do you mess around with the Apps? thoughts?
I see. Well good luck with her.

I was on the apps years ago, mostly about a year or two after my divorce. Didn't stay on long as I'm not a fan. Every blue moon when I'm single I'll download one and look through and end up deleting it hours later. lol

I'm sure online dating took all the fun out of dating for you and not:

-Being 5'3"
- weighing 120 at 60 as a male
- The chicken skin tanned rawhide look
- The Cabbage Patch style hair plugs
- The size 6 shoes
- The weird hobby of photographing people in secrecy where most people would socialize with thm
The billionaire and the beggar both have 24 hours in a day.

That's why grandma's apple pie rocks and yours sucks.

"Women are incapable of understanding this fact. That’s why they invented that “f**k boi” term to re-frame the problem as being one of men who won’t commit. That’s not it at all.

Just to clarify for any female, men have 4 different classifications for women. Note that there are plenty of women that can catch a dick from Chad who Chad otherwise wouldn’t give the time of day to. This is why -

Men have 4 Classifications for Women:

1. Women we won’t give sex to.
2. Women we will give sex to.
3. Women we will date.
4. Women we will marry.

If Chad will text you for a booty call, but isn’t interested in seeing you otherwise, you have ZERO chance of flipping that into a relationship. It’s not ever going to happen."

I'd say the same for bars but I think your chance of running into quality is prob higher in bars. Look for a more nerdy, shy girl who looks uncomfortable going out. That's more likely your higher quality girl

If you just want to fuk then it's different. Bars and apps are good

If you're really looking for higher quality I think putting yourself in spots they'd go to is prob better. Art chit, volunteer chit, gym.. something like that

Still.. your chances are low everywhere
dating apps are a useful tool but they shouldn’t be the only tool on your belt. why limit your tools/options/opportunities?

you're not going to have instant success on dating apps. it's not like buying something on Amazon with instant gratification. you have to put work and effort in and you better sharpen up your product your selling - which is YOU - to the best of your ability.

treat it like a game, don't take it too seriously, be realistic, keep your expectations low, and have fun with it. but don't half ass it. garbage in = garbage out.

If you were at a bar, and there was like 2 girls and 20 dudes, you'd be like "fuk this, I'm not getting anywhere."

But you go on an app, and you see 200 sloots there. So you go write a Gordon thread. "BRB qualified prospects. BRB cost effectiveness."

Guess what?

There's about 2000 men competing that you don't see.

And Match group's continued existence depends on you never seeing them. Their entire business plan is selling hopium to single men, preferably on a monthly subscription.

The $64,000 question is, if women aren't at bars, and they aren't on apps (not in any kind of proportion to horny dudes), where the fuk are they at.

That's why bars/clubs are way way better than dating apps, instead of solely relying on an algorithm
why are miscers in denial about this.

The vast majority of women are no longer trying to be approached at bars. She has a line of chad on her phone. she aint there to meet random timothy

yes, they hang out with their friends. They arent trying to get hit on by random dudes because they already have the dude they're gonna bang on the app.

Good points but think you're missing some things.

Yes the numbers are not in your favor anywhere. But in a bar, 2 girls vs 20 guys is irrevelant because those 2 girls probably wouldnt like you even if you were the only guy. Most guys need to play an extreme numbers game to find someone that is interested in them. On sheer volume alone, online is way better. I have never met even 1 woman in real life who was interested in me, but online I can at least efficiently get in front of the literal thousands it takes to find ONE that might give the time of day.

In terms of if they arent at bars or apps, where are they. They ARE at bars and other social things, they just are not often trying to mingle at all. Why? Because for a woman to get laid takes no effort. The women that are looking for that get it so easy online or in literally the first place they go that they get snapped up quick. The only ones left are the ones there just for friends etc.

and they ARE on apps, there's just more dudes by comparison because on any given day more men are horny than women.

Apptards coping hard in this thread with the fact that they don't have the SACK to talk to women in real life.

Apptards also coping hard because most women use apps for validation and attention, and not to seriously date.

Go out into the world with some confidence and amazing things can happen.

If you EVER want to maximize the quality of woman you can date then you have to do it in the jungle. Get a spine and make it happen. P*ssy.

Yeah in 2018 you could still have tons of fun in bars. Now they’re just a waste of money.

I hadn't been to a bar in a few years (before covid). I went out clubbing this summer a few times and was shocked how empty the places were on Friday/Saturday night. These are places that used to be packed like sardines in a can when I was younger with lines out the front door. Is it just coincidence or is clubbing dying out? It seems fkn pathetic if online apps have replaced that whole experience for the younger generation lmao.
