@OT_2_Equity@middle_class_us I've seen Latino families blow multiples of $30 for each of their kids to have 2 minutes of fun on shopping mall fairground attractions. 95% of cars on the road are nicer than my 15yo Toyota, though I'm top 5% income. These people are just different.
@aruvinchan Of course. I didn't say it doesn't work. But every man in the room groans when their pleasant chat with a girl is interrupted by an attention seeking poser playing the same 14 notes of Come As You Are over and over
@TopherNOW@impostersyndrum Cast a wide net. Don't get emotionally invested in the first girl who agrees to hang out. See it as her auditioning to be in your life. Audition several girls a month. Eventually one will like you enough, without being a ho, that you can pick her.
@TopherNOW@impostersyndrum Volunteering. Favorable f/m ratio. Girls there tend to be sane. Try a few kinds of volunteer events as they vary by location.
@TopherNOW@impostersyndrum Lift. The hardest "F me" smile I ever got from a girl was in a supermarket right after lifting. Was dressed like a bum with dirty sweaty tank and shorts, unshaven. You don't have to be Jay Cutler, having a halfway decent physique is enough to be a game changer
@Van3452@hatemytimeline@zaxs_cat@Narddog4747 Using money to get female attention is painfully boomer coded. I feel sorry for waitresses having to put up with old codgers' awkward "yeah I still got it" flirting.
@Dirtdog See this first date idea is much better than flowers and dinner. Breaks her expectations, is a surprise, shows you in a position of authority, lets her feel a slight sense of fear (rollercoaster, not serial killer).
Why the F are you telling guys to do flowers and dinner???
@Dirtdog This is just wrong. You don't have to be a manosphere psycho, but that doesn't mean you should be a suited up dork with a bouquet and open wallet to be exploited.
All my gfs were normal girls who liked fun and non-weirdos, even when I was too broke to pay for anything.
