Am I a complete moron...?

Do some introspection and figure out if you're using online dating as a crutch to mask poor social skills. If you are it's a sign you need to approach in the real world more often.

Do Tinder and say the most ridiculously alpha shit you can think of. It's good practice for learning what to say and not caring about the results.

I got a Tinder date the other day from just being forward. Skip all the w questions until you physically meet.

the problem with online dating is that both sides are almost solely at the mercy of physical appearance. one look at your/her profile thumbnail is all it takes for them to make up their minds. i consider myself to be slightly above average on the attractiveness scale and even then it was like disarming a bomb to get even one reply a week. if you're not her type physically, she moves on.

and the joke you hear about people posting old photos of themselves was damn true for the two dates i managed to get. they were so post-wall that it just shot the whole night to hell.

You're not a moron, but need to get over the fear of rejection. I know it's tough to get going, but just start doing cold approaches. It isn't that hard to learn. You get over the fear quickly. Go out by yourself so you don't worry about friends judging you and just talk to some girls at the bar. It really isn't hard.

The way I look at it is cold approaches are like hitting a baseball. If you fail 70% of the time you go to the hall of fame. You will get rejected, the key is to not give a fuck.

The difference between you and all the guys that pick up girls is they don't give a fuck. If they get rejected it's because the girl is a lesbian, why else would she not want it?

Fitness: Squat - 225 Bench - 225 Deadlift - 315 Overhead Press - 135

Get to those figures, and you'll be happier with your own situation...well shit your last sentence covers that.

My whole take comes from the perspective of being more Batman like. How for his first ~25 years, he spent time honing his skills outside of girls. Not trying to rationalize eating pizza on the weekends and playing video games. But it feels like most guys are trying to fake being awesome, when instead they should actually become awesome in their own eyes.

Online dating is great, if you don't mind fucking lazy fat chicks...

I'm betting you do get choosing signals when you're out, you're just too far in your own head to notice them.

Unless you are in the top 10% in looks and over 6' forget about it.
The SMP is fucked up online. Men are at a severe disadvantage because of all the AFCs flooding these hambeasts inboxes.
