Dating is fun when you have an abundance mindset and your purpose/your happiness comes before anything else. You need to dive into some Patrice O’ Neal it’ll give you a different perspective on dating and women that will not make you resent them. That’s just the way the world works.

Never thought I would find Patrice o Neal mentioned in this sub,
I listened to his interviews and participation in radio shows about dating

I feel I will still be bitter though that I have to read a bunch of books and find my life purpose to enjoy dating whereas women don't have to do any of that.
[–]Mriconicdev 52 points53 points54 points 4 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
You have it backwards man. You don’t do any of that shit for women you do it for your self to be happy whether you have women or not. Women are by product of you being on your purpose. Check out Patrice O’ Neal on YouTube man it’ll change your life

Ok you're right about finding purpose. It's beneficial outside of women.
Still though, how do you not get annoyed on dates that you're putting so much more effort than the women you're dating but they are getting way more success.
[–]GrandRub 25 points26 points27 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
dont put "so much effort" in dates with people you barely know.
go for a walk, have a coffee, watch a movie - invite them to do something you like to do.
[–]jamezgatz8 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Literally this. I just want some company along for the things I already do. I wanna watch venom two for example so I’ll just try and set up and arrange a date for that. Instead of my motivation being sex driven or relationship orientated it’s just casual fun and I’ve found it works wonders for my psyche and my dates.
[–]Mriconicdev 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
It was annoying for sure once discovering thats how dynamics in dating worked but once you develop an abundance mindset with dating you could care less.
You don’t really have to put much effort into dating when you level up women will chase you.

Not every guy has read books on game and I bet there are lots of women who've bought like relationship oriented self-help books. That being said I get very mad at dating apps like why do girls on Bumble even bother swiping right when they don't talk at all or send literally one message. That's the theme on my Tinder profile too when I get up to like 10 convos where I get no reply I delete my account and start over. Like fuck it's like they are trying to make you mad. And I know I could never be a psycho and be like WHY DID YOU EVEN MATCH ME?! But ya could never do that but it's like goddamn I just sit there and fall in love with their pics, these ladies I'll never see. FUUUUUUCK I'm havin a rough one boys
[–]fats05 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

[–]never_on_time 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Lol thanks g I needed that. I was legit so bummed walking around tonight. I even had the thought like how it would go if I just asked every cute girl 'hi can I have a hug' cause I do fucking need one but from a cute girlHaha. I was legit hanging out with a fine ass bitch last week. We hung out once and I wasn't rushing anything cause I thought we'd have more time but ya didn't work out...I didn't even kiss her on the lips but I was in her bed overnight while she slept(had like basically opposite when schedulesi wasn't tired at all. And I was nervous and hyped up over how attracted I was to her) and cuddled her a bunch. She put my hand on her tit at one point. She also bit my arm Wally hard and it left a mark for a week so I was staring at that after she already ghosted. She kissed my arm while I had it around her for cuddles. She called me daddy right before she went to sleep. Had one other girl call me daddy before and it wasn't nearly as hot. Omfg I hate life sometimes. Sorry for the novels

You are a fool if you are a male using dating apps. It's a trap and you should have learned to stop using them given the abject failure most men have. You deserve all the misfortune you get until you figure this out. It's called negative reinforcement

Lol I didn't buy her anything, she invited me over cause her neighbours were being sketch. I was her security. But I got to get her up and cuddle her. She put my hand on her tit! But ya we had like opposite with schedules anyway. Prolly wouldn't have worked. And she has a kid..

Bro women put in the work and read books too. Dating isn’t easy for women as most men who message us aren’t looking for something serious, and even if they are, many are manipulative, controlling, and abusive. Can women get laid easier? Sure, but that’s not what most women want. Finding your forever person is just as hard for women as it is for men.
You may need to take some time off of dating and find some personal happiness and joy, because women can tell if you resent them and it’s not fair to them to take out all your pent up anger on.

Women need to literally do nothing except not be morbidly obese.

No guys are going to just marry a stranger. If men are constantly leaving you, it's a you problem, not them.
Finding your forever person is just as hard for women as it is for men.
No, this is complete bullshit. It's hard for women because they make it hard and are all competing for the top 20% of men.

From your post, it seems you believe the woman is the prize and your job is to convince her to like you. If this is your mindset, you're going to have a hard time dating.
The truth is, if you do a good job cultivating a good personality, live an interesting life and improve your appearance, you'll find women will take some, half or even most of the initiative. I have a girlfriend and during the dating and pre-dating process, she probably did 60% of the work.
Don't ever believe woman won't take initiative. This is 2021. Some are more aggressive than men. If you don't find girls ever take initiative towards you, you have to work on yourself and be better.
[–]fats05 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Isn't most of this sub on advice of trying to convince women to like you. Like most of the posts is about taking initiative and showing confidence and having game. But girls don't need to have game. If your version of dating is real though, I don't mind working on myself like that. I want to do that anyways. I just don't want to master 'game'. Sounds stressful and exhausting.
[–]jsbach123 29 points30 points31 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
HELL NO. The seduction process also means you make yourself attractive so they come to you or at least get them to be receptive to your advances. Nothing about this sub requires you to supplicate yourself to women and beg her to like you.
[–]Kareem_W 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
In my opinion I think it’s all about having fun, and not limiting yourself based on the fact that you want to level up and working on yourself whilst partaking in dating. I say this because a relationship can actually be very healthy when it comes to building yourself up as well!
Sincerely,
The player who doesn’t play

Of course they do. There is a reason you want to approach some women, and want to spend time with some women and not others.

Be outcome independent, find abundance, and try to fully digest the true nature of things. That's all you can do. Being angry is counter productive
[–]Calamity__Bane 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I felt this way when I treated it more like work. Now it's more like play, and I'm less concerned with getting to the end goal and more concerned with how much I enjoy the process. It's really hard to get bitter if you focus mainly on enjoying each moment and leading things step by step, since the feedback you get is either positive, or being dealt with right away. If I'm not enjoying myself, something is wrong.
[–]fats05 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Given how much work you have to do in dating though and the fact that she is nothing for you in reciprocation, is it fun?

you dont have to do any "work"...
you have to be interesting and text for a bit - and ask her out to some low-key date to see if you both click.
no work involved.
you have to BE interesting .. if you have to ACT like you are interesting... yeah then its work... but then you shouldnt date - you should work on your own life insteadt.
[–]3Equilibrium 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Because women want the best guys they can get and men want the best women they can get. Women are just playing the game as it is. They didn't create the game. Us men are playing the game as it is. Why get bitter at women, instead men need to work on themselves. I am successful enough at sleeping with average looking women, but I have recently hired a personal trainer every 2 weeks to get me looking less slim and bulk up.
I could have been bitter than most of the women I sleep with are less attractive that me and that I never sleep with HOT women. But instead I focus on improving myself. That mindset took a long time to develop though so understand being bitter.
[–]fats05 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I don't mind working out, women have to do that too. It terms of body attraction the work is equal. I'm bitter over having to do all the work socially.
[–]3Equilibrium 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Women have a lot of messages and it's hard for them to juggle them all. And then they've got dates from hell to deal with. If you speak to women who date you'll realise the incels on here don't appreciate how difficult it is for a women to find someone they click with well and are attracted to. And most women in real life don't have ridiculous standards. Hopefully you manage to not be bitter because it's not healthy. Step up and work hard to get what you want and embrace it.
[–]wallynext 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
what you are describing it's not true, some girls can be like that, but not the ones I choose, and I put emphasis on the "I" here, because we each are responsible for surrounding ourselves with the type of people we really want to.
You will search for people that validate your beliefs and you will find them. I have some basic requirements/standards that the girls have to have for us to go any further and it's been working out great and it filters a lot of people that I don't want to hang out with. One of those is communication, to be able to express one's self and their feelings in a mature way, and be reciprocate in communicating and putting equal efforts. and let me tell you I have been meeting amazing people.
in the end you are in part responsible for the people you choose to hang out with, be mindful of that, learn to choose better
[–]JakeMullerRE 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You got to learn to accept that this is how the world works. I used to be a bit bitter towards women too in my early twenties because of all the reasons you mentioned. However, as I grew older, met more and more girls, had more and more success with dating and created a good life for myself, the more this bitterness and also my ego subsided and the less I was focused on resenting women for having a seemingly much easier time in dating than us men do. Today I no longer give a fuck if a girl is way more successful in dating than me or if she doesn’t need to do much simply because I am on my own purpose now, build myself and generally like myself tol. That’s one of the best places to come from not just in dating but in general and it also makes you way more magnetic because girls love a guy who has his shit at least somewhat together.
I also want to add that you should stop comparing yourself to women as it is toxic to your mental health. Focus on you, create a purpose thats more important to you than women, learn to be authentic and masculine and the success with girls comes faster.

Sure there are women that are hot and attractive enough that they don't need to expend effort in their romantic life to find success, but there are many women that do not have that luxury. They get nervous about dates. They have fears and insecurities. They are embarrassed about their bodies in the bedroom. They complemplate the texts messages they send. Their boyfriends dump them and their hearts break. And it turns out, those attractive "entitled bitches" also share these issues once you get to know them well enough. As the saying goes "no matter how hot a woman is, there is a man out there that is tired of her shit." Doesn't it seem a bit ridiculous to draw upon your experiences with certain women and then judge literally half the population for it?
Another thing to consider is that attractiveness isn't limited to just women. Men can be extremely good-looking too. And as it turns out, attractive people just have it better in life, generally speaking. Yet, you don't seem too concerned that a male model looking motherfucker can walk into any bar/club and leave with a woman, or date whoever they feel like.
A third thing to consider is that you mentioned wanting to get into the dating world but it seems that you already have hangups and complaints before you have even started. Not sure how old you are or how many women you have actually dated, but here's a bit of life advice: the real world is more complicated than movies and this subreddit implies. Don't enter the dating world with a chip on your shoulder. Not every woman you date is playing games or giving "shit tests". Use the knowledge here to help prepare you, but don't go into every situation expecting a battle. Not only is it a disadvantage, but it also affects your mental health.
Speaking of which, at the end of the day, why would you even give a shit about the advantages and disadvantages that exist? How does it benefit you at all to hold bitterness in your heart? Why should you, a man, be sad that some random chick has 100 matches and you only have 10? What do you gain from ruminating on the male vs female constructs that exist in our society (which btw, men are basically responsible for creating the first place)?
I know you dislike the notion of having to read a book to see success, but I sincerely recommend Models by Mark Manson. I believe it gives a good perspective on the differences between men and women and also lays a foundation for modern dating.

I’m glad that someone on this sub mentioned this.
This is a genuinely good question and the “sigma” gorilla brain males of this sub don’t comprehend that your hope and spirit to find a cute girl dies when you constantly keep getting rejected on what seems to be an impossible uphill battle.
The reality is, the average girl is now connected to the top 10% of men through dating apps. This has never happened to our species before and it’s made it impossible for a genuine regular guy to find a potential wife.
For us to even be on the top 10% of men, we have to meet a million standards but in the end it doesn’t really seem worth it if you’re not getting the exact result you want like finding a dime or finding a genuinely good match.
What has worked for me is to find something that you care about more than girls, excel at it, and girls will go to you. Maybe not the Instagram models you want but more than before. Also work on having a higher status social group. A girl cannot be attracted to you if you hangout with losers. I know this is not easy tho. How tf is a young man supposed to find career driven men his age if 90% of people in general are not like that.
I’m the end, find out what you care about more than girls and that path will lead you to a higher state of mind where girls will want to find you. But if you honestly can’t wait to go through this hero’s journey to wait for pussy, go abroad. Mexico has a bunch of pretty girls who will be happy to talk to you and boost your confidence. They are way prettier and waaayyy more feminine. Good luck dude, don’t give up.
[–]_JasonX_ 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
From my experience hope to succeed in dating dies most when you reject yourself by chickening out of approaching, if you actually approach and get rejected you slowly begin to care less and therefore get more confident about it

[–]Cudder3000zz 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That's no what you said though. You said friends of "high social status". That may include the group you just mentioned but it also would include someone's more geeky friends.
Dropping your geeky friends because they're "holding you back" isn't just lame but also a good way to end up alone and sad
Ok I see what you mean. When I said high social status, I generally meant people that are liked by other people because they are social, have healthy habits, and have ambition for a better future. I didn’t necessarily mean shallow influencer friends.
My point is that if you have friends who have no future and are not helping you become a better you, you have to drop them.

Being a man has good things and bad things,as well as being a woman has them too. You are only focusing on dating. Yes women have it 20 times easier,but also have a very weak body and periods every month why are exhausting. Women also live with more fear because men want sex with them and if they want to they can get it. Also women don't like most men and have to reject most of them.
These are only a few bad things about being a woman,but if we take everything im not that resentful or jealous since they also have very big problems.

Meanwhile the girl can just sit there and be pretty and still find success.
There are a lot of beautiful women that are VERY unhappy with their love lives.
Dating is hard for women too. It's just a different kind of hard that fails in a different way.
[–]IGetBoredSometimes23 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
Well, it's important to keep things in perspective. Yes, it's easier for women to end up in a sexual relationship, but they also have to be more selective than men because they have to worry that the guy they go out with it going to rape and/or murder them (to say nothing of the risk of an unwanted pregnancy). We have rejection to fear, while women fear a man that can't handle rejection. Given the choice between being rejected by a woman and being stabbed by a man, I'll take my chances at being rejected.
Looking at your post and comment history, and you seem to be someone who needs a lot more than a date. You need friendships and a sense of meaning to connect you to this world. I'm guessing your politics lean somewhat left since you posted about Vaush, so look into joining a mutual aid group. You'll be able to meet people, form friendships, and have a sense of purpose.
[–]fats05 -5 points-4 points-3 points 4 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
The selectiveness isn't just about dangerous men its to weed out any man that isn't the best of the best it seems. And I just don't like that they hold us to standards that they don't hold for themselves.
Yeah I know I have a lot of problems in my life and dating isn't actually something I'm focused on right now. I just go on dating discourse subs sometimes when I'm browsing reddit and alot of things I see annoy me. Covid's still bad in my area so I can't socialize yet but I want to. To be honest I'm becoming misanthropic as you probably can tell from this post. I am a far leftist like you thought so I'll probably do some mutual aid.

I'm a working class man with a dad bod in a polyamorous marriage who has long suffered from General Anxiety Disorder. Trust me buddy, if they were looking for "the best of the best" I wouldn't be crushing ass 😂. Women have plenty of logical reasons to not be with me. Women sleep with me and fall in love with me because I'm good at making them feel safe, romantic, and horny.
Mutual aid will definitely help you have some faith in humanity restored. A lot of our problems are caused by the wealthy forcing the rest of us to fight each other for scraps. Mutual aid creates a dual power structure that exists outside of that economic system. It's better than any antidepressant, I can promise you that.

I just basing it on what I see people say here. That's why I was asking the sub given how much work we have to do. The posts act like we have to be the best of the best. We also have to master game and consider everything we say. So it seems to me women will lose interest if we ever make a misstep and show we lack confidence. And it seems like its all on guys to make dates go well, there's no work done by girls. Perhaps this sub is overestimating how good we have to be? Maybe you got lucky? Idk

Ahh, I get you. Yeah, the seduction world is filled with grifters. They always sell the same generic bullshit. Telling you to be an "alpha male" and whatnot.
All those dime store self help gurus are selling a psychological ideal that's impossible to have. The only way to meet the ideal image they create is to not have any psychological distress, ever. Even for "successful" people, that's impossible to do. It's a mind fuck on your self esteem, all made so they can get money. I might write a post on that some time.
It's okay to be depressed, anxious, and lonely, especially in these times. Hell, it's weird if you're not. It's perfectly okay to not be okay.
What I can tell you from the women I've dated is that they're nervous about blowing it, too. They also have anxiety and depression. Many have been told by their narcissistic parents their whole lives that they're not worthy of love and they believe it. So they show up to the date thinking, "This guy isn't going to like me. Why am I even here? I'm just going to get rejected again. I knew I shouldn't have signed up for Bumble." For many of the dates they've been on, that anxiety turns their fears of a bad date into a self fulfilling prophecy. It's on me to make them feel safe and worthy of love. I need to get them to trust me.
The whole "alpha male, unstoppable confidence" thing is bullshit and ultimately irrelevant to being successful with women. The only thing that matters is how you make them feel. They don't care if you're broke, unattractive, or living with your parents if you can make them feel good.

I know women get depressed and anxious too but for some reason they're less understanding of men who go through that and expect them to be confident. Its funny, what you just described what women will go through is exactly what I've been through. I grew with a violent narcissistic father and a mother who enabled him. They taught me I was undeserving of love and I believe them. But because I'm a man, I can't expect the women to help me through that. I have to be a confident and secure man, meanwhile women in my shoes can go find a man to comfort them like you.
[–]IGetBoredSometimes23 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
If you get yourself a good woman, they will help you through it. My wife is great at it. I've had more panic attacks than I can count around her and she's always helped me through them. I've done the same for her.
I promise that as you have more experience with women you'll find women that are genuinely caring and are willing to help you fight your demons.
I don't have much more advice to give. Look into mutual aid and ignore all the alpha male talk that goes on here. Take care.

Mastering game is not about learning verbal tricks to try to impress people. It's not about trying to become perfect or pretending to be so that people will like you.
Mastering game is about self-discovery, it's about consciously determining what kind of person you are, your likes and dislikes, what is important to you and what do you want in life? Once you can answer these questions, you will attract people that resonate with your values.
Once you have defined your personality, you have to also accept that some people will not like you. Your values will not resonate with everyone. That's okay! A good thing, even. You should not worry about trying to please everyone, especially as you say, the passionless, low-effort people you frequently encounter. You should not want to be with those people anyway. You should want to find your kind of people. But to do that, find yourself first.

I can imagine dating seems super exhausting when you're working on your "game."
You feel like you have to be "on" all the time, and if you fuck up, your girl will find a better guy.
Ugh so demoralizing!
And I don't blame you for thinking this way. Most guys, after they're disillusioned with the "just be yourself and girls will love you!" mindset flip and feel like they have to be on their game all the time or girls won't like them.
This, like the "just be yourself" advice, is partially accurate but not the full picture.
The way you have fun while dating is to just have fun.
When you're with your guy friends, do you feel you have to be "on" or they'll find better friends?
Sure the dynamics are different within a monogamous relationship, or even an open one. Your friend can have other friends too and it won't take away from your friendship, while if your girlfriend dates another guy, that's cheating.
So it's not a perfect analogy... but still. Do you feel you have to be "on" for your friend to stay your friend?
With girls - especially a casual relationship, it should be the same except you add in sex.
This takes a while to get to... essentially you've gotta do the hard work of working on your emotions. Feeling like you're valuable enough. Thankfully a lot of us on this sub have done that ourselves and can spare you some of the work.
"6 Pillars of Self Esteem" is an amazing book for this!
When you work on yourself, your body, your fitness, feel attractive, and have high self worth you'll naturally not care if a particular girl ghosts you. You just think "fuck her, she's a bitch. I'll go find girls who treat me right." and you go have fun hitting on other girls.
It's simple, but it's definitely not easy. The good news is that it's like a hill... after the hard work of getting up, it's easy to stay that way.
[–]Riioseco 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Dating should be fun. It won’t always be, but as you date you will find your style and even more important you will start dating girls that you like and like you just by the way you are. Starting isn’t easy at all, you will find bitches along the way but you will find girls like you who also want to have a good time. It seems like a cliche but there are just 2 things you should have in mind, be yourself and don’t be an asshole.

We have to do everything in dating, from approaching, flirting, escalating, keeping good conversation
By all means, if you don't enjoy doing these things, then it's not for you! (I don't like to pay either, but for a few drinks it's okay and I don't take someone out on diner for the 1st date).
[–]Ironic_Resting_Face 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Oh wow. Then perhaps you need to switch up which type of woman you are dating.
Idk how hot I am but have been told plenty. I prepare for dates, really try to put my best foot forward, I can pay for my part, make jokes, listen, laugh, share stories.
Rarely I meet these men that work so hard for dates, and only real desperate men bend over backwards for women that are acting like they are not attracted to you.
I see all my dates and a chance to get to know a new person. Lowering the expectations of the outcome would probably make you less bitter. I don’t expect to meet the man of my dreams. I would love to and I’m sure I will find love again.
[–]agaren 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don’t put women up on a pedestal. Anyone I date needs to reciprocate my efforts. If I’m putting all the effort into everything I will just stop doing it. If the girl likes me enough she’ll come back but they rarely do. It’s standard for the man to approach and pay for the first date, but after that if she’s truly into you she needs to put effort in. You are the prize, not her. If you guys sleep together she got lucky, not you. Keep that mindset and you’ll feel confident in yourself!
[–]dobbs1997 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
why do you even care ? for real, so many men have these same issues like “why do women not have to do this or do that, they just get to sit and look pretty”, wtf no they don’t. you can put women to work, you can put the women you meet through a screening process to see if YOU, yes YOU like them, it doesn’t always have to be the other way around..you’re making it too much about the woman, just go out there, start interacting with women & enjoy the process and the growth that you’re gonna experience just from simply talking to them & along the way you’ll have some good experiences. dating is fun but you have to have the right mindset and yours is extremely serious, almost like you’re applying for a job or something, nah man, go out there & fail, succeed, learn, grow..but first you gotta change the mindset, focus on what you want from women & go get it, have some standards too for these women you meet. they will just sit there and be pretty if YOU let them…also, you don’t gotta pay for shit lmao what are you talking about.

I like to just keep my faith in God. There is divinity in every individual. You just gotta find it inside and in others regardless of gender. Because at the end of the day gender shouldn't matter and it goes bith ways. I understand you feel like it is easy but idk very many women that have found the right guy or the attentionspan now to follow it through to the end. Going through dudes or ladies doesn't really help if you are looking for love.
[–]spicy_simba 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hey there buddy,
Your posts is charged with assumptions of what dating should be, what is expected and what is expected of you.
I am here to tell you that any activity you start in life can be perceived very differently depending on what kind of pre assumptions you go with about it
Example: I had assumption all my life that learning to bike is painful, that my knees will bleed and I will fall, this resulted in life long anxiety and not willing to be around bike discussions let alone invitation to learn how to bike. I genuinely thought I was born not to bike or enjoy biking.
Recently I decided to challenge my life assumptions by learning how to bike without thinking of what could happen, but rather saying "Lt me try and see what happens" just doing it and accepting all what could come, even I don't control it and trusting I will be safe, well little did I know, biking is now my hobby, and I did not fall while learning.
You probably have a lot of assumptions about dating injected in you, but these are not necessarily your thoughts and not necessarily valid thoughts.
You can be yourself while dating and I argue you should, you don't have to impress anyone, in fact dating can be perceived as "let me try and see what happens"
For me dating is about finding out if you match with a person or not, it's not about someone being better than another, it's rather about discovering if 2 people resonate with each other. In life everyone has specificities that makes him resonate with some people and not others, so it makes sense that with some people it will not work and that's okey, that's natural filtering.
My aim when dating is to have a good time, not to impress and not to be someone am not, and if it's not going well then it will make a fun story to tell my friends or at a comedy show.
I feel some people including me put dating on a pedestal as if it is the ultimate test of human value,
Its not, dating is like any other activity, like going for a walk, sometimes the weather is nice and you enjoy the walk, sometimes it's rainy so you get a bit wet and look forward to a warm bath at home, and one day you might see a rainbow. But in all cases you go home at the end, and it does not matter much in the course of a whole day,
[–]Think-Rope-6706 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Best thing to do right now is to just cut yourself off from dating and focus on what you want to do. The juice ain’t worth the squeeze at the best of times and if you’re feeling like this I’ve no doubt it’s literally going to destroy most chances you have. I know because I’m literally in the same mindset as yourself LoL. I’m trying to dig out of it by gyming it and doing Muay Thai

[–]JacobMoogberg69 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
What you say is true only for the top 20% of women who are young enough and good looking enough. Same is relatively true for the top 20% guys although they seem to be doing a lot better in the sex department. The sad reality is that you don't even notice 80% of women who are too old, fat or unattractive to even register on your mind. They simply do not exist for the majority of men.
The final thought is this. Women have only as much power as men give them. All that power you think pretty women have is just a bunch of men kissing their ass. They can easily take it away but they don't.

The dating aspect doesn't bother me so much. I'm more bitter how women can glide through life just by being pretty. Seeing tick tocks when a guy does triple backflips and gets only a few hundred likes. Then a woman just does some stupid little dance and gets thousands of votes. Or seeing someone be a YouTube Star who rakes in tens of thousands a month just because she can put on makeup.
Men need real proficiency to succeed in a career. Women can just smile and have opportunities handed to them, that's if they even have to work at all.
I work hard for things in life. That's why I have zero tolerance for princesses or women with an attitude. It's a quick next, and onto someone with some heart and humility. Learning to quickly drop trash women is a skill that most young guys need to develop.

And what's there to like about a bunch of entitled bitches who think they're better than you and demand you to meet a bunch of standards they don't hold for themselves.
Should I be bitter at the Mets because I wasn't good enough to be their centerfielder? Should I be bitter at Harvard Law because my LSATs weren't high enough? Should I be angry at whatever for being born too soon/too late?
No. Being angry about those things is irrational because, like me, they either make choices they feel are best for them, or it's something totally out of my control. You sound like women are the enemy, and that's part of the problem. Some people in life have advantages; that's the reality, and being bitter doesn't change that. A good life isn't based on having a transactional frame of mind.
I hope others have given you some viable and positive advice. I can see why a woman of any substance wouldn't give you the time of day. And you call them "entitled".

Harvard Law is in a position above you.
Uh, no. They are a law school. A very good one, but so is Yale, Stanford, George Washington, Princeton, et al. Regardless, there are tons of law schools, just like there are tons of women. The thing is, even if they weren't equal to you, they don't owe you their companionship, much less their pussies. You can bitch about the rules, but that doesn't change the game. It you don't want to play, that's a valid choice, but it's your choice. What woman needs to be involved with a person who seems angry, whiny, and misogynistic? There's nothing irrational about that.

I know what you mean! I won't go into the multiple things I find disturbing about what seems like a deteriorating dating environment. I just wish these events I joined and the places I go to meet women were actually fun. The repetitive dinky hikes, the blaring clubs sat uncomfortably at a bar, etc. are a bane. And while my interest-club meetings are highly social & interesting the women aren't there. At least with the gym I can rationalize that as strengthening my back, etc. Otherwise, it's a lot of boring wheelspinning.
[–]Musician-Round 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
I have dedicated a majority of my adult life to focus on myself and work to develop myself instead of playing that game and it usually rewards me with interesting women coming into my life. It might sound like old and cheesy advice but just being yourself and focusing on bettering yourself is one of the best ways to attract quality individuals.
No hate on the people that dedicate their lives to playing the game, but in my personal experience, people that do that are just doing it to fill a huge void in their lives. For example, I had a friend at one time who lived his life soaked in puddles of woman juice but deep down they were deeply insecure, they couldn't take any kind of personal criticism and were such a manchild that they had to be the absolute center of attention for everything. The type that always has to outdo the other males in the room to keep on receiving attention and maintain that aura of being the most desirable.
I can't say I pumped out the numbers that guy did. But in my personal experience, I have wound up moving across the country with affluent women and had adventures, and enjoyed plenty of experiences that I otherwise wouldn't have really had an opportunity to. We're talking about women that come from affluent families who have taken me along on their adventures because they enjoyed the company that much.
After living through those kinds of experiences, I find the girls that you described pretty bland and boring. If the majority of her conversation revolves around the words um, yeah, like, I lose interest fairly quickly and just keep it moving. It's one thing to be lured in with a skin-tight dress, but its quite another to be seduced by someone who views that dress as nothing more than a tool.
Different strokes for different folks.

Dating is fun when you actually connect with someone, have engaging conversations and eventually passionate sex. You’re post makes you sound like a major piece of shit and 99.9% of women would run for the hills if they saw this. Try objectifying women less. They’re people that you connect with the same way you connect with your male friends.
[–]CompetitionFair7686 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Because it’s fun for me. I like flirting, escalating, building sexual tension, and going on dates with her and having sex. Why? Because i like women and the game.
Girls have it easy to find sex? Sure.
But not necessarily finding long commutes relationships with the most attractive guys who have abundance.
And also women have it worst if they get pregnant, since the guy can just walk away easy from any responsibility, girls however are stuck. Overall it all comes down to stop seeing dating as something you are owed, which is the real problem here. You think that you are owed sex and dates easy just for existing and complain when you dont have those but the girls do.
As if that’s a girls problem and not the other guys who don’t have any standards and put those girls in pedestals.
Girls as you said don’t have to do anything therefore it’s guys who are doing it, how’s that the girls fault? If guys started imitating girls behaviour and being more picky then girls wouldn’t have it so easy and would certainly need to work harder.
So stop thinking you are owed something from girls, you are not. You are entitled to nothing. you are not owed sex or love from any girl, neither are they, but it’s not their fault that guys are fine with girls just being pretty and that’s it
Don’t pay for anything more than a drink or coffee, a drink or coffee offered to a girl on date cool. DONT pay for dinner, cinema or anything else. Split the Bill , go Dutch.

I really relate to this post man. I used go be an average looking chubby guy.. Now i'm model material, I have worked my ass off in the gym, become better physically and mentally. People ask me all the time if I'm a model, people assume I get laid 24/7. Truth is, although I'm now hot, I dont really have much success infact if anything it's actually harder because women are intimidated. It always requires effort. Being the prize, abundance mindset, none of this does anything unless I put in effort. On the other hand, women can just exist, dont have to have done all that self improvement, blood sweat tears and hard work and get 10x my success even if I did approach. Cant help but feel a little salty about it. Trying to focus on what I can control so i'm trying to get better but this always fucks with my mind... Idk if I've just been unlucky but the effort I need to put in is just simply not worth the prize.
[–]eddie_atleti 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Transactional mindset is holding you back. You think your work + effort deserve a reward. Recognize that this is a feeling of entitlement that makes you resentful when your desires are not fulfilled.
Embrace growth mindset instead. Take pleasure in the interaction. Delight in your unique experiences and learn from them. Recognize that every person you meet is unique, value them for who they are and not what they can do for you.

I’m like OP. I’m new to game and attended a Bootcamp last month and am struggling just to get a conversation going. In my younger years, I certainly did resent women, but now realize they are not to blame for the current state of dating culture. It is as you say OP - all a woman has to do is exist because most men she encounters make it too easy for her and the average (overweight) woman will always have more options that a 6’ tall jacked millionaire - it sucks and is unfair, but it just is. And yes, looks help game ALOT! But the good news is that women can be turned on by how you make her feel. And like others have said, you need to adopt an abundance mindset.
How do you guys not get bitter towards women?
I go to other countries, states, or social circles. I also got into swinging when I was like 23 and never looked back to the traditional dating scene....fuck that...actually I did look back and laughed my ass off...
I also worked hard at my career, made money, and worked hard at my fitness and I'm attractive to a wide selection of women.
How the fuck do any of you enjoy dating? Are you in it just for the sex?
I don't enjoy dating unless it's with compatible people. Sex comes first, then dating for me.

You have to turn the tables. Make them believe you are the prize. Once you've got them you have to make sure they don't want to lose you, ever. And then you can raise them to higher (normal) standards.
You could also go for normal women. A lot of my female friends would (at least) offer to pay, put in effort and other things.
[–]squatch1601 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
As a man you are expected to approach and escalate. On the flip side it is better because we have control the control, you can approach who you want, as opposed to waiting for the other person to approach (although it's obviously ok for the girl to approach too). Same with escalation, you can escalate when you want instead of waiting forever for the other person to do it. Also sometimes girls do escalate, like backing up on you while dancing at a party or in a club, or bringing up sexual topics in conversation.
Paying is a cultural thing and I know a lot of girls who are willing to split or get the next one. If you feel like you are being used for money, just walk away.
Keeping the conversation going and flirting is something both are supposed to do, if she isn't it's not going to work anyway (unless she is shy and needs to be made comfortable first, once you get her comfortable it should be both flirting and keeping convo going).
After the approach though it's the same for both: be attractive and not have a shit personality.
Some people are in it just for sex but they "date" and of course they get frustrated because they are spending time with someone with shit personality.
Some people date for the sake of dating and get frustrated because they are dating someone who may have a shit personality and also they are not attracted.
Basically dating is supposed to be fun when with someone attractive and a good personality (both are subjective obviously), if those conditions are not met you get bitter.
Tldr: have standards

Just date and do what you want/what you're comfortable with. You don't have to live up to anyone's expectations. You're not there to please them. You're there to have a good time and enjoy each other's company. If you can't do that because they expect more out of you, then move on and look for someone who is fine with who you are.

I’ll add another thing - pickup is 80% inner game (I.e. confidence) and 20% outer game. All confidence is is having your self worth not being dependent on other people’s acceptance or rejection of you. As Tyrion said early on to Jon Snow, you own being a bastard (insecurity) and make it your shield - then they can never hurt you with it. The outer game is like others have said: having fun, being socially free (not giving a fuck), and being an energy giver (raising state). I know it’s hard man, it still is for me - I’m 42, 5’8, and balding - I’m not getting any younger, so I’ve resolved myself to just fucking try. Otherwise I’m living life as a dead man who doesn’t know he’s dead yet.

If you think you’re gonna be bitter then that’s just sad. You don’t even trust yourself to operate accordingly. Plus you don’t get mad at a dog for shitting on the ground, why cause it’s in the dog’s nature, same way you don’t get bitter at women for acting the way we already know they are gonna act. If you’re still gonna get bitter after having the right knowledge then that’s just a weakness in yourself
[–]Emmanueldel124 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
I totally agree it’s unfair, and that why you got to turn the tables. You got to go in with the mindset of ( she has to prove that she is worthy to be with me) if you ingrain this in your head you automatically become a man with high value as you are not trying to prove shit but make her prove it , and every time you meet /date/go up to a woman she will naturally sense this (THS IS AN IMPORTANT TIP, the ones that like you/ have high interest, will start to try and prove them self to you in various forms and the ones that don’t won’t even bother/won’t give you the time of day/ won’t give a damn. This makes your life now 10x easier cause now you are only dealing with chicks that like you and now you no longer got to second guess/ go through the trouble of “getting a girl to like you”) . With this mindset the power dynamic automatically switches in your favour as you now can call the cards you want.
This is also part of the reason why fuckboys, players,chads and Tyrone’s, can treat a women Like shit and the girl still falls and comes back because she is always subconsciously trying prove herself to him thus always keeping the power dynamic correct and making her keep chase his validation
And another thing , (ALWAYS DO THINGS THAT “YOU“ WANT , AND GO TO PLACE THAT “YOU” WANT TO GO WHEN IT COMES TO DATES ,NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND) this ensures that you have the most amount of FUN as you are going to to do things that YOU wanna do and plus it makes you seem more attractive because women like men that can lead and be dominant/be in control , plus it also reinforces her trying to prove herself to you as most guys do the opposites and do things the women want and not them and thus making you way more interesting and instantly setting you apart from other men.
And quick tip( : don’t do dinner dates, shits boring. do something that can get the emotions and or the body going like hiking , gym workout, bowling,etc this will also help you break that touch barrier and then sexual barrier much faster, than sitting down across from each other eating and talking about shit that you got to pretend to give a fuck about and being somewhere you don’t even want to be and at the end having to pay for all of it and wishing ,praying and thinking about the next move to break that barrier ...
But it all comes back to the mindset ( she got to prove herself to me) change that, and your interactions and experiences with women will change too
Now go and have some fun brother, peace.
