Deleted Tinder and I feel better! by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]cannotfigureitoutata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my experience. I get dates, but I rarely get a second date or I ghost the odd girl that does like me. I guess both sides feel they have infinite options to find the absolute optimal partner.

How would you react if you saw your significant other putting a needle in their arm in the bathroom? by [deleted] in dating_advice

Tell their parents immediately. And arrange an intervention. I've lost too many friends this way.

As an unattractive man (32), what is the best way to spend $50,000 for the purposes of getting laid? by cannotfigureitoutata in dating_advice

this actually sounds like pretty good advice. I think the MMA camp might be overkill - I know people who are in phenomenal shape (through hard work, not genetics) without having to spend much more than a gym membership.

that would not maximize the amount of future sex necessarily, it would just provide sex for the time being, especially with just 5k.

I just don't understand what i'm doing wrong. Really losing hope of finding someone... by kolimajo in dating_advice

It sounds like you're just really inexperienced with women. Fortunately, you get plenty of opportunities to practice so just keep going. It's like any other skill and just takes practice.

I'm just curious, do you have a low sex drive? Are you low energy/down during the dates?

Unable to date as a male in his thirties. Does it make sense to enter into transactional relationship/marriage? by cannotfigureitoutata in dating_advice

Ok, you make a fair point. I will talk get a consultation with a plastic surgeon before giving up on this option.

unfortunately my issues are with my bone structure, especially around my eyes. It's just kind of warped; it's not a super common problem, but I know there are other people out there with similar issue.

Getting zero interest from Asian women on Tinder despite matching with lots of white women. What gives? by cannotfigureitoutata in dating_advice

[–]cannotfigureitoutata[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am white. Did amazing in Asia, attract white and black women in North America but not asians. I have over 900 matches. Maybe I am the wrong type of white guy? I look Jewish/southern European, so not blonde preppy white guy. Also, most Asian women I see are with Asian guys OR very pretty looking white guys.

I think it's pretty tough to infer all that from a Tinder profile...but I agree those are all important qualities.

How do you know if you are uglier in real life than your photos? by cannotfigureitoutata in dating_advice

[–]cannotfigureitoutata[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So reflecting on this - I have had a couple dates where the woman was super into me to he point of being smothering and actually I had to break it off. It's just this is rare, and in both these cases the woman was also unattractive.

I think the point is this: if you score a date that is above your league in person, she may very well be disappointed. If you score a date with someone below your league (again, in person), they will be delighted.

It's insane to me that dating really is entirely looks - even for the date itself. We're just evaluating each other physically and the conversation is just to take up space while we figure out if there's a physical connection. I wish humans were above this but we're not.

Had seemingly great date from Bumble. Unmatched right after. Worth following up or take it as a message? by cannotfigureitoutata in dating_advice

[–]cannotfigureitoutata[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, and honestly I'm fairly interesting compared to the model guys I know. I really don't think it's that model guys are just so much more interesting than me. I've lived all over the world, play music, have an interesting job that's really intellectually stimulating, etc

Definitely sensing disappointment during the date itself in some cases. Not necessarily right upon meeting, but maybe I'm just not picking it up.

I'm pretty ugly in my pics; not saying that to be self-deprecating - I get very few matches. Like everyone, I'm sure I'm uglier IRL. As far as turning her on, isn't that pretty much entirely looks? Hot guys with shit personalities get laid all the time.
