>>16381041Dating was actually tolerable before smartphones became ubiquitous, and before women cared more about real life than social media clout. It still can be though; you just have to try harder.
Between 2002 and 2014, I had a bunch of cool girlfriends and flings with chicks that were fun and full of not only great sex, but lots of good conversations and going out to have fun—not "mandatory" second dates and bullshit like which one of us should pay.
There are still a ton of women out there (ages 25-35 +/- ) who remember this, want this, and will be happy to have these experiences with you if you take the time to try and meet them. You have to put in effort.
>>16381044Both men and women have changed drastically over the last ten years or so. The man-child millennial who plays video games, watches anime and superhero crap, has to jack off once a day to hardcore porn, etc. – there are plenty of men left who don't fit into this category. There are also plenty of women who aren't self-absorbed, selfish, extremely promiscuous, and treat men like animals.
The internet paints a bad picture of both sexes that's keeping us from interacting.
>>16381041Despite the current sociopolitical climate with "all women" SEEMINGLY hating men and just using Tinder dates like toilet paper, there are definitely a ton of women out there who do not buy into that shit. SO...I'll say the same thing I always say in these conversations:
If you conduct yourself like a man and act decently, you can most definitely get yourself a girlfriend, if you try enough. That means putting in some real effort, accepting defeat and rejection—not if, but when they happen—and just being your true self. Finally, don't be cynical about it.
Go ANYWHERE people congregate. If you don't go somewhere other people are, you'll never find anyone. Online dating is junk. Shut off the computer, put down the controller, put on some nice clothes, go outside, and find a woman if you're so lonely.
