I'm going to sum up the problem with the modern dating scene: Almost everybody is wrong about almost everything.

These are the type of women who would scoff at almost any guy who approaches them at a bar, but would willing seek out any school boy on snap chat. What a world!

I think it’s some of this, and some of the fact that they get attention from higher level guys, and even sleep with them, but they don’t understand that the higher level dude has no intention of ever setting down with them. They think they have to put out to compete with higher level females for attention without realizing that they’re not helping their situation

I guarantee these 3 brothers have a micro penis. I know of 3 brothers in their 30s and 40s that could slay pussy with their clothes on but when the pants come off it’s smaller than a thumb. Guess what? All are single and never been married and make excuses like they’re happy. I woman doesn’t want to be married to that forever.






We...well...they probably have micropenises or something!!!




Really? What the frick.

So any good looking single man in his late 30s or 40s automatically has a micropenis?

Some people are just shy. Most 'catches' I know, both male and female, who are still single are because they just don't communicate and make it known. Men are scared to talk to women and women are afraid of making the first move. I learned from the same mistakes. I went months making excuses as to why I shouldn't ask a girl out, only to find out she had a "major crush" on me. Of course I found this out about two months after she started dating another guy. It was too late by then and I missed out on a shot at the perfect girl.

This isn't anything new. But there is new wave of excuses (as this thread shows...) brought on by the internet culture that is threatening to push out the old sage advice.

The problem is dating was never intended to be a form of entertainment like it has become in the modern day. It was merely a means for marriage. Yet we all know most dating occurs without any thought of marriage potential. In fact, there are scores of people who are great at dating, but terrible at marriage.


What happens today is most people see marriage as an extended dating relationship where the spouses have to constantly sing and dance for one another, and then when one spouse cant keep up (in 2020 it's the man who usually cant as a provider) they drop them for someone who does sing and dance better.


Marriage is for raising kids and building a family unit, not repeating all the shite you did as daters.

You left out married couples without kids that are sharing and building their dreams with one another and traveling all over the world sharing and building memories together.

It’s not always about kids and family.

I like that you are making lemonade out of the lemons of your infertility.

Definitely true. I was thinking more about women who aren’t insta-thots trying to be things that they aren’t and are at least somewhat serious about finding a husband though.

BR women are more skeptical of guys outside of their social circle because they never had to leave their clique for anything.



I kinda take issue with this. In my experience, New Orleans women are far more likely to go back after college and never leave New Orleans after LSU. My wife’s saint joe’s friend group almost all live outside of Baton Rouge. Sure there are transplants in New Orleans but nothing compared to Houston, Dallas or Atlanta.

I am not knee deep in any dating market but judging by the many people I know in New Orleans, I can see how late 20s and single in New Orleans would be underwhelming

True, but all those NOLA girls came from elsewhere before settling down in the city. The lonely few unmarried young professionals in BR nearly exclusively grew up there. While most of their clique may have moved on, there’s still enough friends and family from their circle to fall back on. In NOLA, nearly everyone is a transplant from somewhere else.

I was more talking about your sacred heart grad, Not transplants.

Maybe it’s because most of my New Orleans friends are huge townies but i just don’t see New Orleans as a transplant city. I also don’t really consider someone growing up in Baton Rouge then spending their 20s in New Orleans a transplant.


I agree with everything you said about laffy, for what it’s worth. That town is a black hole for many that grow up there.
