Why Are Guys So Bitter About Dating?
Another friend invited me to stay on his couch every Sunday for months after a breakup, when I didn’t want to be alone. I know he would’ve let me crash every night if I wanted to. A few years back he said “I love you” to me, so I started saying “I love you” to him. Another friend mentioned that his best friend started saying it in middle school, so he started saying it to me. Not to be dramatic, but during a conversation with my former coworker and longtime friend Mike, I felt like I was transcending myself. I catapulted subtly into a higher plane of existence, where everything was a little bit richer, fuller, more colorful.
Photos are the billboards of online dating, whereas the bios are the small print that many of us never read. Despite the fact that written bios define users infinitely better than a couple of photos, females and males alike place much more importance on photos than written bios. This is all good news, considering the report also found that online dating in America has grown rapidly, with the total percentage of online daters in the country shooting up to 30 percent from just 11 percent back in 2013. Love it or hate it, dating apps are proving to be more than just a millennial fad, and their effect on the dating landscape is only becoming more pronounced as app culture heads into its second decade. New data from the Pew Research Center’s recent deep dive into the state of online dating today seems to confirm this theory.
Imagine dating someone with these thought running through their mind. I am a female in my 30s and have had my fair share of dating and relationships. I’ve definitely been upset, hurt, used, bullied, objectified and I have caused hurt, confusion, rejection and disappointment.
That said you did speak some truth and dating stats. Back in the old days dating was very easy because women were nothing like today at all, and meeting the one would had been very easy with no problem. I’ve been on a total of 35 dates from various dating sites. It’s hard not to end up feeling you’re a total weirdo when this happens. Thing is I never seemed to have much trouble 20 or so years ago.
Everyone gets rejected and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. Maybe you just approached someone who doesn’t like you, which is also perfectly fine. Remember, you’re not as bad as you think just because you don’t have a girlfriend.
You may need to teach the person you are dating how to communicate and more so be really patient to learn things that they probably should have learned a long time ago but didn’t. By social skills I mean NOT how well you approach women, but are you skilled at beginning a conversation, at flirting, at baiting, at connecting and complimenting. MOST long-term relationships form out of a person’s social circle so, if your lifestyle is boring, and your social circle is lame, your dating options will be slim to none. Again, there’s a better way to meet attractive women here.
