Are there any men who have given up on dating after no success I have went through over forty rejections with no success so I decided to give up. This is for men only so if you have had success in dating or are a women this isn't for you.

Do we really need another thread like this? Seriously. There isn't even a question.

I am not dating because I am not successful in the game of life. The is no ? I can get a GF if I wanted one but becoming successful is way more important than having a GF right now.

It said for men but I guess you missed that part.

Actually, I gave up a long time ago-- the concept of dating revolves too much around consumerism and all kinds of annoyingly complex codes of etiquette that complicate something that shouldn't be complicated. It's one of those urban phenomena that repulses me and makes me feel like a robot.

I gave up totally and a few years later I scored myself a Euro-hottie who is delighted with chemistry, communication and a genuine desire to commit.

Be patient, know what you want, and good things will come!

I know what you mean good for you though this was for men with no success in dating.

I stopped dating for a while because I was broke as hell and had went out with a few women who turned out to not be so nice. Took some time off, lifted weights, lowered my handicap in golf and then just waited for a nice cute girl to come around. She did.

Instead of saying you're giving up, just do something else. There are far more important things to do in life than worry if a woman likes you or not. Just be nice to people, talk to everyone and if you meet a girl you really like.. just ask her out like a man.

Well, it actually is kind of relevant because people don't 'date' in Denmark... I didn't 'date' her in the same sense that Americans date. But maybe that's not what you're talking about?

Anyways, here's an article:

To be honest, I think North America is absolutely brutal in terms of its institutions aggressively promoting equality while its politics and culture promote patriarchy. ****'s confusing.

I didn't say I was giving up I have given up and I don't talk to people I ignore them and go about my business like you said there are far more important things to do.

It's still good to be social and nice. If you don't feel like cold approaching 10 women a week, don't. But giving people a smile or talking when you're waiting in line is always good to do. People who are more social are typically happier people.
