Does anybody here feel like dating is a waste of time? When I think about all the people I have met and dated since the beginning of the year, I can't find one person that I would consider "relationship material" and that I am still interested in.

Even the people that I was friends with benefits with, I am not even interested in them anymore because I felt like I lowered my standards and honestly, none of these experiences were that great and I am sick of these random hookups and strictly physical encounters that basically lead me nowhere

I have met most of my girlfriends when I was not looking for anybody, either at a party, or at a new job, etc. When I think about all the money I have wasted on dates lately that led to nothing I would call, quality time, it feels like a total waste of time!

You have to actually like women to enjoy dating them.

I love women, I just don't like trashy, vulgar, classless, scandalous women and I am not settling for garbage. Unfortunately, it seems like there are very few women out there who are not aiming for the dumpster, keep getting more tattoos, it makes you women look so classy!

Are there really no classy women out there, or are they just not looking at you? Maybe you should take a break and work on yourself--examine exactly why it is that you keep attracting Ms. Wrong. That's the exact same advice that you would give to women. It works the same for men.

Ms Wrong is more like Ms Average. Believe me, most of the women I have met are average women, college educated with good jobs, not some **** or trailer park woman. I don't think I am the problem, the overall quality of the average person out there these days is kinda low in my opinion.

The way you sleep with women, and then put them down because they slept with you makes you look like a class act too. Why if you would do something so trashy, do you believe that you deserve a woman who has class?

Rep,

again as I have stated before........dating is not a waste of time. Also.....if you were looking for a job do you think you're going to get a job from the first resume you send out? Of course not. You have send a few dozen to land something.

This is no different. If you're interested in a serious relationship, don't you think it would be worth it to spend time looking for it? I do and I would.

It's not a waste of time, you're just building momentum. Take it slow, date for a little while than stop for a while.

I am not there yet as it relates to wanting a serious situation but it will not be hard to find someone that I could settle down with. I meet more women that are worthy than not.

I think a lot of people make it so hard. Don't put any energy into this. Just let it flow naturally. Guys put way to much energy into "women". Don't do it.
