How am I supposed to be confident in myself when now women don't give me the time of day, especially on dating apps?

How am I supposed act with confidence which is one metric of being attractive when women don't actually show me that I am attractive. Family members and friends tell me that I am handsome, but what use is that if they'll never have sex with me.

How do other people do it?


No one owes you handout in terms of praise and approval
There are no participation trophies in real life


You suck it up. And convince yourself that you truly are worth something
If you’re a decent person, with a sense of humor, a moral compass, in good physical and mental shape, then you are worth a lot no matter what any one woman says or does to you


So you go on your dates with knowledge in mind and detach your self worth from the outcome of the date itself.
You’ll see just how much confidence you will radiate.


And side note: don’t listen to any sad loser on the internet or in real life that tells you dating is a bad idea and you shouldn’t be doing it.
They are projecting their own failures onto you and you don’t deserve that

Maybe it's not what you look like maybe it's in your wording if your profiles on your dating apps say the same thing this one does they would be doing a double take saying what what good is it if your friends or your families not going to have sex with you

I mean I do know what you're trying to say but I would reread whatever your profile bio says maybe there's something in that

lol...

if you were confident... if knew yourself and accepted yourself... if you knew your strengths and worked on weaknesses... you wouldn't need anyone to show you that you are attractive... you would just know... and they would sense it...

being confident comes from inside... from your acceptance of yourself and acknowledgement of your strong and weak points... from knowing what you are good at and working on your shortcomings...

dating apps nowadays are litteraly designed for the normal dude to fail and keep swipping forever so you line the companies's pockets with money. it's also like 90% dudes, and filled with bots and prostitutes, and a lot of the cute girl profiles are old and not used anymore. it's not necessarily a reflection of your real irl hotness. try to look in other places online or go to bars and stuff like that to meet girls

Yeah, what use are family and friends.

[Asker]

Was that sarcasm?

[Asker]

@Abbycado I meant what use is my family and friends telling me that. It's like people telling you you'd make a great an employee, but no one that's actually willing to give you a job.

Stop basing your entire self worth on women's approval.

[Asker]

It's not my entire self worth, I know I am worth something. I am a good friend, son, employee, etc. I am just worthless in the context of dating, romantic relationships, and sex.
