Most engineers have the outward appearance of having the personality of a turnip, or lemon. Once you get to know them you find out there is a real person inside. Dating apps don't give you time to get to know someone in depth.

Approaching a woman like a tough calculus problem will surely turn her off. Asking a woman about her family and how many kids she wants, when she wants a pizza and a proper stretching will get you ghosted quick.

Figure out what you want, then try the opposite of what you have been doing. And do it in real life, not on an app.

They’re looking to hook up, and you’re making things too personal with the couple days of conversation.

Women look for a whole suite of traits in men. Men however are only looking for one or two traits in a woman (tits & arse).


So there are a lot more factors for a woman to consider. While a guy may seem intelligent and career driven, to women that might mean you are above them intellectually and that there will be a lot of lonely evenings as you work late.


Men should look at the traits they list on these dating sites. Then they should work on counter-traits. If you re career driven show that you like to enjoy your time off. If you are focused show that you can be spontaneous. If your are smart show that you can appreciate silliness too.

What women are really looking for out of a man is the ability to adapt and not be rigid. Being well rounded and flexible are good characteristics to have and will get you further than the standard mix most guys put out on these dating sites.

Walt.

Did anyone ever tell you that you look exactly like that C3PO on your shower curtain?

No joke though - great job on the weight loss. You are motivating me to do better.

Women aren't nearly as mysterious and hard to catch as you think. Maybe try a different approach. Dating isn't that hard.

used to match with a girl and message back and forth a couple days then I would ask them out. Most say yes if we were messaging. When the date comes up I get backed out on or they have no response to me confirming the date. It literally happens 99% of the time. I've learned I'm just wasting my time if I don't immediately ask them out right when we match.



Sounds like you need to start right swiping with the slump busters.

What? There is always time. If the apps are shitty, and that's what I glean from multiple threads on here, meet them out at a bar or any social situation. You don't have friends that know single girls?

Right on. There's a lot of men who do not realize that a pretty face/vagina is a dime a dozen. I'm not saying to treat women poorly. I just do not see the point of sacrificing what you actually need in a woman in an effort to have arm candy or something warming your bed

Are you actually calling these women or just texting? Actually having a conversation is a more successful approach. Kids today!! LOL

You need to remember even the ugliest girls have guys hitting them up desperate to get laid. If you want to find a date on the app keep it short and within 5 messages set up a date. You're probably talking too much or just being boring as hell.

Modern women are straight garbage though. The more women I meet the more I wish I was born gay
