I Noticed it was dating apps that made me feel sad. They gave me the idea I was worthless. Cause i didn't get any matches or matched with bots. As soon as I heard the gyms were opening I deleted them and started focusing on myself.
Now Iknow the People on those app Just don't deserve me. So back to the question how did you make your life happier?
Tomorrow it is exactly one week after giving up on dating apps. And I feel happier what did you do to make yourself happier?
I can understand why you gave up dating apps. Since I'm not interested in a romantic relationship right now and currently identify as aromantic I mainly use dating apps to find friends which I'll be honest has been really challenging. To be honest what makes me happy every day is the simple fact that I woke up and I make sure to tell myself that inside my head each day since being alive is the most important thing to me because if I am not alive then I can no longer experience things on Earth and I want to hopefully have many different experiences.
Offcourse the fun part off working out and training this much as a skinny guy is you Just can keep eating untill you are full or run out of food/money. Offcourse still have to watch what cause you wanna grow
No I am not New i Just lacked discipline and did eat the wrong stuff. I Was going consistent when the gyms closed and was eating right. Since they opened again I am keeping myself to my schedule. But offcourse when everything closed up I fucked up. But now I am back allready gained 1kg they opened up last Wednesday. So I went twice now but my real schedule starts tomorrow. Going to the gym keeps me sane and gives me a reason to try New recipes
Yep and you never can work out in the order you planned there is always that one guy that is always in your way. Last thing I bought was a pull up bar Just need to buy the right kind of screws to hang it
I Have kinda average maybe below average looks so a side from the 3 bots I got 2 probably fake matches that ghosted me too been on and off tinder, happn and badoo for 4 years now. Made me feel unwanted and allready being diagnosed with an anxiety issue that offcourse did not help.
Maybe you need to change your profile and your approach. Online dating is not the same as dating someone IRL and what works IRL doesn't always work online.
That is an excuse. Go to the mall and take a seat in a busy corridor. Look at all the couples who stroll by, holding hands. Some of them are not very pretty, but they found a partner.
They didn't find them online I know my dating experience and believe me in the current state the Netherlands is in that it is impossible to succeed now.
They Just agreed to a testing law they are not wanting to go back to normal ever and as I have brains so I don't let them inject there experiment in me and I can't handle anything in my face with out being literally sick for a Day or 2 All I am still allowed for the rest of my life is to work.
So no it is not an excuse dating apps are bad and not going back to normal means I die alone
I used datingapps very briefly. I noticed pretty early that lack of matches and the bots just got me bumed up and sad. Datingapps is shit if you don't get any game from it. Stopped using it, came back, then stopped again. Datinglife remains dry but datingapps don't make it one bit better.
I know it sounds cold to call it a game and maybe there's a better metaphore for it, just I haven't rightly found the words to describe it differently yet.
Just to be clear, "a game" to me is just a planefield and doesn't say what the rules are or that there are rules but elusive and vague guidelines to navigate from attraction to action.
But I know if there are a ways to achieve an onset purpose that works more than once then it might as well be called a strategy. And so the world and the planefield becomes one tangible existance. Blabla. I dont think there's a winner or a loser though, just times when ends meet then fade to the background. Im not being pessimistic, just less sober.
I wouldn't say the apps hurt much though, but they sure didn't raise my hopes nor validate me either. I prefer puting my phone down and go find friends and career, create some memories from what I have. Maybe I stroll into someone along the way in the long run or maybe I build nyself up enough to take matters into my own hands and have some agancy for once. I guess only time, experience and perspective will tell if we're calling it a game or natures way. Maybe only a birds view will shine light on the issue.
Well I am going from 0 to 100 after this first week if there is still a free lane swimming starts this weekend and from this Thursday I am trading in my fullbody for a lower/upper body split this will cause me to work out 7 days a week so I must eat a lot too
I agree. Dating apps are too focused on the looks and your ego instead of the dating and relationship stuff. I stopped using it too since a month and it works. Most people on those apps only want to hookup for sex or want to get attention from guys to boost their own ego.
It took you some time to understand that you were indeed wasting it, but better late than never, amirite? You'll see that meeting people in real life is indeed harder but all the more worth it.
Well real life can't be harder than on dating apps for me. Cause in real life People have to react face to face and they can't swipe for someone prettier before reacting
Believe you me, you got lucky. Enter that rabbit hole and you'll end up single forever, salvo maybe a fuck or two with somebody you didn't even know and would leave you with nothing to your name.
It's the 10th time I deleted all thos apps. I Have had one date in Total in years respected her boundaries but still got ghosted instead of rejected.
But yeah I Just need to meet People IRL but first me time. My gym schedule is 4 days combined with 2 days of running and a Day of swimming I will be too tired for any kind of date in the
