Meh, porn is just better than a High Maintenace B.
Worse in China and it seems to be working out very well for them too.The Dating Pool Dropouts

Dating is indeed a ton of work for the average guy.
Started dating my wife in my 20s just as tinder made it big, and at the time I would sometimes think "man, i really missed out." But, in hindsight, I was fortunate not to ever have to deal with the new modern dating.
It's annoying. Although not too hard to drum up something if you have a few things going for you. I matched a hot 21 year old who likes dick jokes the other day. The problem, like it always has been, is turning that into anything.

Man, I feel sorry for those losers.
What's he look like?
I didn't open with a dick joke. Which she liked because everybody does that. She has a weiner dog as a pet and referenced it quite a bit in her profile for comedic effect.so she liked yours, then?
Women are all competing for 10% of the male population. I see some of the clips of them getting owned on Instagram about what they expect from men. I have learned when women want something specific about a guy it's a preference. If a man wants something specific then he's an asshole or controlling.
Apparently now women think they can bring their friends on a date or to a birthday dinner and expect the guy to pay for all of them. No thanks.

Whoa -- the comment section on there is a babble of psychotic, misogynistic, right wing idiotic incels.

No wonder Colonoscopy "stumbled across" the article 😂
I was just about to say, this shouldn't surprise you, given the user

Nope -- I purposely quoted my post to make a joke at Colon's expense.
And I stand by my assertion.
Fine. Doubt me.
She looks like she's 12.
It's a trap!

Hmm. Could be. Some people are really youthful looking at 21. I was/am. Which is why I can still get interest from 21 year olds to begin with. She's not really my type.
I had a subscription for a short while there. All the stuff hits my inbox.
Agree about comment section on some of their stuff
not surprised. the article pulled a lot of talking points from subreddits filled with psychotic, miogynistic, right wing, idiotic incels.
Who says everything they're complaining about is inaccurate? It's their response and problem solving that are (often) really bad. (if we're talking about incels)
The issue is legitimate, imo
Sure you did. No one replies and quotes their own posts one minute later on purpose. Just own it.Nope -- I purposely quoted my post to make a joke at Colon's expense.

Preface: yes I'm old!
Dating nowadays seems like such an overall bad experience.
A young woman I work with (no pics) said she'd kinda been seeing this guy, who invited her over to his house. She pretty much sat around and watched him play video games. Then, when she about to head out, he suggested she stay the night and was surprised that she didn't want to. Seems like that's more common now - that a lot of guys don't know how to act to get girls to want to continue dating (and sleep with) them. Tinder hookups may be a lot easier because there's not enough time for a girl to see that a guy's a goofball, but those guys aren't becoming skilled at "having game" beyond that.
It does seem like online dating is a lot like online shopping, and it's simple to pre-screen people based only on their photos and profiles, which could eliminate a whole lot of "once you get to know them" people. Whereas if you meet someone out in the "real world" you could at least have a conversation with them to see what kind of people they might be and how well you might get along, before moving on to the next person.
But what the hell do I know though!

Just wanted to quote my own post to stir the pot a little!
Please bring condoms and a bottle of alcohol when you make the 75 mile drive.Fine. Doubt me.
Accountant haha. I would like to see her count to 10, much less do an audit. Haha, internet dating. Hilarious.
Bunch a losers I guess.
Been married for over 20 years but if that came to an end it wouldn't take me long to find a new girlfriend.

Her profile pic is screaming daddy issues.
She could probably suck a golf ball through a garden hose and let you PIITB but I bet she's crazy.
That or it's an overweight guy in his late 50's trying to get some dick picks from you.
Rest of profilePlease bring condoms and a bottle of alcohol when you make the 75 mile drive.
Yeah, that one picture. My read was that she was one of those girls that likes older guys and loves playing up the cutesy angle.
Well, maybe. I mean a girl that likes older attractive men isn't that rare. I do have a good face.
But I don't disagree about either one of your scenarios. All possible.
Your second post gives me absolutely no confidence in your first post.
If that was all of it it would be a bit easier. Every social site you’re on, someone is trying to scam you if they know you’re single.
I’ve gone through a couple days of great, convincing, conversation. Only to be then presented with a pricing list. Or wanting $50 to come see me, despite my offers of driving a few miles.
It’s exhausting. I’m done with it for the time being.

Like IGAF what you think. I've had a single handle on this site and its predecessors since around 2001.
The one your using now is, what, one of a dozen?

I feel like I'd have a pretty good advantage over quite a few men younger than me if Mrs. Torbee were to die/dump me and I had to go back out there.
Sure, I'd use the apps for quick hookups most likely. But once I got serious about finding someone who wasn't just an F-buddy, I actually know how to - you know - go outside to real places and have actually interesting conversations with females!
It's not that hard, fellas. You just have to practice.
I think part of it is a numbers game. Online women have quite a bit of leverage. Women have many more male suiters than men do the opposite.
So women can afford to be much pickier. Which can lead to issues. I think for the most part people want the things they've always wanted... the way we meet people is just all screwed up and it leaves lots of people unhappy.
