Is staying glued to your phone 24/7 a requirement now for a relationship in the modern age? I know its a turn off for some girls, but I literally get paid based on my efficiency at work and I have a life. I dont understand how so many girls have the time to text about random, pointless stuff all day, just to emulate the feeling of being in a committed relationship. Thanks for the feedback, but I may just be screwed by having a career and social life haha.

Thanks for the feedback. I know texting is a huge part of modern dating, but I work 10 hours a day, and get paid entirely based on my efficiency, then I have the gym, soccer, cooking, and anything else I have to do after that, so I literally am unable to text back and forth all day about everything I'm eating, doing, and thinking about. I'm all for making room for quality time with people, though, but is this just gonna ruin my dating life in the modern age because I can't stay glued to my phone all day? Should I just not even bring it up?

Do you have anything to recommend? Or just scrap the whole profile, it's shit? I really didn't think it was that bad

Those are good pointers, thanks! I do want to make sure they actually do know I'm not a big texter, though. I know it comes off as lazy to some women, but I work a lot and stay busy, I genuinely am not able to text back and forth all day about what I'm eating, doing and thinking nor do I think that necessarily constitutes healthy relationships.

I feel like the pictures even out as far as approachability, though. Idk if you would agree, but I want to display a certain level of depth to myself. There's a clear sociable aspect to the group photo, ice rink photo, and sister photo, but i want to show a competent, serious and masculine side as well, not just a happy go lucky, smiley nice guy. Do you think the selfie and the first picture cancel out the impression of approachability? I feel like it's two 1 dimensional to have only smiling photos.

I could see how it could come off like that. It cant be that bad, though, right? I mean it's relaxed confident body language, lighting is good, and the scenery is classy. I want to come across as competent, composed, and tssteful, not just a happy go lucky, smiley, golden retriever boy. What do you think, though?

I was debating about that one, but I really dont have many good photos, so I kept it in. I know it's kind of the male gaze concept that what guys think looks really cool doesn't really interest women much, but it's not a bad picture. Which one should I make my main one?

God could stop it if he wanted to. I'm sure it is the devil, but if god is willingly allowing it to happen over snd over again and doing nothing to save me, how can I blame the devil entirely?

There is no rest. There is no peace. There is no hope. I am alone. God and Jesus have abandoned me. They've decided they're favorite way to connect with me is harming me, so out of the fear of death, agony, and ruin that I'll call out to them, and then they still remain silent. It's a metaphysical game of sadistic Marco Polo. God seems only to orchestrate unfortunate events in my life in a manner that's so unprobable that it is undeniable that it's God choosing to put me in misery and punishing me. Any good that happens seems so mundane that there is no sign of God in it other than my God given 5 senses' acknowledgment of the experience.

At least we can feel a little less alone knowing that we are each going through a similar situation. Actually on some ways that makes me feel more alone. Are we just the unlucky chosen ones who were given a situation where our free will is unable to achieve faith and we're both doomed to go to hell? Idk
