So much of it sucks. Goin on dates is fuckin exhausting. Then things eventually don't work out and you have to repeat the process. How people can be bothered is beyond me.

Went on a date a while ago, had a good time, but in the end she either wasn't into or just bad at showing she was. Either way, took the L there. I don't mind the rejection so much though, cos it gives me hope that theres people out there who I'm at least interested in.

Went on a date with a new person today. Was excited to go on it, we got on well over text. Came to in person and I just didn't click with em so well. I dunno. Maybe I'm being too harsh. I couldn't really tell how she felt about the date to be honest. Not sure if it's worth the effort of finding out.

Weirdly I feel like first dates went better if I'd been a whore for them over Instagram first.

    I always hate that one of the most intimate parts of being human was commoditized to hell. Online dating seems to be the norm and I don't have any pictures of myself like I did in college

    I haven't been on a date in such a fucking long time. I can certainly see why cishet white men are easily drawn to people like Jordan Peterson and all of the other self-help gurus- it reeks of desperation and is a result of being atomized

    Let me know when you find an answer to your question lol

    Also, very good yugopnik video

      Absolutely. I can't even count the number of times I met someone online and went on 1-3 dates before it just didn't work out. Maybe 25-30 over a period of like 6 years? It took some will power to not start getting real down on myself and turn to grifters like Peterson.

      The strangest part is how even just six or seven years ago meeting people through an app or a website was quite unusual. Most people in their 20s and everyone in their 30s and above should be able to remember a time before all of this nonsense. Yet the public remains captured by these awful apps.
