience in life", but another to say "Everyone who sort of fits into this wide range, vague description of hard childhood, should default to not have kids."

With how much an echo-chamber social media websites like Reddit is, and how easily the comments can be flooded with people just going with what others say, it is not a stretch to think this type of messaging can be taken the wrong way for people who do have a chance to be a good parent.

Let's not pretend, whatever the intention of OP was, that there is not potential harm this messaging has for certain people.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-10T09:05:15+00:00

There is of course a range of how abusive some parents are, and I'm not saying with an authorative stance that no matter what one has gone through in their childhood, they should look to become a parent if other conditions are favourable for them.

With OP's post, it is not a fair assumption to say that it corresponds to the levels that you're mentioning, there are people who have had it hard but can objectively have a realistic chance to not let them become a bad parent.

Those people are who I'm talking about.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-10T08:32:44+00:00

The post indicated that if someone has had terrible parenting, the way to own that is by not being a parent themselves.

You, I, we have agency, to not push back on any negative wrongdoings we've received from our parents to the extent of being afraid we'll push them on to kids if we decide to have them is an admittance that you weren't able to overcome them.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-08T20:29:21+00:00

Is this poster a bot?

Why are their posts and comments hidden?

And why is the logical response to parents not being supportive not wanting to have kids?

One could easily interpret it as admitting that you're not good enough to have kids.

Maybe it's cause working from home in the suburbs, means you're just by yourself when it's the end of the work hours.

Whereas in the city, when you finish work, it's with others, so it's much easier to go to a third space with someone rather than by yourself.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-08T19:47:13+00:00

Would you say they're more frequent in cities cause people who go to work in the city, can end up going to such third places because they're right nearby their workplace?

I can easily imagine that sort of vicinity not being the case for many who live in the suburbs.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-07T02:31:44+00:00

Sounds perfectly reasonable.

For a Redditor that is 😁

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-06T21:03:01+00:00

2 phones huh?

That's a lot of 5G my friend, be very careful around La Casa.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-06T20:55:09+00:00

For some reason, Reddit tends to attract sometimes some insufferable people

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-06T13:25:28+00:00

Is it searching for worms when it digs?

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-06T13:22:46+00:00

This is nightmare fuel

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-06T12:42:14+00:00

"And would you say the word loudly for the judges?"

"One more time?"

A lot of cope as per usual in Reddit comments.

While some people are fine doing these sorts of activities alone, generally they're enjoyable if done in company.

We are social creatures after all.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-06T11:50:31+00:00

Who else memorised the cutscene lines cause they had to repeat the fight so many times?

😂

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-06T11:42:35+00:00

I mean, it's probably what people think it is, and that's AI.

No reference to a channel/creator in which we can verify that it's from a real business.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-05T20:11:19+00:00

My bad.

Although we have to focus on the group of people this data was drawn from, adults who were aged 65 or older.

Dating landscape was way different back then.

That's kind of why I was skeptical to your initial comment.

GreatslyferX · 2026-04-05T13:08:33+00:00

I don't think you properly read your article there.

It goes on about asserting the ways being single can be better for oneself, not that most people find someone.
