Sorry that's the best I can do. The reasons why warrant a separate thread in PARF.
to bring it back to dating.

while straight cis het mens experience on dating apps and in dating seems to be the difficulty of being seen at all, basically getting no signal at all. straight women's problems in modern dating seems to be the opposite.

straight women i know are all exhausted of dating. while they might get hundreds of matches and have men lining up out the door of the bar to date them, 99.9% of them are undatable. and so straight women i know, often get burned out of dating entirely because the signal to noise ratio is so bad. actually getting to the point of finding someone who is remotely datable, takes so long, and requires going through so many men, so many dates, so much time and energy, that they just burn out and leave the game.

so all these MRA all saying "women have so many options! we get nothing!" no, dude ... women have just as few options as you do, and they have to do magnitudes larger amounts of work to sort through them, to find anything of value, than you do.

One thing I know for sure... If I was dating, the last person I would seek advice from would be a promiscuous gay socialist.

i date mostly women in fact. not that that matters. its clear your not interested in any improvement in understanding.

my favorite version of this whole "I'm a nice guy who offers a lot to a woman, i just can't figure out why they dont pick me" is this conversation: https://www.tiktok.com/@dimension20/video/7073587458499251499?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1

Neither do your silly social theories, but if you wish to remain a virgin- that's your prerogative.

Wow. My experience with dating is limited to trying to find a woman to spend the rest of my life with (and potentially raise children). Essentially marriage (for better or for worse...until death).
While I understand how it is a bit different for older folks looking for companionship of the other sex...especially after divorce or the death of a spouse; this has strayed outside of what seems rational (dating both sexes/genders). That is just a bit too weird and complicated for me. It seems like one could decide which they preferred.

Definitely take his advise over yours or a female who never had to accomplish those things.

Which goes back to my original point as to why I don't take dating advise from females. They don't have the need to understand men since they are the ones being pursued and by simply existing (especially if they're hot) tons of men will approach them on a daily basis. Men on the other hand HAVE to understand females in order to be successful in the dating market.
I didn't watch the whole thing. I just couldn't.

I think there are lots of different butts, and a slew of seats to go with them.

I get the feeling that this guy, and most of the women that he hooks up with are probably super shallow or maybe foolish and/or really naive.

I would have absolutely no desire to hook up with someone that's trying to live that life. It's not my thing.

There are plenty of shallow men AND women that are looking for prestige, money, looks, whatever. While those things are great, they are down the list. They are nice to haves, not primary factors to look for.

If this guy can load up his instagram with these chicks, and they are hot to hook up with him, then I'm probably not interested in hanging out with him or the girls. But that's not to say that he's not right about a certain sample group. Stereotypes come from some where. There is often a grain of truth in them for some people.

just an update on the andrew tate thing ....

after first coming across him here, and googling him, i kept seeing a ton more of him. and had to look deeper into it.

turns out he's running an MLM. thats why hes everywhere.

so, should go without saying, that taking dating advice from a literal scammer, is a bad idea.

thats before you get to the googable stuff like the rape, sex trafficking etc.

It really got your attention too, didn't it. It was important and she did not have time to tiptoe around.


I heard my mother swear, once.

It was like for a moment, the Earth had ceased rotating.

If you want to meet women get a cute dog (Labradors, German Sheppard's or Boxers are perfect.) and go walking in a public place. By the beach is great. Just buy and ice cream and enjoy the view. They'll flock to you so they can pet your dog. If you do this regularly in the same area you'll soon have some new friends.

I 100% agree. Phew (getting some air as I remember some opportunities). They like the dog but it also gives them an excuse to talk to you if they like what they see.

When I was a teenager my dog knew the command, even if it was whispered, "Go and say hello."
