Any time I even for a second think about what it would be like to not be married, I remember that even finding a date, let alone dating, in 2024 sounds exhausting, so I remind myself to be thankful for what I have. I'm sorry for those of you who struggle finding a long-term partner.

D- Demonstrate value by suggesting that you can afford a hospital stay

If you're ugly, there's no appropriate time or place to approach a girl. If you're not, whatever corny creeper shit you do is fine.

I sometimes think being an attractive girl must be both the best and the worst thing ever.

Now that I'm older I don't get hit on nearly as much. It's been amazing. I didn't realize that I just had to wait it out a few decades.

I've known women who intentionally made themselves look less attractive so as not to get hit on. Sad really.

I believe the phrase I've seen was "an avalanche of not-asked-for dicks"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

That seems pretty accurate.

"I have a boyfriend."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Just don't tbh

I feel this in my soul. Same way, notice a cute girl a work don’t want to be the creepy guy at the office, see a cute girl working at the movie theatre, no this is her job, she doesn’t need that at work. This is why I’m single 😅

Ask once, be clean about it, look like a dork for a few minutes, if she says no, let it go and never mention it again.

The annoying creep is likely to do ask her out twice a week.

Theres no way to ask without looking weird, but the follow up is what distinguishes regular guys from creeps.

There's no need to even ask them out right away. Just having a casual conversation and making them speak of their interests can warm them to you.

Are they your coworker? Sigh at how needy clients are, tell how you want to have a break, ask what they want to do when they have them. Discuss details.

A cinema worker is harder, but you can play a dummy and ask them if they see the movies screened there and can vouch for some of them or if they can suggest some snack from a bar, to break the ice.

People like talking about themselves. All have hilarious stories to tell. One needs to make them open up and react in a supportive way. Looking up interviewers on youtube can get one a better idea of how it's done than these greesy pick-up artists. Genuinely enjoying a conversation rather than being hungry for a pussy\dick and making it all about yourself is a great start.

So you feign interest to pick up someone.

Not something I'm interested in doing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, you flex your social skills by trying to get to know the person you're, at this point, only physically attracted to. These are all things a normal person who doesn't need dating advice knows. But here we are, spelling it out for those I the back of the class.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

These are all things a normal person who doesn't need dating advice knows.

So any person with some difficulties should just go fuck themselves. Got it.

Did you enjoy your popularity in high school? Did you punch many weird people for fun?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think they meant you learn more about their personality to know if you want to be with them in the first place. Why wouldn't you want to learn more about someone you want to be with?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

Because most guys just want an outlet and not a person?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for not being the annoying guy trying to hit on girls 🙂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

The annoying thing is that the annoying guys are more likely to get a date, while they just go about their day. Not because they are better, or because their methods are good, but purely because they approach more people.

I hate making people feel uncomfortable (no matter their gender), so I always struggled finding "spontaneous" dates, or even dancing with strangers at a club/party.

The only thing that really worked for me was using dating apps, where both parties have implicitly indicated that they are looking for dates in general (because they're on the app) and explicitly indicated that they are interested in each other (by liking their profile, or whatever).

Although I've heard the apps have all gotten worse lately, I wouldn't really know, as I found someone on Tinder years ago, and now we're happily married.
