Dating is so scuffed in 2020... why even try

Friend of mine is easily a 9/10 good looking dude, 6 foot or so, good jawline, good genetics.

Moved out to LA with his then girlfriend, she dumps him and then moves on to a Giga Chad (less hair, but even more chiseled jaw, etc)

Like... WTF is it for us normies? When a 7/10 thot dumps a Chad, are we just supposed to lay down and rot?

If she's really a 7/10 then your friend can easily do better. Meanwhile the ex will rack up mileage

I've been getting ignored by women since I was in primary school but it's amusing to now see even normie white guys getting the rejection treatment. All I can say is that over time you get over it and find solace in the fact women are just holes. I jerk off to pr0n and bang escorts on the regular and have never looked back.

Repped. Everything is fuked right now, especially the dating scene. White women are especially picky and entitled, and so many girls I knew in HS who were hot are now getting fat. I've accepted my circumstances and will gladly just jack it to porn or bang escorts once in awhile. I don't have the patience to put myself out there to find a rare diamond who I'd actually want to spend the rest of my life with. I don't plan on having kids and probably not marriage either, so who cares? Rather focus on myself, and if a girl comes along, then cool

This is common as women are biologically programmed to always be looking out for a more alpha provider, just as men are biologically programmed to spread our seed in as many fertile women as possible.

The dude she moved on with probably had status/big time money, especially being in LA.

One of many reasons I have no interest in going there.

Has it really all changed?

I am 34 and married for 3 years, but before that I literally never didn't have a steady girl (or two) I was with or fukkin.

I was "single" for like three months total time from grade 10 on. Couldn't be bothered chasing randos, so having a GF meant puzzy, and I didn't have to waste time chasing it. I was always doing chit I wanted so no time for that.

Sounds like its a different ballgame out there now.

That said, if my wife ever left me I have a pretty good idea who I'd call.

Use it as an opportunity to focus on excelling in your career, whatever it is. And enjoying your hobbies and enjoying yourself. You’ll meet the right woman one day, try not to stress about it.

Date rich girls with better quality. More intelligent and socially positioned means they're less likely to cheat, and if they do, you still win somewhat because she's rich.

If he's only 6' or so (Meaning he's like 5'10) then I found the issue. You need to be a legit 6'3 or 6'4 in 2020 to have a chance at the good ones

Social media is to dating what globalism is to capitalism. Net result = the winners win even more, the middle class become losers. Losers remain losers.

Global markets, technology and deregulation allow people who already have tons of capital to make even more capital with no effort.
Social media allows giga Chads to get an endless stream of women even more than they had in their local dating market before and allows women access to unfathomable amount of giga Chads by swiping on their phones while maybe one lived in her vicinity just 20 years ago.

Net result = Giga Chads expand their maketplace. Decent guys (6-7.5/10) become almost equal to losers (sub 6/10). Losers remain losers (sub 6/10s).

Interesting. Most things work this way. People with the right support can do more.

People have simply replaced wholesome happiness with momentary thrills. I think it comes as a byproduct of people having no transcendental goal in life. If you have no goal that transcends the ordinary, animalistic impulses of human life, then you cannot experience some of the more noble feelings that lead to wholesome and longstanding happiness. People don't understand what patience, sacrifice, work, perseverance mean anymore except in pursuit of money (but not really even in that anymore as more and more people look for shortcuts). To sacrifice your time and desires to raise a family, people who are going to love you when you are old and who are going to be a positive, hard-working, respectable people in the world...to raise your sons and daughters like that, even though and perhaps especially because it requires some sacrifice on your end should result in the kind of wholesome happiness that nutting into an attractive member of the opposite sex won't give you.

Of course we all have desires, impulses and sometimes drift into searching for thrills...at the end of the day when I look back at my life as a totality, I imagine there's going to be a long list of mistakes, wasted time pursuing vain things, pain but also happy moments and moments that seemed insignificant at the time they happened but turned out to be really all there is to life when you look back on it. I don't think when I'm about to die I'll be thinking about the 9/10 I nutted into once or twice but instead I will probably be thinking about things like taking care of my parents when they were old, raising my own kids, having a good relationship with my dog (srs), some nice moments I spent in nature, some moments I've spent with my friends doing completely ordinary things like having dinner and so on. Of course that all sounds boring as it happens and some of it requires sacrifice, time and work, but I don't think there's anything "beyond" that.

Sometimes you've got to take a breathe and reflect on it. I'm happy to have a loving family, good friends and a good dog, and we're all obviously flawed each in our own way but at the end of the day I know they are not malicious, they're good people trying their best for the most part and that's just all there is to it, I hope I can die with my conscience looking past my mistakes and saying "well that was a good attempt, not bad bud" but it goes without saying that life as whole will be filled with joy, pain, suffering, work and all of that working in confluence that makes for the Grand Opera we call life. The goal would be not to squander the gift on the most base things and make something noble of it instead.

I feel your pain brah. The whole time I thought it was me looking uglier each year as I had no problem landing dates from 2014-2017. Now, I can't even land one. Ive given up on messaging women I match with on dating apps cause they lead nowhere. It sucks, but the ones you don't want to get with, try to actually talk to you but the ones you want just ghost you.

Im in LA and theres a lot of competition here. I sometimes see ugly dudes with some gorgeous women and Im like how the fuk did he do it while I dress good, try to look my best, and smell good everyday. Ive gotten no women interaction in awhile other than this lady telling me how good I smelled yesterday.

I feel like all the decent women think they deserve a perfect 10/10 man and they've been mean/snobby lately. The ugly/fat women are still nice to me though

Well said as this is 100% true. Giga Chad's leaving nothing for us and if they were, its just their leftovers which blows. Any tips on how to turn this around? I don't have IG and I know ig is like your resume nowadays to women.

Pointless to make an IG unless you have something to stand out from the crowd (top 10% looks, money, lifestyle, blahblah). I'd rather try to find a hobby that has some women involved in it, try to meet them through the hobby, church, whatever...and then it's easier to check that SHE checks off the right things like not being obsessed with social media, some modesty, doesn't require to be the center of attention all of the time, has normal friends, has interests of her own, isn't retarded, decent family etc. I think that's probably anyone's best bet right now.
