The Modern Dating Thread

women operate on emotions and stability, so one day for whatever reason if a light switches, she'll decide you're not the one for her. any good that you've had will suddenly be forgotten. if you'd asked her 2 weeks ago before she met the dude in the elevator, she would have swore she was going to marry you, has never been happier.

after she switches, she feels as though she hasn't been happy with you for a long time and justify to herself that she never loved you.

hard to conceptualize but brings peace

The issue is when you start date one at $100-200, and you see them weekly, that ends up being close to $600-800 depending on what you do. That's just for dinner, add activities, and weekend long trips.


I'm at this odd stage where there's 4 people that I've had good vibes with, but I have zero energy or desire to spend $$ on more than 1-2 dates a week, so now that I've given up, I'm getting max attention from all 4. Funny how dating works.

I also concluded if I'm not down to spend money on them, maybe I'm not into them like that? Probably cause some of them told me they prefer a 80-100 / 0-20 dynamic for paying for dates. and i have no capacity atm to want to plan dates like that.

basements are okay if you're 6'1+ and built like ohtani, otherwise cooked if you want a pretty girl

If you manage to find a girl who listens when you call out her bs, she's got a better head on her shoulders than most. Chances are, that one's a keeper. The ones who continue to be delusional in the current market will find themselves alone or doing IVF to have a baby on their own (I've got stories about this too).
