I just realized something about the dating world

I didn’t in any way intend to make anyone lose face, especially not any MGTOW, and I apologize if I came across that way. I can only speak for myself and my experiences. I am pretty old now (57), and kind of over looking for random hookups in general. I’d still do it if it’s convenient, but I’m not going to put any work into it at this point. I tried the online dating thing when I was young, going clear back to the Compuserv days when computers ran on coal. If you can make yourself happy playing the online dating game, go for it! I didn’t find it very productive, though there was some sex to be had. At the time I was still looking for the “right girl”. At my age now it’s pretty nasty, but if I was looking for hookups or even, as you say, companion dates I would likely have to go that way because I live in the boondocks. I won’t be a hypocrite and claim I would never do it, if I wanted to.
As with anyone here, I can only speak from my own perspective. If you can get anything from that it that helps, I am glad, but I am not any kind of a guru or anything. Humor is my way of coping. You will make your own way, as it should be, and I’m not going to look down on you for any opinions you have, and I would not expect you to care much if I did. I wish you nothing but success, by your own definition, whichever way you go.

Man, don’t worry about it. I am sure that you do much more good in this message board that this does not bother me all too much.

I’m not going to disagree with people’s thoughts on online dating. I don’t think it’s always the case, but almost always true. I use online dating, because I don’t really care to do anything else. I’m not that social over all, and I’ve never been inclined to talk to strangers in person much. In my life, I’ve only met women in bars and such a handful of times, never with much success. I’ve met women through acquaintances and activities I was involved in, the rest has been online. I’m not involve in too many activities these days.

Developing acquaintances and such takes a lot of effort. Online is easier. Part of my new years resolution is work on both, honestly. Develop more friends and make more of an effort to date…for fun and developing social skills.

And honestly, hook ups are not my highest priority. Sex is great, of course, but I like the idea of good companionship to go along with it.

Ok. Then do it.

We both agree on almost all of the same things. Thanks for giving your input. As for me, I am just doing online sites solely for companionship myself. When this site says that so many people have stds, why do I need to take a risk?

He’s right in the age department though. Many younger girls see these older feminists, and hear them bitch and complain, and they KNOW… men are not looking for feminists c~~~s. Some of them have a different game. They are still not to be trusted, but 100x more fun to be with.

@jan.
This is the second outright lie I’ve seen with dating sites.
Depressing yet refreshing at the same time.
“They lie they lie they lie” as Chris Rock says.
However with online dating it’s there in black and white, recorded, irrefutable.
As for me, they lie once = it’s over, “Next!”

Well, not only online dating, but dating in general. It’s best not to take it too seriously so we won’t waste time feeling upset about women that act stupid or betray a mutually agreed upon relationship. In fact, it’s not going to do us any good worrying too much about our lack of mental/physical development. I think we should just develop at our own pace and try to have as much enjoyment as possible before we die. If casual dating is all that a man wants, he should make that clear to the woman he’s dating so she can decide if she’d rather be in a romantic relationship that leads to marriage. There’s women out there who have no problem with causal dating. Many of them are too busy with work and school for a committed relationship, anyway. They can enjoy a weekend of f~~~ing around with no strings attached and then go back to their own places. They have their own money and they don’t have time for pregnancy and raising kids. These women are ideal for MGTOWs.

I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

Until one day they decide they want to have a kid, and WHOOPS! Now you are on the hook for 18 years of child support even if you aren’t stupid enough to marry them.

There are only two problems with online dating: the online part, and the dating part.

For the online part, consider this: the only reason why any woman resorts to online dating is because she cannot cut it in real life. This can be for any of a number of reasons. Perhaps there is something she feels she needs to hide from men before getting a commitment to provide her with some benefit. or perhaps her personality is so odious that she has already burned through all the men she knows in real life and has to cast her nets further afield. Rest assured, though, that there is some reason why she is seeking through a detached, third party medium like the internet, and that reason is never good. And it is never worth your time to find out what it is.

Now as to the dating part, I’ve already said it before: don’t date. Dating has absolutely nothing to do with having fun with women. Dating is just a ritual intended to ease you into a more serious relationship with marriage, and divorce, as the endgame. If you have wisely chosen to decline marriage, and divorce, then you have zero reason to date. So don’t date. You can do everything you enjoy doing, in the company of women or not. If there is a movie you want to go see, there is no reason not to see it in the company of a woman. The same goes for sports events, activities, hobbies, whatever. You can f~~~ them if you so choose, all without ever needing to date them. You pay your own way, and let them pay theirs. And truth to tell, if you insist that they pay their own way they are far more likely to f~~~ you instead of just f~~~ing you over.

So if you can come up with a version of “online dating” that doesn’t involve being online or dating, I’ll look into it. Until then, I think the laydeez would be better off browsing http://www.petsmart.com/cat/cat-36-catid-200000 instead of craigslist, because any man with half a brain isn’t going to be there.

just going through some old threads I have missed and came across this post from Sidecar and it is absolute gold

and I put up a thread a week ago about starting to like a girl at work and just don’t want anything to happen and posts like this remind me why I don’t

I believe that child support is up to age 25 or 26 when the family health insurance plan ends and the child is no longer dependent. Something like that. It can’t be 18. It is likelier to be 21. This varies by state I believe. This coming from a guy who f’d girls and NEVER (not joking) wore a condom (I can’t get an erection with a condom on) AND came inside of them. Granted there were only about 5 girls total but I never got any of them pregnant. I was a dumb testosterone fueled guy and just lucked out big time. My life would be 100% hell today. Child support payments to cover said old hag’s Gucci/Louis Vuitton obsession while the judge snickers at me as she orders my kids to stay with the mother. Mother also conveniently lets me know that if I make any noise, she will claim battery and aggravated assault (cops have to arrest you no matter what if this charge is made here in New York City).
