    The whole reason why he is not with someone is because Tinder is literally all about how you look like. If Tinder was solely about personality and his thoughts I assure you most people would have dates by now. But it's gotta be said: Looks get you in the door, and personality makes you stay.

    "your standards are too high" I been saying that, with my male/female friends who start complaining about not getting matches, I call them out on it because I hear them every day talking about it. You DO get matches but the matches are not up to your standards, but you can't sit there and expect an 8+ person to look past your looks and value your personality when you yourself are not even doing that. I had one friend who is over weight and they wanted a really fit partner, because "that's just what I'm attracted to, I shouldn't have to lower my standards, I want what I want" and in the SAME breathe they complained how that fit person didn't match them and complained how it's not fair, "they aren't even giving me a chance" while there was someone else less attractive hitting them up and they said "I mean, they are ok but I'm not attracted to them, so they just have to respect that" blows my mind every time.

    I always had a horrible time online dating. Terrible for self esteem.
    But I went to the gym every day and had a cute personal trainer. But she had already kinda “gave up” on dating because she ended up dating some horrible people.
    Because of that I was sad and pretty also “gave up” looking for a girl. So I was really open with my trainer, and wasn’t shy and actually acted like myself and we became really good friends and really liked each other, and that alone was all it took for me to find out that she also liked me.
    She made the first move on me, and now 6 and a half years later we’ve been married for 6 years.
    So it’s not the worst thing to try to meet girls without the intention of dating them, just make friends with the ones that have the same interests as you and and hobbies as you. Then when you get to know them you may find that one/a few of them would be a great match for you, and maybe you’ll find out some of the girls you like might also not be someone you’d match well with.

    You guys are the bigger brothers I wish I had when I was working this out for myself.
    It was a long road, chewy as it sounds the key take away was always self acceptance. Then you can appreciate that others feel and accept how they want. Sometimes your seen in favour. Sometimes your not - not much you can do about that. But you can kick with the wind. Play to your strengths.
    Remember hot or not?? I was consistently rated as a 6 to a 9, this is based on aesthetics of the face alone.
    I managed to get onto a site where people vote you on, it was called Darwin dating.
    That didn’t translate in the real world because like it was said above, I had interest but from people I deemed below my station. Looking back, none of them were bad, I’d go back in time and kick myself in the shins and potentially a good hiding. The only thing that stunk was my arrogance, my ineptitude and my lack of awareness and understanding.
    I took up hobbies and worked on myself for years, when I decided I wasn’t about trying to please anyone else and just please myself, the offers came in. I went on more dates. Some crashes and burned, some went ok, some went well - the key take away is I got experiences of company, social situations and more importantly, got to eat some great food and went to places I might not have gone to other wise.
    I know I’m waffling, but if there’s one thing, if it even helps anyone out there.
    Just enjoy life. Your not as ugly as you think you are. One place of happiness is another man’s place of misery. Get out there and live for you, that someone will come along on an idle Tuesday when your doing something inane - now, what you gonna do? Focus on what might go wrong? No, focus on what potentially could go right and live in the moment. Don’t take it so personally. Appreciate the opportunity cause one day, you might not have it.

    2. To boost the ego of women and make them think they are all celebs.

So, I picked up going to the gym, got into good shape, started changing the way I looked, but most importantly... I stopped caring so much. I noticed, going to the bars, hanging out with friends, etc, girls were starting to talk to me when I was just having fun with no expectations except to have a good time(without a female as the priority).

      I would agree with that. In a sense, I've kinda stopped caring about actually getting a woman, but I know that in most social things with people I don't know (coworkers or family), whether it's a man or woman, I feel like I'm either too aggressive in talking (when it does happen), or I just work to project not an air of uncaring but an air of "literally do not talk to me, period". I can say "it's what I want, anyways", sure, but sometimes I feel like I struggle with a "need" to talk to others that goes against that projection. It doesn't help I don't try to do social outings or anything because "I don't have any hobbies they like and I don't think I'll really care about hobbies they like".
      But hey, at least I've never used a single dating app in my life! The only reason I would is to make sure other people I know won't take jokes about making profiles for me seriously and actually do it.

      The grass isn't always greener on the other side too. I'm an average looking woman. And I get lots of matches on Tinder. Why ? Because guys swipe on every profile, they don't even read or even look at the profile.
      So for example I might get 70 matches in a day, but only get 10 messages from those matches. And out of the 10 messages only 2 are interested in going on a date. The other 8 are just looking for a hookup. And out of the 2 who are interested on a date with you, you find out that all 2 of them have baggage (e.g they have children' or have mental issues or don't have a stable job or have a criminal past).
      So yeah, Tinder is only paradise for women who are looking for a hookup with an attractive guy. But it's a nightmare for women who are looking for a relationship.

    In a lot of cases, your love life really boils down to just not being in the right place at the right time. There are so many factors outside one's control that falling into the redpilly habit of blaming others (or falling into the blackpill pit of blaming others *and oneself* ) is especially destructive.
    All you have to do is accept what you are and what you have. Note that I meant "accept" and not "resign", everyone of you has intrinsic value and it must be acknowledged wholeheartedly along with your flaws.
    On the other hand, comparisons are sometimes inevitable. Rather than avoiding comparing yourself to others at all costs, I suggest it's better to change the scope and compare your former self to your present-day self. If you cringe at a picture of you during your teenage years, that's a very good sign you are capable of becoming better and better.
    As for the dating market, know that you can only control so much. Maybe you find someone, maybe you don't. Coming to terms with this uncertainty is key.

      Let me tell you, if you're not attractive physically, it doesn't matter what you do or how you act. Also, consider the numbers: there is not anywhere near the number of single women than there are single men, meaning that men no matter what are doomed to fail and this has a knockback effect that makes women even more entitled because they have far more options at their disposal. Men not so much, and when you realize that you become desperate because you're fighting against literally everything. At that point the world is against you, no hyperbole needed. Men are against you, women are against, the entire society is your enemy. And people wonder why people like ER and AM and JD emerge.

      @@danieljliverslxxxix1164 Why are you so bent on justifying that warped outlook with numbers that are patently false. There are a few more women because men live harsher lives on average, but the number of women generally is (roughly) the same as men, all other things being equal (looking at you China). And even where that's not true, guaranteed that money talks and your BS about looks walks. You are desperate and don't know anything about women, so you can't decide if it is their fault for you not being good looking or being rich so you just blame your weirdness and awkwardness on them. Apparently, you didn't get the message that the day one lesson is to never come off as desperate. Don't worry about the rest of it as long as that is true.

    This is why I don't like the concept of online dating and will never try it, it just seems so forced to me. Everyone knows why they're there, and it feels strange to browse through a catalogue of profiles and go "that one!". Like you mentioned, people just need to talk to women without an ulterior motive and get comfortable doing it. The person that you click with might be someone you'd pass on normally. The last time I was dating someone was 10 years ago in my early twenties, where I was trying too hard and being weird, now I've learned to be content working on myself, and whatever happens, happens.

    Can I just say that the guy who is the subject matter of this video, I used to be exactly like him. I used to be profoundly sad about not being able to match with anyone on these dating apps, and the longer that I stayed on these apps the more hurt I got. It used to occupy my mind on a daily basis, the fact that I was in my late 20's and hadn't gotten a date yet, let alone be in a relationship. This was also the time when the MeToo movement was really strong in the media, and some of the vitriol that that movement was encouraged or helped putout was very strong, particularly on Twitter, Reddit etc. It caused me to become really depressed, I'd have suicidal and intrusive thoughts throughout the day of every day, and I got angry or sad over trivial things. I also had irregular sleep cycles too. However, things began to get better when I started to seek psychiatric help, and I was put on an antidepressant over a number of months. So I just wanted to let people who are in a similar situation as him, that how you feel and what you are going through is not something unique, and that you're not a failure, and MOST importantly things do get better.

      You may as well say nothing if that's all you have.

    People or human beings in general are selfish creatures and this selfishness gets more and more profound as time continues as to what I’ve observed so far. Rarely you would see a selfless person these days helping with something, expecting nothing in return, just purely of heart.
    You (as a guy) could be someone’s free meal ticket, free ride, free rent, free attention and validation etc. etc.
    Knowing that do not be a selfish, heartless person in return, but do be very mindful of your surroundings and know how to navigate through those situations(Adapt).

    Get off the apps. Tinder isn't a dating app, it's a hookup app. People need to go out in the real world and build REAL connections with people, that's how you grow as a person. They sound socially awkward so they need to expose themselves to more social interactions. I was socially awkward until I pushed myself to talk to people. It's not wonder why so many more people are socially awkward in an age where people live a huge amount of their lives online.

There are many more things to life than women, if all types of men focused on other things, society would quickly fall into normality again because women would not survive without the attention.

    Getting no matches is actually hella common. And no, it's not always high standards. You can swipe right on every pic, and still get no match. And yeah, it crushes your soul. Day after day, week after week, no matches. You try new pictures, new ways of presenting yourself, but no one bites. And when you do get a match after months, you get ghosted in 2 messages. I thought maybe I was ugly. I asked people I knew to rate me honestly, I went on forums and asked what people thought. And no, I wasn't anywhere near ugly. I was average. That confused the heck outta me.
    I ended up uninstalling these apps realizing that it was only going make me more aware of how lonely I was. And guess what? I got a girlfriend. We're not together anymore, due to circumstances (me having to move thousands of miles away being one of said circumstances), but the point remains. I wasn't undatable. Heck, I had other girls approach me too. These apps can suck your soul out and ruin your day. And sometimes, you're better off without them. That's my case.

    I agree with the lowering standards part, but like honestly the disparity is insane. I'm not a beautiful guy, but I'm normally formed and healthy, and the only matches I got were morbidly obese girls that I could only be attracted to when I was drunk. I quit the dating apps 2 years ago (and at the same time there was COVID lol) so I didn't have any romantic encounter for 2 years, but even then I'm really happy I quit. This environment was hella toxic for me, and to be fair, for this reason I became kinda toxic to it too, always thinking the few matches I had were playing me and stuff.
    As guys we need to support each other and respectfully make it clearer to society that not *all* dating can happen online. I used to be able to meet a lot of people at the bar, or during course and stuff, but a big negative consequence of online dating is a lot of women are now very hostile towards natural encounters. Also (maybe for the same reasons) most of the social events I know are now like 90% men (a good third of whom couldn't care less about the nature of the event).
    It's a really delicate topic to discuss because people will instantly reply with: "WELL YOU GOT TO LEARN YOU'RE NOT ENTITLED TO SEX OK?". Yeah I know, but it still hurts.
    I don't think women overall are happy either though, even if they have a constant access to sex, from what I gather from the women I know they also have a really hard time forming long lasting relationships, so nobody wins.

      I can rock with this. I spent from 28 - 33 heavily chasing marriage and children (keyword chasing). By the time I got to 34, I was so burned out. I got so tired of questioning every move I made in life and the fact that I was no longer having fun or even enjoying life.
      At 34, I decided I’m just going to have fun and whatever happens, happens. Went on a lot of dates and enjoyed most of them. Met my current girlfriend right before I turned 35 and I’m 38 now.
      I will say 2 things I had to accept was that I likely wasn’t going to have kids and marriage had to fall from a priority to I can take it or leave it. My current girlfriend has been married before and has 2 grown kids (she’s older than me). She’s does not want more kids and she has a stable career and household.
      At 38, this is not how I envisioned my life (no kids), but honestly I grew to love it. I have the freedom to do what I want, and I think secretly my girlfriend likes it too, as she was a single parent for most of her child rearing years. She’s low key over that part of her life.
      Some people quite frankly never get to where I’m at. They will always have that burning desire to have kids and be married. However, I think there does come a time where you have to come to terms with certain goals in your life. Mine was marriage and kids. If I was ever going to enjoy my time on this earth, I had to refocus on what was important and actually attainable for my life. You don’t want to be in your 40s and look back at your body of work and realize you didn’t accomplish much of anything.
      Life keeps on moving and only moves faster as you get older. Learn how to enjoy other areas of your life and you’ll hopefully get to a point in your life where you do feel okay with where your life is!

I'm perfectly okay being single because I got all my friends and fam with me. Ik it's not gonna last forever but you gotta keep your head up.
    A problem that I noticed in HS and community college is that a lot of people (mostly guys) are so desperate that they would tear their world down for another person who doesn't even love them like that; it's crazy. In HS, I always knew that I would get friendzoned 100% of the time. Instead of looking at it negatively, I just kept my head up and I supported all of them through their endeavors whenever I could as they supported me.

If it hadn't been for that picture, and taking the time to actually look through her pictures, I might have swiped left. Meeting her is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

    Dating apps suck, I would get matches, but I would match with women that looked good on their profiles, but in real life their pics were heavily filtered or edited.🙄 The conversations were TERRIBLE, lol most conversations were soo stale that I felt that I had to do all the work just to get to know someone. I have a single friend that actually got a pretty girlfriend through a dating app and they've been together for a while BUT all my other friends don't have any success, lol.

    Meeting people in real life, not on the Internet, is always best. Talking face to face is always best. Get out there in the real world and meet a lot of people. Talking to people out in society helps you to be more comfortable talking to people when you're face to face. These people just looking at people online on social media, talking through messaging, texting, not even talking on the phone. So when they meet someone in real life, face to face, they act so awkward, they are so nervous, they can't carry a conversation. I'm old school, I'm 46. Before the internet/social media, we just talked to each other. Face to face. Years later, I tried talking to people online. You can't really get a feel of a person, you don't know if they really look like the pictures they put online, you can't really tell what their personality is truly like just by messaging online. I'd rather meet someone in the real world, have a guy approach me, I see what he looks like, I get a real insight to his personality, and we can just talk. No messaging, no phones. Real life, face to face. If it works out it works out, if not, that's ok. You move on, there's plenty more people out there.

For example, there was a girl I liked that I felt super nervous around and I acted fucking goofy (I'm mexican, but I look like i'm middle eastern) so I played the stereotypical mexican-Arabic and I was fucking cringe. After I shoot my shot and missed, I dropped the act and was just me.
    we talk a little and as time passes (few months) I start realizing she coming to my side of the room on a regular bases. I ask my friend what the deal was and he said " dude, are you serious?"
    "Yeah"
    " dude she likes you?"
    I'm in just in shock because in my head I already had that idea well she don't like me, move on.

Sometimes online dating is your only option, even if you know your chances are close to zero. I have tried the get fit and join a social group. Tried it for 2 years. Made no difference. People want bright, happy, fun people. Introverts cannot just become that. And before you say it, introvert women, don't want introvert men.

Plus most guys can't take a good photo to save their lives, they have no perception on what women usually find attractive.

      Don’t worry about it too much brother. These apps have an over saturation of men using them so only a small % reap the rewards while the rest are left with nothing, not to mention the algorithm punishing you if you have swiped too many times on your account therefore making your account not visible to others.

    I literally got zero matches in the 3 different times I tried the apps. Trust me, it was NEVER a matter of standards. I swiped ugly people on purpose... NOTHING. Sometimes, and I really do mean sometimes, it's actually as they say it is. No matches come through at all.
    I just felt like some people might blame themselves over shit like that being said, then they lower their standards so much, they end up in abusive/unhappy relationships

Well as I was going through the 500+ guys, one of the guys who I swiped right on all of a sudden disappeared. Lol. I guess he said to himself " no, fat chick allowed" but wanted to see who would bite. 🤷🏽‍♀️

    This was some actual advice here. Take them seriously and change your life. When you stop blaming others and start just making corrections to your personal situation you can thrive. Wherever you are at you can improve, improvement is a long-term goal. It will NOT happen over night but over months and years. This is cool, you are already doing it but with focus you can accelerate the process.

    Look, finding a real relationship on a social platform is unlikely and a waste of time. The best way to find a real connection with someone is face-to-face. Even texting and snapchatting is nothing compared to actually seeing one another and having meaningful conversation. Social media has really ruined reality for us and discouraged so many people from realizing the problem is how we meet people.

    I feel sorry for some folks in their 20s having difficulty with dating. The Tinder thing is about quick sex, not dating or relationships. But aside from that it seems to me dating has gotten more weird or difficult. I feel for this guy because he's not super handsome but he wants a relationship. But he must, I think, look at his strong suits. And meet women on the long term.

      It's nice to have people to sympathize, but I think he needs at least one brutally honest friend. I need one too! A pal once asked me what he could change about himself to attract girls, and I gave him an essay about how he can't change his height, but his wardrobe! He has a girlfriend now.

      The issue is these apps hoards a lot of dating energy and ruins the view people have on life.
      For a guy's or chick perspective it can be awesome if you are very very good looking and shallow.
      If you look average it varies. For the guy it's little to no matches with women who are not eager to meet you (by comparison to other matches).
