The main thing that is holding me back from dating is that I'm married. Granted, we do have our designated date nights... But, I don't think that is what you are referring to.
One broken heart too many, one bitchy rejection too many, a lot of bitterness and resentment, compounded by laws that make it a felony to approach a woman and divorce law that is grotesquely unjust to men.
I am just focused on my career. Yes I can love, but I want to be able to live in my own and not rely on someone.
I don't think it's what you mentioned. Some women as well as men are materialistic yes. In my case though it is because I simply have too much I have to get straightened out in my life before I try to date.
You're experiencing the following thought distortions: Black and white thinking.
According to this thought distortion either all women are good or all women are evil. Apply the same criteria to men and you'll see how absurd that is.
It looks a bit odd if I take me out on a date. Besides, i already know that I'm gonna wanna get into my pants!
The minority of women are dating for materialistic. Grow the fuck up.
I'm focused on me and haven't met someone who brings me the peace I currently have now.
I found it's best not to date anyone and look at others and society like crap (because that's what it is). I'm a Christian, I believe in being friends with someone for 3-4 years and then looking at dating, but with learning more and more about the shit "friend-zone" I've decided to give up. Not only that, would I want to be in a relationship, get married and introduce my children to the shit society that will only get worse... I'd much rather live in the sewers.
Shameful
@Nu6rxb6d Whats shameful about it? If you were a devout christian and persecuted for your values and what you believe in, would you want the bring up children in the same environment if not worse. Would you want to make their life hell?
I'm in serious relationship with my SO. Dating is in my past only.
I'm unfortunate with women. I'm not blessed with top tier social skills. And I can't deal with modern women.
My lovely social anxiety. I date with my social anxiety 🤦🏻♀️❤️
Mostly it is my wife that is holding me back. She would take a dim view of me dating somebody else.
I feelsorry for all the idiots wives who gave answers like this
I'm caught up with school and work. I'll also be moving for school soon too so I'm not about to jump into a relationship right now.
There is a small percentage of women that can still love but they are younger and haven't been around the block with lots of sexual partners. Most women need a big cock, money and other things to be to be happy and are never satisified.

@whynothoe lmao these guys are probably closeted homos
@Nu6rxb6d I know nice girls that are cute but the nasty ones are the ones no one wants.
@whynothoe That's a joke, I know nice, cute girls. The nasty women that are opiniated can't get dates.
Haven't met anyone interesting in years. Work is from home, and before that all male. The only women I meet are fast-food servers half my age.
My ex caused me to have a lot of trust issues. Everything that her, her kids x and her mother did to me and my son really caused me to have major trust issues.
Women don't ask me out very much.
If she doesn't want to ask me out obviously she's not that interested now is she
Why would I want to date someone with minimal interest in me?
I don't date because I want to prioritize bonding with my bros over dating a woman.
Getting that gay action in
I dont date because most girls in my area / school act like whores. They only care about their looks and how to use others as toys
