Has being on this subreddit improved your dating/romance life?

Letitgopls · 2025-05-09T09:52:23+00:00

I think as a man you need to be a little bit naive about love otherwise you just stop trying alltogether. Places like this, blackpill etc. don't help

NiaNia-Data · 2025-05-09T04:36:19+00:00

My life has not, and neither has my dating life. I didnt expect it to because this really is just a dating advice sub with extra steps and dating advice has never worked for me. But I find the insights interesting and I care about the issues.

WanabeInflatable · 2025-05-09T06:47:55+00:00

I don't think it is intended to improve dating lives.

But my life in general improved a lot when I moved and started living separately from family. I have an empirical proof that woman is just not necessary for happiness

Substantial_Video560 · 2025-05-09T08:52:58+00:00

No but it has confirmed long had beliefs.

Downtown_Cat_1745 · 2025-05-09T10:30:37+00:00

I was married and I’m still married

Aromatic-Following98 · 2025-05-09T15:34:40+00:00

It just keeps me from being too red pilled. It also reminds me of how moronic people are at default when one of them accidentally wants in here

TinyFlamingo2147 · 2025-05-09T16:22:44+00:00

My girlfriend and I like laughing about and discussing stuff I see on here. So I'd say it improved it in that way.

HighestTech · 2025-05-09T06:40:50+00:00

I stopped to behave as people pleaser and that reduced my options as people like to be treated that way but improved my self-esteem and mental health overall.

champion_azure · 2025-05-09T06:44:34+00:00

I don't see how it could.

BlueMountainDace · 2025-05-09T13:29:30+00:00

This sub has made my romance so much better because I can appreciate how unlike most of the people on this sub my wife and I are.

Fun_Push7168 · 2025-05-09T14:48:00+00:00

I had a gf, now I have 3.... Idk if that's an improvement or not.

Feeling_Ad_1034 · 2025-05-09T20:05:18+00:00

No, this is for entertainment.

But TRP back in the day undoubtedly did. So. There’s that.

AdDelusional39 · 2025-05-12T14:18:13+00:00

To be honest, this sub kind of pushed me into MGTOW territory. I've had some success with dating, but after lurking here for a while, some of the posts here helped me figure out what went wrong with my dating life.

I don't hate women, but this sub has really made it hard for me to be attracted to them in terms of personality.

Friedrich_Friedson · 2025-05-09T07:58:51+00:00

It has neither improved nor worsen it,it hasn't affected it. And why would it anyway lol

PrizeOdd109 · 2025-05-09T17:36:02+00:00

Directly: "NO",

Indirectly: Maybe.

DankuTwo · 2025-05-10T22:45:13+00:00

Honestly? Yes. It has helped me deal with a somewhat anxious attachment style and has reminded me to not get carried away.

For all the BS here I’m pretty sure that without PPD I would’ve already fucked it up with the girl I’ve been seeing.

Mysterious-Device392 · 2025-05-11T12:46:17+00:00

No cuz im fat so i've largely just not tried cuz rn its currently over for me

Maybe once I get jacked again though.

floracalendula · 2025-05-11T23:35:49+00:00

It actually has? I am not as intimidated or hung up about dating as I was; I'm not as precious. I've been encouraged to let whatever happen that will happen.

AsturaeConiecto · 2025-05-13T13:21:20+00:00

If you're here for that reason then you're not here for the right reason. We debating here.

wtknight · 2025-05-09T19:00:21+00:00

Yes. I tell my wife about the men on this sub and the kind of things they say and it helps her realize what a catch I am.

No, but I also didn't expect that. However I was pointed out in the correct direction by a user on some supplements for hormone regulation for my missus.

It is said that laughter makes you fat. So I probably also gained 2kg or so from being on this sub. It's literally free entertainment.

Reasonable_Style8214 · 2025-05-09T11:23:15+00:00

There's a tiny minority of people here that give good actionable tips - I actually implemented some of them and it improved my results, e.g. I used "situational" beach pics instead of "vain" shirtless pics. Unfortunately I think those people got banned or they just deleted their account or something because it's been a while since I last saw them.

ThatsWhatSheVersed · 2025-05-09T14:25:58+00:00

Ok was a bit skeptical about this post but the replies are so wild, turns out it was a great question! 😅

SandBrilliant2675 · 2025-05-09T20:51:17+00:00

This isn’t really a dating advice sub, in my opinion. It’s just a place I come to read opinions and perspectives from individuals that I am not normally exposed to.

Being already familiar with misogyny and misandry, that has not really changed. But it’s increased my awareness and empathy to issues that predominantly effecting men, when those sorts of topics pop up.

harmonica2 · 2025-05-09T23:27:55+00:00

I didn't discover this subreddit until after I was already in my current relationship. But I see how some of the input could help.

Suspicious-Candle123 · 2025-05-10T17:29:37+00:00

My dating life is fine, it never has been the issue. To me, the general social discussion and lack of concern for male's issues are the problem. I dont want men to be demonized for being born wrong.

Anon_cat86 · 2025-05-10T19:01:37+00:00

that's not why i'm here

empireofadhd · 2025-05-11T00:09:44+00:00

Not dating perhaps but it’s nice to have a place where people think about the same things I think about. I’m older and single and have failed miserably to meet someone. When I was 35 I bought a sex doll. All my peers and old friends have married and started families including my siblings. I feel like an alien. Subs like this makes me feel a little bit more normal.

SwimmingTheme3736 · 2025-05-12T18:30:50+00:00

No my relationship was pretty perfect the. It’s pretty perfect now

Acrobatic-Writer7734 · 2025-05-14T08:35:38+00:00

Dating no I'm spoken for lol.

But mental health yes. It's nice meeting the crazy at a place where they are somewhat receptive to new ideas and communicating their own wiring and vulnerabilities.

It help us all heal really.

Schleudergang1400 · 2025-05-19T17:33:29+00:00

This sub prompted me to read and research about a lot of topics that helped me get a better model of reality and about myself, as well as the competition, and my target demographic regarding casual sex. Better models/understanding lead to better dating/romance outcomes, as i am in a position to manipulate them towards that goal.

United_Iron369 · 2025-05-11T22:31:46+00:00

The only men with dating problems are either short or ugly. Nothing will change that.

PlainTundra · 2025-05-09T06:53:29+00:00

It hasn't. I had a gf and I'm still with her.

G4M35 · 2025-05-09T11:12:00+00:00

YES! I am happily married, and by reading PPD I am even more happy to be married and be married to my wife.
