Is dating really that fukt these days?

Or is it due to people have low self esteem? Too high of standards?

Has social media (Insta) created tons of people who aren't going to settle for anything less than "dream"

I don't go out of my way to date or even 'shoot my shot' -- but it just seems people are so closed off to conversation in general.

inb4 ugly.

Yeah it’s harder now so many people have given up. If you don’t give up and stay open-minded and seize opportunities irl, you just might be able to get yourself a hot white girlfriend like I did.

People don't talk face to face anymore.

Most guys because of social media think they should be dating 8's when they are a 5. Girls can do this, guys can't and it creates a major rift.

Relationships are considered disposable by many more people.

Dating advice from 10+ years ago or from people who last dated 10+ years ago is literally irrelevant now.
2017-2019 Tinder was a good time span.

2000's PUA's have no chance now in the 2020's.

Also a ton of guys refusing to put in work to become better, just entitlement.

Yeah the combination of people inflating themselves (narcisissm) plus hookup culture, and the changes in economic circumstances where people don't reallyneedto date, marry, or otherwise settle like previous generations have done. They all contribute to the current state of the dating market.

I met my GF back around 2013 when things were still fairly normal i can't imagine dating nowadays with IG, online dating, hookup culture, metoo, feminism and all of the other stuff

Like i legit don't know how you guys do it

I've never used a dating app in my life and it's weird even seeing it posted on here nobody used it like 10-12 years ago

There was a graph posted here not long ago that most people meet online or at bars now like wtf lol

Online dating is kinda ****ty unless you're in the upper tier of men.

Normal dating and meeting women irl seems the same? I'm no chad but I can hook up with girls from bars and even do a bit of cold approaching during the day

dating apps should be used as a tool, not your main source of dating

talk to people irl, not just women, build up your confidence and social skills

shoot the chit with the cashier, say hey to a random stranger you're walking by, you get the point?

Idk man. I'll have days where I don't want to talk to anybody and don't.. and I find myself thinking like you said.

But then I'll have days where I talk to everybody and I think it's different

It's all mindset imo. Not to say that ugly brahs won't have a more difficult time. But you have to make the best of what you have anyways

i don't date, but the last few gals i've smooched told me afterward that they had boyfriends/husbands

being in Clown Town might have something to do with that

inb4 the next one says it is a husband
