Here are the other suggestions from that page, if anyone is interested:

These are way better than the one liners women send me on bumble. 90% of them are 'where do you want to travel and would you take me?' type crap.

Why are you even still on any dating apps? All you do is complain how awful it is, the other 10% don't seem to be making it worth your while either or you'd not be on those apps.

Because it's the only way to meet women who are single with any regularity and you can sort out incompatibilities easily.

IRL doesn't work. There are no single women I want to date in my life. I mostly meet women who want to cheat on their spouses with me, or otherwise incompatible, which I am not interested in.

What do women like to talk about?

In my experience, women talk more about life and men talk more about interests.

Same. I want to talk about interests and activities, they want to talk about how awful their life is. And we both end up resenting each other.

I was on a date last week and kept asking her what she wanted to do, where she wanted to go, what plans she had for the future, and all she wanted to do was talk was her ex, her family, and her co-workers at her job. Then at the end of the date she kept telling me how great I was and I was confused, because she had expressed zero interest in me the entire evening and asked me virtually nothing about myself. It was just a vent/therapy session for her and she got what she wanted out of it.

How long do you talk to potential dates before going on the date?

I ask because I usually like to (when I was dating) text/call for 6 weeks before going on an inperson date. Weeded out a lot of bad matches this way..

I ask people out after a few messages. I don't have time to waste talking to people for 6 weeks, and frankly they ghost me after a few messages because they also don't want to message back and forth.

The incompatibility isn't in the messaging, it's in the physical face to face date. Just because someone looks cute in their pictures doesn't mean it will translate to any real world attraction. Hence, get to the date as soon as possible and don't build somebody up via messaging. I'm looking for truth, not some fantasy chat bot.

Everyone is positive and wonderful when they message you. It's only person to person, when they feel comfortable, they open up and show you who they really are. Just like most of my exes, were great, until they decided they no longer had to 'make an effort' with me and told me truth about themselves that ended the relationship.

Heck, this woman I'm talking about above, said she likes kids and pets and wanted kids and pets... then on the date, she said the exact opposite. In messaging, she loved her dog, and dogs are great. In person, it was "i only got this dog because my ex likes dogs and I don't really like it but I'm stuck with it until it dies." I encounter that a lot too. A lot of people lie because they want other people to like them and they give the 'popular' answer. But face to face, that is much harder to do than it is text messages. In person it's easy to have a drink or two, and let people talk until they show you what they really feel and think deep down.

I'm looking for something and someone real. I'm never going to get that from texting people or pursuing casual relationships. Only way to get it is legit conversation one on one an getting them to open up. I don't want to interact with someone for weeks or months with them lying to me about how they like kids and dogs when I can get it done in a few days and I can move on to the next person who maybe actually does like kids and dogs and isn't saying they do like them because they want to bone me.

I met my husband on plenty of fish in 2019. I found the method helpful. Of course, there were multiple times it didnt work out before I met him, and I hear what youre saying. It makes sense. Idk. Sorry its been a rough go. I feel bad.

They came to the americas and somehow magically managed to not genocide all the people. Clearly superior to the other europeans or simply not yet infected by the capitalist mind virus.

I get my history through manga, strictly manga, so Vinland Saga has taught me that you're wrong and the Vikings would have done so had they not been so embroiled in their own world.

I'm kidding about getting my history through manga. I don't think Vikings would have behaved any differently from the other white people who came to the Americas, though. Just like Native Americans would have absolutely destroyed the white immigrants if they had equivalent firepower before their arrival.

We like to paint these groups as better because our current circumstances are shit, but the reality is they're just more shadows on the wall.

I remember that book, in the sense it was given to me. I remember nothing inside it lol.
