  • Is Gen Z loneliness a result of dating apps?
    Today I use my infinite wisdom to discuss the complications of modern dating methods and their consequences. Are dating apps truly for the greater good? Or are they manipulative and EVIL?
    (remember that this is just my opinion. As an internet guy, I simply agree with you... and you... and everyone)

    If this guy isn't getting matches, it's so over for me.

      It is. For both of us. At least in terms of dating apps.
      That's why I deviced a new method. And I'm willing to share it with you. But be aware: it requires you to approach women in public. So it's not necessarily an easy method. But maybe you'll be able to get something out of it for yourself anyway, so here is what I came up with:
      We all know that approaching women in public is kind of the "classic way" of things. And I mean public in general, not night clubs in particular or anything like that. Could be on a train or in the grocery store. In fact, I believe that my method works best when applied during daylight and not in the evening and in circumstances when many women expect to be approached.
      The issue with talking to women out of the blue during the day nowadays is that is quite easy for it to be inappropriate. Like, she didn't choose to be on that train with you and it would be a hassle for her to get off of it before her stop. So you kinda have her cornered, which is obviously not something you want to do, because you don't want her to be feel threatened by you. So if you ask a girl for her number in such a situation, she probably won't give you her real one anyway.
      So, what you do instead is, you give her your number. Like, on a card. A business card, if you will. This card should include your number, obviously, but also your name (only the first name, of course) and what exactly you suggest, like, "Wanna grab some coffee some time?" You can further "personalize" your card, with a cute little doodle or something, if that's your kind of thing. But it should be something you did yourself. If you can make it funny and memorable, that's a bonus, too. But don't overwork it! It should always retain the look that you just scribbled it down just for her and not days or weeks in advance (so especially no printing!).
      When it actually comes to giving her your card, make sure that you're polite, brief, and not intrusive in any way. Say something like, "Hi. I couldn't help noticing you, given those tremendously noticable features of yours." (Which is obviously a placeholder for actual features you noticed about her. Clothing or hairstyles work best here.) Don't shower her in compliments, because that's intrusive. Say one or two sentences at most and then go with, "I would really like to get to know you, if you will. Just think about it and text me", and you give her your well-prepared card. Make sure that you convey that she doesn't have to text you (because she in fact doesn't) and that you do not expect any form of explanation if she doesn't want to hang out with you (because she doesn't owe you one).
      Also, make sure you pull this off shortly before you part ways. For instance, if on a train, do it shortly before either your or her stop. Prolonged vicinity would only result in awkwardness and you don't want to part from her leaving that impression.
      I won't lie to you. Most women will not text you. Some will even be so upfront to not even accept your card. From those women that do text you, most will only do so to inform you that they're not interested in meeting you (which is a nice thing to do, not leaving you hanging, so be grateful for that). So the odds are not good. But let's face it: they never were.
      But nevertheless, there are still benefits to my method. When done right, it is socially acceptable and applicable in almost any situation. If you worry about giving your number to a whole lot of strangers, you can simply get a second SIM card just for that purpose.
      The drawback of course is that you'd probably have to prepare hundreds of cards (all hand-written!) and carry them around at all times, without anyone noticing that you carry a stack of cards with you. Remember: the impression you want to give off is that you wrote it just then and there and just for her. (You can, of course, actually do that: write it then and there. Just remember to carry around those blanco cards with you. You don't want to hand her an old napkin or anything like that.)
      So yeah, that's basically it. Good luck, mate. Should you ever try something along those lines, I'd like to hear how it went.

    I've been off dating apps since November. I may or may not give them another chance in a few months, but with the start of the new year I really just want to get the ball rolling with my goals i.e. looking at better jobs, going to the gym, making videos, etc. I used as more of a time killer than anything else when I was bored. My mindset was 'if I meet cool girls on bumble or hinge, great. If not, who cares.' I have had brief relationships thanks to those apps over the years. It's not that I think they're better or worse than dating girls you meet in person, but it seems to be that every time I have feelings for someone, they're already taken or it's just dreadfully obvious that they're not interested. Good thing about talking to someone on a dating app is when you're chatting over text and eventually meet them, at least you know they're at least somewhat into you. But I got rid of them because nowadays I just wanna work on myself. Spotify should make a dating app that matches you with people of your music taste. Ik I'm not the first person to say that, but I take it as a huge green flag when a woman loves alternative, punk, metal, and classic/hard rock as much as I do

      Yes, you are one of the lucky guys indeed. And thereby you are part of the problem (through to no fault of your own). I'll explain:
      If nobody got lucky ever, it would be easy for guys to resist the lure of dating apps. But you simply know there are guys out there who in fact did got lucky, in the past so you can't help yourself but wonder if maybe you too could be one of those rare exceptions. It's the very same reason why people participate in the lottery or develop a gambling habit.
      To every guy thinking that maybe they could be one of the lucky ones, let me tell you: no, you're not. You're not the exception. Do never base your life decisions on the assumption that things turn out differently for you than they do in the general case. It's not going to work out for you. You are not maxweing9843 and you never will be. You are a usual guy and things will go the usual way for you.
