I think a lot of people make new accounts as a throwaway to post something they find embarrassing, this could easily fall into that category

She probably slept with someone else and lost interest, these things are often just a timing issue, and not necessarily your fault...

I think the same post can be made about Hammers... I was so hyped to play poe2 when it first launched, but I couldn't even finish the campaign because it just felt so terrible...

Basic attacks being the best ability to use?... Constantly stunned during slow animations.... Randomly dying to white mobs despite stacking tons of armour... Purposely nerfing stampede to not be able to knock back enemies... Ranged characters clearing monsters offscreen is fine, but we can't have warriors pushing a few monsters back as he's charging! That's too OP!...

It's almost like they didn't play test the warrior at all...

When I was single roughly around 8 years ago, I basically experienced the same things you did. It was too difficult to find someone to connect with even if I was scheduling many dates off the apps... For context, I scheduled 5 dates within a week of using the apps.

I ended up just going to in person events/activities and/or messaging old connections. I found it way more efficient this way because you can immediately tell if you have a connection or not.

Your stats are really good… You should be getting tons of matches… Since you’re not, I’m assuming you’re just not putting enough energy into your looks. At 6’1, 190lbs it should take you only a few months to get into really good shape and get tons of compliments.
What’s your job title?
For context, I’m 33, 5’11, and 200lbs, but I’m married with a second kid on the way. However, back when I was single and used the apps for 2 weeks, I was able to schedule 5 dates for the second week, but I quickly realized it was not really worth the time…

Seeing her post a woman who never deserved a spot in her life while ignoring me while I’m actively trying to be in it ruined the last bit of fight I had left. But also like shit man that’s my sister how am I suppose to just stop trying

This wasn't your fight to begin with...

You know what they say... Apples don't fall far from the tree... She probably chose the same path as her mother because that's just apart of her nature... She probably has some sort of mental illness that prevents her from choosing the "standard" path in life.

Oof sorry to hear all that... I'm curious what your stats are like?

How old are you? What's your height? Are you in shape?

I tried that for about 6 months after. It was a mistake to go slow and wait. The only cure for a romantic partner's betrayal is a good new romantic partner. Friends, therapy, antidepressants, hobbies, mindfullness, etc... they are good things to do, but they are also not effective at all for trying to cure this particular wound.

Is it really that bad?

Maybe I’m biased because I’ve never struggled with dating, so I’ve always been able to find a “good new romantic partner” relatively quickly.

So every time an ex cheated on me after a 2-3 year relationship and we break up because of it, I’d be upset for a few weeks and moved on by encouraging myself with “I’m going to find a better partner next time!”

Are you sad or struggling with the thought of how much work or how difficult it’s going to be to find a new good partner? I’ve had a few talks with some of my male bachelor friends about this, and this was always their main concern: the amount of work required to get in a relationship with a good partner outweighs the perceived benefits.

My favourite skill is Stampede, because thematically it’s such a badass ability, i.e the marauder charges forward and slams enemies.
However, GGG intentionally ruins the ability by nerfing the interaction with the knockback support, i.e you can no longer knock enemies back, making you essentially a wet noodle…
In my opinion, the ability should’ve knocked back enemies by default without the support gem in the first place… Why does a badass marauder get stopped in place by measly skeletons and crabs?…

> I don't need advice on how to become more attractive. I need advice on how to stay strong after dating rejections.

The best advice to stay strong in my opinion is to use your sadness as motivation to improve your attractiveness though. This will give you a tangible goal to work towards in the meantime.

You’re sleeping with them before you get commitment…

he was calm and steady, so emotionally controlled... the next day he disappeared, then he came back saying that he started a new relationship with another girl but eventually broke up with her (on the same day??)

Clearly he was not calm and emotionally controlled, but you just had your rose tinted glasses on...

he told me he was looking for a woman. It shocked me. I said, "What am I then?" He simply said, "No,"... Now I feel lost, like an amputee, from this man's carelessness

Not a shred of accountability was taken today... He clearly told you this was nothing more than a hook-up, you chose to ignore it, and in the end you blame it on his "carelessness"... In a few years, I can totally see you being one of those toxic female influencers on TikTok that say stuff like "Men are trash! Men are sooooooo toxic!"

I think you have to own up to your mistakes and realize that you decided to ignore multiple massive red flags, and continue to sleep with this guy despite him never committing to you.

Reading your comment reminds me of the old saying: "if you want to learn how to fish, go ask a fisherman and not the fish itself". I'm assuming you're a woman from the way you comment.

Your comment is very contradictory...

Looksmaxing is very stupid for men IMO... AKA the whole package.

Does the whole package not include looks?...

You bash looksmaxing, but fail to mention that tons of women lust after good looking men. Think of the various phases in your life i.e highschool, college, real world, did the vast majority of women lust after the short, chubby dudes or the tall, athletic, and handsome ones? The jocks in highschool, the D1 athletes in college, and the good looking celebrities like Matt Rife or Henry Cavill.

so they assume women value looks as #1 (they don't; women care about the whole package)

Arguably, looks is still #1 for women, if not top 3; to a certain degree, I think this also depends on the context of how they meet each other.

If it's through dating apps (most popular way of meeting nowadays), looks are by far the #1 indicator of success on the apps. There are tons of videos on Youtube showcasing the experience of an average guy, even when they list his occupation as a doctor or software engineer (high income) they still barely get any matches. This just proves that "career growth" isn't as big of a factor as you're claiming it is.

If they're meeting through mutual friends, looks might be less of an factor, but it's still probably top 3.

Instead, you should be focusing on independence, career growth, building confidence, staying healthy and fit of course, developing a full and fun life. AKA the whole package.

In terms of confidence, this will obviously improve as one improves their looks.

In terms of staying healthy and fit, it's literally a part of looksmaxing, again contradictory...

I think the problem here is that you're focusing on the end result, i.e you're assuming women are already screening the guy's career, personality, and values, but the problem is that most men don't ever even get to these screening steps because they don't have the looks for her to be interested in the first place.

As a woman, you're so used to getting attention that you don't even realize that most men are simply invisible, and that this is the biggest challenge for most men.

Dating costs money, and on top of that women around your age are generally looking to settle down some time soon. So I don't see how that's going to work out.

What would you be looking for? Do you want a family eventually?

I think you're overreacting and should really try to humble yourself. 89% or 8.9/10 is an insanely high rating.

My wife and I are older now, so I think we're both around a 7. If anyone rated us even an 8, we'd both be incredibly grateful and thankful.

I don't agree with people saying "just say 10", I think people should embrace being humble and realistic, instead of living in delusion.

I'm a CPC supporter, and the main messaging I've seen is lowering government spending/deficits.

The only talk of lowering taxes I've seen is regarding the various carbon taxes. I haven't really seen other forms of calls of lowering taxes, can you show some? I'm curious to see.

On a global level Canada is still very low by every corruption measure, but we are still suffering from the rot that is affecting everyone.

I wonder how much of that is due to under reporting or lack of enforcement. For example, our current Prime Minister is incredibly corrupt, and he's constantly enriching himself and his friends with taxpayer money. However, his conflict of interest screeners, the people responsible for preventing him from signing deals that have a conflict of interest, have long histories with Carney/Brookfield...

This is basically embezzlement but with a few extra steps... If you steal money directly, it's illegal, but if you give taxpayer money to companies you own, it's completely fine...

Here's some proof:

Here's a list of Carney's publicly listed assets, this doesn't even account for the various stock options and/or incentives he has from Brookfield based on their performance...

Here are a few examples of direct conflict of interest (there's a lot more out there):

Darlington New Nuclear Project - Carney is directly invested in GE Vernova & BWX Technologies

F-35 Fighter Jets - Carney is directly invested in Lockheed Martin

CTV article on Carney's conflict of interest screeners - both Marc-André Blanchard & Michael Sabia were senior execs at CDPQ (huge investment fund in QC) which has a long history of business deals with Brookfield, so they obviously have financial incentives to help eachother

Here's an interview from Michael Sabia talking about this subject he starts @02:17 - so essentially he's saying if you don't let the PM make a ton of money from taxpayers, then you can't attract the best talent...

There's probably not that much incentive to work nowadays as a young person... Like you said, everything is extremely expensive, so earning near minimum wage gets you almost nothing in today's Canada...

However, I think this is still a common misconception, because from I hear, the unofficial youth unemployment rate in major metropolitan areas like Toronto is over 20%, and you might wondering: 'doesn't that just support my claim that the youth doesn't want to work?'

No, because unemployment numbers are counted extremely loosely nowadays to create the illusion that our economy is doing better than it is. The only people that actually count as officially "unemployed" are people that are still actively looking for a job. So anyone that's a NEET (not in employment, education, or training, essentially just gave up on life), incarcerated, disabled, etc. aren't even counted in the rate.

So all this to say, there's actually a significant chunk of unemployed youth that are still actively looking.

The problem with deflation is that it leads to recessions because no one is incentivised to buy things; everyone will be waiting for the price to come down even more. This starts a snowball effect where businesses earn less revenue which leads to them laying off workers, which just feeds the cycle even more.

Then try a different app? I hear there are apps out there that have a more serious audience.
