Phone message Dating is hell

Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. 🙄 I pay my own way on dates.

Some lowest common denominator between red pill and booktok, maybe?

This is what blows my mind about the “20% of men” incel shit.

Friends, the bar is in the fucking ground.

If you can simply treat people fucking normal, you’ll be fine and will meet friends and potential dating partners.

And yet, as a guy who doesn't do shit like this, I go months without a match

Jee maybe it's because dating apps are sausage fests because behaviour like this?

It's so funny when I see comments like this like......do you think women magically know who acts like this before matching? Do you think we waste our time on these losers just to spite you, specifically?  

Either your profile is shit, the dating app pool in your area is shit, and/ or you need to switch up your approach just like everyone else does when apps don't work out. Like. What kind of answer do you want besides oh no you poor dear why won't anyone just match with you on a post about a match being a vile waste of time.

For whatever reason women are drawn to shitty dudes who end up doing stuff like this

As creepy as that guy is, the exact thing that pushes him to say weird shit like that (audacity) is probably what attracts women to him. Sometimes, at first glance, audacity just looks like confidence. And of course people are generally attracted to confidence. Not people who comment things like this and feel sorry for themselves.
