Polls: Dating

So growing up insanely sheltered with helicopter parents, I never really had much of a chance to do it young. Unfortunately I also have really bad social anxiety so just the thought of doing it freaks me out and makes me keep putting it off. I've been working to over come my anxiety disorder but I know a lot of women aren't fond of virgins. Is it enough to make you flat out deny a man you would have otherwise been interested in?

Being of different race to people in my country I still feel very different to them even though we have the same nationality. I feel they don’t appreciate people from my race.

Race is still a big issue.

Your partner has an ex, which intimidates you more about him?
Yh I have pretty much all them traits

My own standards are to date someone who is on par with me more or less. I’m not perfect. Not a saint. I’ve been told I’m attractive but I know I’m no young Brad Pitt. However I am independent, got a good job, in good health, have a very interesting past and some fun hobbies.

There was only one time in my life I found a woman who was truly on par with me. It tragically didn’t work out because she met me at a bad time in my life. There was also one time I swung for the fences in college and went after a girl who was “out of my league.” She actually approached me first but I had zero game back then and screwed it all up.

But anyway virtually all the women I’ve met who were really into me in last few years weren’t exactly on par. However most of them were confident I would like them. I tried dating a girl who I saw potential in but she had very serious emotional issues (family abuse) that I wasn’t equipped to handle.

Anyway confidence is great. But why is it that women seem to daydream unrealistically about they are entitled to in dating vs. men?

A man had three girlfriends and couldn't decide which one to marry. So he gave each one of them $5,000 and asked them to use the money in a way they thought best. A month later he spoke with them each individually about what they'd done with the money.

The first replied that she'd invested the money so that it would grow and secure their future.

The second bought him a gift--something he'd always wanted.

The third spent all the money on making herself look even more beautiful for him.

So... which one did he marry?
What's your opinion on a similar situation?

I now get like 10 matches a day and loads of likes. All I had to do was swipe a lot and not be picky and I went from like no matches to loads.

Found some sweet ones on there.

My ex and I broke up.

We knew we’d never date again, but we tried to patch things up as friends.
I took her clothes shopping, then I took her out to eat lunch l.

When we got to her house she made dinner, we ate, & cuddled before I headed out for work.
I asked for sex before I went in,

She said no & said I was wrong to think she owed me sex after taking her out.

Was I wrong

Suppose you found a date like this

But when you show up and find your date you find this

What do you do?

A found a friend of mine the perfect guy. He’s nice and they look perfect for each other! She went on a date and said he was like a friend and there wasn’t chemistry. She’s old, what’s she being so fussy for.

FYI, our parents met for the first time at the wedding (arranged marriage). Look at this generation of girls.
