I'm Everywhere you ain't never there
Competition, that's exactly what I'm seeing with relationships. Which person offers the best deal etc etc. Lots of delusional individuals out there. [/B]
I'll say this I was in a long term relationship but been out of it for 4 years now. Getting back into the dating world was like entering the jungle with no gear, no survival skills what so ever. It's been a long journey, these past few years. I've gotten advice from female friends and relatives basically saying to be selfish but I can't be this way. I refuse to be. I'm 32 yrs old and dating today just seems so different with Facebook Instagram dating sites etc. It's an adjustment because some people are looking for unicorns, men and women, instead of being realistic. I do not believe in soulmates, practicality is what I base my relationship on. Is he mentally/emotionally stable, goal oriented, career/financially smart, values family and loyal/honesty. For example I dated a guy last year and he was ambitious, smart etcetera, my one friends gripe was that I could get a guy who looked better in the face...wth. She literally said I could get better bases on appearance. People are too focused on superficial attributes. Beauty is subjective. Character is what's important to me. Dating today, most seems to be out for self, in a not so good way.
EXACTLY, assuming you are a woman, this is how I felt about dating in the US, women seem to not have a realistic criteria when it comes to dating.. Like looks and status/money is only part of it, maybe 20-30% the rest is personality, and good character traits.. It's all good to want someone that is attractive but these chicks be like, oh well he is cute but he needs to work on his body or get a better job. but yet WE are the ones getting the superficial label..
Dating today is trash, social media is so fake and if you don't partake in it people find you weird or like your hiding something.
You talk to someone and there talking to ten other people
An issue pops up on the relationship depart and next. It's like being so rich that you buy a car and the first time it doesn't start or need a oil change or a little maintenance you just buy a new car and Toss that one to the curb, instead of doing work to strengthen the relationship
some will do that just based on disagreements.. I tend to think these people were never really into you in the first place, you were just better than nothing. My thing is if you feel that way than just say hey I am not looking for anything serious, lets just fukk... nope women cant be that simple
all i can say is time man, one thing I've learned over the years it doesn't matter your success getting women when all you want is one.
It's like applying to a bunch of schools and you get accepted but the one you really wanted to go to didn't accept you, yeah you have tons of options but you'll still feel disappointed.
Just got to stay focus on yourself try not to take a peak in her life and keep pushing.
You really should be writing a book with the stuff being said here... but yea at the end of the day you only need to find one chick that really fukk with you, especially if that's all you want.. This misconception that men have to be big game hunters and have grocery lists worth of conquests is not for most people.. Those people are seemingly never happy with any of these chicks and after a while they realize all the good ones they let go..
I still don't think you should be trying to find the one fresh out of high school or college, for men we need to finish figuring out who we are before we worry about getting married or raising kids
