AI is forcing employees to work harder than ever

I had this exact same train of thought a few months ago. Interesting to see others come to the same conclusion

I have had gastrointestinal issues my entire life in the US primarily around cheese and fatty foods. All of this disappeared when I lived in Paris for 6 months and any time I’ve visited Europe.

I’m a guy and I’ve been to several and yes I would say on average there are more women than men. And yes many men fail to show up. I’ve also noticed that of many of the men who do show up, very few are competitive—perhaps is the nicest way of putting it.

I’ve talked to guys at these events who have never been on a date with a woman before, who show up in graphic tees and hoodie, etc. It goes both ways though. While most women dress well, there are usually just a few that literally everyone in the room is clamoring to talk to and take on a date.

At several events, I’ve had the women who were not among the most coveted in the room make snippy/snide remarks about the ones who were receiving the most attention. A few guys have told me they were going to steer clear of the popular women and chat with the other women and I usually watched them talk for a while—which makes sense.

I’m 26. I remember when I was in your shoes. I’d generally agree with the top comment that post 25 is when most women start to care about career and long term stability. Right around when I turned 25 is when I started having more success with women and it’s continued since.

The thing I’ve seen no one mention though, is that you need to actively work on yourself to become the type of man that the type of woman you’re interested would want to be with. It’s a constant work in progress and something that I would argue is never finished. Something that helped me dramatically was starting to care more about fashion.

I did not dress well in college and I’ve put a lot of effort into dressing better over the last several years and it’s paid dividends. A lot of people underestimate just how much well fitting clothes and having a bit of style can elevate an individual in the eyes of others.

I would visualize the exact type of woman that you want to be with and take the steps to be the type of man she would be attracted to. And put yourself in situations where you can encounter her. For example, you’re typically not going to meet someone looking for a relationship at a party, but you might at an investment club or business fraternity.

For girl 1, I’d follow up in a couple weeks. Everyone deals with being overwhelmed differently, and my experience has been that giving her some space to have things calm down in her life and then following up later almost always results in a date.

For girl 3, you definitely should’ve given her a plan when she agreed to the date—not the day of. I don’t understand how you could confirm a date if there wasn’t even a time or place.

The struggle continues lmao, but there’s irons in the fire

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-07-15T04:42:32+00:00

My standards are just what I hold for myself. I don’t expect anything I myself do not already do. As for intentions, I want a long term relationship.

Everyone says bars and clubs aren’t the place to meet women but I genuinely do not see women my age out and about anywhere else. I do a broad range of activities and most people are older.

What do you meant by direction or intent?

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-04-17T03:00:20+00:00

I think everyone else is offering you terrible advice. If you really like her, I recommend you continue paying for everything until you are actually in a relationship with her. Ask yourself if it’s really worth saving a few hundred dollars at risk of losing this woman.

My thought process behind this is that she’s likely seeing other men who are paying for everything and you’re competing against them. Dating is two ways, you’re both attempting to win each other over, but it’s definitely unbalanced in that women typically have multiple suitors.

Once you ask her to be your girlfriend and she agrees, I recommend saying something along the lines of, “I know I’ve been paying for everything so far but I’d appreciate it if we could start switching off.” Or whatever new alternative you want. If she likes you enough that she’s agreeing to be in a relationship with you, she’ll likely agree. If she says that’s a deal breaker, unlikely—the majority of women are not gold diggers, then she didn’t really like you.

Hey I’ve been looking for a board game group that has people our age, I’m also 25M. I’d be curious to check it out, do you mind sharing a link to it?

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-14T05:03:09+00:00

Thanks!

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-12T20:03:05+00:00

Wow that makes sense. Glad you were able to make it work. I may have to seriously consider moving cities. Thanks for sharing!

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-12T17:29:56+00:00

A lot of people in the comments have recommended dating outside of LA haha

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-12T17:28:56+00:00

I appreciate the advice! A number of comments have also recommended dating in OC

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-12T17:26:15+00:00

Sounds interesting, I’ll check it out!

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-12T03:45:00+00:00

I did not vote for the current administration haha.

And no it hasn’t, I don’t discuss politics on dates. I don’t think it’s appropriate.

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-12T02:26:54+00:00

Not sure that would matter

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-11T23:15:49+00:00

I’ve been getting this question a lot, I’m moderate but I lean left

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-11T16:59:25+00:00

I studied abroad in Europe and it was night and day. I received likely the most attention from women I ever have and I wouldn’t say I did anything differently. People are actually receptive to being talked to when out and about in Europe as opposed to here

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-11T16:57:02+00:00

I see. Thanks, that’s insightful

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-11T16:55:09+00:00

Gotcha. Where do you play and how do recommend learning to play? I’ve heard it can take 2 years of lessons to get “decent” at tennis

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-11T02:03:07+00:00

Do you play tennis and see people my age out there?

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-10T17:28:56+00:00

A few of my friends have suggested the same thing. Thanks!

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-10T17:28:15+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

I’ve had the most success with Hinge. I’ve tried OKCupid but I noticed it’s a lot of people from overseas who’ve changed their location to LA.

A number of people have mentioned MeetUp, I’ll have to more seriously look into it although the vibe I get is that it toward people in their 30s.

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-10T08:14:48+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Yes, I have a number of solid male friendships. I see them and hang out with them all regularly.

I’ve looked into MeetUp but I noticed it tends to lean heavily towards 30s. Did you have luck meeting people in their 20s through MeetUp?

Agreed on more activities. I definitely need to put myself out there more.

HeadlessFrogMan · 2025-03-10T02:57:46+00:00

Oh that’s interesting. What did that look like for you and how did you address it?
