Just saw it’s 7.3billion hashtags on TikTok alone. And yeah, like most viral things on the internet they leave as quickly as they came. Tate will probably be no different.

About the only people who would be impressed with anything he has to say is young (teenage) boys.

Accurate statement @jshaving
I am going to attempt to address OP’s original post.
Are you approachable? Most people when they get into the 30’s have a much small circle of close friends than those in their 20’s. To meet more people a person needs to seek to make friends.
If you are afraid to approach relative strangers (e.g., people working out in the gym you attend, grocery store in your neighborhood, church you attend, etc.) you will appear unapproachable by others.
Build more connections with those you start with casual small talk.
If you don’t believe that you are reasonably attractive, you will not be viewed as attractive. Make yourself look attractive as you can. Carry yourself like you believe you are attractive.
Beware though. Some of us guys are more trouble than we are worth.

It frustrates me that I’m not half way attractive.
Well, we should have started with this tbh.
Do you exercise in any manner?
Do you need to lose weight?
If you believe this statement, it is large portion of your problem.
There is a woman who attends the gym I use. probably in her mid to late 30’s, who is overweight. But she is fairly athletic and carries herself like she is proud of her appearance. IMO, she presents herself as attractive and she truly looks attractive, I do understand that many guys would write her off as too fat. But she doesn’t let that affect her self confidence. She talks to a number of people, most of which are men. She is always smiling. If I weren’t married I would sure like to take her on a date to see where it might lead.
If she carried herself like she thought she was unattractive, I am sure she could pull off a totally unattractive person that almost no one would be interested in getting to know.

Now you’re just sounding like a troll.
I am so ugly I have to tie a pork chop around neck just to get the dog to play with me but can make myself presentable at times.

I wish my girlfriend would tie meat around her neck. She likes me breathing in her ear and I always need protein - it could work for both of us.

I see alot of other women who are overweight who have boyfriends.
Yes, and these ladies are probably fighting within their weight class (pun not intended).
You said you shouldn’t lower your standards for men; this is true. You should also expect that if your standards are for top 10% men (most women have these standards), and you aren’t also in the top 10% of women, that you will be quite lonely.
Being overweight doesn’t exclude you from partnership, but it does limit your options.

What I have seen from women in my friend group is that once they lowered their standards (on looks), they found guys looking for relationships with them, instead of just guys looking for hookups, or guys pretending to want relationships to get the pooty. To be clear, the guys that they are with now (long term dating or married), aren’t basement dwellers, they roughly match the looks of the women they are with.
I think some of the stuff like Tinder has mislead women on what they should be looking for in a man. They can get really good looking matches, for casual sex. But the quality of the men a woman can get for sex is generally higher than what they can get for relationships (only really talking about looks here).
I think it is a reality that many men are willing to sleep with significantly less attractive women compared to themselves. I think it is also a reality that they almost always don’t want anything further than sex.
I am not saying that is what is going on here. Just something I’ve noticed in the dating market, while being out of it.

probably b/c
and she doesn’t want to explore that possibility or be confronted with that opinion by a bunch of internet strangers…
Avoidance strategy - she might be seeking validation it is NOT her rather than seeking an honest exploration of the possible reasons for her plight.

y’all sure have devoted a lot of energy into clear troll posts. I’m here for it though, keep it rolling. I’ll read this thread again tomorrow when it’s up to 200 posts that include 2059378237549823 words from other posters, and about 20 from the OP.

Maybe it’s a generational gap thing or just naive on my end, but what is the objective of a troll? How does the troll benefit?
