You most definitely are competing with the other guys who want that girl to like him. So you need to try. You need to try harder than you current are. That means you need to approach women. Even if you are AFRAID OF REJECTION
Having to wait for the negative STD test results...
Just kidding... I don't know...
😂😂😂
I think it's fine as long as you're open about it.
Don't people normally date multiple people at a time to get to know them, then decide afterwards if they just want to focus on them?
I think the most annoying thing is the whole texting thing. People assume you don't like them if you don't text them all the time which just isn't true.
What's discouraging is how little effort people put into relationships these days. Everyone thinks they are "entitled" to this and that.
Very true
The fact that you don't know the intentions of the person on those apps.. many are not serious.
Right!!
Then you spend time getting to know them.. one day they ghost you and dissappear or wanna meet and get you into the bed the first date... while you want something serious. Very discouraging.. and tiresome.
Yeah that is!
Probably the fear that you can do everything right and still get your heart broken.
That's literally what's kept me from trying.
Sad but true!
I want to be in a monogamous relationship, but having the same conversation with someone else, over and over is discouraging. And I'm used to meeting people out in the real world.
👍👍
Dishonesty. It's not a "new trend". No one wants to admit faults and flaws. Most want instant gratification (like a web page that never buffers) and to few are willing to "work" for something like a relationship.
👍👍
It depends for me. If I'm dating for fun and not looking for a serious relationship, I see nothing wrong with having someone to have sex with while dating. If I'm dating for something a little more, I'll stop. I want to save myself for the man I want a serious relationship with. I'm not saying hold out from having sex until he commits to me. Just want the attraction and sexual build up to be for him and not the other guy (If that make sense).
Most discouraging thing about dating is your date might be a fake like they don't really love you or they are just using you but after going through one of those dates just take it as a life lesson and don't let it happen again
Amen
The fact that most Girls want Confidence and that's just something I have a lot of trouble aqiuring especially in public.
Do you try ways to build your confidence?
Occasionally, But it doesn't last long.
It's just so hard because being Shy is a part of who I am.
Some girls like the shy guy
Still don't know how I can approach a Girl.
Nope that's a ticking time boom. People people e are just playing the field when they do that and it will crash on them
Right!
Good morning.
Good morning🙂
How are you doing this morning
Sleepy 😴 lol but still walking at the track with my neighbor at 8
Where do you live?
Midwest USA, and you?
Baton Rouge
Ah okay.. You like living there?
Heck yeah. It's a nice place I actually live in a small town just outside Baton Rouge called New Roads. Peace and quite lol
Sounds nice
You have an Email
Hey. Brainbeforebeauty?
Hey hey
Was walking with my neighbor. But I don't give out my personal info on this site to people I don't know
Sorry. Just was looking to chat more. I do apologize
U have whatsapp or snapchat
No I don't... GAG only social media
GAG?
Girls ask guys, the site you're on now lol
Oh. Lol. Well I guess u can ask me anything you want. Lol
I'll be upfront and honest
I have Skype but again no offence I don't know you and I don't give that out
It's ok. I understand. And I'm good with here also.
Lol so ask away.
That people have almost limitless options so no one wants to "settle" for someone.
They do? Or they just "think" they do?
They guys won't tell you that it was just for sex...
Yeah the biggest issue I have with casual sex is when people lie to get what they want and that they go after the ones that don't want casual sex instead of the ones that do... And that they too casual with protection which is no just no
Politics, it’s very difficult to find a woman that isn’t part of the Socjus group think.
Watching her pull out her cell phone every time it pings
Right! People do that too much
I don't date more than one girl at a time. I will flirt with women but if I started dating someone I would tone it down. I wouldn't necessarily expect her not to date others but I wouldn't want her to lie about it.
As long as you keep it real with the other person and tell them because some people fall in love and then get hurt
Exactly!! But how many really do be upfront with it?
None of the females I’ve been with 🤣🤷♂️
Sorry to hear that!
That’s life Nobody promised us a love garden ❤️
Depends on if you’ve agreed to be exclusive or not. If you want to date exclusively best to throw that out right away. :)
I personally don't think people should be dating other people period if they having sex with someone.. I mean I'm not going to start dating sometime that's still actively having sex with someone else. And I'm not going to have sex with sometime who's actively dating other people
*someone
Yes. That makes sense. You just need to tell them that right away so you make sure you are on the same page.
I would say you don't know the person truly they could seem the nicest person on earth and then just ghost you.
For me it is the risk of a false accusation if shit hits the fan. In the past people could see a crazy ex for what she is. Today, her word is treated like gold.
Just like there's guys that label their ex crazy even when she wasn't. Or jealous ex when they get dumped for being a cheater.
And if you think all women falsely accuse a guy when they break up then yeah don't date women then
I don't believe all (or even most) women are like this. However, the risk of running into that crappy minority is still a huge risk.
What's not a risk in life? Isn't just getting behind the wheel and driving a risk?
Guess you have a point.
Once in awhile🤪 lol
girls make you feel unmanly if you have a 4 inch dick
Sorry if you experience that
its natural. no need for sorry
Complete lack of opportunity. Just not meeting anyone now, period. Was bad enough pre-covid, but now...
The ratio of scammers to real women who will talk to me. And that online dating is currently the only viable option. I am so done with the new normal; I desperately need to go back to the old normal.
Same here, I wanna change one thing from the old normal tho.
Make women be the approachers cause we keep approaching to get shot down with you're a nice guy but
It's kinda pointless for me since I never get to the dating stage in the first place.
I'm always just a friend
both parties want to have sex in order to carry on with the relationship...
like can't people wait till after they're married?
Either too many requirements and/or not enough knowing about a person in person because the chemistry is quite different from text to person
that a lot of people out there judge a person by looks or there bank account
The lack of quality women to date
Quality people more like
Like you, for example
Me for example? Quality of not quality? 🤣
Is that a serious question? Quality, of course.
Thanks😊🤗
You’re welcome
People having cellphone and a computers. Background checks keeps your ass from lying about your age
Why would you?
Because people lie
Everything.
This is too general, too broad. It needs to be more focused.
COVID Paranoia it's crazy, there are VERY FEW cases anywhere, and Yet... everyone is afraid, Government wants to control everyone, this is the way they will do it.
The fact that a woman can make a false rape allegations without judgment on her. Women being able to take most of the man's money and leaving him depressed and broke/ verge of broke
That's not true so please don't speak false info. You do know there's been women that have been charged and convicted for filling false rape allegations... Maybe not as much as need to be, but please don't act like it never happens because that is a lie
The list of what's encouraging is much shorter.
Isn't that the truth
Not being able to socialize and hook up ad easily as before.
Dealing with petty drama... I dont have tike for that shit. I've got my own stuff to deal with i dont have time to deal with yours as well
I think the most discouraging thing about it is having to deal with women.
🙄 then maybe you should date men than🤷🏼♀️
*then
I am dating a pet rock now
Pet rock? 😂
Yes, a rock I keep as a pet. Allister hates it.
That they all can't be as pretty as you are dear.
Lol thanks
Totally unacceptable!
What? There other post? I agree.. but this post was what's the most discouraging thing about dating... But that people think it's okay to say and have sex with multiple people at once, that discourages me from wanting to date... If you see the threads on that other post, it just is so discouraging to see how many people think that's really okey
Well miss brains muffins, there is the good and the bad and we all know that these days a lot of people are on the dark side and always choose the evil path because it's easier...
People are losing their morals and values and their disciplines, rights after rights after rights until the civilization becomes like aninals again where freedom has no limits...
It all starts in the house, that's why the family is always the 1st priority because to build a better generation than you have to be raised and surrounded by a nice loving caring family and the faith in god should be taught everywhere, people must know that we aren't just a coeinsidence in this world, god is watching us and death is only the end of our physical body...
The worst thing in dating is that a lot of people do not take it seriously anymore and doesn't have a respect for it, cause these days it's all opened and even some marriage are opened, i really cannot understand what'a the use of a marriage if it's opened, since marriage is a committment, what'a left of it? 😒
I agree with you
why do i get the feeling this will never change but the status-quo that dictates its the guys role to be the initiator or make the first move, ask the girl out, why can't girls ask guys out too right?
Some do tho
yes but some is the keyword, some as in its too rare, i doubt it will ever become normalized
Wandering eyes, distraction, not putting time, not being serious, not into commitment, only wanting sex
Most discouraging thing? Gee well how immature people are
People not being honest
Yeah and send like more and more people can't be honest anymore
*seems
I'm not actively dating so I wouldn't know.
Me neither, don't have to be to see how people are destroying dating/relationships/people's hearts with their hook up culture
The unstable and unconcistent nature.
Guys not being monogamous and wanting threesomes!!
Right!!!
I mean honestly all of it
I hear yah! People on too much bullshit these days!
For me it's what is on offer; most women are ugly these days.
You are a good person.
Thanks
picking up women is tiresome and exhausting. Only 1 in 20 who give you numbers ring you back and sometimes they say they will meet you for coffee and don't turn up. This is dating for men, it sucks.
It is okay before marriage if you dating someone also, but after marriage it is not okay.
Covid and most is online
She turns around and accuses you of sexual assault. You are innocent but you still loose you house, car and job. Just trying to defend your self.
That's bull... Stop stressing falsehoods
Spreading
It's true. Where the woman who's making the false accusations get's a slap on the wrist.

You were saying?
The damn scamers
Yeah that can definitely be discouraging. Makes trust harder
Cheating
Right! 💯 It's becoming so common place people think it's okay like wtf🤷🏼♀️
Yeah, and it's also heartbreaking 😕😔
I know it can be. Too bad more cheaters don't think about that or seem to care
That women are so selfish
Just women? That's no selfish men huh?
I’ve never dated a selfish man
men are pervert and women want money
You.
Haha funny cuz I'd say it's "you"and men like you... Thank God my husband was nothing like that... They just don't make men like they used to😂😂
You always have the option of havin a dog, woman.
But didn't I already day I wouldn't date you🤔 so no dog 😂😂
Nice comeback hehe
Fine then. perish alone. nothing of value was lost
hehe
Do you really think your petty insults bother me? Type just making yourself look bad that you have to resort to trying to insult someone when you can't make a valid point. But by all means, carry on😊
I made my valid points, woman.
And im enjoying myself... lol
Nah you think you did😂😂 but hey as long as you think so more power to yah👍😊
Where they got this guy from Brooklyn
@yofuknutz Him? Or are you implying I'm a guy? Cuz I definitely am not... Not is my profile pic fake or edited other than wearing make up in that pic although a past profile pic I had none on...
