what is the advantage of doing something like this? i am a layperson
Understandable. That’s always tough. You mentioned competition, my specific advice in this case would be to find spaces that are more traditionally women-coded that likely aren’t going to attract a lot of toxic males. I’m thinking stuff like knitting/sewing/crafting circles, paint parties, flower/garden stores, clothing stores, even getting a cute dog. The key is presenting yourself in a comfortable, non-threatening way while also being assertive that allows you to build trust free from anxiety. hope this helps.
Like many here have already said, the dating apps are there to make money these days. Getting a connection is a slim possibility but you never know, I met my current partner through one many years ago. I see a lot of unhappy people in the comments, allow me to “spit some game”:
-You need to be confident, this includes simple stuff like standing up straight, learning to style your hair, skincare, etc. This stuff doesn’t have to cost a lot. Read the book “how to win friends and influence people” even if it is a bit outdated, it can give you tips. just walking into somewhere with a smile on your face or chuckling to yourself can have an outsized effect on how you are perceived.
-get therapy. i don’t mean just paying a psychologist to talk to you, just talk to people, friends, family you trust and express your issues and ask for advice. heck, even talking to strangers or AI can be therapeutic. just don’t keep all your negative thoughts in your head, you need perspective and connection with people in non-romantic ways.
-examine your hobbies. there was 2 lists that came out recently, most attractive and unattractive male hobbies. understand what makes one attractive and not. learning a language is a top one for a reason. there’s an app called Tandem that allows you to talk to people all over the world, this is a good low stakes environment to talk to people of different genders.
-go out in public. master the art of the talking to strangers in a non creepy way. learn body language and see how ‘receptive’ someone is. lots of people aren’t receptive, but some are. practice with customer service people. home furnishing stores, libraries, book stores, are low stakes areas to meet people. check out a few TikTok accounts of people doing “exposure therapy”, basically acting super cringe in public to acclimatize themselves to not be fearful or shameful around strangers.
-laugh. at yourself, most importantly. most ‘flirting’ is just joking around. it doesn’t have to be so complicated. I know this sounds cringe, but watching shows like “The Bachelor” or “Love Island” reality shows are interesting ways to observe connections being formed. You may not be as attractive as the people in these shows, but realize that attraction is a game, and that game can be gamed.
Feel free to message me if u need more advice
We love you all. :(
We are so back, baby!
ah yes, the famous ‘democratic’ (fascist) regime of Pilsudski
they said it couldn’t be done, they said there couldn’t be a website worse than reddit, but they didn’t conceive of the quora. also, shoutout to the hilarious Quorators podcast
american culture is mostly a cesspool
He was just kind of bad at management. He didn’t see the importance of computers and didn’t have good policies to reverse the stagnation.
if anything this hoax just shows the failures of liberalism. if these papers were analyzed in a true materialist sense, it never would’ve happened in the first place.
While this may have been true with Saddam’s forces, to say “arab” in general is ridiculous
I’ve never seen them able to justify it, they usually don’t understand the history behind the Khmer Rouge and the Vietnam war. Vietnam was literally the only just actor in the whole history of those conflicts.
Yes, but China took it way too far. China sided with the USA and armed the Khmer Rouge and continued to support them even after the Vietnamese kicked the KR out of power exposed their crimes to the world. They invaded Vietnam as punishment and got their asses handed to them. China and the USA continued to argue that the KR hold its UN seat despite not holding power and massive crimes.
nah we knew that already
I soak them overnight, adding some baking soda also helps. Then I boil them in a big stock pot for like 4 hours. Takes a long time but worth it
sounds great. you gotta try making them from dried beans
