Are you telling me that I need to aim for less attractive women?
Or that I need to bring more to the table?
Unfortunately I don’t have much to offer in that I don’t have a lot of money, I’m still in college…
So the only thing I can use to my advantage is being somewhat decent looking, I have an odd accent and… i know some stuff about stuff
But I’m not particularly charismatic.
I can play guitar, but this doesn’t really matter in that I’m not walking around with a guitar to play 24/7
Yes. Or when they install drains at all the highpoints.
No and no.
Send me an email… if you’ve got something that’ll help me I’d greatly appreciate it
I won’t reject it at this point in time as I do believe you may be correct.
I was helping my brother plumb in a renovation, along with his apprentice.
From across the building I hear a booming "Fuck! Dave! Which way does fall go Dave?
Fall is down Dave. Down. Fall goes Down…".
Derpocalypse.
Go on lots of dates. Meet a bunch of new people. Use it as a way to explore your new city, and get locals to show you around. Stop being so picky upfront. Be picky after you’ve met them. You don’t have to fuck if you don’t want to… And vice versa.
Stop taking it so serious. If the date sucks, you learned more about your new city and can go home to rub one out. Not a terrible outcome IMO.
Gotta meet a lot of women to meet the right ones. Gotta meet alot of right ones to meet THE right ONE.
You likely have enough to find a woman.
I might be able to email you or write more here later.
If I recall correctly you were not fond of the idea of arranged marriage when I’ve mentioned this construct. Considering what you say here, I’m surprised you’d be opposed to it.
I have enough to find women who are interested in fooling around, I know this for a fact.
But that’s not what I want, and I’m not sure if I have enough to offer in order to find a kind, down to earth young woman who is interested in a relationship.
I’m not a fan of the idea of forced arrangements. Forcibly arranged marriages, sometimes predetermined from birth typically entails a dynamic wherein neither party can divorce even if their marriage is in shambles and/or if one or either grows up and finds themselves repulsed by their partner.
Arranged marriage in the manner orthodox Jews do it? I’m not vehemently opposed, I think it’s probably better than traditional dating IF divorce is an option when either party is seriously unhappy.
Say there is domestic abuse, child neglect, withholding sex, adultery etc. I don’t think either party ought to be afraid to seek out a divorce. Within hassidic communities this isn’t the case, and the man (say he is beating his wife) may be defended no matter how toxic the dynamic of the relationship is.
That’s the main problem I have with arranged marriage, it inserts a power dynamic one individual within the marriage can take advantage of if the other partner is seriously unhappy.
However if an individual has the opportunity to choose arranged marriage in that a family member has the ability to set them up with a compatible partner, they go out for say… a year and find that they are indeed compatible and in love with one another… I’m all for that
I also don’t like the idea of arranged marriage if the concept revolves around “see this guy, when you’re 20 you’ll marry him. You won’t know a thing about him, but you’ll marry him”.
These marriages aren’t necessarily happy, the rate of divorce is typically lower because they CAN’T get divorced. Forced marriage and forced assimilation doesn’t equate to a happy marriage.
Have you tried bragging about how much weight you can lift?
As someone around your age, I can confirm that woke dating is shit. But it is also easily avoided too, by explicitly avoiding woke women.
If a girl is offended by you assuming her gender, immediate pass. If she is offended you made the first move when it’s fully appropriate, then immediate pass. If she is a third wave feminist, then you’re probably not going to date her anyways because all men are bad 
. To be honest, you’ll be far happier without any of these women in your life anyways.
Some people like asking “what are your pronouns?” And that’s fine, leave the woketards to them. If you want a woman that is actually worth your time, raise your standards and have a quick “no button” response time
You don’t have an acoustic guitar?
Wtf man?
You play War Pigs by Black Sabbath on an acoustic and thats basically a guaranteed 3 way with a metal chick and a green haired granola babe.
The only thing that could possibly go wrong and bust that groove would be if you started talking about “social issues”.
I do have an acoustic guitar… a specialised small travel guitar that I can bring with me wherever I go
But I don’t carry it around in public
Wtf?
Tale as old as time my man. Nothing new or “woke” about this, it’s so common it’s cliche
Why would you want a second date with someone you’re clearly incompatible with?
Seriously though, you don’t seem to be looking for solutions here, just a way to vent your views on “wokism”
It’s not just the women… it’s the people I talk to about dating (in person) it appears many from the 18-25 age range are somewhat disconnected with reality.
Though this is MY interpretation, one could easily clap back and say the same about me.
Should I carry around a guitar WITH me… in public… whenever I go to a gathering with late adolescents and young adults?
Seems like a good way to wind up with a stolen guitar, and I’d come across as being pretentious
I’ve never seen or heard of that happening, and I’ve known some real scumbags.
Not if you can play.
Maybe it’s a personality type thing, but I’ve known a few people that are like legit bards. If you sit in a corner perfecting riffs and glaring at people who bother you, sure, pretentious.
But if you can bust out like Pinball Wizard or Mama’s Got A Squeeze Box or some modern equivalent and start a sing along, You Da Man. 
Yes, and the ideology they push is hate itself, based on victimization. So, as has been pointed out to you, avoid positioning yourself relative to them, either with or against, and simply avoid them. Which is what several posters have repeatedly and wisely suggested you do.
Yes. Because the only poster you seem to be responding to with earnest interest is @BrickHead, who flames discontent rather than contentment when on this topic. Which always astonishes me, as things have worked out well for him ultimately. Why the continued focus on a dark part of his life, which he acknowledges was due in large part to internal issues?
“As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end, amen.” Which is to say that this is what you guys have to contend with, but we all have to contend with something, and have since the beginning of time. For me several years ago, it was men. Including the worry that, as I read so much about in here, they would think I wanted to marry them, dump them, and take half their shit. Or the old misery about women riding the cock carousel until they’re old and ugly and then looking for a beta cuck (Brickhead was active on the boards then, too). I worried about it for a bit, then did what you do or did, @Andrewgen_Receptors, and just passed on men I didn’t like or who seemed to have developed negative views toward women. Easy-peasy as it turned out.
I still get a chuckle at these topics when people think these are “men issues” or “women issues” and not “human issues”.
If relationships were easy, we’d all be happily married and a whole lot of comedians and divorce lawyers would be out of business.
