What is /htgwg/?
How to Get Women General is by men, for men, about women, so bring all of your questions about getting and dealing with women here. Some anons on this site actually get laid, and some of them even want to help. If you're trying to meet and date women, then this is the place to ask questions, seek advice, and share experiences. We know how hard it can be. We got you bro.

>What is /htgwg/ not?
These threads are NOT for whining, moping, incels, volcels, MGTOW, hopelessness, or demoralization. We're all aware that meeting and dating women is hard today, and even harder for some, but /htgwg/ is for trying to overcome the challenges. IGNORE the posters who complain, give up, or insist there's nothing they can do. This site has other boards and threads that they can pollute. BE SMART: Spot the bait, don't reply, and DON'T WASTE TIME ARGUING WITH THEM!

>How to ask for advice
Context is important: be more specific than "This girl ghosted me, why?" We can't help if we don't know the situation, so try to provide as much (useful) info as possible ("I was at the bar, this chick was checking me out..."). What's your relationship with the girl? How long have you known her? Any conversation screenshots? Etc... Don't forget to ask an actual question.

Anybody here have experience with speed dating? I signed up for one this weekend. I am 25 and the age range is 24-39. I dont really know what to expect or what type of women show up to these kinds of things. My type is younger cute girls but I am past the point of being so picky lol, I will keep an open mind. I am okay at talking to people but idk what subjects I should talk about considering how short it is, ill probably just default to talking about books or guitar lol. My expectations are at rock bottom I am just doing this to work on being less autistic.

Well I left a dead bedroom relationship and now I've found myself a crazy semen demon who is really into me. We have sex every time we see each other and she's into all kinds of things that I've wanted for a long time.

However, she has been around the block quite a bit and isn't shy to talk about it. Typical story of hooking up with toxic bad boys one after another and doing all sorts of crazy shit with them. At least she still wants to have crazy sex with me too right? Not like the last one that preferred me as an emotional/financial support drone instead of a sex partner.

Should I hold on to this lady even though she has more red flags than a chinese communist party meeting? Or should I run away and try to find a squeaky clean inexperienced woman?
>>
>>34816916

Is tinder completely worthless even as far as dating apps go?
With hinge I get maybe 3 matches a week, went on somewhere around 10 furst dates, one of which turned into a brief relationship (my first in case it's relevant)
I haven't gotten a single legitimate match on tinder despite using the same profile and sending literally 10x as many likes on there as hinge

tinder has a worse male to female ratio
so your profile is invisible unless you are in the top profiles
wheras, hinge basically is setup so more men get shown to the women with a better m:f ratio
simple mathematics and the difference in mechanics means that tinder is a high volume low reward app
unless you signal: high status / high sex appeal in your first picture

Reminder that if you haven't looksmaxxed, you're not doing /htgwg/ properly, and you have no basis to complain about your results.
1. Decrease your body fat to 15% or less, then do a lean bulk (~300 calorie surplus). Lowering body fat should be done before the bulk as this leans out your face.
2. Get well-fitting clothes that suit you.
3. Go to a hairstylist with good reviews and find a style that suits you. Once you find a good stylist, stick with them so you get reliable results.
4. Consider whitening your teeth. Strips and toothpaste will do a decent job, but your dentist will do even better.
5. Get your teeth straightened at an orthodontist, preferably with invisalign, not braces.
6. Visit a dermatologist to get your facial skin as good as you can.
7. Experiment with facial hair and see what looks best on you.

How do you ask a girl I like on a date? I’ve had her number for a month or so now after asking, and we have texted before, one of our conversations was like an hour long, and she responds fast, she told me she has an upcoming photographer job and none of her friends wanna practice with her

I have a massive crush on her at work, she’s leaving tomorrow but today is technically her last actual work day, we work different shifts today so I’ll see her at the clock in machine for like 10 seconds, maybe 2 minutes if I’m lucky and we get one last talk in. I don’t think I should ask for the date today, but tomorrow when she finishes her last day I’ll text her this when I clock out at 3pm tomorrow:
“Hey [Girl I like]! Congrats on officially wrapping up at [Job] today! I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you and laughing through those crazy shifts together. I’d love to take you out on a date sometime soon—maybe grab some food and help you get some photography practice in. Let me know if you’re up for it!”

Is this a good one? I’ve saved it for about a week, I want to take her on a date where we can practice her photography and then we’ll eat something afterwards

So, I'm the 31 one year old with little experience who got the instagram of the Half-Japanese gym girl.

This guy: >>34800035


I'm not a virgin anymore, though it wasn't with her.

As part of the goal of 1 date a week, I approached her on instagram and gave her a opener, she replied with laughter and said "whats up", and I said I wanted to check out a fancy pizza place since she told me she loves pizza. I didn't mention that last part on the message.

This was on sunday. Till now, there's been no reply. She doesn't seem to use instagram often, but she posted a repost on her repost tab either yesterday or today morning.

I don't really know how to approach this. I would like to at least be friends with her and get to know her. I don't know if I did anything wrong.

The reason why bad boys go so well with women when they act immature is that the love was there to begin with. When you have love that is so invested you are more willing to let things go more so than most people. So that guy who is a criminal she loved she knew him for years and it is like you punching walls in the house when your parents told you to get a life and stop playing video games but they still love you. The love has to be there anon. Not condoning wrongful actions but when you love someone you are more forgiving of them. And you say "BUT I'M A NICE GUY!" does not matter anon. The love has to be there. Otherwise why would your parents not charge you 500 dollars a month and demand your room be in damn perfect condition? See the forgiveness?

>>34819288
I think it's good up to the part where you actually call it a date.

https://youtu.be/xHkcIRZa6lo?is=HkxaE_qAr0kI3YKS

I posted this in the last thread but I feel like this is still relevant to you though probably a bit to harsh.

Either way, dating is pretty much a game of chicken. The point is to send messages to her about your intentions while also protecting yourself. These interactions and moments are to sniff out red flags and judge how the other person reacts to each others actions. You always want plausible deniability, because even if she says no, if you react in a normal and appropriate way and continue to be friends with her that still sends the message of "I have my feelings under control and I still value you as a person."

I would actually just keep it more vauge and casual but you can still put your intentions out there. I would suggest saying

"Hey (girl) Congrats on your last day on the job. I was thinking after work we could go out and celebrate somewhere before you start your new job"

Then if she says yes expand on it where you ask if she has a favorite spot and make small, low commitment plans for her photography and other activities.

I don't know how close you to are so to me I find telling hee outright for a date, specially a first one is too blunt.

Righto fellas, I decided I'm gonna step up and make an attempt for this girl, but first context:
>Meet attractive girl, she always struck up conversation with me, etc. but always platonic. I'm a Robot who can't flirt for shit so I didn't even try to steer it any other way.
>Tells me about her frustrations with this other bloke who is a bit of a sexpest but which she was talking to anyways. At this stage I assume I've now taken on the role of "The Gay Consiglieri Friend" (I'm straight and she knows this, but you know sometimes you're just an Honourary Homo)
>She later moved somewhere else but later invited me to spend NYE with her in Sydney one time (we're in Australia)
>said she could get us a room there thanks to job connections etc...
>Didn't go because I opted to spend NYE with a larger group of friends in a small beach town instead
Did I fuck up? I had (kinda still do) low self-confidence so I never even tried flirting at the time and I'm deathly afraid of the "she's def into me brah" meme, but damn I do find her beautiful and I really don't know how else to read an invitation for a 2-person getaway trip in a hotel room together.
Anyway, I now got the chance to move back to the area she's in but first I wanna build up a nice landing strip via texting, get things moving already before I'm even there, but I cannot for the life of me figure out flirting via fucking text messages, it feels so stunted, I've always been a good talker IRL just hate technology for this.

I've never had success with dating apps, I have a bc of over 10. only 2 of those were from dating apps but I greatly regretted those because they were my ugliest fucks.
I never take pictures of myself, and when I do have pictures of myself, they tend to be blurry/out of focus. I have group pics and they tend to have women/men in them. The other day I was complimented/called out a few times and a girl 10+ years (im in my 30's) my junior "shot her shot" with me for a date, but this just doesn't translate on dating apps. I've traveled to many places, done a lot of cool shit, if I were to just bite the bullet and get a photographer to take pictures of me it wouldn't capture anything but my face. They won't see me in the exotic places I've been to.
I also think writing a bunch of shit in my profile is stupid and gay and I expect women to just look at my pictures and swipe on that impression as I do. So really, can I actually pull on dating apps?
>>
>>34819322
To add onto this, if I do everything right, and I still get ignored, what the fuck am I even supposed to do? It's these fucking apps and social media.

Apps, social media, it fails because it puts way too much initiative on the woman, when they're not capable of it. They're too passive to reply. You can't lead them, you can't take the initiative for them.

I flirted with this girl, told her jokes, she rubbed my hand. Yet, on instagram she might not even read my message. Why? Because social media is a distraction machine?

I probably should have gotten her number instead.
>>
Who is the cuck in this scenario

I am friends with my girlfriend's ex boyfriend after she introduced us to each other. They remained friends after she broke up years ago.
>>
>>34819701
Apps and the internet fail because of the lack of communication. This is why it's important (and why you should ditch apps) to physically talk to people because they will tell you why in other ways than with a blunt or misinterpreted response like ghosting.

You have to remember that she also has a life as well so her ignoring you because she is just busy taking a shit is just as plausible of a reason as it is her having no interest and moving on.

So much of communication is through subtle physical expressions. This is specially true in dating and flirting where it's a long game of subtlety and regulation to sniff out a person's true intentions.

Honestly what you should probably do in this scenario is try to talk to her, preferably in person and just ask her some casusl questions about the situation. But if you aren't already doing it, also talk to other women as well because stagnating and dedicating yourself to someone who doesn't feel the same to you is just going to make you desperate and go insane.
>>
>>34819758
No one. Being a cuck is a mind set. If she's committed to you and her ex understands this and doesn't threaten your relationship then there is nothing to worrt about. There is no one being cucked.
>>
>>34819758

I'd talk to her in person if it wasn't for the fact that she was only in my gym because her gym was renovating, and that finished this monday. I'd have to go to her gym or over to where she told me she works. I don't wanna act like a fucking stalker.

It'd hard for me to talk to other women for a date this week, because at my gym its mostly old women, there's a reason I noticed her. I'm gonna have to go out hunting, now.

I don't get it. Women wouldn't say no to a man, for fear of pissing him off. So they ignore him instead, which GUARANTEES he will be fucking pissed off. I'd rather she say no or that she's a lesbian, though the ideal would be bisexual.

Thankfully, I think she doesn't use Instagram too much. I think she only used it last Sunday.

>>34819803
>>Women wouldn't say no to a man, for fear of pissing him off. So they ignore him instead, which GUARANTEES he will be fucking pissed off.
>Say no
Low chance of pissing him off but have to hear him potentially say mean things at her if he gets mad
>Ghost and block
High chance of pissing him off but zero chance of getting her feelings hurt
Easy to see why it's so common when you look at it this way
>>
>>34819849
It's kinda fucked, isn't it? It's like it doesn't matter if it doesn't affect her, very self-centered.

She hasn't blocked me at all, we still follow each other on instagram, and her profile is private which means she deliberately opened her profile to me.

Again, I hope its just not her using Instagram.

What I'm learning, is that I'm not supposed to land the ball on a woman's court at all. Because if you have to wait on them, you'll be sitting there waiting forever, because they don't do anything.

hey what's up guys?


Please give me your advice on the following situation. I met a girl in late June and went on a good few dates with her -- sometimes going out, other times staying in. We moved really fast and were in a committed relationship before the first week ended. I was picking up extreme interest from her, and so I spent good time vetting her against serious political and relationship goals / views of mine. She was on board for this at the time.

At our two week anniversary, I will keep the details light, but we had an awesome date from about 5pm to 1am. She slept over, and I was supposed to drop her off at her parents house in in the morning in time for a different commitment.

Unfortunately, had a family confrontation, the police were called, and she caught a charge. They then recommended that she do voluntary inpatient therapy. With strong pressure from her parents, she decided to go in. During intake, they heavily pressured her against writing down my number (saying she couldn't do so), and so I basically didn't hear from her for 10 days during this stay.

Upon coming out, a full 10 days after going in, she sent me long texts saying that she had a lot of time to reflect, and that she decided this life I've envisioned isn't for her. We spoke that weekend for about an hour 45 minutes, and I asked her if she'd be interested in continuing on a day-to-day basis, removing the expectations and timeline to engagement that she had previously been interested in. She gave a pretty emphatic yes to that.

1/2
>>
>>34820694
We had a couple of pleasant dates following her release from inpatient therapy. I then received another intended breakup text from her on the Friday, I believe a week after she had been out of the facility. She was on stimulants, but was with a friend who was sober, so we agreed to discuss later. Late that night we spoke again for over an hour, in good spirits, and I was basically fact finding. I brought her back to my apartment on the Sunday, and basically said, hey, you're still interested in me, you have feelings for me, you wouldn't like if I found someone new -- I feel the same way. That means we should stay together. Once again, she agreed. She actually let me know during this conversation that she's diagnosd bipolar. We met during a manic episode. Now it's a depressive episode and she's having trouble committing or following up with anything. I factored this in pretty heavily and told her her health bar isn't at 100%, it's not a great time for a rash decision.

Fast forward to later in the ensuing week, and on a phone call when we were going to make plans for that day, she basically told me that she really wasn't feeling the relationship and that she wanted out. That was a week ago tomorrow. I basically said, ok, I'll take you at your word this time.

So here's where we are now:

She has some things of mine to return, and I asked her if I could continue my discussion of my religion with her, which she agreed to. She's been quite busy lately (she's rather popular and has a large family), and so I'm taking my time to schedule this. I want to reach out to her on Friday to see if we can find a time in the next 7 days from then. She hasn't texted me at all since the final breakup, except to respond about logistics, and the positive response to my request for an additional conversation about something else (religion).

Other than the planned discussion, I basically want to show her a really good time and just be a fun guy, maybe get more personal if things go that direction. Do you have any advice for me in this situation? Is trying to reinspire her interest a lost cause? What do you think?


TLDR: Recent girlfriend is bipolar, we met on a manic episode and she's swapped to a depressive episode. Isn't putting forth much effort to basic things like hygeine and friendships (typical of depression), but is pretty sure, external to that, that she's not interested in me. Is much more effort or strategy mistaken? Do I have an angle?


3/3
>>
>>34820708
The only angle is do you see yourself marrying this chick. If no, gtfo of there dude. She's a violent mentally ill person. I basically go no contact with a chick after a break up or she cheats. Life's too short to spend anymore time on that.
>>
>>34820738
I honestly have that level of interest. It doesn't make sense from the outside, but she has some strong personality traits combined with mental illness, trauma, and behavioral problems.

I have a bit of a checkered past myself, and we bonded over this kind of stuff rather extensively.

I'm moreso wondering how to reinspire interest in her when she's clearly depressed. My first thought is, well if I were sad I would want a solid, stable, loving person to be in my life a lot. Our time spent together was always ultra-wholesome. So I'm not sure what to make of the whole thing or why I crashed out so hard on her interest level.
>>
>>34820764
Are you sure she's not trying to cut you off in an attempt to protect you from herself? Depression with bipolar sounds like that could be the case.
>>
>>34820778
Or if not protecting you, then "punishing" herself.
>>
>>34820778
Not particularly. Her text responses were generally a bit slow (however, I have never witnessed another girl, or possibly even another person less interested in their phone while spending time with them. She was willing to ignore it for hours at a time).

I also emphatically told her that I didn't mind the risk of spending 4-8 months together with that as a possible end result. I also very emphatically told her that I wanted to help her with bipolar disorder, in a structured way.

I hadn't especially considered this angle, but I still don't think so. She told me, in the 2nd and also the final (successful) breakup attempt "I'm just not feeling it" and "I don't want a relationship right now, which is one of the key ingredients to a successful relationship"

Pretty damning on the odds, no? I told her things (during the 2nd recommitment attempt) like, "relationships aren't based on feelings, they're based on commitment", and especially emphasized to her that she's not "feeling" doing basic things like staying clean and following up with friends. But realistically we know that direct logic is not particular effective on most women.

>>34820791
I'm not sure. I kindof doubt it? I wish that I had more insight into her motivation structure, but I didn't want to try to sell her on another extended conversation about the boons of our relationship and the reasons to stick together. I'm not a particularly good listener and I talk / write a lot, but I do try.

Thank you for reading my story and responses by the way, I genuinely appreciate it a ton.
>>
>>34820807
Just to be clear, I did listen to her really well during the night call of the 2nd breakup attempt. Her saying things like "there are still feelings" "you're really attractive" and "I wouldn't like it if you found someone new" really gave me the encouragement to continue to push to stick things out for a bit.

And I saw / see tremendous potential with this girl. She's rather unique with an extremely strong personality (not in the sense of, 'wow, she's captivating!', but rather, she has extremely strong values and is willing to fight for them).

How does one get over a lifetime of conditioning (some of it self inflicted, some external) that you don't have a chance with a woman, or really any women at all? I'm almost 40 now, so it's been going a long time.

>>34819461
Can't say I've ever been invited by a girl to spend new years eve together alone with just the two of us, and then also sleep in a hotel room together, just the two of us.

If the above is correct in full, then I'd say you missed out on sex! I've never had signs that obvious!

>>34820708
Only read the tldr, it sounds like you're the one being used in this situation. Stick around at your own risk.
Personally I wouldn't do it, because I've already done it before, 2 times (or 3 depending on how you look at it). And I suffered greatly for it. I realized that life is hard enough without the bpd.


>>34820883
I'm asking this myself, though I do feel like I got better at it. I take myself less seriously because I accept that I'm a fucking nigger, so I let myself dance, perform, "be myself" as they call it and "have fun", this makes me feel more human.
I have also lost a lot of weight, this is one of the main contributing factors that allowed me to do this
>>
>>34821233
I was 708

just to clarify you've dealt with bipolar girls 2-3 times, not borderline?

can you tell me a little bit about the experience of being with them?
>>
>>34821253
I looked up the definitions. I've had 1 true bipolar gf. And well 1 extra but she wasn't a gf, that's my mom. Then 2 more who were borderline because they didn't have mania they just started shit for no reason and said things they didn't mean.

The experience was polarizing. The good was REALLY good and the bad was REALLY bad. I'd get into a call and a perfect day would go fucking crazy and in 60 seconds I've done something wrong that I now have to repent for.
Lots of pulling away. Periods of silence, periods of good. It wasn't online only, we met 3 separate times for weeks at a time.

The line between borderline and bipolar blurs for me from the amount of experience I've had with it, but from what I understand real bipolar is characterized by periods of good and periods of bad, which my first gf 100% had. When it was bad it was really bad, when it was good it was like I had an angel on my hands. I don't know what else to add other than what I said - I'm a normal guy, but I'd get into a conversation on a nice regular morning and now I've done something wrong and the world is going to shit.
They aren't worth it. I had 1 normal gf and kept her for 5 years. It was good until she cheated.

It seems as if social media or dating apps for meeting women is way better than cold approaching. I want to meet women in real life and give it another go, but whenever I do get a convo going, they cut it short themselves. Which makes sense, I am a stranger and I have to respect that they're busy or not expecting a convo out there.

There are either women that don't want to talk, or couples. So, I should probably just try to meet one on IG or Hinge or Tinder or something. Is cold approaching really effective or is it just a way to say I'm unattractive without sounding mean?

If it is, what are some things I can say to get things going? I can say, "Hey, I know it's so random, but you're so cute, so I wanted to introduce myself." Is there anything else? Maybe something not as strong since women might not want a guy to just say that to them off the bat (not every woman, some dig directness, but you know what I mean, it might come off as too strong for some, or am I wrong?).

Well, I hope anyone here can help me figure it out, and thank you in advance for any advice. Hope you all are well.

>>34821544
We were constantly on voice call the entire 2 years, only stopped when she was in a depressive state and even then it was only for a bit.
It's been so long that I don't remember exactly but I do remember that it was weeks. I distinctly remember having 2 weeks of good. That was fucking incredible. And subsequently had some of those times back later.

Also keep in mind, and I don't know if I can attribute this to bipolar or borderline or both, but pulling away as a means to defend yourself from being abandoned is something that they do. And at the same time, they can still want and seek attention from someone else while you're with them technically.
These girls are bad, man. They aren't for you. They aren't for anyone. You would be better off staring at a wall and dying alone, which is what I've been doing for 2 years now.

In "manic" (don't like that term) she was really sweet and happy and wanted to make many plans. In other times she was an absolute menace. Plus the pulling away.
Just don't do it man. Though I have to say I am quite intrigued about your relationship now, how it's going and why you stay in it. Are you like me when I was young? I couldn't possibly be alone, I loved so much. I really enjoyed having a mom to take care of me that I could also fuck. In reality they never really took care of me, I always had to ask for it. But I still gaslit myself into thinking there's love and I enjoyed it. When I got a normal gf, I saw what love really is. Effort. Mutual effort. And mutual desire. None of which exist in these bpdemons

I'll definitely have my guard up for further bad behavior, but the distinction in this case is that she's quite well behaved. she doesn't interrupt me and was incredibly polite with breaking things off. she was even willing to talk to me for 1.75 and then 1.5 hours after the first breakup attempts. that inclines me to believe that her lack of interest is genuine and external to the mood swings.

anyway, what I wanted to do was have her come stay with me for a week or two, and just have some major structure to our lives. specifically waking up and sleeping at set times, prayer, meditation, therapy, massage, and working out, combined with productive days and peaceful relaxation. I won't push for this (I can't push for anything right now), but I really just want her to stabilize, to a degree, and then if she's not interested, very well, so be it.

the idea that maybe she broke it off because she's trying to protect me or punish herself is the sort of thing I don't like and which makes me concerned....

what do you think? yes, I want more effort from her. but with respect and commitment I can help someone through something.

I know it's probably over...

It's over brother, and all she wants from you is compliance. It's selfish. It's from a selfish place. I'll give you the best example I have:
An employer is firing me. The best case scenario is that I don't make a scene, and that I don't push for a large severance package. But the employer has already told me - you're disposed, you mean nothing to me now. Compliance is therefore not desirable, because I'm already let go of. Me being compliant will make the employer very happy! But it wouldn't bring my job back, no it won't sir.
And that's where you are with this girl - don't comply because you think complying will get her back. Comply because you understand that she's let you go, and now you want to do prayer, meditation, massage and good eating and workout on your own. For yourself. Because that's what you're gonna wanna do if you want to stay healthy brother. Once they abandon you it gets really difficult, and trust me that the reason doesn't matter too much, the result is all the same. She wants out. SHE wants out. Iterate this in your mind, it's never failed me.
SHE doesn't want me. It's not me, it's not circumstance, SHE doesn't want me. And what's a relationship if not a person wanting you? If that's not there, it's done. And it's a grievance against you. So you must not care about her in return, and comply simply because you want to make YOUR time better from now on, because she's no longer in the equation, you must stop thinking in twos. It's just you now, and that's okay, you don't need a bpdemon wearing you down.
It's inherently unfair and she'll go through life doing this to more dudes than you can count, but that's the nature of girls, and your nature is waiting and not being choosy. But there is a cutoff point, and the girl telling you she doesn't want you anymore is definitely the cutoff point. Let me know if you want to know anything else

https://youtu.be/KtkL40jRLvU?is=Q2I2aO7Tnv23m1Yb

I haven't watched this one, so I can't really comment or make more suggestions.

Still though, in most of his videos it's ok to be in the friendzone. Remember that ultimately you want a friend so being their for them will work wonders in the long run. The more mentally healthy and emotionally stable you are when it comes to these situations sends a signal to everyone that you are a safe and secure person to be with so either a bit further down the road she'll come around or someone else will see how you act and go "oh I want him! Time to buff my feathers up to get him to notice me!"

So I got some good news on this one.

She replied back, went "Hiii" and then said she had only seen my message now because she doesn't open instagram direct often. She then said she actually can't go, she thinks a friend is celebrating a birthday at a Sushi restaurant.

That would be alright, because I have sunday free, and I'd offer that up. But I've been using Wingman.app, paid version. It's been extremely useful. And I'm somewhat stuck.

The Romantic Interest tab about her insists hard that I shouldn't offer Sunday, because I'd lose frame and attraction with her. But the main chat is suggesting hard for me to offer Sunday to her.

I want to have 1 date a week, and I was planning on her being date 1 this week. I don't have anybody else since I haven't gone out scouting for more women yet.

I don't see what I got to lose offering Sunday to her. But I also don't wanna rush. So I don't know, I'm at a crossroads.

Do I offer her pizza on Sunday or not?

>>34821703
Ruthlessly following logic literally leads to emotional breakdown because it's just a emotional women position lol. You can't escape bro. Life is pointless and that's a good thing whatever fantasy of identity you craft for yourself to create enough distance to function in society whether it's Christianity, pretending you are a trad, being logical, it's all a cope. It's all a way to create enough distance to create meaning to function. For me, since I know this I don't need to do gay shit. I know what I want. Bitches, raves, djing, drugs, get money. I am liberated because I have chosen my own identity while also knowing it will never complete me. And is paper thin. It is fun. Period. This is how u operate in the first world. Looking to God looking to incels for advice looking for someone to validate u means ur a bitch. A bitch nigga.

Alot of people don't realize that like a "goal" a end point is not the goal. It's the journey. But not in the way you think it's literally biologically psychologically structured through language and the consequence of that is that completion doesn't exist. You have a void you will NEVER fill. But the act of trying to fill an infinite void is what? It creates movement. This is part of the base structure that creates movement for higher order abstractions. Higher things on the hierarchy of needs. So you need to know there is no END there is only movement. Once u stop moving and doing things you WILL face the pointlessness of life. And that means YOU are responsible for everything that happens to you there is no GOD to help you

You have a very vauge and tall order so I'm just going to dump a bunch for ya that I think might help. One thing I will recommend is to stop trying to find videos that "pop" for you. Just watch a few, maybe prioritizing a few that seem to vaugely apply or pop. What's important though is the self reflection and seeing how you can apply it to your life and putting what you've learned in to practice to see if it works for you.

I'm also thinking about working on a new OP. Happy that my links have been added, but many of the rest are still outdated or just incel trash like "Why women deserve less" which really needs to be taken out.

I did everything right, but I STILL can't find love.

To add onto this, the Romantic Interest tab for her keeps insisting that, "if she's interested she'll come back later", despite that it took 3 days for her to even see my message on instagram and women usually not having any initiative in things like this.

The AI on the Romantic Interest tab just wants me to drop it, say "ok, enjoy the birthday", and drop it. It implies she showed "no interest" because she didn't offer back another schedule where she's free.

Meanwhile, the main chat is telling me to offer sunday for her and I got a feeling there's nothing wrong with offering Sunday because I really doubt she's not free.

>>34821703

The issue with bipolar people is that it's a genetic thing so no matter what the most either party can do is manage and cope. Borderline people have a chance of getting fixed or at least easier better.

Either way both of them are minefields with eggshell triggers which is why most people would rather just avoid them or even think they just need to be late stage aborted.

In my personal experience I think it should be illegal for people with BPD to have or raise children.

just a question I'm not hating, but how do u plan to do the date when u are being "so cool and funny" in dm's and then go on an actual date? an earpiece?

Also, there is probably less than 25% chance she's interested in a date, but still a chance, so dont suggest sunday, it will completely destroy any chance left.
>>
>>34823022
By actually talking to her, lol. We spoke real nice in person for two days.

Why you think its 25% chance? And why not sunday?
>>
>>34823031
But if you mean how to organize the date, I'd schedule the time where we meet up at the pizza parlor, I might even ask for a uber for her.
>>
>>34823031
>she didnt "see" the message because she doesn't look at DMs much
I cant believe there are still people that believe this excuse. it is a soft let down bro, do you think she is literally blind and doesnt click the popups if she is even slightly interested?
>she thinks a friend is celebrating a birthday at a Sushi restaurant
2nd soft letdown but this one is actually more direct, saying "she thinks" means she didnt even look for sure but knows for sure to say no to your plan, not wanting to double check if she can go with you

Your App is completely right in saying you shouldn't offer Sunday, because right now you are not on her mind and suggesting another day again straight after 2 soft letdowns is just going to put you into the no-date zone. Best choice is to just play it cool and not come off as needy

>why 25%?
People have a lot of personal stuff which influences a lot of choices. If you are on her radar and at least seem cool and self-sufficient (in the dating scene) then there is always a chance. 25% is ofcourse arbitrary but put her on the back burner and give it a year or two you have quite a chance to bag her in that time. But for now set your sights on another.

>>
26 year old incel. Matched a cute girl on hinge we have been talking for a week straight. She texts me good morning and we talk all day. She loves all the weird shit I do. I've never really talked to a girl before this. She likes me so much she deleted hinge. I'm so happy. She lives far but we are meeting on Saturday. I never believed it would happen
>>
Last year, I went on this date with a girl I have history with and it went very well until the end when we kissed, because turns out, I had some kind of dental infection which caused me to have bad breath. We did meet up one more time when she sold me some of her ADHD meds, but in terms of hang out hang out, she declined.

I feel like texting her again. If she says no, would be smart to say something like "I'm pretty sure I know why you didn't want to hangout again last time, and sorry about that, I've been to the dentist since and had those problems resolved"? Or did I give her the permanent ick and I should just accept it's over?

I'm hopeful because she used to always say "you're by far the most attractive guy I've ever dated/slept with".

it may be small

there's some women in which you have a bigger chance
environment matters

i thought the same being so short
but, after trying and trying im finding there is a type of woman who is into me
although it's a small percentage of the population

anyway if i was 40, and felt that being with a woman was important
i would move countries, or travel for long periods of time to other environments than the one im not getting success at

The thing is, I do know that, logically. But in the moment that's not what I'm thinking. I just automatically react by giving up and freezing or walking away. It's not that I'm not having success, it's that I'm not even able to try.

In some of his other videos he does actually go in to more detail on how to get out. Obviously since he's a bit of an influencer he does have live online coaching programs where they go in to more depth or csn grt you someone to focus on you and your specific situations.

I think most of his videos though are autistic enough so you might just need to reflect more or play the algorithm and see if someone else might have some insite as well that isn't some Mansophere influencer.

speed dating is probably good for you honestly. Don’t go in trying to impress everyone, just talk about whatever comes naturally and ask about stuff she seems interested in. Books and guitar are perfectly fine. That said, I get wanting a few topics ready since those conversations are short and awkward silences can eat up a lot of time.

>>34817208
d just start showing up to campus stuff even if your classes are online. Clubs, events, sports, whatever you’d actually enjoy. You’ll have a way easier time meeting girls when you keep seeing the same people. But yeah, an hour drive is a pain, so I’d pick one or two things worth going to instead of forcing yourself there constantly.

>>34820305
Bro she stayed on FaceTime with you for three hours, it probably wasn’t nearly as bad as you think. You’re better over text because you have time to think, so calls are just something you need more reps with. I’d ask her out. Still, three hours doesn’t automatically mean she’s into you, but it definitely means you didn’t completely blow it.
>>34821601
cold approaching can work, just don’t take every short conversation as proof you’re unattractive. Your opener is fine, but sometimes just saying something about what’s happening around you feels way more natural. See if she gives you something back and go from there. At the same time, some women genuinely don’t want strangers approaching them, so knowing when to leave it alone matters too.

>>34823713
I’d text her again but wouldn’t lead with the breath explanation. Just ask if she wants to hang out and see what happens. If the old date comes up, then you can casually mention you found out you had a dental problem and fixed it. She might have lost interest for some completely different reason though, so I wouldn’t assume fixing that automatically gives you another shot.

>>34825023

Honestly pretty much all my real and long term relationships have been friends who I met from a long pipeline of going out. I go to anime conventions a lot, so it was going to parties, talking to someone and then combining or joining their social groups where then out of the cons hang out. Also where I met flings too by going to anime cons and partying all night.

Healthy gamer has a video about how to make friends and socialize.

Pretty much you want to make friends or even date you have to meet people from a regular event or meeting that you have little to no obligation of going to. Hence why so many people meet from bars, clubs, meet ups they regularly go to. A good way to do that is by having a productive hobby which if you need help finding or defining what a productive hobby is, I don't have a Dr K. video but I can tell you my philosophy that helped me.
>>
>>34825966
>Been talking to this girl for a while
How long of a "while" are we talking about here?
In dating apps you should move the conversation towards meeting in person as soon as possible while actively screening for whether or not she's down to fuck.

Even outside of dating apps with girls you know irl this is ALWAYS true regardless. You should give as little as possible of your time and emotional investment away to random women. They love attention more than anything else in the universe and the vast majority of them will just use you for it while stringing you along if you allow them to.

>think she actually likes talking to you
This kind of bluepill thinking is one of the reasons you got played to begin with. Why would you enjoy chatting with females, let alone a chick that you are interested in but don't even know if she is interested back or just using you as an emotional tampon?
What interesting or useful things could you learn from talking to her that would be worth your time over doing anything else with it (like meeting a different girl who may actually be into you)?
>>
>>34826106
>Why would you enjoy chatting with females

Anon if you don't remotely enjoy talking to someone just for the sake of it, or just to be with them then you shouldn't even remotely try to date them. Being that huper about a person's profitablity is for a job not your personal relationships. Either you like them or you don't.
>>
>>34826106
Yeah, fair. Hard truth is I probably did get played because I let talking itself become the relationship in my head. We met on Instagram, kept talking, and because I actually enjoyed talking to her I started assuming that meant there was some mutual interest building. Then the pay for nudes thing happened and basically forced me to realize I never actually established what the fuck this was in the first place.
Where I disagree is that enjoying talking to a woman is somehow the mistake. If I don't enjoy talking to her then why the fuck would I even want to date her? Treating every conversation like it needs to provide some immediate benefit sounds miserable. The problem wasn't that I liked talking to her. The problem was that I was giving her my time and getting emotionally invested without ever making her show that she wanted anything beyond conversation.
I should've pushed things forward sooner. Flirt more obviously, ask her out, actually make my intentions known and see what she does. If she's interested, she'll give me something to work with. If she constantly avoids meeting while happily taking hours of my attention, then I have my answer.
So yeah, lesson learned. I'm not gonna become some robot who refuses to enjoy talking to women because I'm terrified of being used. I'm just not going to spend weeks building something in my imagination either. If I like a girl, I'll make that clear sooner and judge her by what she actually does instead of what I hope the conversations mean.
Still fucking sucks though. I genuinely thought I was getting to know someone who liked me, and finding out I might've just been getting warmed up for a sales pitch is a pretty brutal way to learn that lesson.

I had a personal trainer for a couple years at a gym, but eventually stopped the training about two years ago when she left the job. Of course I never considered asking her out or anything, it was a professional relationship and she had a boyfriend that she talked about a lot. We were always relatively friendly with each other and I felt a lot of the time we just talked during the sessions rather than actually trained. However, I'd never really even entertain trying to hang out with her outside of the gym. I had her number and we texted a bit after she left (she said "hey we can be friends now!" or something along those lines) but the conversations never really popped off that much and I noticed her responses were late and were getting kind of shorter. So eventually I stopped texting her and eventually even deleted her number because I was pretty sure I'd never speak to her again. There was really no negative emotion behind this to me, I never really considered her a romantic option and our friendship was pretty thin. I think I last texted her about a year and a half ago. Maybe more.

Anyway I get a text from an unknown number this week and woah, it's her. She's just been asking how I've been and what I'm doing now. Responses are slow on her end but she keeps asking questions, and well, she initiated it. Am I dumb in that this is raising my eyebrow, possible romantic interest from her wise? There was like zero reason to bring me back into her life. No mention of her BF yet and if she's still with him. (and yes, I am totally expecting the eventual MLM pitch)
>>
>>34825949
>I’d text her again but wouldn’t lead with the breath explanation. Just ask if she wants to hang out and see what happens. If the old date comes up, then you can casually mention you found out you had a dental problem and fixed it.

Nah, it was 100% the kiss because the date was going perfectly until then. Plus, y'know, the fact we kissed. Then all of a sudden it goes to zero.

And I'm worried she'll just decline or say she's too busy, so I won't get a chance to explain myself. Granted, maybe she'll assume since it's been a long time, I've fixed the problem anyhow lol.

Once i heard someone say "instagram is the best dating app". she was a /soc/ whore so do with that what you will. I think the strategy is just to post "artsy" stories that signal your virtue so to speak
>>
>>34826747
The value of IG is most people these days have it (especially girls), so it's a great vector to casually message someone. There's a reason whenever you hear stories of someone "sliding in her DMs", they're talking about IG 90% of the time. It's just a useful entry-point that allows socially acceptable, casual approaches.

I spoke to this girl for two days at the gym. I found out what her dream was, and we chatted about our personal lives. I flirted with her; I told her a joke. She gave me her Instagram details, and when I went back the next day and asked her to give them to me again because I hadn’t written them down properly, she wrote them down for me. We high-fived, and when I held her hand, she gently stroked the back of my hand with her thumb.
So at the weekend on instagram I say hi, she says hi, I ask her out on Saturday to get some pizza, and then it turns out she can’t go out because she’s going to a friend’s birthday party at a sushi restaurant. That’s fine, I tell her, we can go out on Sunday.
I finish work today, log onto Instagram, and her reply is: “So, I’ll probably be up late on Saturday and won’t get a proper night’s sleep overnight.” “I might be really tired on Sunday.”

Because you know, if there's one thing that makes you really tired is eating fucking sushi.

I sent her:
"Cool, rest on Sunday then. When you got free time, let me know and we'll have pizza."

But she's not gonna let me know fucking anything.

My anime convention's coming in a few days. I want to have fun there, but I really want a cosplayer GF. They're dressed up, yeah, but they're also fans and are easy to approach because their costume is already something to talk about. My problem is that I don't really know how the convo should go. I'm going to post my results as they happen, but I really want to know NOW how a conversation should go.

Many guys hit on them. Many probably say the same exact thing to them. I want what I say to be different. I want to attract them.

I can only get better if I actually see something I can say. Advice such as "it’s how you say it" kind of helps, but not so much as I am still new to approaching so I'm going to have some nervousness doing so. I know I should approach more, but I just want to know what to say.

How should it go? What should I say exactly? What can she say exactly? I know that no convo's exact, but I want to know what to say so that I make sure I don't fuck it up. I am asking as a big favor.

Thank you in advance for reading. Hope you are all doing well.

It's difficult, but at this point in my life, I try to stop hesitating from meeting up with new people even if I'm a mess. If they don't like me, they don't like me. I shoot the shit with the only good friend I have where I live. I don't reject any of her friends. I don't reject any colleagues at work. I try not to be a pushover but I try not to keep people away from me either. I receive any new visit with a smile, a genuine smile, because I think there's a chance there, even if tiny. Not a fake one like I have to go through some effort.
>>
I don't know what to do over my fear of pushing anything forward at all.
I'm already fairly old and unsuccessful (not too unsuccessful in life, I have a dead stable job which is hard to find in this god forsaken country, so I can take care of myself, but that's pretty much it). Whenever a situation arises in which I meet a woman I might be ever so slightly interested in, I have this policy of trying really hard not to give away that I might be interested. That basically means I don't ever ask anyone out, I'll try to talk to them only in a group context, never cold approach, and if I end up laughing with them, picking on them or even getting some kind of remote signal that they might be comfortable enough with me, I won't try to grab on that and push any further. Even drunk I will act like this. I'm aware at least of an instance in my life in which I've received a crystal 100% clear signal that someone was interested in me and I've shielded myself from that.
Texting is the worst, much worse than IRL, because if I get short responses that don't lead anywhere, my brain goes into "yeah I'm not even gonna try here". Even as of right now I'm having this very problem with someone I just met and it's eating me up a little. I've been ghosted twice by girls I've known and hung out for years who put me on a fucking pedestal at some point, so that hit me a bit hard.

Thank you, anons.

Honestly, I get it. I also value my sleep specially on the weekends and she's a busy girl, she works a full shift, goes to the gym and studies to be a firefighter.

But its obvious she doesn't want to go out, because she doesn't want to put in the effort. It wouldn't be so bad if I couldn't meet her again because her gyn renovated so she's not going to mine again, and she barely uses Instagram. She hasn't seen my last message yet, for example.

I have no expectations on whats next except that she's probably not gonna say anything. If I felt she would keep communicating, it wouldn't feel so bad. I can chat her up into a date again.

What do I do?
>>
>>34829996
You don't do anything. Your last message was fine. If she's interested she'll get back with you and set something up. If not, then not. Rub one out and forget about it for now.

But I would love getting a goth girl's number if I manage to find the rare one without a septum piercing. And on the instagram story of the party they were playing Blue Monday on a past party, and I love Blue Monday.

Well anons I have officially become chad. I'm now the guy fucking multiple women. Some of whom are going on dates with other guys who have no idea. Don't fall in love with women.

And yes of course the women I am sleeping with are not 10/10 or anything, just average women. And I exaggerate by calling myself chad. It was not easy for me to get to this point like it would be for chad.

searches on and on.
