Re: Anyone else pretty much given up on dating?
I know there are some good men, but I have all but given up trying. I want a committed thing with a good companion and that's been hard to find.

And as I get older I get way more picky. Being with someone who hasn't gone down the rabbit hole would be impossible. And there's the whole healthy lifestyle situation too. So I haven't quite given up, but not actively trying anymore. The disappointments hurt too much!

I was digging what she was saying then she lost me at "healthy life style".

Sounds like a control freak. This is the problem with some people.

Whose standard are we to say "healthy life style"?

You all wanted to know why I have such a hard on for Jennifer Lawernece...because I dont see control freak in her.

She is dating Aaron...a chubby older man.

She may fap and be a slug....which is too much freedom. But she has potential to see freedom by giving it.

Re: Anyone else pretty much given up on dating?
I think it depends on your expectations of a date.

You could just go out meet people.

Find someone.

Why put a label on the process?

Just be human. Go out, live, be happy, love.

Re: Anyone else pretty much given up on dating?
Don't give up. Just learn to be much more careful in considering who you wish to date. Ask a lot of questions and really listen to her answers. Figure out exactly where you can compromise vs the necessary deal breakers.

There is so much false info on all of these dating threads. The older I am the more offers I get because I've learned what men want in a woman. Likewise the pickier I am as well. Yes I am child-free for a variety of sensible reasons.


Can't understand why men won't bother to listen to what I tell them. Then they wonder why they get turned down all of the time. Men, if a women is physically attractive chances are she's chosen to live a certain lifestyle that's focused on fitness especially if her job requires it.

Guarantee a large part of her paycheck (and yours too, if you're married) has to go to maintaining her appearance. So why would you suggest going out for a beer or to eat high fat and unhealthy food? It just doesn't make sense.

The majority of my past employment has been for "upscale" law firms, casinos, and private businesses where company parties require men to "fit in" to that environment. So why would I ever want to go out with a man who puts down those who work in certain places? He's only showing his own extreme immaturity and selfishness, a clear sign to avoid no matter where I work.

Clearly agree with the "older woman" who said she couldn't understand a man going out with a girl who always appears to be looking for "the bigger, better deal." Have heard the same exact complaints from platonic male friends. My advice is always find a woman who isn't rude. Well the men should have known they were trying to date a girl that would never really care about them as a person. They were focusing on seeking a girl with the wrong qualities and wondering why they kept getting badly burnt.

Re: Anyone else pretty much given up on dating?
Political differences, religious differences, our modern culture has become so divisive that opposites no longer attract but are now irreconcilable differences. Long distance relationships(often the result of online dating) are basically doomed from the start.
 Quoting: MrSophacles(Russian agent)


For me it was more like

What kind of job do you have? How much are you making?

(sort of rude to ask a woman this kind of question)

This is what they wanted to know at first.

I would think... if it's my money you're after... then fuck off!

wtf
I came. I saw. I Concorde.

Re: Anyone else pretty much given up on dating?
Got a girls number at work the other week. Texted her briefly, but havent heard back from her at all. Tried to set up a date with her but she said she would get back to me once ahe gets back in town, this was three weeks ago. She could have just fucking lied and told me she had a boyfriend or even that she wasnt interested in dating at the mkment, but no, girls have to be fucking weird. Im a pretty straight up kinda guy although i can be a bit shy when it comes to these things so its just like cmon... be straight up or follow through! Im only 25 and at this point it seems like its just never going to really happen.

Yea,but no.

 Quoting: CigarTigher


I'm an optimist long term, but the recent past was a drain and I didn't waste the effort on the dating game, them you see brainwashed idiots on Tinder saying "If you voted for Trump, swipe left". It can lead one to wonder if intelligent life exists or if everyone is just a programmed lazy clone.

Hell yea.

If I see that a man is a hardcore leftist then I swipe to the left . It wouldn't work out .
 Quoting: CigarTigher


I've known a wonderful girl for a very long time, and we've been in and out of relationship. We almost got married but she wanted to stay single. She's hard core lefty, but we never let politics get between us. I consider her to be mentally ill regarding her political choices, and she feels the same about me. I still care for her as a truly good friend though. I am consoled that her stupid political ideas won't make any difference in the world, and for myself, I just live my life and ignore politics to the best of my ability.

I'm just looking for a drama-free relationship with a good woman that enjoys sex, intimacy, love, bonding and commitment to each other, along with not wanting kids.

Re: Anyone else pretty much given up on dating?
I am an older woman who has raised her family and as of last year realized I will live it out alone. It is a hard realization. I just don't feel like cleaning up after anyone else or dealing with someone's rotten ex-wife.

I did not picture my later years like this, but it is what it is.

Had I know I would be alone, I would have planned my finances differently. Now I am constantly playing make up as far as my 401k, etc. goes.

Yes, it is lonely. But being abused is much, much worse than being alone. The cost is loneliness once or twice a month. The benefit is not having to report to someone else or explain my actions. All in all, I am happy 28 days out of 30. I'll stay this way.

Same here, but financially I can afford a boy toy.

Very well said, I have been married several times to guys 10 yrs my younger and still into drugs and beer and women. I started thinking about me and am older now and alone but care for my handicapped son and young grandson, dont think a man would want to share my life with them.I am happy spending my time and money without having to ask a man if its ok.

Re: Anyone else pretty much given up on dating?
women are fickle, get one 10 years older than you and she will appreciate and value you way more.

Women your age or younger will always look at other men as potential upgrade to you.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73235996



This advice is ridiculous, of course a woman ten years older than you would appreciate you, because she is getting a guy way above her league. What kind of loser are you to even think about a notion like this? Basically you are opting to be second choice, because she turned down thousands of men like you when she was younger and now that she is older she is ready to settle down and appreciate a man. Forget that.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45139985


Who is this guy, Macron? Men are attracted to youth and fertility, period. Older women are no go. She's damaged goods. Used up. Infertile. Avoid at all costs. She has no reason to stay with you if you don't have kids. She will take you to the cleaners!

She's dating Aaron because he's a director and offering her movie roles. Sadly Lawrence is destroying her looks by overindulging in alcohol and who knows what else.

Agree you need to have similar lifestyles and values to be compatible. I could not date a man who didn't have a very healthy lifestyle. I've had to drop strictly platonic friends who couldn't accept my attetmpts to get physically stronger by avoiding certain food. Why others don't understand basic food allergies is beyond me. I want to stay physically fit and strong, as well as thin and curvy.
