not for me. rejection just always meant I wasn't up to par, in whatever aspect.

Online dating is the 80/20 rule in full effect. I had a thread asking if Tinder was dead and apparently there are still some people that pull from it. Just being honest with yourself and ask if you're part of that 20 percent. I dont just mean looks like but also personality and socially. If you aren't its getting tougher and tougher.

Agree with OP
I'm 6'6" , better than average shape and although I get matches not many are up to my standard. However I know why this is

These apps are 80% men. Realistically it only gives Chads more scope. Why would a 5/10 girl settle for a 5/10 guy when she has the option of being with 8/10 and 9/10 males

Sure you may get lucky and date above but don't count on it

Honestly I had the exact same experience,occasionallyi would get matches but they were, for lack of a better word, whales. It fuks with your head definitely, I can whole-heartedly say that I would rather be single than deal with online dating. Delete it bro, approach in real life (yeah this is easier said than done) less chance of meeting crazies and flakes. GL

Some are religious, and so they have some weird sexual identity issues. Then there is the whole issue of negative body image in the media. There's the fact that a lot of women have been sexually assaulted or harassed...Then you have the existence of Tinder, and the cumdumpster thousand cawk stare.

Tour's over for women. Women today are expected to work and be like men while also be women. They are to be strong and independent professionals while also being nurturing and attentive mothers. This is impossible.
you do realise that the weird sexual identity of religous people, which is basically chastity, is the antidote to everything? this entire mess is what happens when people dont have any boundaries

My logical self knows this is stupid, but somehow the absence of interest in online dating still hits me hard.

During the last few years I worked hard to get where I am now. My education is rock solid and I have no debts. The job as an electrical engineer pays very well and puts me in the upper middle class. And furthermore my physique is quite good. I am 6'2, lots of muscle and around 8 to 9 % bodyfat. Of course those are just superficial statistics, but isn't this what matters in online dating?

So my mind thinks. On the one hand, I have all those positive perks and on the other hand most women dare to reject me. Deep down this just destroys my confidence and makes me despise women altogether. It can not be that all the hard work is worth nothing nowadays. It seems like the majority of women worship the IG influencer lifestyle and have lost all respect for hard skills. Why even bother. I could just as well play video games all day long. So maybe some of you can relate...
All i see is entitlement and nothing about social skills. There was an asian miscer a long time ago that hated women for the same reasons, but you could tell that he was a little angry awkward brat

Did not read thread but I'm sure it's filled with a bunch of cry baby wah wah *******s jerking each other off while they cry about getting rejected on tinder. You pics suck. Your text games suck. You're socially awkward and you watch to much porn.

It has a lot to do with it, but there is also stuff like the whole "women should work" thing, which is at odds with "women should be good moms"...

Online dating depends a lot on your location. Some places are great and others are terrible. It varies a lot from country to country.
You could try bumble too. It might be a little bit better than tinder.


I'd stick to real life though if I were you. Make small talk with sloots if they're giving you signs of interest.

I was letting it get to me for a while, before my younger brother (4 years younger, looks 4 years older, same height, he doesn't lift, Norwood Reaper has had a field day with him) downloaded Tinder and Bumble after he was dumped by his ex. These apps don't stop for him - it's notification central and he's on top of the world.

The reason?

His pictures show that he's a much more outgoing, "fun" kind of guy. He has a few pics at bars/pubs with 2 or 3 friends, some pics where he's just smiling and looking like he's a fun, social kind of guy. Contrast that with mine where they're smile-free gym selfies, or work function awkward smile pics and it's a barren wasteland for me.

It doesn't matter in the slightest that he's always broke, has ADHD, a drinking problem and smokes like a chimney. It's all social-worth perceptions.

Sure Christianity, Judaism etc have basically enshrined what being a decent human being is to us.... but if the “antidote to everything” is to have everyone believe in a man-made superior being then I have some bad news for you....

That isn’t an antidote, that is absolute fear-mongering control. If you feel that the only way for yourself to thrive in this world is for human nature to be controlled by religion, you must be a really bottom-barrel human.

Why not move to the middle-east? I believe you might find your place there.

FYI. Those religious people who practice chastity (and their isn’t too many of them nowadays) either tend to touch up little boys (Catholic Priests) or they are one doubt away from giving in to human temptation anyways.

Cliffs.
Religion is great for setting out guidelines of basic human decency.
If you need a woman to believe in a magic-man in the sky and a fiery pit of hell for her to pick you and stay with you.... then the issue is with you.

Clearly missing the point.

People shouldn’t need to be scared of a flying mythical man to make them be a decent human being.

If you think that people do, then I don’t know what kind of people you are hanging round with but maybe leave that circle.p and get some new friends.

People are who they are, scum will always be scum, even if religion helps them mask it for a while, until the cracks in faith etc show.... Since your worldview is so jaded, clearly you have seen a lot of scummy behaviour....and they say that you are the friends you keep.

actually following the moral law makes you a decent human being. at the crux of that is God whether you recognise it or not. its not fear. i dont really fear anything in the sense you think people would

Agree with bolded....

You can’t prove or disprove gods existence, so belief in him is either blind faith or fear of the consequences of being wrong.

People with any sort of blind faith are worrisome, they tend to be able to justify anything to themselves.

People scared of questioning ideology and burning for eternity.... They have a whole host of other issues apart from being a sheep.

I don’t actually know any religious folks IRL, so this is just how I view them based on the only information on them.

When religion loosens it’s grip, there will be an adjustment phase, but the decent people will still be decent people and the kunts will still be kunts, the mask of righteousness will just be removed.

I don’t actually know any religious folks IRL, so this is just how I view them based on the only information on them.

When religion loosens it’s grip, there will be an adjustment phase, but the decent people will still be decent people and the kunts will still be kunts, the mask of righteousness will just be removed.
youre scared of questioning. everyones an atheist and/or theyve turned their back on god. thats the majority position for natives in the west. youve had your head in the sand since 10 years ago?

ill break this down - you should be questioning your atheism and rejection of God
