Well I have come to be really mindful as to how I would want to go into dating again. I think what I’ve learned would make me someone great to date but I’ve accepted being alone forever. I’m in a weird place I think- like the men I typically date aren’t something I can do anymore and I don’t know what the next step up is. I also have like scars from my past life. Like tells I guess - that probably wouldn’t make me desirable to men that are the step up. So I’m basically doomed.
My self worth is probably really fucked . I don’t think it’s something I can get past to the point where I ever try dating again.

it's pretty much common knowledge at this point for anyone comfy enough to leave the blue pill plantation -- 100% of women trying to have a relationship with around 15-20% of men. Some of those women "settling" for some the remaining men if they bring a lot to the table (namely status or money). This can often lead to friction in the relationship (or divorce/cheating) later down the line.

It will be tough going for the majority of women because obviously they can't all get a quality relationship from 15-20% of men. The bottom 80-85% of men either can't get dates or can't get enough interest to be too selective in what they want from a woman. Like the situation for women -- this can lead to friction in the relationship later on down the line.

Like wtf no, you just want everything paid for and done for you

You’re right, Woman are offering less and less, the only ones who get it are conservatives and they understand they are there to work as a team and make their man’s life easier, bettering both their lives in the end

can you blame women for being in a position of power and milking it for all it's worth? it's like someone having a specific marketable skill and working for the company willing to pay them the most. women have the marketable skill which is essentially pucci and men are the employers bidding for their skill.

Essentially the rat race never stops. And as the relationship continues, the expectations the she puts on the man are continuously being raised to new levels until 1. He’s not good enough 2. Boyo snaps

that's sad. I just want a nice girl who's cute. I've met too many girls who made me resent them for making me give too much and receive too little. My current sb is great. Cheap, young, asian, gives me road head and sleeps over after I creampie her 4 times. Says yes to everything and is down to get pizza hut. Wife material.

It is that bad. It's basically women begging for money and free food.

Luckily I don't date Western women

I havent dated or had sex since my late 20s, I'm confident with some life changes I could find someone, I cant really see it changing that much in 15 years, maybe with the rise of AI and social media but I doubt it, online dating was abysmal back then and it probably still is, dating IRL is doable its just most people want whats out of their league.

I literally watched a video of some guy talking about his experience interviewing a group of incels, men and women who were a friend group, they complained about how they have no success with the opposite sex yet they won't pair up with each other, it boggled my mind, I think some people label themselves as incel because they think its the "in" thing to do now.

It’s quite easy for me but as I get older it’s getting ever so slightly harder.

It’s always been quite easy for me though.

I get quality dates irl and matches online.

imagine how it would've felt to not be married in 1960 when 92% of adults had been married at least once by age 40. 😮

crazy how once you hit 30 it seems like you're seeing marriages of family members/friends/old schoolmates end almost monthly. some of the divorces come out of left field.
