Breh the pics are everything. I used to get that too. Not gonna lie my shyt was ass when I first tried it a year ago after I dumped my ex. I had to go relearn all that shyt cuz the game changed so much in like 4 years. Some of yall put me on in this thread tho. Once I finished my cut it really just took off. Even though 17-18% bodyfat isn't fat dropping down to 14% and below is a real game changer for pics.
You're right tho for the average dude it's definitely gotta suck. Cuz I hate to use the term level but a lot of women aren't matching with their level. It's so many men in the app they can just swipe until they find a dude that wouldn't take them serious in real life who'll fukk em for little bit then drop em. When my pics were ass it used to be annoying cuz I'm like "how am I getting matches and they aren't responding?" "Why are these chicks flaking from dates?" but yet I'm out and about got women hitting on me? Makes no sense definitely different rules on there.
But isnt the stat like half of gen z men over 18 not fukkin? shyt got more to do with just dating apps.
We often "compete with ourselves" in that we know what the best version of ourself could possibly be and then we forget how uncompetitive the avg man is.
For the "competitive" man I think the issues is a few buckets
1.Yeah I can get sex, but family creation seems impossible, and am I pretty much set for a life of dealing with bird brain ass chicks in cycles.
2.An offshoot of 1 but more so yeah these chicks are birds, it's their nature, its the family law I`m worried about and how a chick can just blow my ish up thus leading to the cycle of never committing to avoid that.
3.The Jaded ness of "I have put up so many numbers and seen chicks do some evil shyt to a man they love with me, and I could never be on the other end of it".
4.Depending on your age, wanting to go with the flow and just be stable and see what happens but 1.the young chicks in their prime are remedial as fukk and the older chicks are burnt out desperate trying to force a wedding in 6 months because of a podcast.
