Do you think dating is hard?

[Anonymous]

I think it is and this is coming from a woman. Usually we’re known to have it easier but maybe I’m just not attractive enough for the guys

Yes

No

Nope, actually it's quite easy.
They like me or they don't.
I like her or I don't.
No masks, no fronts, be respectful and presentable but the die is cast.
Oh, and spend $25 and do a background check on them.

Be upfront about it.
"I find you attractive/interesting and I'd like to get to know you better but listen, no pressure. If you feel like there's no chemistry then that's okay. Let's at least enjoy our one date together and just have a good memory of today. Deal?"

And don't fuck on the first date!
Masturbate before the date so you're relaxed and focused, not distracted.

Why would dating be hard? Because of your mindset. I look at dates as very casual private opportunities to get to know each other. I don't try to impress or force her to like me or worry about whether there will be a second date, because that's something I can't really control. If we hit it off, great. If we don't, we don't. It's not the end of the world.

I've seen so many people get into terrible relationships because of being fake to try to win the other over. It's just a date, not a once in a lifetime job interview

Ok, I voted yes for a number of reasons. I think dating is hard in general for both genders because it is trial and error finding someone you mesh with. To find that special someone that you can be with longterm isn't easy at all.

Another side note to it, COVID and shutdowns haven't exactly helped the situation.

Yes, it's hard.
To even start it is already hard for most people who feel unattractive and not confident for many reasons (financial, family background, work status, etc).
It's even harder to stay in a relationship.

Dating is easier for a girl compared to a guy. A guy needs to have strategies and of course game to get girls. Girls don't need any of those. But yes if you appear needy no matter if you're a guy or girl and how awesome looking you are, the other person will be unattracted to you. So my advice will be, don't appear needy, don't worry about your looks. İf someone falls for you, he won't care about your looks.

Yes, I think so. Too many social protocols. I'm an INTJ, and I want to get straight to the point of getting to know her. I don't want to bother with wasting money on flowers and stuff like that.
I know that I am the black sheep in the crowd, hence I stand out.

It's too hard these days. I gave up. I know not all women are horrible it's just that's all I seem to run into. Plus the "average" girls won't even talk to guys because they're still pissed about high school. I think dating is way too superficial, shallow, and commercialized these days. There's no love just lust.

[MCheetah]

Yes. Dating is only easy for super attractive, successful men, and any women.
Everyone else (men) has it hard in the dating world. At least the former two groups just have insanely high standards. Not men, though. Not men or me.

It can be hard or easy it kind of just depends on the partner and the connection and chemistry among other things.

[NamerOfStars]

"Having it easier" doesn't necessarily mean "having it easy".

[exitseven]

From what I read about on this site I guess it is a real horror show these days.

[Likes2drive]

Definitely harder these days, I have been able to accomplish many things in life but that’s always been the hardest one

[Anonymous]

Yeah. And I'm not bitter or anything. But I've pretty much just come to a decision that most women just aren't worth the effort.

[InferiorElegy]

Dating for guys is definitely harder than it is for females.

[Dchrls78104]

Not only hard, but also dangerous.

[Fuentes]

Yup lol

[TrillXHippy]

Yeah for me it is
