But for the last paragraph, I agree with the point.
Of course the world doesn't owe anyone anything and women don't *need* a man per se, but the rest of that paragraph was the dizzy limit.

Isn't the whole point of having a job to make good money to afford the things you desire? What makes my job a "draw back"? The fact that I don't sit behind a desk and have to get dirty at work?
I'd take being a mechanic over being a burger flipper over a cashier at a retail store any day.

Then you don't want to be "fake"- as if making a good first impression is "fake".


No one is "making fun" of you or "shaming" you or "cackling at you.. Sounds like YOU feel all those things. You posted here asking why you're always rejected. You're opinion below is one of many problems.


"TBH you sound like a woman, shaming a man who doesn't conform to what society expects for finding his own outlet for his frustrations, basically sitting back and cackling at someone because they "Just don't get it" without being able to articulate their POV beyond that."

You need to be tested for being on the spectrum. No one here can help you as you have resisted all and any info.
What makes you think I'm "on the spectrum"? Because someone has trouble socially that makes them autistic?

Others have given me advice here, I don't recall getting any from you. Do you have any constructive advice for me? I'm all ears.

I can see that.

Yeah, really. OP, pay little mind to her. For all you know, she might be someone you wouldn't want anyway.

Why are women so quick to reject guys that go to hookers? Not that I've told anyone in my personal life that I use escorts, but I'd like to know why women look down on men that use escorts more than the player that sweet talks women and feeds them a line of BS to get into their pants. I know which one I respect more. One person wants sex, the other wants money, why is it so wrong to come to an agreement to make that happen. And why is going on a date and buying dinner, flowers, etc. seen as any different? You're still paying for sex at the end of the day, one's just direct and the other's indirect.

4. I always hear people complaining about dating.
5. I have a few male friends that I've known since HS, we might hang out once every month or so. Never had many friends and have always been kind of a loner.
Why do any potential future partners need to know you went to prostitutes? Women love having sexual secrets. No reason you can't have your own.

As to why they look down on guys who see hookers but not guys who are players...well first off some women do look down on players. Even some of the ones who sleep with them look down on them(and the feeling is probably often mutual). But the women who match your description see that the player has earned his sex while the guy using the hooker has only bought it, and cheated the system.

Edit to add: The notion that you being a mechanic is something to be looked down upon is ridiculous.

A couple of things, OP. Being an auto mechanic is a perfectly respectable job. Don't be defensive about it. Rather, be glad that you won't ever have to deal with the poster who thinks your profession would not reflect well enough on her precious self.

Regarding prostitutes, think about this. You don't need a prostitute to relieve sexual frustration. There are easier, cheaper, and safer ways to do that. Go if you want, but think about what need you're really trying to satisfy, and whether paying a woman for sex will do that.

Seriously, disregard Emily's disdain for your mechanic job.

She is no elected representative of womankind. She and maybe friends of hers, might feel that way. But there are MANY many women who would not only find it perfectly acceptable, but even very sexy in a "here's a man who can fix stuff" kind of way. That's actually very attractive to lots of women.

No shame in the Trades. None.

Now again, your choice to respond to posts you can argue angrily back at, rather than ones spoken in fair tones of wanting to try and give (maybe helpful?) feedback...that says more. That points to my question of whether you are an angry, defensive, or argumentative guy in person or not.

Gotta be able to brush off people who are clearly saying absurd and not-remotely-universally-true things sometimes, y'know?

Are you freaking kidding me? Can you IMAGINE KNOWING whether or not your mechanic is trying to pull one over on you and sell you some BS work you don't need?? Give me a mechanic!

Having a car and being physically active and in shape aren't mutually exclusive.

I do agree with the point that a job and a house and reliable transportation along with hobbies and interests are just the bare minimum of being a functional adult. They don't make anyone special or a better dating candidate. I am getting the hint from the OP that he might be one of those "I tell it like it is" kind of people who confuse authenticity and tact with rudeness.
