@TheAurora I was coming of age in the late 1990s and early 00s.
Women were just as slutty back then.
People who came of age in the 1960s and 1970s assure me that it was the same back then.
Human nature doesn't change.
Only technology and culture do.
So, are things overall getting worse for dating
No.
and society?
Yes.
Just focus on what you can change/affect. Get off the apps and approach IRL. Stop looking for lil' Miss Wholesome (who doesn't exist) and just get laid.
@TheAurora What @derdeutscher said.
The worldview you’ve presented is a worldview seen through multiple varieties of screens. Form a real worldview born of life experience out in the world, and independent of seeking out confirmation of the negative aspects put out by someone else.
An average guy might have gotten a lot of matches in Southeast Asia and Latin America around 5 years ago but now it is hard even in those places.
Where in Southeast Asia are you? “Matches” is a funny way of saying “pick girls up at the bar.” Which kind of speaks to the idea of a worldview that isn’t born of living in the real world.
1) Delete dating apps
2) Minimize screen time generally
3) Enjoy life as it comes
Plug out bro, plug out.
Maybe i should write a social skills book...
Things are getting harder?
I know this platform is not the most active anymore but I don't know where else to post this. I feel like women are becoming more hypergamous than ever, dating apps are essentially dead. Even for geoarbitrage: An average guy might have gotten a lot of matches in Southeast Asia and Latin America around 5 years ago but now it is hard even in those places. Women everywhere are running around in skin tight leggings, sometimes these chicks are not even 18. So everywhere you go is basically sexualised. And this is getting more, not less, due to Tik Tok and the likes frying the brains of the new generations. So, are things overall getting worse for dating and society?
@Vermillion-Rx some of them look the same with or without
Some are like night and day
I'll see what happens. It's almost entirely a self medication to me during stress but I've been dealing with my emotions and stress without it while keeping my promises to go 2 months at least
I'm genuinely not worried about fun drinking. Fun drinking has never hooked me. Even at parties or drinking with a woman i had over was virtually always proportionate to my stress levels and whatever toxicity we had
I'm learning to say no to crap that makes me unhappy
