fortyninethousand322 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 That disparity is all in your head. It doesn't exist for those who don't believe in it. So are most mental illnesses and addictions. Doesn't mean they don't affect people in real life. I've never felt like I was a woman's equal. Never will really.
fortyninethousand322 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Aren't you guys really tired of posting the same thing over and over again??? Maybe if you had a life or at least a variety of different things to talk about, you'd have better luck with women. I'd rather be shot dead than go for the typical whiny guy on LS. You can't get women as long as you make them feel this way. I can talk about the Super Bowl, the Ravens, the Orioles offseason moves (or lack thereof), other countries, history, cool movies. My life consists of basketball, working out, trying to get my business of the ground and whining on LS. That's a pretty busy life if you ask me...

fortyninethousand322 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I'd like to see a study done on the correlation between video game playing and difficulty getting dates, I bet it's pretty high. I played Madden 6 days ago. With my brother. We were reenacting the AFC championship game...
Keenly Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I'd like to see a study done on the correlation between video game playing and difficulty getting dates, I bet it's pretty high. interesting. Considering I have been an avid hardcore gamer since I was 8 or so, and have had plenty of dates and not as much difficulty actually getting them as these other guys I think its safe to say you are associating two things without a connection to each other.
Lonely Ronin Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Maybe 20 years ago but videogames are so mainstream nowadays, I know very few guys my age who don't play them The question is how much are they playing, not if they are. Hours a day lost in a make believe world, can't be good for your social life or skills.
TouchedByViolet Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I think a lot chronic suffers in dating (male and female) have something wrong with them but it isn't easily or even possible to fix sometimes. Personality issues are the most difficult to improve and some people just can't. Some people are just wired all ****ed up. In my age group (25) women are hot as hell relative to the men on average. Women are desired by men from like 18-40 easily. Options everywhere. I honestly empathize with the women who struggle with dating as well. It's just they are few and far between in my experience.
KungFuJoe Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 So are most mental illnesses and addictions. Doesn't mean they don't affect people in real life. I've never felt like I was a woman's equal. Never will really. Well...I'll be honest. I think a lot of the people here are not "normal". Not crazy pyscho...but just on the other side of the "normal" range when it comes to psyche.

I work in IT, i see a strong correlation in my un-successful piers.

Hours a day lost in a make believe world, can't be good for your social life or skills. Yeah I think you missed the mark with the video game analogy. I was as hardcore a gamer as there was when I was younger and I still play video games at the age of 38.
Keenly Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I work in IT, i see a strong correlation in my un-successful piers. I think I see where you are coming form.
Lonely Ronin Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 How is it any different than music, TVs or movies? IMO, you are not in control like you are in a game.
TouchedByViolet Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I work in IT, i see a strong correlation in my un-successful piers. I've seen the same in some of my friends. Men who study or excel in the arts generally do a lot better with women. They can invoke feelings, emotion, and attraction easier. It is an art form.
KungFuJoe Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I guess it also depends on the type of game. Mmorpg? Yeah, maybe that might hurt your social skills. I don't know though because I've never played one. I was mostly into FPS...mindless violence is my forte.
fortyninethousand322 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 In my age group (25) women are hot as hell relative to the men on average. Women are desired by men from like 18-40 easily. Options everywhere. I've thought about this sometimes. Maybe I should get my life together, make some money and then when I'm like 35 or so try to date some college aged women or women in their mid 20s. See if that evens the odds so to speak.
KungFuJoe Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Oh...well, it's common knowledge that guys in IT couldn't find a women unless they programmed one themselves.
fortyninethousand322 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Oh...well, it's common knowledge that guys in IT couldn't find a women unless they programmed one themselves. You know what though, I wish I was good at IT. At least then I could get a decent job and have something going right in my life. Right now, no (paying) job + no women = complete failure at life.
mesmerized Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I can talk about the Super Bowl, the Ravens, the Orioles offseason moves (or lack thereof), other countries, history, cool movies. My life consists of basketball, working out, trying to get my business of the ground and whining on LS. That's a pretty busy life if you ask me... Shhhh, you're not the typical whiny man on LS. You know how I know? cause I kinda like you. My issue is the men who make threads about the same thing every day or every other day...There must be something wrong with how their brain functions. At least wait a month or two weeks for god's sake. You can't be THIS obsessed and say women cannot pick up on that in real life. 4
fortyninethousand322 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Money won't make you much happier, trust me All it is just freedom from financial worries. It won't bring you any luck in dating either - I make as much as 10 times more than several of my friends who are completely broke yet have beautiful girlfriends I don't think money would necessarily make me better at dating. I'm just saying it would make me feel better about my life track. I think my dad is getting annoyed that I still live at home. If I had an active dating life, I could at least hang my hat on that.

Right now, no (paying) job + no women = complete failure at life. Hey at least you didn't catch your gf fooling around with your boss. I quit my job the next day. How I didn't beat the crap out of the guy is beyond me...but I guess I felt more sorry for him than anything...as weird as that sounds.

Freud preferred treating the affluent as they didn't blame their problems on a lack of money. Edited January 27, 2013 by Joaquin
Truthsayer Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 You also have to TELL yourself that you CAN succeed, Just because you have a positive mind set doesn't guarantee success. You have to deal with things better than this. Blaming others for problems that YOU can fix. What if you cant fix the problems? Even better what if your fine the way you are and anybody not down with that can keep it moving.
mesmerized Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 It's possible also that the majority of these bitter male posters here are just a few people with multiple alter egos.
ThaWholigan Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Just because you have a positive mind set doesn't guarantee success. What if you cant fix the problems? Even better what if your fine the way you are and anybody not down with that can keep it moving. It doesn't guarantee success, but at least you won't be a whiny bitch about it on the internet . And if you were fine how you were, and you were happy with how fine you were, you wouldn't have as much trouble finding someone who was also fine with how you were. 1
KungFuJoe Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Going back to this thread, anybody who says that women don't have it much much easier in dating is smoking crack In any situation where the opposite party is expected to do all the work and is faced with much much higher standards and expectations, then the opposite party obviously has it much harder. This is common sense. I can't believe anybody would deny it I'm not saying this means to quit and give up but don't be delusional either. Just admit reality and say we gotta do what it takes to find some success Seriously...this is the stance I'm just going to take from now on whenever anyone on LS talks about how it's unfair to be a man and how much easier it is for women: I'm just a studly god of masculinity that defies all logic and norms. I kinda like that. I guess if I can't help anyone on LS I'll just help myself. 2
