Sometimes I ask why I do it too. Part of it is that I am very resilient, but I guess I am a stupid masochist too.
I often draw parallels between natural bodybuilding and dating. Natural bodybuilding may leave you disappointed, but at least, you get the benefits that come from training/moving whereas dating offers close to zero benefits. It's one of the most toxic things I have ever done in my life.
Also, don't forget that every second female profile is:
"I like traveling, wine, dogs."
Speaking of online dating, I am rereading this (and other) article: http://nattyornot.com/why-its-easier-for...s-related/
Your story about your first internet date is the average woman's reality, which is enlightening to get a glimpse into. Funnily enough, the first woman I met from the internet was a complete stranger who added me on facebook because I was her type. That in itself is something I probably could not do without being a "creep", in the unlikely case she adds me at all. We met for about a year, making out and dryhumping, but she claimed to want to have sex only if I married her. I wasn't willing to do that mainly because I didn't find her attractive enough. She validated me for my looks. After I ended it, several months went by and we met up again. She bragged to me that she had fucked 16+ men since, including an international celebrity who took her around, and insisted on proving it. During our time together she had once laughed at how she knew a bunch of gym bros were not getting any pussy at all though they pretended to.
My question is, are women in general aware of modern dating dynamics? Are they aware of the discrepancy? Or do they live in ignorance of their privilege?
And about their profiles, I wouldn't mind their barebones batch-process profiles if it were the case that they have them because they prefer to socialize with prospects in reality rather than online - as my own patience for wasting time and effort online is now very short. But that's not the case. They are batchmade barebones because they want you to put the effort in to entertain and validate them and feel entitled to having you do so, but they do not want to meet let alone have sex with you maybe unless you are at least in the top 10%. What better way to feel validated than for your mere existence without even doing anything?
