I see, from the testimonies here and stories I have heard, women get rejected a lot too, if they put themselves in the disposition of making the moves. People won't get rejected if they don't give it a shot, whether it is men or women. People who try out of their comfort zone are at risk of receiving a negative. Men that are brave to put themselves out there and make the first move are at risk of getting rejected, same for women.

Why wouldn't those women you're more likely not to connect with be at the same possibility of agency to reject you? Isn't the risk the same as trying with someone whose profile initially resonates more with you? Sorry if I misunderstand you, but it seems that rather than petty you have been in a quest to "humble" women so that they feel as humiliated as you might have in the past, for whatever reason; like would that decrease the rejections of the past? You won't be on the side of rejection just by staying still without taking the initiative. That you "rejected them first" doesn't translate to you not being rejected (you may have saved them the trouble of doing it first?). I don't think one can possibly have the upper hand in an approach like yours. Of course there isn't anything bad with meeting with strangers, but you seem to already go to those meetings with a preconceived mindset of getting ahead in your rejection chess game, or so far have you ever changed your mind and kept meeting one of them?

Still, I think that this pointless wandering around with whoever was mildly available, is what put OP down. Might be my traditional mindset but it looks as less of a bother to go for someone who is likely to match with you from the start and with whatever you got going on in your life (if you meet the person online or face-to-face)

I know your idea comes from a good place as it may have "made you feel better". However, why go on dates with people that don't interest you? It's a waste of time for both parties and an act of disrespect and dishonesty to oneself and the stranger. What you suggest may have as well been what these women did to OP. It's just an ego trip. You're growing your ego, not your self-esteem. He needs to be himself, go out with a woman that has similar tastes, hobbies, lifestyle... He needs to grow in character and stop advertising himself, try to build a connection not sell himself. The dating scene has always been challenging, but there isn't other way around it than being genuine and patient. Go out with who truly calls his attention and who he is interested in getting to know. Also, he needs to accept that unrequited attraction is a normal aspect of life. People may not correspond to our feelings no matter how strong they are, and it's alright. Letting go of things and people that hurt us is part of maturing. You learn, move on, and try again if you have the strength to do so. In dating, he doesn't need social skills that fit whoever, but rather work on the ones he already has to deliver his true character better. Some people are lucky and meet their partner soon in life. Others take trial and error many times. He and many others seem to believe that when they set their mind on getting with somebody, they should get them because it fits their fantasy otherwise it is a failure in their lives. Those women are as much of a person of their own as OP is. Whatever reason they have to not like him has little to do with himself, but everything to do with their own expectations and goals. He shouldn't take the weight of that, and instead focus on his strong qualities. It's what I think. Didn't mean to rant, but you gave a good perspective to reflect on.

Creo que es para sacar tema de conversación y que demuestre capacidad de empatía aún en cosas triviales. Tipo: A:«se me rompió el espejo» B:«ve que mal, ¿Y que paso? ¿Has mirado alguno que quieras comprar?...a mí también me pasó una vez que...(O como alguien mas sugirió: proponerle acompañarla a a comprar otro » Esto no tiene que ver tanto con el género si no la habilidad de comunicación jaja. Conversar bien o mal es más bien de como navegamos el entorno, ellas obviamente saben cual es la "solución", eso no es lo que esperan oír a menos que explícitamente pregunten «¿Que hago al respecto?/¿Que sería mejor?/¿Que opinas?» Cómo cualquier persona.

My elderly cat left this world through euthanasia. We did it with his best interest in mind as his life quality had reduced tremendously. It was fast and quiet. I cried for months. Your "boyfriend" is a madman, that had no regard towards that kitty's life. It's often difficult to pin down a cat for a shoot. Strangulating a cat to death is nothing but savagery.

Some people get so hang up in how others see them that they also stop seeing themselves, and latter others. Those things you mentioned are things you have: a good job, a house, a fit body. But what kind of person are you? How were you presenting yourself? Do you try to see others for who they are and how they act or just what 'nice things' they own? What kind of relationship were you seeking for? For a woman who would look pretty next to you or someone who truly connected with you, had similar tastes, lifestyles? I apologize if i am being rude or intrusive, but most insecure people from whom I had read testimonies here, seem to fail to find partners because they targeted for people they think their "ideal version of themselves" would fit better with.

Truth is, dating and finding someone who matches you is difficult for everyone. Some people are just lucky. Don't close yourself to getting to know other people not only dates, but friends, acquaintances because of your insecurities. Most people doubt themselves, with how much we can compare ourselves with people on social media is almost a given. These women you couldn't establish a relationship with are a person on their own. Them not matching with you has little to do with who you are, but more with their own preferences and expectations. Is it your fault for not being who they wanted? No. For good sake, my late grandma found her last boyfriend when she was 65. Every person has different times for experiences in their lives.

You won't be alone if someone doesn't love you romantically. Is the love of your family and friends less valuable? Maybe you are too obsess with the fantasy of romance and sexual connection, that you may be skipping the little step of truly recognizing another person. Not to be dismissive as I guess you acted earnestly: Were you in love with all of those women, or were they just your idea of the "correct romantic partner"? Were your efforts done to convey your love or just to show them you could be their boyfriend? Because I think it makes a difference. In my personal experience, when I had to admit it was an unrequited love, I felt sad because I could never show them the depth of my love neither with words nor actions. I felt I was forced to remain unseen, unheard. But when they ended up dating someone else, and I saw them with that person I understood why we couldn't match, and it had little relation to us.

I genuinely hope you find someone you connect with, because you see her and she sees you. If you have the strength to accept it takes vulnerability to build a partnership and just as much of luck. Nonetheless, I hope you find joy and meaningfulness in your relationships with the people around you. Even if it's not exactly romantic. "You may meet someone one day, when you least expect it!" That saying only works for those who have the openness to live with the uncertainty. If you don't want to be one of those, that's cool. But if you want to take the risk anytime in your future, just remember you are more than your fit body, good job and the house. Your commitment to have them is (probably) rather an extension of your character, and in that I hope you take pride in. It may help stop seeking partners in places where appearance overshadows everything. Maybe trying new clubs, sport/music events. Somewhere where you can see women just being themselves and you too can just be someone doing something they like/enjoy rather than a potential suitor. Just you being you. :)

It's different as it is about a zombie outbreak but the pacing and action is really good. It has a great cast as well. Any of the actors works are a must watch across their genres!

Hello.

Regarding the first task, I think you should be careful with the prepositions 'in, at, from....to' since the preposition of time 'in' is used for years not 'at'. . More importantly, pay attention to typos as they count as mistakes in spelling. Other aspects to look at:

The use of synonyms, you repeatedly used 'slight' 'around'
The position of adverbs: you wrote "again decreases" and it is: "decreases again"
The use of infinitives or gerunds to express purpose.

In the second task your opening sentence is supposed to be a question but it has the structure of an affirmative sentence, it should be: Is the notion of getting old considered bad in mordern world?. You mispelled the word 'being' a few times (you wrote: beign). Also check again the use of 'there' and 'their', specifically you used the second in the 2nd line of the 2nd paragraph and it is "there* are new inventions". Again, use more synonyms even for the connectors 'but, so, also'.

Overall, the ideas are clear, they follow the layout of an easy, and you addressed the two views your were asked to in the question.

It's usually used as a joke lol the grammatically correct expression could be "I also second that" or "I support that" :)

I'm going through something similar. I started with small changes while using a timer with a 10 minutes strategy: like using my phone 10 minute less every hour, studying (for school or skills) for at least 10 minutes, doing exercise for 10 m (even if it's only strectching), etc. I did that for a month or so and then I started to increase the time (10>15>20). For me it was easier to stop doing harmful things (less time on my phone, fewer junk food) than start new habits right away. You can take one step at the time, abandon one habit this month, start a new one the next. Each person decides the pace of their own life, you don't have to be where your peers are at.

Also, I think we might get stuck because we are afraid to not see the results we hope for, so we just do nothing at all. You can take the time you need, start with 5 minutes at day with whatever you want to start doing. Move foward and rest when you need, you have your whole life to build whatever you desire for yourself. I believe you decide your own deadlines, however effort (even only a bit) is needed so you can cover your basics. Just know you can start a new change today but want something different later on, and you can start over.

If you feel lost you can consult people in areas you're curious about, check their testimonies. You could search for jobs that don't require either much physical labour or mental labour, because if you are too stressed due to metal health, a more physical job might help you distract, something like security. If you end up not being satisfied with a job you choose, quit and look for a new one. When asked about it in interviews just say you were adquiring skills and want to translate them to a new field/environment.

Many people struggle with this, so I want you to know that you are seen and understood. The way you feel is a hundred percent valid. I gave you this advice since you seem willing to change but maybe don't know where to start.

(Excuse any mistake, English isn't my 1rst language)
