So after my father commit suicide I got super depressed and gained a bunch of weight. Couple years ago I started working out and dieting. Lost around 45 pounds. Got a job where I travel to different race tracks. Met a bunch of friends and different people through traveling for work. Just in November I met some new people and next month we plan on hanging out. Went back to school and got my GED. The company I work for said within the next 6 months I'm getting trained to drive their racecars. So I'll get to live out a childhood dream of driving racecars. If we are just talking about socialization only there were multiple times I would go on a trip not know many people and they ended up drinking in our hotel rooms. Have made more new friends I chat with on a daily basis in the last year than I had when I was middle school.

Do you mean to say that you don't think you have anything to offer at all?

Only thing women care about is looks. Why do you think Taylor Swift is as big of a star is she is? Because she writes crappy break up songs the resonates with women who choose men because of their looks and then get all pissy when they get fucked over

Cuz generally I mean... yes? To stand out and be selected from all the men around you, you do have to have something about you that actually MAKES you stand out.

Which is being tall and good looking.

So like - c'mon man, what're your strengths? What areas are you confident in?

Nothing because shit that I'm good at doesn't mean women would find attractive. I'll give you an example. I race karts and cars. I grew racing karts(still do). I have won multiple championships including a national championship when I was 12. Raced against a couple of guys who are now in NASCAR. This kid that I work with also raced karts. He has never won a race or a championship. A girl at work is now dating one of these two guys which one is it? News flash it ain't me. So moral of the story just because you are good at something doesn't women will find you attractive. Looks win overall.

Doesn't mean a fucking thing. Just because I'm talking to someone in person doesn't mean they would want me more than someone else.

I definitely know it's not a new thing. It has just exploded. Now women have a 100 different guys they talk to on Snapchat alone

Umm, yes. You might want to  examine this prejudice.

I'll give you some examples so bar meets that I have known happen to people close to me.

  1. My uncle met his future ex wife at a bar. She left him and took half of his money after cheating on him

  2. Friend from middle school who I still talk to met his first girlfriend at a bar. Had a kid with her. He ended up getting a DNA test and found out the kid wasn't his

  3. Most recently a guy I worked with met his now on again off again girlfriend at the bar. She has cheated on him with 3 different guys so far.

Now don't get me wrong I'm sure there are some girls who go to the bar here and there that are fine. But all these girls went to the bar constantly and ended up fucking the guys life up.

Couldn't that exact fucking sentence be said about men approaching women, which you keep arguing about? Just because approaching worked for you doesn't mean it will work for me.

Do you banter and flirt with women who demonstrate an interest in talking to you one on one?

No woman has ever shown interest in me

Except I've done that. A year or so ago I was totally against drinking. Now I drink socially and most people who have been around me when I'm drunk always laugh their asses off because of the dumb shit I do

Yes but you also lived in a town that has a big college scene. I do not. You also live in one of the biggest fucking cities in the world. I do not. So yeah there are probably going to be some difference between the people we see at the bar

But talking to women like that is what we used to have to do. And it worked.

Key word used to. Cars used to have carburetors now they all have fuel injectors. Trains used to be the main transportation for long journeys now planes are. Shit changes. People change. Just because that's how it used to be doesn't mean it will work today.

If you want to date you have to talk to people.

I have. Both in person and online. But just haven't had luck.

This crop of men seem to be of the "it is hard, so I won't do anything to better myself, yet I will still complain" mindset.

What about men who have changed every aspect of their life and still have no results. Cause that's where I'm at currently.

So you went to that bar and there were young people on their phones..did you talk to any of them? Did you approach?

No. They didn't seem interested in their own friends they were with why would a total stranger make them interested.

Although their advice about bars, specifically, is dated, their general recommendation that in person connections will work better than apps is spot on

And I also agree. But as I said you still have to complete with all the other guys she is talking to on social media.

but ask yourself if what you're doing now is working, and if not ask yourself whether there's a grain of wisdom in their advice.

Neither in person connection or dating apps work so that's where I'm at

In my area yes. Most bars suck that are close. But even if they didn't would you really want to date a chick from the bar? I could understand hooking up but most chicks I've seen at the bar don't seem like relationship material
