Alrighty then. You don't want to step outside your comfort zone and make any effort. And that's women's faults of course.

As my mom says, there is no such thing as boredom, just boring people. If you can't find anything that interests you, I think that's on you.

As for "a date in seconds" ... riiiiight. That totally happens.

Oh I get it! I get that you are a complainer who blames everyone else and shoots down any advice that might help you. How many more threads are you going to start about this stuff? Instead of getting all this negative attention here - why not spend your time trying to get positive attention in real life? Why not spend your time trying to improve on your dating skills instead of coming on here and lamenting how hopeless it is for men? Gee - I'm married so obviously it wasn't hopeless for at least 1 man!

Don't approach her at the gym - she's just trying to work out
Don't approach her at the bar/club - she's just there to have fun with her friends
Don't approach her on the street - it's creepy
Don't approach her at every other location imaginable because of X, Y and Z reasons



So what's going on here? Do 99.99% of people just find their partner through their small social circle? Are you doomed to be alone if you don't have any friends who know single girls?


I don't mean to sound bitter in the slightest bit, just curious what one is supposed to do

You obviously don't listen to a word of advice people give you. Go away

This thread is stupid and not close to being correct. The only advice people give you is to start approaching women. You're just a weak loser who's too afraid to talk to a girl.


Go buy a hooker, actually you'll probably be too afraid to talk to her.

I can make plenty of effort, I just value my free time tremendously because I work so hard at my job.


BTW I don't know anybody who had to go into volunteering/social club/etc... to find somebody, that's only a phenomenon that's common in this forum that's really baffling me

I think it depends on the person. Self-effacing doesn't work for me.

I go for cute and flirty. I smile a lot, say flattering things, bust balls a little bit (very little bit), and I throw out cocky comments here and there.

I just focus on being nice and genuine towards people. Listen to what they say, have interesting conversations on topics that they enjoy, make sure that I'm not just talking to them because I have some ulterior motive, but because I enjoy and respect their company


Apparently that's not enough nowadays, you have to be a standup comic

This is your problem right here--a completely exaggerated and defeatist attitude. A sense of humor is good. Most people like that, but nobody said that you have to be a stand-up comic.

Yes - you are correct. Only stand up comics are capable of getting girlfriends. You sure do know how to interpret people's comments and advice! That's exactly what they are implying! There's really no hope for you.

Yes, you are. You have to know at least one girl, so she can introduce you to her friends.
