I've spent enough time trawling through the same shit on Reddit to know that people offering relationship advice online is a recipe for disaster. If there's anything to consider, it's this: if you're not physically attractive or have a bit of money, don't bother trying.

It's true, you can't buy or lift your way to a personality that is compatible with human beings.

Recently going through a bad breakup, had a vote with myself and I voted out even though I didn't realise what I was getting out of.

I can just post info or ask for help here instead of TET, and thus be less annoying, imo.


I know, I'm just being like this to get a point across. :p

It's not that this thread is useless, no, but that being in a relationship doesn't require hyper-strategic analysis of every situation you are ever faced on. Sometimes you will fuck up, and you have to learn how to laugh at your failures. You also have to learn how to go with the flow and not think about things too much. A girl will like you if you talk to her. If she is your friend, nothing lost, you just made a good friend. If they like you, more power to you.

Having a relationship is not the be-all end-all of interactions with the opposite sex.

"hyper-strategic analysis "
That's literally my personality/how my brain works.
I need to change it then. :meh:

Depends on the person. The wide array of people on this planet makes relationship advice pretty useless besides broad generalities.

its about sincerity, if you can fake that you can get any girl or boy you want.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

You can. Hence my post. If you are not at what women consider to be the "standard" of male beauty or have enough money to do things like go out for dinner at a nice restaurant, women are not interested. Why bother trying to advertise a substandard product when there are better walking ATM machines on the market?

Oh please. I've gotten dates and I don't have any money, nor do I flash money when I meet women or talk to them or anything like that. Most of them just don't know I have any money.

Could it be that you're wrong?

For the same reason he thinks people offering advice online is a recipe for disaster?

That being said, his mentality is a recipe for disaster.

Then they find out and they're out of there faster than you can say "but I have a great personality".

Could it be that you're wrong?


Nah. As I said, they find out sooner or later and bolt.

You're right. You will never find love. And it's all because of women. Definitely, 100% women and their disgusting attitudes towards the opposite sex.
