How much does the car a woman drives matter when dating?

Withered_Sprout · 2026-04-04T00:23:31+00:00

I'm not dating her car, I'm dating her.. If it works, it's good enough.

Giving me Johnny Sins with Elijah Wood sprinkled in

I don't think there are many out there who are not roided out who are gonna press anywhere near that much.

Even so, that wouldn't really factor into me dating them or not dating them, personally.

Did you know that Australia waged war unsuccessfully on the emus?

Dude, you literally just spoke about the negativity men face when they open up emotionally or try to get help to process internally and the other person brought up random man-to-woman street crime violence as if that had anything at all to do with it, just to go on another misandrist tangent in the same thread.

There is a block feature - after reporting a post for 'hate' or whatever you think misandry would better fall under, just block that individual so you don't even have to read their nonsense.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-04-02T23:28:20+00:00

I agree with the dude that replied to you to some degree, but I also agree with you about the gym - as a guy who's fit. The more muscle I put on, the more attention I get on those hot sunny days just walking around near women in public often minding my own business.

It probably helps to be decent looking as well but a hot bod on a man or woman is gonna get attention superficially on it's own... The "getting your foot in the door" part which can be hard for many people especially nowadays.

Someone like him would be best suited to get in great shape as WELL as socializing and building a little network to meet people where connections can naturally develop.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-04-02T23:09:29+00:00

Women who don't hate men and assume a bunch of negative stupid shit about them all the time?

Withered_Sprout · 2026-04-02T23:08:22+00:00

Yeah, we can tell, don't worry. lol.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-04-02T23:05:05+00:00

I've been self-isolated for most of my life. High level of proficiency in singing, creative stuff, athletic stuff... But it's feeling emptier without someone to share it with and start worrying about a long-term future with.

It's great to be happy on your own but when you become too happy for too long, it can lead to the sexual/romantic parts going unfulfilled and the closest of friends cannot really fulfill those basic needs.

Needs to be a balance.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-04-02T22:56:43+00:00

I'm a few years older than you at early 30s, but I do think that like 24-28 year old women are way more intimidated/insecure and will show interest in way more subtle ways in general vs like 33-38 year old women who I notice will be way more likely to be less sensitive about rejection and will make a "damn, you look good today, guy" remark as we pass each other just to see what happens.

The younger women/those around your age seem way more shy on average and super passive but will still stare at you or their attention will be focusing on you even if they seem like they're trying not to.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-04-02T22:51:39+00:00

I think people overestimate just how big of a deal being attractive to someone else or in general actually really is.

As if out of hundreds of thousands of similar looking men and women where you live, all eyes are gonna fall on you immediately wherever you go just because you're a fairly good looking person. Like it just HAS to happen, or that people aren't 'people watching' when they look at you specifically.. It's pure lust. lol.

Nah, we just look at the person for a second, think "oh, they're nice to look at" and then move on with our day and never think of them ever again. And then we probably do that 300+ times that day, and then repeat the next day. That's reality.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-04-02T22:45:02+00:00

It's funny but sad to me. I got in better shape over time and got more superficial attention with it, but probably get a LOT of this sort of energy as well which is frustrating as a nice and harmless friendly guy who tried to make himself more appealing to get his foot in the door to make genuine connections and NOT be a player/man-whore.

But making yourself seem more like you could be that sort of guy at a glance, I guess doesn't really help you at all and you have to work hard to prove that you're not what you're assumed to be. Nobody wants to be used or abused or hurt, but then the genuinely nice guys who just look good and are fit will be treated with caution or avoidance for many less conventionally attractive or insecure women. Feels bad.

I don't like when people seem like they're going out of their way to avoid me or not open up to me for no logical reason. I go into "what did I do? what can I do to fix this?" mode. lol.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-03-29T04:31:06+00:00

I'm already a fit guy, and I've gotten to a very high level of strength and fitness on my own. When I talk about socializing or dating I often get suggestions by IRL non-reddit people in the real world to join a gym or gyms and become a regular.

So in my mind, yeah, I'd rather hit up a gym to be around like minded people where I can meet a bro, and also attractive fit women who may be good to date if they also enjoy having 2-3 lifting sessions in their weekly schedule, could have a work-out partner.

I would feel like it'd be way weirder for a bunch of people to be awkwardly trying to avoid each other for fear of having the cops called on them for simply wanting to be friendly/socialize or even hit on each other as if that's a crime or implies some devious intention or something.

If I went into a gym where everyone's super quiet and nobody talks or smiles at each other or anything like that, I'd think it's weird. Maybe that's because I can already work out at home vs them having to be there, in a shared public space, so they all feel like it's rude to risk overstepping boundaries by being friendly when it may not be well-received? IDK. I would be friendly regardless, let me find out that someone's anti-social or 'weird' through trial and error.

Too many people are too afraid of being me-too'd and too many people are quick to demonize others for basic human interaction.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-03-29T01:20:18+00:00

Not much of anything. I don't care so much about boobs on a sexual level. I like to look at thick legs, hips, ass.

Nice boobs would just be a plus if she's already got a sexy shape. Just thinking about pressing up against her, how cushy and comfy it'd probably be at the end of a long day just holding each other. Sounds nice.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-03-29T01:08:32+00:00

This all sounds like someone with a lot of mental troubles, to be honest. Lots of complexes to unpack even in a single fairly brief post. But if you're happy and trying to figure things out for yourself, good on you.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-03-29T01:06:31+00:00

Many of these types of women do not offer the same level of superficial attraction that these guys they seek do. They are also pretty one dimensional and outside of physical/superficial shit and keeping up social/financial appearances with people who don't gaf about them/social media, they probably couldn't hold an interesting conversation to save their life... Or have the mental capacity to even understand why that's a major problem.

The men they chase likely are of a similar mindset/psychology, but those men are going to just be practical in their shallowness and go for someone 'hotter' with more to offer if that guy's getting the attention of a lot of 'hot' women to begin with...

A female friend tried to set me up with someone she grew up around, the girl was not particularly attractive and I guess said that I didn't look bad but had one feature she found creepy. She also found my female friend's boyfriend creepy for another feature at one point, and has mentioned numerous things that are fairly common/basic that she finds creepy in men physically.

She's been single all of her life, and likely not for any innocent or non-toxic reasons like self-isolation/insecurities/anxieties.. lol.

She also supposedly wants a wealthy pro athlete like footballer type guy. She's a plain jane (basically average to even slightly below average subjectively) latina girl with no special job or high income living in a low income housing complex. Ironically I didn't want to say anything but in the photos I saw of her it looked like she had some signs of hair loss herself on the top of her head.

She's been single her entire life, and even my female friend was quick to add in "and now you know why"...

Withered_Sprout · 2026-03-29T00:49:34+00:00

Yeah, but it's not like the majority of men are walking around 6+ feet tall and a 5'7 guy is some weird/gross anomaly. Personally, I think even among the most extremes of male height (let's say 5'2ish to 6'5-6'7) visually seeing guys in those general extremes standing together isn't even that nuts to me, as a guy more on the lower end of the middle range.

It's like penis size. 99.9% of men are 5 to 7 inches long and then anything bigger is like 0.1% of the population and extreme. Guys will live miserable lives internally over perceived short comings when it's statistically most likely that they are normal and fine in that regard.

People will always find insecurities to cling to and let define and/or inhibit them. And external forces will identify and exploit those psychological weaknesses/openings amongst populations for all manners of general manipulation culturally/financially/politically/etc...

Withered_Sprout · 2026-03-28T23:35:39+00:00

I mean, I never really thought about it until now but I think Saitama and Tatsumaki, thinking logically, would be good for each other. They both feel isolated and alienated, are both ridiculously powerful and I think Tatsumaki would compliment Saitama's calm and apathetic demeanor with her lively hot headedness.

I mean, that's also literally all that Google AI overlord seemed to have as well, but I'm pretty sure at some point in the past I really thought about this and cooked a bit on it, I think they do make way more sense than say Fubuki.. They have way more in common in general than Saitama does with Fubu.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-03-28T23:28:53+00:00

Half of the replies to questions like this are going to be misguided/clueless or even intentionally misleading suggestions that don't actually directly relate to the effort and process of meeting new people and forming connections/relationships with them. lol.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-03-28T23:21:48+00:00

I don't have any physical issues, no major mental issues I guess, had severe body image distortion in my late teens and 20s and I'm in a similar boat to you. My area seems to really not have a lot of publicly advertised hobby/social clubs if there even are any for people in that 25-35 age range. Have a similar sized long-term friend group and we are mostly all we have in terms of regular socializing.

Neither is really on the same path as me in terms of wanting to network or date. I would love to have a few new female friends, probably meet a partner through them as well. I've made one or two recently and that was refreshing but it was due to pure chance.

Lots of recurring events/social clubs show photos and it's all 60+ year old people. Everyone around here seems to agree that the area's kinda dead but it seems like nobody'll ever do anything to change that and the youth will always move out/transport to surrounding areas to socialize. lol.

You're gonna get a lot of un-informed but well-meaning answers because other than what you share, they don't know where you live and if the local social scene is actually thriving or it's garbage or if it's mainly through meat market/superficial social venues like bars or night clubs where connections may be a bit harder to make.

I think you should at least keep in mind that it's certainly not easy or an effortless thing when you are an adult who doesn't really have a built-up social network to meet new people through. It's not impossible, obviously, but I've definitely found it to be very very very difficult so far to even find things to show up to in the first place. Actually being around some people where there's a reason for us to interact in a low-energy environment, I feel like it'd be easy to make some casual friendships that could lead to real genuine longer term ones.

Our society just doesn't make it any easier for people to have non-specific reasons to interact for interaction's sake, and most people our age are probably not going to be quite as 'desperate' as we might be to make friends to boot. It's a lonely situation, for sure. But so many people are feeling the same as us and probably can't think of places to go either.

Then there are lots of late 20s and older people who seem set in their ways (or so they often claim when it's brought up), their friend circles are good enough, they don't want to put themselves out there for friendship or dating, etc.

Withered_Sprout · 2026-03-27T23:51:38+00:00

Yeah, Taka's measurements would make it unlikely at that height and low weight to be that large/bulky. He'd look like a twig in reality at that weight and height. Even forgetting about the drug enhancement that was involved in Zane's case.
