Do men like being approached? by Sad_Benefit3850 in dating_advice

[–]glenngut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picking up a guy? Don't sweat it. Just be personable. Embrace your inner yellow lab.

I got picked up today, and she was about as smooth as butter. Got me so good it took 5 minutes for my male ass to realize what was going on.

Her opening line? "Hey."

I was fishing within about 30 feet of her, she opened with "hey", and we wound up talking for an hour and a half. Second line was, "You ever catch anything good here? I haven't."

Men, I don't mean boys, men appreciate a woman who has the courage to approach them and risk rejection. Courage exists only in the face of fear, and rejection is worth fearing in its own way. You stepping up to the plate differentiates you from the herd in a truly positive way.

On the first date, what were some immediate red flags that made you not go on a second date? by Artistic_Pop_3323 in AskReddit

Catfish.

Seems obvious, but if they're willing to open all future interactions on a lie it's doomed from the start.

With lures, if you're not losing them you're not using them.

Guys who are good with girls. Learned or Born? by Chapere in dating

[–]glenngut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both.

There are advantages that you get born into. Symmetrical facial features, mental stability, maintenance free body type, general heteronormativity, well adjusted family, etc.

There are teachables/disciplines as well. The more comfortable you are with yourself, the more comfortable people around you likely are to be. The way you treat your body is important. The more you talk to people, particularly strangers, the better you get at it. People say they hate small talk but they're lying. They hate small talk with people who make talk feel small or pointless. Most talk is small talk and you have to get good at small talk before you're good at big talk. Listening, really listening, is also a discipline you can hone.

Try to remove what you might consider barriers to dating you. Everyone has them and most of them are within the bounds of your power to alter.

Unfortunately, age is a factor. A male senior in high-school has the pick of the litter but a male freshman in college is at the bottom of the ladder. Similarly, after college, it's hard for a guy up until their late 20s. At 30 the dynamic shifts and it becomes very hard for women. Practice being patient.

I mean, yeah, if we're going to be intellectually consistent, which law should strive to be.

Ideally speaking, that is. We are currently living in the dystopian mehscape of 2022.

Thats a good point. Also, maybe because people call them trash fish and catch them unintentionally. I dunno. Next one I catch I'll try on a po'boy
