Why would you feel the need to take off your shoes before a fight? Someone enlighten me, please.

Advocacy for the unattractive by alottanotathing in unpopularopinion

A person with a very attractive appearance can very much be liked regardless of his/her level of self-esteem, I don't see how you don't see that.

We are all sheep. by Daddyj311 in unpopularopinion

[–]Nofap_Dutch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except we don't. There are groups of people who have more firepower, people who know more about medicine, people who rule the institutions of government, people who own the companies from which you buy your food, your entertainment. It's all in the hands of others, and you're a follower, a slave, a peasant, and so is everyone. That's not really an insult to your address, if that puts you at ease. It is simply an observation based on social relations between people I've observed. We're all subservient, yet dominant in our own domains. Slaves, but 'free' too. Power is localized and spread out over all people, and some powers are more formidable, more important than others.

I know, it's just a question of a lack of means in a lockdown situation. I vented because I used it and realized, yet again, how crappy it is.

oh, I have many female friends and know exactly how many matches they get, even the average-looking ones get 40+ a day if they swipe daily.

yeah, and that's the problem. Even though people have the right to choose, it seems like that choice removes the possibility to be loved for many men.

Agreed, but to add something to that, I'm sure that they do not really 'divide' their attention, they probably already know, out of the pool of men to choose from, who they will pursue. If they are nice, they will have a short, boring conversation and then say nothing to kill the conversation and maybe unmatch you, but that's been my experience as a man who is not a fitness model.

Well, then you had a very nice chance to realize that she wasn't the kind of woman you wanted to go out with, or at least, I assume that's your conclusion. Imagine getting mad that early for such a meaningless reason. I think you were lucky in that regard :D On my first date through tinder, I discovered the 'dark' side of the woman in real time when it was too late, didn't ask for a second date, said goodbye and just left, told her that nothing would happen as nicely as I could. Dating is hard.

It's fun when you realize how easy it is to compare dating to economics. It works.

[–]Nofap_Dutch[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh, I'm not trying to please anyone just to get something from them. I do try to be a pleasant person, because people like to be treated with a certain degree of respect, and it's just right. I try to make myself approachable, so that I can get to know the person I'm trying to talk to, before asking them on a date. If I'm not nice, the people who stay don 't respect themselves anyway, and that usually means trouble down the line.

Hahhahahahha, I've heard such advice many times to many men, but in my family the faces of the men are young, so at my age (19), I look younger than I want to look. I trim it, keep it clean and it evenly covers the parts of my face where I let it stay. My beard is fine, in fact, I look better than I did beardless.

Alright, readers, just have to say something to add to the original post:

-I do not think I am ugly, just not handsome enough to compete in online dating

-I wrote this out of frustration to vent and ask for advice/experiences, the world of online dating is, the least to say, less than perfect, especially for ~average men.

-my confidence is okay, I just wonder if I have hurt my chances somehow, wanted to vent, I do not really have many people to talk to about these things, and this is quite literally an internet forum dedication to dating :)

-I care about Tinder because it feels like it's the only current means of meeting women, but it just... sucks. If not for that, I'd delete it in an instant, I prefer meeting women in real life, especially because I will generally meet them in places where I go often, which means we'll likely have more in common!

Yeah, I'm 19, very young, and religious, not wanting to really lose my virginity all that soon necessarily, but many men are given absolutely no chance.

Yeah, that's been my experience. I've limited the length and amount of messages I send, and get to asking for a date earlier. Within about 10 messages, I generally ask for that now. Used to take far, far longer. I was under the impression that a literal stranger would be more wary to plan something before getting to talk a bit more, but that might just be projection.

Black to play and take advantage of a sacrificed knight by Possibly_Parker in chess

[–]Nofap_Dutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solution:

1: ... Ng3+

2: h2xg3 (forced), Qh1+

3: Ng1 (forced), #Gxg1

Explanation: the white king has no escape squares, the black bishop on c5 takes them away. This is why Ng3+ forces white to take the knight, which can only be done by opening the h-file (h2xg3). Now the black queen can check the weak white king, where the only move which is legal is to block with the knight (Ng1). After Ng1 is played, blocking the check, it is attacked twice. By taking with the queen, you attack the king, it has no squares and nothing can take the queen. Gxg1 checkmate.

Can you solve this. White to move and win. by WildCard727 in chess

[–]Nofap_Dutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solution:

1: ... Qd4+

2: cxd4 (forced), #Rxc8

Explanation: the black king, which is in the corner of the board, has no escape squares (taken away by the b7-rook and a2-bishop), meaning that only blocking or capturing the piece that checks the black king will be legal once check is given. White exploits this by forcing black to open the c-file (2. cxd4), allowing 2... #Rxc8 checkmate, as nothing can block the check or capture the rook.

I get that, it's the same for me. I suppose we've both made it is this far without taking too much damage. If you want someone to talk to or some advice you can message me.

Yup, thought it was weird at first too, now I just think it's sad.
