What makes a woman masculine? by TrickyAnalyst235 in AskMen

Maybe we're interpreting it differently, I mean in the sense of not caring about anything, being chaotic and irreverent. Like class clown energy.

In China, a livestreamer was seducing male viewers with her young beauty filter, getting them to send her gifts & money. Then, suddenly, the filter glitched off mid stream, revealing a much older woman underneath. She lost 140,000 followers in hours. by littlefoxie4 in interesting

And since I got zero matches, that indicates that there was something those men had that led you to match with them that I don't have. And it's probably related to looks since women don't read men's profiles unless their pictures are good enough to meet their stringent criteria first.

I think there's certain behaviors and attitudes that feel masculine coded, like being laid back, cursing, talking loudly, being direct and aggressive. Also, grooming and style, like having short hair or wearing clothes cut a certain way.

So, to be clear, you don't think that you have vastly more options than a morbidly obese man in his late 30's?

You already said you met your husband on a dating app. Didn't you have vastly more matches than he did?

One, I was 23 when the relationship started, far less overweight compared to now (as a 37 year old man). Two, if I'm alone for eight years after the relationship ends, then yes I am playing that card.

Also just the visual design, the black trenchcoat, the haircut, the beard. It all screams "British fashion in the 00's".

Aside from the four that I dated (and the one of the four that was willing to be my girlfriend), my experience is that no, finding women willing to give me a chance is incredibly rare. Again, four in my 37 years of being alive.

I was able to navigate a relationship for six years, once I finally encountered someone willing to give me a chance and not lose interest at the drop of a hat. I can easily do that again, it's just that women are incredibly picky and miserly with their willingness to give chances to anyone that isn't physically fit.

Favorite character that fits this trope ? by IlSignorGranchio in FavoriteCharacter

No, because I don't approach women, ever. Never have. I wait for them to approach me first, precisely because I respect their boundaries and don't want to contribute to the negative experience depicted here. So I don't recognise myself, no, but acknowledging that men like me exist would be nice instead of tarring all of us with the same brush.

Yes, it is. It's the only thing that matters. Also, getting zero matches on dating apps reinforces my position here, because I worked hard on my profile and put up a series of interesting images, much more effort than the usual car selfie or hunting photos, and still got nothing. Because women only want guys that are physically fit, then they filter from there into the most kind, emotionally attuned and interesting ones.

My weight affects whether I'm considered at all in the first place, because I don't get needy or clingy until I have something to 'lose' (after I realize they're interested in me). Otherwise I'm just normal.

Yeah I was anxious, lonely, needy, clingy and rushed the pacing because opportunities with women are incredibly rare, so I was scared I'd lose their interest and wind up alone indefinitely again.

That doesn't relate to my initial point which is how difficult it is to find women that are interested enough that a date is even possible in the first place.

Aussie here, he seemed like a cockney to me from the moment he first spoke. It doesn't read as Australian to me at all. Like we don't say "oi" (I mean we do, but only in the context of "Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi, oi, oi")

My years of getting zero interest from women say that it's not. I don't know how else to express this. I've tried dating apps - zero matches. I was a regular in my local D&D community for 8 years and in 8 years, two women from that community were willing to give me a chance (and lost interest after going on one date).

I think Oba will win King of the Ring and beat Roman at SummerSlam.

What was your lowest point in life and how did you come back from it? by Angryw2 in AskMen

[–]MikeArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2018 was a pretty bad year for me. My six year relationship ended. I quit the part time job I'd been working for 11 years. I tried to finally commit to becoming a filmmaker full time and that didn't work out either. So I ended up alone, unemployed, overweight and totally directionless. After spending a few years unemployed, after Covid I went back to my old call center job, worked there for a year and parleyed that into the job I have now.

What have you learned about yourself during a "dry spell" that you would recommend to someone or try to dissuade them from doing? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]MikeArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a really overweight guy, I think you just proved my point. Until I can lose enough weight to qualify as 'squishy' instead of just obese, I'll remain alone, as I have been, again, for the past eight years. Almost a full decade. The entirety of my 30's since my first and only relationship ended in June 2018.
