This is why guys aren't dating. My friends have told me to lie and "don't be myself" in order to pick up girls. I don't want to. I like my personality and I like that I'm a good respectable dude. I'd rather be single and look for someone who actually likes me for me > fake everything about me to get a date with a girl who probably won't like the real me.

Yep you nailed it. I mean all you have to do is be an a-hole and throw around money and lie on the first few dates. Sounds like a great plan for a long lasting relationship.

The point is not to make the girl actually think you are a gigilo to the elderly....she clearly knows you are joking. Its to stimulate fun conversation. If dudes are bummed that every first date is a "job interview" then dont let it be a job interview.


You don't have the option on whether its a job interview bro, It is a job interview.

Stimulating a conversation is different from honestly telling someone what you do for work or fun.

You are essentially saying that these girls care more about getting stimulated than actually getting to know you. Which is why its a problem.

As a man who wants a long term relationship, getting to know that girl is stimulating. And her being actually interested in my life is also stimulating.

Being a fake person so that they like you is exhausting and a self esteem killer.

I met 4 girls walking to grab some dinner in Gdansk. They asked where I was from...I made them guess. We ended up all going to get drinks at a nearby bar. They were there because their friend was singing in a concert and were out to see the city. They asked me what I did...I was a professional assassin. The next 30 minutes was us all bullshitting, them guessing what I did...and me giving ridiculous answers. We literally just bullshitted in the bar for an hour until I called it short because I felt bad for the friend who they were there for and I was hungry. I make the "hot" comment because that was a running joke(they were all hot though). Paulina, the one I liked the most, gave me her #.

Yes, my personality is a bit not serious...but that doesnt mean im always like that. I wasnt faking anything, im sure some of yall would have said the conversation was "cringy" but they literally were hanging off my every word.

And yes Mingo, this is all photoshop, never happened. Save your fingers

Yes

Hot women sleep with loser douchebags every day. Do you think its because the guys stoicly talked about how he smokes weed all day and parties 5 nights a week?

Yall are confusing what you think women should be attracted to...and what they actually are attracted to.

She really doesnt give a damn about your boring job. She will find out in due time what you do. The first date is far more about you vetting HER.

Agreed. They want a balance of mysterious but available.

The issue many of the 80% have is struggling to be that "mysterious" person. This is mainly because those same guys have been walked on and fricked over so much that they simply want to lay out who they are and want to know straight up if you are interested so they don't waste time and energy.

Its another problem with modern dating. Women actually see it as a turn off if guys are open about their life or ask too many questions about the woman.

On the other end guys know they have limited chances at second dates now so they try to push as much info about them and gain as much info on the girl in the hopes that they take an interest.

Its a losing battle. I have a better chance of dating a girl by knowing less about her and telling her less about myself?

Men have also already been rejected by girls for personalities, hobbies, etcc so they would rather know asap if that's gonna happen again or if they will actually be allowed to have a personality.

You have guys that get rejected for being too mysterious and then will get rejected by the next girl for opening up too much. And "being ourselves" is never even an option most of the time.

Also many women are dull as frick now and its actually difficult to have a straight up conversation.

Even girls on dating sites say "Don't tell me hey or that I'm pretty, I already know and won't respond, send me a good catchphrase".

Its all for entertainment purposes. We are seen as entertainment for them and not as mutual partners looking to grow together.

Have you personally been rejected for "being too mysterious"

Dude nobody is saying that the dating scene is great. You can either play the game and sit out. Either is fine, but there is no middle ground. If you want to listen to the women and short autists in this thread, by all means. Thats probably what youve been doing on dates. Youll keep getting the same results.

Its because they are attracted to them even if that guy has 0 substance or gives a frick about that girl.

You are proving my point. I don't want to date those girls or compete with that loser.

You are confusing "interest" and "attraction". Men see these (2) as going hand in hand. Women do not.

Men will have interest and develop an attraction. Women have attraction and will develop interest. Unless you are seen as immediately attractive then the odds are already against you to gain interest.

Interest rarely leads to attraction anymore because women primarily don't gain interest unless they are already attracted. Because of the amount of options they have.

You're kind of making my point for me here. If you didn't find him attractive, you probably wouldn’t have went.


My point is that he ASKED, so I had an opportunity to say yes. If he had waited on me to make a first pass at him, we wouldn’t be married with 3 kids.

Good grief. If anything happens to Mrs. Cricket, I doubt i'll date. This all just sounds absurdly exhausting.

Why do you think some of us went foreign? These games aren't necessary for the most part.

It's just wild. I've been married for a good while and together with Mrs. Cricket for a real good while before that. We get the chance to chat with lots of folks at church, the gym, etc. It seems like all the singles we know, men and women, are all dejected and depressed by the dating scene. It really seems like pretty much no one is winning.
