What a soul-crushingly realistic way to look at things.


And entirely wrong.

I came up with a set of goals (for myself) to get into a relationship and I'm wondering what you strangers on the Internet might think, and if you have anything to add?
1) Working out. I believe that for me at least, a sound and confident mind can only exist in a sound and confident body. Bonus is you look good too.
2) Persistence. Don't be creepy or pushy, though, know when to stop. But if your will is broken immediately then who would want to be with you?
3) Emotional discipline. Don't let your feelings get out of control for one person. They're human, just like everyone else, and there's probably a better one out there if you're really honest with yourself.
4) Have fun. Don't freak out, or you'll seem desperate. Just relax, love yourself, and people will see you're healthy and things will begin to come more easily from there.

Is there anything I might be missing? Or you think I'm wrong on?

Essentially. I'm not suggesting that my advice is the truth and nothing but, I'm saying it's something you can consider. Either way, regardless of whose advice you follow, it's going to end up with the same net result.

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


Because sorting yourself out before you go out looking for a relationship is a bad thing now?

pay attention to the potential object of your affections, be a good listener, be empathetic, have intelligent conversations with them, be funny, be sincere.

Yes. Forget doing it for getting laid and do it for yourself.

People like people who feel good about themselves. It's normal for people to be around other people like them.

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.

Well, how you come across is desperate, honestly. It's like "oh if you don't have any money you can't possibly have a date".

That's a bunch of crap.

It does seem rather foolish to dismiss someone on that without goid reason. Given many people will experience some form of it throughout their lives.

I agree with what you've added! But it doesn't come easily for all of us. If you were implying my input is easier said than done, however, I'd agree with you there then too.

And it is entirely wrong because while money matters, is not everything. If it was, then women wouldn't be dating men of all social classes. They'd be dating the rich guys. Obviously that's not true if you go outside for a second and look around you.
