Has Dating Changed in the Last 5 to 10 Years?

I have a tinder and POF, tried OkCupid but got sick of going on dates with feminazis. I feel online dating has changed the dating scene. I also notice wonen have become more willing to ask a guy out.

For example, I am a pretty good dancer. Not the best but I can hold my own in a dance-off on the ghetto. Anyway, when I was 18-20 it was more common for me to ask a girl to dance or at least women were more receptive to being approached. Nowadays it is backward - I feel women have gotten less aproachable/more rude or dont like more assertive guys. If I just stand around though and do a few dances I now end up having women approach me. HOWEVER, once they approach me and start dancing, if make a pass at them they end up walking away…ONLY to come back later and flirt or dance more. WHAT THE FUCK, why does this have to be such a god damn process! I do not remember it being this complicated years ago.

Men ask women to dance as a sign of interest. Women ask men to dance because they want someone to dance with. They figure that if you know how to dance you must know this.

I salsa and I get asked to dance a lot, all by women who have zero interest in me as anything other than a dance partner.

It’s really quite objectifying.

they need to know you’re not just a piece of meat. A plaything for their amusement.

You’re a person, Pangy. Don’t ever let them make you forget.

I think my dating issues are because…

Her: How long have you been divorced?
Me: Four years now.
Her: Do you have any children?
Me: Yes…
Her: How many?
Me: Nine.
Her: …

And that kills of any returns off text messages or calls.

With that, I’m going to go do deadlifts and kick Monday in the balls. :smiley:

Oh come on now. You are a good looking guy and…You’re a hockey player, how hard could it be?

Consider the following…

Easily becomes None

If she finds out, you say you told her nine. Then she looks back and you both laugh at the hysterical typo/autocorrect. Ofcourse by this time she cant leave because you have her tied up in your… errr I mean captivated her with your charm.

Nah just go with my standard college keg party pick up line:

ā€œYou are looking pretty good tonight. Why dont we skip the small talk and get right down to phucking. You interested?ā€

White chicks are complicated.
Over dramatize everything and I mean everyfuckingthing :slight_smile:

x2 I’d shut up about the kids. At best say ā€˜a bunch’ and change the subject.

NINE dammit i’m getting a headache just thinking about it

I’ve tried.

They’l just pry and pry if they think you’re hiding something.

How old are they, again? I don’t think that would have been a deal breaker for me, but then I was having to float the word ā€œfourā€ and am very romantic about big families, so maybe I’m an exception.

My four didn’t seem to put anyone off at all, and they were still teens when I started dating. When Kevin and I were a few months into our relationship he agreed to help move my son’s stuff out of his dorm and into storage nearby while we were in the area visiting his family. Turned out the storage place was closed, so Kevin had to drive around with my son’s shit in his car until he could get home and load it into his shed. The day of the mishap, we had to cram his elderly mother and her walker into the overloaded car. Good times. Then in the fall of course he had to load it back up, drive it back down, and help carry the shit up to the third floor apartment. More good times. Last weekend we had an emergency because my daughter drove her car into something right in front of her (ā€œI thought it was a four-way stop, but I guess it was a Tā€) with enough force to crumple and total her Taurus. Classes started Monday, so she needed the car.

I would have been more embarrassed if two weeks ago HIS daughter hadn’t driven HER Taurus into something right in front of her with enough force to crumple and total it. He took care of that emergency on Tuesday because her classes started on Thursday and she only had the insurance co’s rental until Friday.

So I dunno, I guess my suggestion is that you find someone who also has a large family and additionally a sense of humor.

Usually between 40-50, Emily.

I had one coffee date pester me repeatedly when I said I had some kids. When I finally said nine, her first comment was ā€œI don’t want to raise nine childrenā€. My response was that I didn’t want her to raise my kids, I just wanted someone to see movies and concerts with.

She then got the bailout phone call and had to leave. Ha!

I’m ok with not being in a relationship. I’m busy with work, time with my kids, lifting and hockey.

No, I mean how old are the kids? lol

I don’t understand ā€œthe bailout phone call.ā€ To me, you’re having coffee with someone presumably nice and interesting. It’s not Walmart - it’s an opportunity to spend an hour or two with someone you might like a little (not a serious dating prospect) or someone you like a lot (maybe something big will come of it). What is the emergency? Show some class, people of the dating world!

Ah, lol.

26 to 8 years old. Five under 19 for now.

See for me, the number of children wouldn’t be a factor. The number of marriages that produced the children might. I have three friends that are at 6+. I think the world of them, but I have to wonder. The common denominator is them.

One.

One marriage of 25 years.
