This is why they created the girlfriend experience, sure it cost more, but it's worth it to cuddle afterwards.

Kind of in between. One the one hand, I dont want to just give up. But on the other hand, Im 32 and have never had success with women... I feel like it just gets to a point where its like it just isnt for you, stop making yourself miserable

Yes, and I've very nearly given up. I was planning on giving it one final attempt at dating, probably this summer. Now I don't think I'm gonna try again at all. It's pointless anyway, I just wish I could shut off the part of my brain that wants it.

what does everyone in this thread feel like is the cause of them not succeeding at dating?

I used to struggle a lot coz of my lack of self esteem but once i built it up a bit I did a lot better, but I struggled with the self defeating attitude stuff for ages, saying I was inherently unattractive, too socially crippled, that sort of thing but itsnot true

Just speaking for myself here. But everything in my life points towards me simply being not worth anything to anyone. There's absolutely no reason for anyone to ever want to be with me. No one has, no one will.

That's not the case for me, but I am taking a long break from dating. That'll happen when your forever live-in relationship cheats on you at the beginning of last year then moves out with her new bf in two months after meeting him lol

I was living with her for seven years. I'm not prepared to date anybody for a long, long time.

I mean, I'm not "aggressive" to myself about this stance, but in general, no, I don't believe I'll ever find someone. Which bums me out. But it just doesn't seem realistic for me at this point, and honestly, the pandemic is probably going to destroy the ability to safely meet and date people, anyway.

It is. I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety issues. I've had quite a few emotionally traumatic experiences in my life. From life long abuse, to nearly dying in horrible events a couple of times, to my dad trying to murder me.

Currently, just saving money. Hoping to be able find an apartment and move out. That's about it I guess.

If you're successful at dating, you'll end up married.

Which sucks.

Unless you hate privacy, independence, and freedom.

And you'll have kids in an attempt to banish all the dark thoughts that come with this constructed condition. Then things actually get bad.

The trick to that, is you get her use to you laughing at her petty frustrations by then.

Just like you can get settled in to routine bitching. The other can get use to you routinely laughing at their bitching. Eye for an eye. Of course you gotta make sure you don't overstep and start laughing at important arguing

I've had a few girls in my life that qualified as girlfriends, even if we didn't have an "it's official" talk or anything like that. I've also ****ed around 25 women, ranging from hot to a little below average w/good features. (IE: a fat chick with a gorgeous face and wasn't gross fat but mostly just really big boobs fat.)

However, by this point I feel it's a lost cause. Women seem far more discriminate and spoiled than 5 years ago, and the last several years haven't been kind to my self esteem. When I think back to who I was, I barely recognize that I was me. Nowadays I've had some things happen to me since that have damaged my confidence. Also, as a result of using dating websites I've got the feeling that I'm hideously ugly where as I used to be under the impression I was good looking. I do go on dates from time to time, but they're rarely followed up by women that aren't toxic gold diggers who are impressed I own a home in a nice part of town.

Usually once they get to know me, they see things they don't like and ghost me.

I also have a very small and shrinking circle of friends, which makes going out and meeting others very difficult.

I felt similar then this really cute girl hit me up. She asked me to lunch and stuff.
I think I blew it because when I asked her out she turned me down. But looking back with some new knowledge I think I could have got her.
Tbh, she still shows signs of interest so idk.

Dunno, but this was a real thing, my man. Pointing out that I didn't need to pass the dice at all was lost on her.
I was holding a beer in one hand and sitting at an odd angle, so I sort of dropped/tossed the dice. Landed right in front of her, didn't disturb her money or properties. But.... rude.

One thing COVID19 had taught me... I hate Monopoly!

I got the gist, and you're right. It's because there are more women than men. And probably more gay men, than gay women.

So ya, anyone can sign up to be a slave. Since of us might have to work harder than others, but it will happen for those who want it.

After being in a few relationships and a marriage ending it's less of a headache for me not getting in a relationship.

Being too nice I get stepped on and if I say something I get told I'm the bad guy so why bother. Maybe one day someone kind will show up but I don't care. I'm single now by choice. I still get action. I won't discuss how. Thank you.

I honestly wish I knew. Thats what gets me- the not knowing. Any time Ive been dumped or rejected, I was always given some bs not-actual-reason. And honestly? That made me feel worse about it. If these girls would just say Im just not into you or youre not who I thought you were or whatever instead of Im not interested in dating right now and then going off and dating someone else, Id feel so much better. But I guess most guys dont think like I do and theyd get all pissy lol.

But its like, if I dont know like what happened, what I did, etc., how can I be expected to improve it?

And then theres the just be yourself, and youll find someone crowd and I guess Im the exception to that rule, because for my entire life, Ive always been myself. I never put on an act, I never try to be something Im not... and it just doesnt work for me. Im that guy who will sit there watching all his friends get hit on and wonder whats so special about them that I dont have.

Its lonely, but thats how its been my whole life so I guess Im used to it.

Based on the replies the women are giving you, it sounds like it could be a problem with your confidence. Tell me what you would do/say to a woman you're texting with or are on a date with. How often are you texting and complimenting her?

I'm a straight woman who might be able to give you some insight on what you might be doing wrong

Welp lol

The only advice I can give you then is to pace yourself. If you seem overeager to be talking to her, it looks like youre desperate. And being desperate is a HUGE turnoff.

Tips on how to not appear desperate when youre desperate:
  • Dont compliment her more than once or twice per conversation/date. Youd think itd be the other way around, but its common for guys to go overboard with this. Too much and it seems like youre just trying to compliment your way into her pants. Which wont work
  • No bombarding her with texts, especially when shes not even answering
  • Going off the first one, dont make any comments about her taking too long to respond. Dont ask why, dont triple text. Just leave it and have patience. Its very unlikely shes playing mind games so try not to let it affect your ego. Its a breath of fresh air when you dont seem demanding, and shell like you a lot more for it
  • Do not mention your insecurities when first talking to a girl. Even though you may be self conscious about taking her out/not having a lot of experience, keep it to yourself in the beginning and pretend that you know what youre doing


A guy that looks like he knows what hes doing is a huge turn on. It doesnt matter what you look like if youre confident and sit up straight. I promise you Im not lying about this to make you feel better. Confidence is probably one of the hottest things you can have in the beginning of a relationship

This is all based on my experience, and what other girls Ive talked with have said. Youre welcome for the essay you never asked for
