The alternative to stop approaching women and interacting with them is you get nothing. The universe does not care about you. No one cares about you getting laid or not. So you have 2 options. You either put in the work with the cards you’ve been dealt with or you do nothing (and get nothing).

I've been there. You're not wrong but you're not right either. The universe is a shitstorm of chaos and you were randomly dealt the hand you have. You may have a shitty chance compared to others. Your chance might not even be worth trying but deep inside you know that the only thing worth achieving is the things you fight for.
What you need to do is pray for the courage to face the challenges and to see it thru regardless of how shitty your odds are. Because you're worth it, what you desire matters and you matter. So summon the courage and make the hard decision others wouldn't if they were dealt your hand.
Love yourself and put yourself first. Value your desires, respect them. Go for your goals courageously. Don't let anyone and certainly not yourself, tell you that your dreams are not worth pursuing.
The universe is a piece of shit arena which we were all born into without a choice. We play games with ourselves and other people. It's time to decide what game you want to play. Do you want to pursue seduction and be the best seducer you can be or sit it out? Either way one way or another, we are all dancing with the universe by choice or not.
Be courageous my friend.

Don’t try then I don’t care
The truth is nobody cares if you’re bitter and wants to give up on dating. You can come up with a million excuses and analogies and the situation still won’t change unless you do
The top tennis players never sat and thought how unfair it is there’s people better than them and how hard the game is to them, they went out and got better.

Getting laid and having a happy love life is wayyyyy easier than becoming a professional athlete. The vast, vast majority of people succeed in getting laid. Literally every single one of your ancestors did.
But if you want to make excuses and talk yourself out of it, that's on you, man. Nobody else cares if you decide to live a lonely life.

Society changes, but the math doesn't. Society is still pretty evenly split between male and female and they still pretty evenly want each other.

I'm pretty sure you're not approaching this conversation with an open mind, so I have no interest in continuing it.
I'm going to give you a chance to change my mind, though. If you are truly interested in getting outside feedback, take a few minutes to think about how I might respond to the numbers you presented. Are they verifiable from an unbiased source? Would they look different if we swapped genders? Do they even address the question at hand?
Make a genuine attempt to play devil's advocate. If you can do a decent job if that, I'll reengage and try to help you out of this hole you've dug for yourself.
[+]CaptainSaveBPD -7 points-6 points-5 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It is truly astounding to think simply because the ratio of men to women is close to 1:1 this reflects the dating market, relationships and sex.
If you think this is true, I will not engage further as I can not have a conversation with someone who lacks simple basic understandings of human behaviour.

Yes bro. Do it for yourself make memories along the way so at least you can look back and say you didn’t do what these other dudes did. Listen, failures apart of life but it’s about living for the next day to make yourself better. If your always heading in a positive direction bro you’ll find happiness along the way. But happiness isn’t the end goal is all I’m saying, neither is pussy. But some dudes will do anything to fuck pussy. I excel in the looks department and I’m a sweet 5’10. Trying to hard to get girls hurts my cause it’s better to just let life flow and you control you. Find yourself first though. Idk if I made sense but your effort is appreciated somewhere bro

The amount of sexual outcomes with women is proportionate to the amount of rejections, flakes and ghosting you will experience. You can whine as much as you want. Men who are "good" with women know that it's a matter of being calibrated + taking actions. It's a numbers game. Now, like I said, you either keep whining about your race, height etc or you take action. Just like the gym, you have to put in the work.
[–]CaptainSaveBPD 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (18 children) | Copy Link
Not denying it's a numbers game, but some men approach 5 women and get laid with them all other men need to approach 400 women.

Again not denying that but it makes me bitter. Dealt a horrible hand.
Also wealth is different to sex love and relationships. The latter is a biological need.
[–]LucianU 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Realize that feeling bitter about the fact that you were dealt a horrible hand is as absurd as being bitter because the dinosaurs disappeared.
It may sound like an absurd comparison, but both events are in the past and you can't change the fact that they occurred. What you can change is the course of your life from this point forward.
Accept the fact that maybe for a long while you won't find a partner. Consider paying for sex so at least you get to feel the touch of a woman from time to time.
In the meantime, make it a goal to do more things that bring you joy. This will lift up your spirits. You will be more joyful, more fun to be around. Also, it means you won't put all your happiness into finding a woman.
Work on feeling secure financially and physically (learn self-defence). People (women included) will feel your increased sense of security and start to feel attracted to you.

I think you're selling yourself short. I think what happened is that you've internalized more and more the principles you're talking about. And people (including women) have started to notice.
If you really accept loneliness, it's not something you *have to* change. Someone coming into your life is more like a bonus than a necessity.

One of these women told me she wanted kids fast. When I told her no and that wouldn't be a thing, I asked bluntly why she picked me. To sum it up, I clean up after me and am not a complete bum.
The other said they were past going out to bars and clubs and wanted some stability, which made me feel like the secondary safe option when people want some calm.
I still sum it up as lowering standards, and I'm not interested in being the name at the bottom of the list.

Just so we're clear, part of the work was to learn how to be happy with what I had, be happy and not to be bitter. I do agree with what the others redditors said, that you sound very bitter and that you should work on that, if only for your own hapiness.

Perfect answer. It’s what I tell myself. I have no choice but to try. A lot of people have it easier that me but that’s life and that’s the cards I’ve been dealt. In other ways, I have been extremely blessed (a loving family, stable career, healthy body). I accept what I’ve been given and try get the most of it.

Bitterness is the opposite of gratitude. To fight it, you gotta embrace the things your thankful for and strive to see life in a more positive light.
You wouldn't be here and you wouldn't be so frustrated if dating wasn't important to you, so don't entertain those "it isn't worth it" thoughts. That's just an ego defense mechanism speaking. It is worth it and you will succeed... if you focus your energy in the right direction.
[–]CaptainSaveBPD 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
1 - But at what point does gratitude not work? For example if your life is horrible, should you just be thankful that things are not worse? It seems like just a way of coping.
2 - At what point is it worth it though? If you're playing a game where the odds are extremely stacked against you, why play the game?
[–]Delicious_Ad_1853 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Yes, gratitude is all about being thankful for the things that could be worse.
You play the game because you want to play the game. Nobody is making you. You are the one that chose to start this conversation.

It sounds to me like you're hoping for too much at once. Also, that you've convinced yourself that you're not attractive to anyone without any concrete basis. You haven't tested your theory enough times to come to a conclusion.
I'm 5'8, half asian/white, some muscle, but higher bodyfat than I'd like. I don't have an issue pulling girls I'm attracted to. I have more success in person than online. I do have success with OLD, but at this point I've relegated it to something I do on the toilet, in airplanes, riding as passenger in a car, etc. VS anything I put serious effort into.
One of the things I've noticed about modern society is that we project onto the other gender what we would want in them. Meaning, women overvalue having a career/job title, degrees, etc. and think that men value those. Men, we assume that women value our looks as much as we do theirs.
I'd say that on the average, women care significantly less about looks than men. They care much more about the emotional experience you can give them, and value such as your intellect, security, resources, status, etc. There are absolute OGRES of men out there dating dimes.
That said. I don't know what to tell you other than you can only offer the best version of you - some will take you up on your offer and others won't.

Not sure what you want proof of. Just walk down any busy city street. Take a look at how many dudes that are less attractive physically than the girls they're with. An acquaintance of mine is 5'5 and 330 pounds, and has a 6'1 wife who's 140 pounds or so and not ugly. They met on an MMORPG. Not recommended as a strategy as the probabilities are LOW - but you really need to have your ear to the ground for opportunity.
[–]CaptainSaveBPD -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sorry but this is ridiculous
When i walk down the street the majority of attractive women are with men who are taller than me and of equal or higher attraction.
Yes exceptions do exist.
But where the hell do you live where you see all these ugly short guys with beautiful women?
I mean statistically that's not even likely studies literally prove most people end up with their looks equivalent or women with higher and men lower.

Being bitter doesn't do you any favors. When you talk to a woman, she can sense your insecurities because of the way you carry yourself and your mind game. You're setting yourself up for failure.
You need to develop a new mindset. Watch movies with actors who are short and not traditionally attractive, but they get women. Make Danny DeVito your new hero.
If women were only attracted to tall, super attractive men, men like Danny Devito would never get laid. Sure, he's a famous actor/producer/director, but there has to be some level of attraction.
There are plenty of nonfamous short, physically unattractive men who attract gorgeous women. Once, I was at a doctor's office and there was a fairly young man in a motorized scooter. In addition to his physical disability, he was average looking and overweight. His gorgeous wife/girlfriend was with him and by all appearances loved him dearly. He seemed like a very positive, fun guy. They were laughing together and holding hands. If I remember correctly they picked up a magazine and read it together. He would make a funny comment about an advertisement or something they saw in the magazine and just start laughing together. It was great to see and gave me ideas for something to do on a date or when I'm in a relationship.

I’ll give you some no bullshit advice:
Travel. Preferably get your ass out of the United States and go to some country where you can be placed at the top of the dating market just by being American ( Thailand, Latin America ).
Stay at the gym. You probably don’t have any real gains to show yet. If you keep at it, women will notice, trust me.
Finally, ignore bad career advice and find a way to actually make bank. It’s not a sin to be rich.
[–]incognito3107 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's definitely not worth becoming permanently bitter because of it. Dating game is one of the most shallow and rigged things in social life. You should stop exposing yourself to stories about "easy sex", oversexualized women's portraits and putting sexual affairs on life pedestal. You should improve your sexual attractiveness just to attract a good partner for you, that will mirror your sexual dynamics and be a good company for life circumstances. I believe most guys are capable of that, but some struggle too much with breaking seduction code with poor assets, which is definitely a waste of time.
[–]AncientSatisfaction4 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
if you're willing to make some big sacrifices to your personal life, there's a few more extreme measures you could take:
Following Peter Thiel's principle of 'competition is for losers' combined with the book 'dateonomics', you can move to countries/cities where you have a much greater advantage:
Many cities around the world have a high female to male ratio, and via supply/demand the "lower status males" are increased in status
The same principle applies to universities where it's 3 women to every 2 men, and is even higher ratios at some schools.
Different countries/states/provinces have different average heights. You could move somewhere where you're the average-above average height
There's hella short babes in certain countries. Going to a country full of short hotties also has the advantage of you being perceived much higher in socioeconomic status, which greatly increases a male's attractiveness
They have surgery that can increase a guy's height one to three inches by stretching the bones in their leg. Not sure what it's like, but it's an option
And, probably the most difficult. But there was a study done where a 5'6" guy was rated in attractiveness by women in comparison to a 6' guy, and it was found that for the 5'6" guy to become as attractive to the women as the 6' guy, he had to make $220,000 per year. After he made that income, he was perceived equivalently attractive. The study was ONLY measuring height, income, and perceived attractiveness though, so don't take it 100% to heart. It doesn't account for how being smart, funny, charming, dominant, etc. can improve perceived attractiveness
use shoe sole boosters for an extra inch and a half?
