If you're so sure about that then put all your money into bitcoin shorts Put your money where your mouth is

Honestly this sounds like horse shit The words you say online are not really what get you attention, you're basically looking to have a solid profile then just not fuck it up with your words I mean you have nothing to lose by waiting a few days then randomly starting up the convo again but the success rate of this will be low. Once you lose a girl's attraction and attention it's very very hard to get it back In your head I suspect you're thinking that something like 20 girls is numbers game. In real life that's kinda numbers game. Online dating is more like 1/100 convos will lead somewhere unless you're like top 10% profile In my entire time of using online dating (about 1.5 years on Tinder) I got probably 600ish matches, and maybe 15 dates, around 12 of which went anywhere further However the first 8 months (when my profile was kinda average) I only got like 2 dates which lead to anything from around 100 matches And my standards online were always fairly average too. If you have high standards, online is not for you Online dating is a serious serious grind for the average to even above average dude. Like. A serious serious grind. You're getting decent matches so you look good enough to the point where you can choose to go for the grind, but let me tell you that I'm not sure it was worth it looking back. If nightclubs were open at that time I'd have been going there instead in a heartbeat Put your main effort elsewhere and have an online profile running in the background that you slowly optimise over time without thinking too much about

This is just how online dating works 95%+ of girls will ghost you Girls have 10x more matches than you, so you gotta be prepared to filter through tons and tons of girls until you find one that is really attracted to you more than the 5-10 other guys she's currently talking to simultaneously

Probably not, just damaging to your wallet Maybe if you have some sensitive skin it could be damaging I guess but I can't see how else

I don't know, it will depend on the girl. Just go for it, do whatever you would normally and see what happens

I think any time anyone in history has ever asked "is it worth a shot" the answer is yes. Like what do you have to lose.... Yea girls will typically go for slightly older guys but that doesn't mean they will never sleep with a younger guy, all depends on circumstances. My dad was a few years younger than my mum. I've slept with girls up to 8 years older than me. I've spoken to a 22 year old girl who was talking about sleeping with a 19 year old dude on their first date recently actually. It happens

It's like going searching for a diamond in a red hot magma pool of toxicity It's exactly the same as consuming incel content, there are grains of truth and useful insights to be found but in order to find those you have to expose yourself to the most toxic people in the dating world and their ideas which can mentally destroy you

That's like one of the most toxic subreddits there is, alongside the incel ones. You'd be better not reading it at all, it will fill your mind with junk

I managed about three of his YT videos before I couldn't stand it anymore His whole YT channel is so grifty and manipulative I don't doubt he's made good content and there's plenty to learn from him but his YT content is just annoying

Whether looks are 10% or 50% doesn't make any difference to what actions you actually take You still just go and socialise with girls as much as you can

You're looking for the easy road out. If you're scared of approaching a girl, why on earth are you expecting her to be any less scared of approaching you?

Use the cool name and just add some extra crap to the domain or use a different TLD so you can get it cheaper Like others have said when you're bigger you can buy the proper one

Then use alcohol. It's not a bad tool. I'm the same. Just don't get yourself addicted

Not exactly. Going out and not drinking can be seen as a creepy thing to do in certain drinking heavy cultures if you don't have the confidence to pull it off. It does also help you let loose if you have a lot of anxiety which I would argue on the whole is beneficial if you're careful

This is your first ever date so don't expect to actually be able to apply much of the advice you've been given here in practice, most of it will fly out the window when you actually start talking You might find that it comes quite naturally to you anyway and things go great

Looks matter yea. But it's the confidence that comes along with the good looks that really drives women crazy If you look good you will more than likely have a natural, effortless confidence that's extremely attractive. To the point where you can convey that with only a few words and your body language If you don't look as good you are more likely to have insecurities that show through that you need to address If you look amazing but you have a really crap personality that is still gonna be a big problem

Nice dude! I've always struggled going to bars alone, I like clubs cos you can blend into the crowd, bars are tougher, so really nicely done Also same for drinking, I live in a heavy drinking culture so going out and not drinking is a lot harder

Stop thinking about fucking pills, can't you see how toxic it is for your life Stop looking at any blue,red,black pill stuff Yea there are elements of truth to it, but it sounds like you're considering your entire dating life from the perspective of what colour of pill it falls under which is just dumb and you should stop it. Focus on developing yourself into a sociable guy. 5 or 6 in looks is not bad anyway 1/10 in character by your standards. Which are not the same standards women have. Also, it's extremely easy for you to see these guys getting all the girls and look for reasons to hate them i.e. "they're total jerks" when actually many were probably OK guys

No don't do any of this stuff with someone you're just getting to know lol Well, maybe career goals and dreams but for god sake don't talk about marriage with someone you are just at the flirting stage with, male or female

Yea sorry I sort of derailed the thread a little, apologies

They have dodgy chemicals on them. Teflon is the worst one, if you have a pet bird you can kill it by cooking with Teflon pans because of the fumes. Teflon also makes you sick if you put the temp too high. And it can flake off into your food too

It worked, she's def still interested. Turns out she was annoyed that I teased her about wearing red or pink if she wanted to drive me crazy and that's what made her bail lmao. I made a joke about her only being allowed to wear highlighter orange or fluorescent yellow this time around and she asked me where I'm taking her. Cheers for telling me to message her again @Leo Gura, you just got me a date with a hot girl

I did Computer Science at uni (UK, not US) and went to what would be considered a good university. We don't quite have the same elitism with uni here as you do in the US though However not a single thing I learnt in uni was actually useful when I got my first software engineering job. Like none of it. And I would have learnt the same things at what would be considered a crappy uni. I did lots of personal projects which taught me far more The thing I regret most about uni was not taking advantage of what a great social opportunity it is. Focus on building your social skills up if you feel they are subpar. Join societies, groups, clubs, whatever the US equivalent of those things are In a sense your friend is right, it would have been good to make connections with some of those high status people if you could but it's not the end of the world really. Especially with how expensive college is in the US

Now there's a good tinder pic

Oh it wasn't a rejection lol. If it was practical I'd have been there in a heartbeat. We ended up just flirting a bit back and forth over text when I said I couldn't come over
