Dating - Good/Bad Experiences

catcher22 · 09-18-2018, 11:56 AM

Wow, to think I read all 24 pages of this thread. Pure gold.

All I can say, is that unless you're 6 foot 7 and on a professional sports team, online dating is complete shit. I met my fiancé the normal way, in person, she was actually babysitting my brothers kids

but while we were still single/just hanging out in the early days of the relationship I wanted to be sure she was the one. So what did I do? Loaded up Tinder, Bumble, Match, OkCupid, Shaadi and all those stupid ass apps.

I even paid a professional photographer for awesome pictures of me lounging, playing soccer, at the bar with a drink, profile shots, and on my motorcycle. They were fucking drool worthy. Damn I wish I had dog too, that may have been better. I'm a fit fucking dude, the problem is I'm not tall and most girls screen out guys under 7 feet. Being tall is the most overrated characteristic in this world lol.

Boy was online dating excoriating. Seriously, my fiancé is very good looking and 11 years younger than I (I'm 36) but the hits I was getting online just didn't jive with the girls that have historically been interested in me in real life. It sucked big time. Took a big hit on my ego until I realized the apps are a shit show. I did end up talking to some cool chicks but the vast majority were batshit crazy and of no interest to me at my age.

Anyway, the whole online thing just confirmed to me that the person I had was amazing, so I popped the question.

When I have the time, I'll post about my bat shit crazy ex from college and her lingerie parties. One of which was incredibly memorable

Also, to the guys here, if you're gonna hookup with random chicks, wear a damn condom that fits and won't slip off. It's not embarrassing, just figure out which brands work and which dont. For everybody's sake.

How dare you suggest we aren't all magnums. You see yourself out of this thread good sir, and feel free to let the door hit you on the way out for your comments.

depends...... cooking is a good skill to have

stops you eating out buying junk

I love the "chemistry" of it, adding things together.

Once you learn to cook for yourself and others "hungry men" dinners taste like cardboard

Set a table??? Get out of here with that shit. Some things are only useful if you're trying to marry them. You lose man points for knowing this and not being a servant.

No one in here is going to take manly advice from someone who thought his oven was leaking water but somehow knows how to woo the ladies with knowing where the salad fork and soup spoon go.

Being able to cook for a lady is one thing, knowing how to fold a napkin properly is something most women don't even know how to do.

at least on a college level the simple fact that you know how to do more about food than heat up frozen pizza or stop by chipotle will get you so far ahead

The women I know would rather a man be a man than to set a table. Provide good food, make them laugh and make their toes curl. That's it unless you're trying to wife them or carry their purse.

yeah im not about that, im down to cook for two or cook with her and then eat it... not about to set up a "romantic and perfect" evening where there's a five course meal and the napkins are folded nicely and of course ironed properly.

if im feeling like it most i'll do is light up a candle. look into mancans (manly candles) if that's youre thing, they actually smell awesome

This right here is what made it sound like you were online dating while you "had her". So I could see the misconception.

From someone who has been around a lot of women, the more sophisticated you act in the event that you aren't a millionaire, the more suspect women become of you. Be a man and they'll appreciate it. Act like a MANcy boy and you'll be renovating a downstairs nightclub that no one will come to.

call me stupid but i don't see what you're saying with this...
mancans aren't that expensive; its a college here lol there's only so much "flexing" and "sophistication" you can pull off (maybe im not seeing your point because im thinking in a smaller frame?) and not look like a complete douche who can only get laid thanks to daddy's wallet

I'm referring to Jaye's comments and posts in other threads he's made. I'm not quite sure how he's allowed in public places without a chaperone and a crash helmet. You could make a thread about the color brown and he would somehow insert something about home renovations or how great he is with the ladies, then several posts later will bitch about his wife.

As for candles, dude; that's spot on. Low light/candles, good music, (If you need some new tunes, check out Chet Faker, Alex Claire, Two Feet, Hippie Sabotage, Glass Animals) and have your place smelling good (I use teak wood air diffusers from Bath and Body Works).

As for music...Im always down for new recommendations if any of you have some good ones....excluding country. Hard to set the mood with that garbage.

The key is to be a bit of both. Be a manly man but also someone who cleans up nice and she isn't afraid to take to a family gathering or out to a nice restaurant.
