I go out and have fun. People will date you if they like being around you. There's very little salesmanship involved (except the confidence that is required in both).
I have to admit, the only experience I have with dating is from reading on here and seems like if you aren't perfect, you can forget about finding someone.

That's far too clinical for me. I'd rather be single.

This forum is definitely not how dating is IRL.

Most of the people on here are very negative and have major issues.

Dating in the real world is pretty fun. As long as you don't take it too seriously, it's pretty easy too.

Most men date mainly for the prospect of sexual activity. The same can't be said to an even close extent, for women in most cases.

It's a lot like fishing. A lot of time, effort, and money with little chance of catching anything prize-winning. Still, a lot of guys seem to enjoy fishing, so I'm sure there are some that like dating.

The little things in which you see them nitpicking over & the games they feel compelled to play on here they do IRL as well. I don't know why they try and act like they don't. I have seen it for myself even with my limited experiences. It's the same set of people on and off the computer, only on CD do they claim them to be different.
