if only it were that easy ._.

Hmm ok, I got rid of the BS line. I'll add a little more interesting stuff that's more specific about myself after my opening in my bio. I'll brainstorm and flesh out the qualifier as well.

memes in my profile cuz I noticed these are a thing a lot of girls have in theirs and i thought these were funny

Ok, I removed the memes line and the stuff after 6'1 I also changed it to "Thrill seeker and adventure enthusiast" and added a weight lifting, camera and motorcycle emoji Do you think "Looking for a girl that is more than just an instagram photo" or "Looking for a girl as cool as me" are fine? Any other ideas for a qualifier? Should I add anything else? I feel like less is more when it comes to this stuff but I'm not sure entirely I'll try to make my messages I send especially openers congruent with my bio

what are some other good ways to start a conversation without giving any sort of compliment of any kind? I just sent a few more messages: for example a hot girl in a cute dress by a painting I wrote "Cute dress but you aren't holding a glass of red wine, not sophisticated enough :smugfaceemoji" trying to figure out other ways to start conversations that are engaging. maybe I should go full edgy/polarizing and just wrote "you aren't holding a glass of red wine, not sophisticated enough :smugfaceemoji" ??

Yeah, I agree. I think for the convo that went well I tried to implement the idea of "push/pull" where I give a compliment but I sort of take it away a little with something else so it kinda has that feel of not being kiss ass and it sort of balances it out and seems not as needy. The girl with the tats I did this as well which got a response (she was showing off her tats super try hard in her pics and talking about how she doesn't care about guys with them)

So basically I was on a free account and wasn't getting matches. I have six photos of myself that have all been approved by two girls and a few other friends of mine. They are great photos. I decided to add 3 memes as well which are sort of cocky funny / "bad boyish" and a little sexual. Also added a dumb bio I found online that makes me sound sorta fuckboyish which idk I think girls react to this stuff over something "nice." Kinda corny but it seems to have improved my profile I think. I used this opening on one other girl. she liked my pic but I didn't get a response. this seems to be going somewhere. gonna think of something to reply back that isn't low effort but also not tryhard. maybe best to just transition to basic conversation since she seems into me. another fail with this line grifting her art work on tinder??? feel like my reply was a fail have gotten 14 matches with hot girls in the last four days since getting the prem service and adding some memes and a dumb stuff to my bio any advice?

I wonder what can be done about this on the short term or is this going to go down in the history books as a forgotten tragedy?

has this been posted? this is insane and fucked up is it even possible to boycott China? I am trying consciously to try my best not to spend any money on stuff made there. China has the largest mass incarceration of an ethnic group since the holocaust.

"asshole" and "nice guy" are just sort of catch all caricature phrases used mainly by the masses that haven't contemplated the dynamics as deeply so they are a little helpful when talking generally but aren't always clear representations. The nice guy will act sweet and like a total suck up and pathetic push over and then throw a fit when he doesn't get what he desires because to him he was "being nice" so he deserves it. The asshole will come off a little stage red. Do whatever to get what he wants without showing weakness and this includes manipulating and abusing. He will lead but his means of leading is toxic like a dictator or through creating some sort of wound cycle the girl has. The asshole will get some romance/sex because he has the general qualities down for masculine/feminine attraction but it will often times be with women with low self esteem and that are naive. There are plenty of women out there like this though so the asshole can stay an asshole if he so desires to or until his girl wises up and breaks his heart in return.

There are more distinctions to be made when it comes to masculine character though over physical beauty I would say. Women get better at smelling out healthy masculinity over toxic. The asshole who was having some luck is masculine for sure but it's sort of a neurotic version of it. Masculine anything will always be attractive to women but the more they are able to tell what kind a man is (if they are wise enough to learn) they will gravitate away from those they know are toxic for the sake of their heart, unless they are trapped in that cycle of associating abuse with romance.

I noticed young women will go through a phase where they will date a few asshole/manipulative guys and then either a) repeat this a million times and become more and more neurotic b) learn from it and start choosing better partners. I've also seen guys including myself who were assholes and got laid because of it but upon self reflection realized that is not the person I want to be and grow from it. A lot of people go through these phases when they are young.

It's getting sort of annoying how the word asshole is constantly used when this question is brought up. When I think of an asshole I think of a guy that is downright disrespectful, abusive, shaming and a liar. Naive girls that get walked over will fall for these guys sometimes. Just because you are outgoing, self confident, a little edgy and not a people pleaser doesn't mean you're an asshole.

let those garbage senators go on the history book

cause leo still has some more to learn about women

why did you mom put you on a dating site? she doesn't like your current boyfriend?

it depends on the person. I would say neither sex is more hornier than the other. both are equally horny. women just aren't usually as down to fuck as quickly as men are since there is more risk for them on the physical (pregnant, STD more likely, safety) end and maybe on the emotional one as well.

OP needs to cultivate more self love

I don't think you need to look at being the one to make the first move as a bad thing. Why paint it as an automatic negative? Where does the "negative" in it exist? Couldn't it all the same be a positive or be seen as an opportunity or something fun to do? What you are describing is a symptom. What I think is behind this is that you are more so afraid of feeling rejected or having some feelings of not being good enough come up. These can be quite painful to face when it comes to dating.

I have been through this before where my art just flows from me and I am creating one masterpiece after the next and then other times where I'm shooting blanks. When I experience this I just try to relax and not force anything. No need to freak out and feel bad about it. Journaling and writing down ideas helps. Anything to just keep the wheels rolling a bit. Focusing on sleep and nutrition and all that. Basically, no need to force anything, just keep doing what you're doing, studying and letting yourself enjoy the process of creation and just being proud of whatever outcome you get even if it isn't the one you expected. Remind yourself why you undertook this endeavor in the first place.

so basically a quarter of them were dumb stage blue military folk and the rest were raccoon fuckers from some nowhere county that has only a waffle house open past 11pm. got ya

This is such a dumb thread

I think he is over blowing this problem a bit but he does make a somewhat true vague point. It will be more difficult to date if there is a gender imbalance depending on which side you are on. Men in Europe and Russia post WWII basically were treated like princess and baby boys by women and had it super easy then due to there being way less of them after the war. In some countries today it is reversed now. It's just life these days for some men. My heart goes out to men in India and China. Guys in the US really have very little to complain about compared to how those guys have it. You're going to have to work and grow from this disadvantage or become a twitch viewer / gamer. The choice is yours.

I just got the prem service, added some memes to my pics and a dumb bio that makes me sound like some corny bad boy and I got some matches with hot girls lol american girls are weird. dunno why they are into that dumb fake acting persona like "I'm soooo interesting and edgy and exciting." smfh. that shit does not work in europe from my experience.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/93wmxv/can-a-company-patent-the-basic-components-of-psychedelic-therapy A better article on this topic. read the whole article. it goes into better detail on what's going on here. So basically they are filing broad patents (which is common when developing something new so when it is rejected you can focus more on what you've done that is original) on how to conduct psychedelic assisted therapy that are sort of a given to anyone familiar with doing psychedelics for personal growth. The concern is that people in the field think that the people granting patents may not be familiar with the process and grant a wider patent than is needed to Compass Pathways which could give them an unfair advantage.
