The worst part about dating is that you can go on amazing dates with someone, convince you there might be something happening and then you get that “I’m not feeling it” text when you’re at your most emotionally invested state. Dating apps and that garbage “man vs woman” content that’s been spread through many social media algorithms have seriously poisoned the waters.

@@KaLionVsTheWorld I think the answer here is to not get too emotionally invested, at least not too early. Even when it looks like a great opportunity. Easier said than done, no doubt.

As a 23 year old, I think one of the reasons why people fail at finding romantic fulfillment is because they often see the world as it should be and not what it actually is…especially if you’re a good person. I know that’s one of my problems…I believe in people too much. Times have changed. A lot of folks are disingenuous because meeting new people often feels like an interview where you have to tick every box. People aren’t as forgiving anymore when it comes to your shortcomings and flaws as a person when in reality nobody’s perfect. A lot of young people today only love the idea of being with someone to feel validated because the beginning stages of a new relationship can give you big hits of dopamine until you begin to figure them out as a person. A part of eventually being in a happy marriage is accepting the fact that your partner is not perfect and they may disappoint you at times, but you’ll get through it if you can simply be understanding and communicate how you feel instead of throwing jabs on social media or being passive aggressive when things aren’t going your way. Sadly, most of my generation has little patience for that. So as a result, they’re quick to discard someone and they will continue to struggle finding love if they don’t do some self reflecting and I can see this having many consequences in the future. I’m already beginning to see it because feeling lonely can make people become nihilistic. It makes you lose faith in dating and it makes you keep your guard up because you always expect the worst out of people instead of giving them a chance…which is why many young men and women have given up in pursuing romantic fulfillment.

listen bro... 99% of relationships do come naturally. But if your definition of "naturally" means the girl is gonna come to you, i got bad news for you. "Naturally" means a guy finds a girl attractive he STARTS flirting with her and trying to go on a date with her. Naturally then means that she responds positively to it. And things develop further. In most natural relationships as you call them, the guy starts something, initiates something, starts showing some intent/interest. And you keep pursuing based on signals she gives off. For me it happened through my friend group. This one girl became part of it and we had great chemistry. Then at some point there were signs and then at some point we kissed. But if your idea of naturally is to wait for something to happen, you're gonna wait a long time.

[@K1oshi-i6c]

It is easy to become jaded and even a bit intimidated at the thought of loving someone or having someone love you. We see nothing but the negatives of “love”. We scroll through stories of cheating, heartbreak, and lost. We see fabricated images of what we’re “supposed” to look like. We hear these crazy and unreachable standards and goals and think that’s what everyone expects from us to even be seen as a person. I fell into this trap for so long. Swearing to myself that I’d never date or love. That there’s no point in a world like this. I am still single. I have been for years. But what I can say is that love does exist, with a change of perspective. In my search for love I found to love life. Love the sunrise. Love the moon rise. Love the falling leaves, the birds chirping, the color of a car, or the smell of fresh food in a market. It is through the love of these things, that I have accepted that love is still real and a thing. Sure, what I’m describing isn’t romantic love, but the fact that I can love tells me that I must not be the only one. For if I was the only one, I would be alone in those places. I would be the only one enjoying the smell of food, or watching the birds fly, or stepping upon autumn leaves. Love is real, because I get to share it with those I know and don’t. I can laugh with a stranger in a store. I can write letters to my friends. I can take photos for an elderly couple in a garden. I can share the burden of hurt with a child. Love is real, because I see it and feel it everyday that I wake. And though I still desire for a significant other, another half, I believe that if I were to go anytime soon, I would be satisfied. Love is more than just a person, or what you imagine a person to be, or trying to “manifest” a person. Love is drinking water for yourself. Love is getting enough sleep. Love is buying that game you see on sale. Love is a phone call, a text, the warmth of the sun, the breeze of the wind, the fall of rain, the chill of snow. If you’re still reading this, I must apologize for going on for so long. But I also must say this: don’t be discouraged. Because if you shift your perspective, you’ll find that you already are surrounded by love

Thinking this way is setting yourself up for failure, if a woman is going on a date with you she already likes you enough to say yes so this is already in the positive. We are the same age, this is time to make mistakes, failing is optimal as it helps you to grow, in all aspects of life. let's say the date goes well, that's great, you'll get to know more about her, and more about what you look for as well. But the negative also applies, let's say she has X interest that you don't agree with or you didn't like her mannerisms, or whatever the reason may be why you felt the date didn't go the way you wanted it to, then that is a positive for you to look out for, as you know you don't like those traits.

Guys, 23 year old here, do not date. It is NOT worth it, marriage is NOT worth it. If you want kids adopt or form a contract with someone. Both genders today are so polarized and it isnt worth it. I am friends with a TON of woman, the things i hear and see you would be horrified, the cheating, using, etc etc. i own a business and have a high income i would NEVER risk that with marriage, my state has a high divorce rate and is no fault- meaning if she cheated it cant be used against her in divorce. Guys be yourselves, find your hobbies, be good and kind, you dont need a woman to be happy. I really like this video and its idea but telling young men to try especially where the odds are VASTLY against them is not genuine. I would also like to add marriage does provide some benefits, HOWEVER if you are apart of the 90% something of men paying child support and 83% paying alimony or the men who lose almost everything they have worked for BEFORE they were married is not worth marrying. I was engaged built her up from nothing helped her get back on track in life spent two years helping her get away from a abusive home she ghosted me and i never heard from her again, we were engaged….

In this world of terrible mental health and rising rates of loneliness it's nice to hear that some people are doing ok and it sounds like you're very grateful too. It's just that imo the substance of this video boiled down to, "Yeah I know the dating game is emotionally draining, time consuming and has a very low chance of paying off but uhh, I dunno it worked out for me so just carry on putting up with it I guess." Of course you probably disagree and that's chill. It's just how it came across to me.

[@SumNormy]

[Warning Dangerous levels of yapping] I've been in this dating bubble for awhile. Basically got myself addicted to looking at statistics, diagrams, charts, percentages and whatnot. And all I've learned about this little echo chamber is that; these stats add nothing of value, and I want to bring myself to not care anymore. The fact is: you are not intitled to anyone's time and affection, and no amount of wealth, charisma, hight, strength, or looks will change that. This rigns true if 70% of people aren't looking for a relationship or 10%. So I'm just going to mind my business and let the pieces fall where they may, if I manage to find love then awsome, but if not it's allright -- I can't change people's heart so why get discouraged if they don't share the same feelings? In final note: I suppose I could be more social and follow some advice and activly try and "put myself out there" to increase the odds of finding my significant other and all that good stuff. But I don't know where "there" is. I don't think anyone truly knows. Maybe this "there" isn't a place I would enjoy putting myself out in-- wouldn't that be the plot twist :p

[@balsocker]

There is no point. Unless you won the genetic lottery the odds are literally stacked against you. I suggest find some other fulfillment in life. The juice is not worth the squeeze.

[@azmalguthek4502]

Plenty. My first is that you immediately resorted to making a laundry list of excuses. This is comorbid with most people's pessimism or world views. Stop and ask yourself, are you the only person who works full time, goes to the gym and has friends? No? There's a reason what you're describing doesn't sound like science fiction. Because it's a normal every day scenario. You are not special because you have a job, work out and have friends. You also say "I'm invisible to women," which shows that you don't really understand how courting has worked historically. Regardless of how we feel about it, men typically court women. It's just historically been that way and that likely won't change any time soon. There's been studies time and time again on what makes pairings work and historically it's just been most consistent when men court women. There can be exceptions to the rule but generally speaking that's just how it is. I'm probably between a 4.5-7 looks wise depending on where in my life I was, but even when I wasn't taking care of myself I was able to get into relationships with girls that would have probably been in the 8-9 range. I wasn't rich, didn't come from a good background, wasn't genetically gifted with looks. Because while that stuff helps, it's not mandatory for dating success. In my particular case I enjoy making people laugh and leaned into that. It's scientifically proven women are more attracted to men who can make them laugh or have interesting conversations. You don't have to be a rock star or Mr. Olympia. You also have to take into account that the women you're walking past or are walking past you when you're headed to work or to the gym or whatever might also be in relationships or funnily enough might feel like you do. (Sidenote, don't look for dates at the gym unless the woman comes up to you. Reason is because typically Gyms are just about self-improvement and the encouragement of your peers.) Dating apps are mostly a no-go as you can't trust them. Not only is catfishing a thing, but most of the people using them are shallow or not the kind of people you're going to want to form a committed relationship with. Hook-up culture is antithetical to what will healthily move you forward, and dating apps are garbage for the most part. The internet, especially on KZbin and social media in general, has this cesspool of people who are going to swear up and down that "dating is impossible" or that they're swearing off women or influencer spreading the MGTOW trash, but the reality is they're all quitters with a completely warped perspective on life who are giving in to primitive notions that are not justifiable to anybody with an objective view of things. People, especially younger people, are far too influenced by what they see on the internet. The real world is not what the algorithm feeds you. There's a reason that negativity and "dating is a waste of time" clips go viral and stuff like firefighters saving kittens is nowhere to be seen - the latter doesn't profit off clickbait rage, whilst the former is preying on a group of naïve/desperate/deluded individuals who will end up further sinking themselves into the illogical rabbit hole they're being goaded into diving into. You're going to be okay bro. I promise. Don't listen to the other people who are going to drag you down or be negative around you. And don't let short-term doubts or skewed views of temporary or past experiences stop you from realizing that you have the rest of your life to go.

I was in a relationship before that went along wonderfully for years. It was a long distance relationship, US to UK. The feelings we had for each other and the love we shared was one of the best feelings I've ever felt in my life. Any sadness I felt melted away when talking to her. However, as time went on those feelings began to mute and I became complacent. I pretty much gave up on trying to do anything for her and there were a few times we talked about it and I tried to get better. Was long after that she told me she found a friend and she asked if it would be okay if they dated. Wasn't really my decision to make and I did protest that they could just stay friends since it's a requirement to date to hang out. Regardless they started dating all the while her and I were dating. I didn't think much of it until she demanded that I allow her to talk about their relationship despite it not being of my concern whatsoever. She's never been in a relationship other than with me and it seems he was quite the desperate fella so her trying to force it to work ended up in a lot situations where it was pretty evident I was being pushed out. She stated many times though that she didn't actually care about him. She was using him for the companionship and talked to me way more since I was there for her emotionally and what not. She never lied to me and only to him until I gave her an ultimatum, tell him the truth about her and I still dating and him being cheated on, or I will. She did, but of course they stayed together, like two desperate people would. Wasn't long after that we broke up and stopped talking for a bit. She still cared about me a lot but never thought that maybe giving up on him would've been a good call to save the relationship her and I shared. Clearly she wanted her cake and to eat it as well but that didn't end up working. Despite her ending up being very indifferent to him she ended up having to get married to him when they temporarily moved to the US due to his job. It's 5 years since we broke up but it still hurts down to my core. I made many mistakes but she was there and was very understanding. I don't really see a reason to date after that. I've still not recovered from it and I doubt I ever will. I figure that I'm "damaged goods" and that bringing this emotional baggage to anyone else is solely a detriment. I will keep this to myself because I believe it's the best thing I can do

This is such a true video. A lot of people are obsessed with making money, a lot of these hustlers saying don't focus on women but actually your career and making money. Once you find the right partner that you truly love, and who loves you, money won't matter much, in fact the bare minimum will matter as there's nothing greater than true love. Money and personal success only fulfills you to a certain extent, if at all after a certain point.

[@haydenlanning5674]

Best advice I can give for dating. Go meet people in the real world and don't focus on dating or dating apps. Learn how people operate and learn how to talk to everyone. Be a person someone like you wants to talk to, someone others want to talk to. When someone with mutual interest makes a move, move with them. Whenever you talk to a person, talk to just them. It'll help you work past red flags (your own and theirs). Don't expect anything, but don't deny that things are moving and don't deny flags. When you land in a relationship, focus on understanding your partner and not what you think your partner is, we are not who others see us as, or as we see ourselves as. If in a relationship, remember that compromise is your best friend. You can live your life as you want, only if your life is your own. If in a relationship you think your life is only and always your own, you aren't committed. Commitment is the next stage after compromise. Commitment is the continuation of compromise in a way that is healthy for both parties and mutually/consensually forces growth. "If they will, I will. We do it for us." The easiest step is the first step. You can be with no one or as many people are in front of you. The hardest step is going beyond the initial encounter. Sometimes, it's a text. Sometimes, it's a date. Sometimes, it's sex. Most people these days don't make it. A relationship is a constant dance between two individuals. If you, as a young man or woman, want to succeed at having a relationship, learn to self-love, learn to be social, learn to court a partner (based on merit, culture, religion, expectation, etc.), and learn to sustain those relationships in a healthy and understanding manner.

[@haydenlanning5674]

[@plasmaxl8626]

just a few thoughts: its because of our hyper individualized and capitalistic society that third spaces, where you would naturally meet people and interact with them are all but extinct. So mostly what you have are a few select hobbies and...dating apps. These apps essentially give women infinite options, creating a dynamic where they will never have a reason to commit to anyone, because why would they? its simply more efficient to jump around to whoever can give you "more"... The grass will always be greener. (reminder, this is essentially what men used to be able to do much easier before women had equal rights) To be clear, im not blaming women for this behavior. its simply natural given how the apps are set up to make as much of a profit off of men as possible, using women as the draw to spend money (because women are usually the desired, and men do the desiring- in a very general societal sense). This dynamic basically just further divides everyone in an age where division is the standard, and hyper-individualism is the norm...its easier to sell things to people who are alone and desperate. Also, women in the long term will not be happier because of this. just because they got the better end of the deal with the devil, doesnt mean that *everyone* will be content with having no true human connection The true root of our pain and suffering is the steady erosion of humanity into the homogeneous blob of an accounting spreadsheet, and a culture which prioritizes material gain above human connection.

At the end of last year I became single again after being in a 6 year relationship (18-24) that mostly ended from my own doing. I have moments where I crave romance and intimacy again but it doesn't seem worth it anymore. Dating feels like a job interview not to mention the constant stressful feeling of being in a game of Battleship where you have that back-and-forth game of making sure you're interesting/entertaining enough for her so she doesn't leave you for one of the other guys she probably has on rotation for that same reason. Part of this definitely has to do with my own personal issues, namely severe lack of self confidence, self-love (internally) and other stuff. I know I need to fix it but nothing has ever made sense how to. We get told that women want us guys to approach them but it never seems to turn out that way in practice. How are standards for a partner "the lowest they've ever been" yet feel the complete opposite in real life? I'm at the point where I don't even want to bother looking anymore. I will get much more self fulfillment out of doing shit with my music hobbies and other related things. If I encounter someone along the way and things work out then alright, I'm open to see where it goes. Only problem is that I don't really have hobbies/friend groups that put a person in the company of a lot of single women, but I don't want to put myself in ones that do, especially if I don't find it interesting, also because they usually can sniff out when a guy is doing that (so what's the point even suggesting it?). People at local music shows just go and cling to their one small group of friends and everyone seems super closed off and insular. Women are always with their group of friends ready to tear even a super confident guy to shreds lest he approach and want to chat them up if he thinks one is cute. I see people I know getting into relationships which gives to the added stress factor of time is running out and people are shacking up with someone long term because it's better than being single. It just doesn't seem worth it anymore, maybe it's something to do with Western nation Gen Z women, but then I'd be sounding like a passport bro so who knows. I keep having moments where my brain craves romance and intimacy again but I'm not sure if it's codependency or genuine. Either way, I'm getting to the point where I wish I could internally shut those feelings off so I can just focus on music stuff and beginning to travel more. Those are the only things that with effort I feel some sense of fullfillment from.

[@Noname72105]

Nah. I've just accepted being unlovable. Makes everything less of a struggle. Tried dating a little in college. Didn't work. My work and hobbies provide zero opportunities. Online dating doesn't work if you look anything like me. It's fine. Not ideal, but fine. I'm not entitled to anyone's love or attention. Sure as hell not gonna beg. If I'm a fit for someone, she can damn well find and ask me herself.

I'm mentally ill and stand at 5'6 when I see things like this they just make me feel worse bcuz I know I'll never achieve any of it no woman is going to want a man who can't provide I will never be able to do so it's unfortunate I will miss out on an entire portion of my life when it comes to dating due to something that is of no fault of my own

[@Prutam]

Just curious, have you tried medication?

[@mttrashcan-bg1ro]

The more effort I put in to my social life and dating life, the less I get back, and the worse I feel. Giving absolutely no fucks about it has actually made me feel okay about myself for the first time since I was 13 or so. The dating scene is just complete shit for Millennials and especially Gen Z's and I think it'll probably get worse for Gen Alpha.

[@DeathMetalThrasher]

It will definitely get worse, gen Alpha is having all these unrealistic and ridiculous standards being baked into their existence right out of the womb. There will be a huge disconnect from reality with that generation especially in regards to dating and relationships

[@neirucha]

This is the first time I'm seeing a video like this on my feed, listening, and then just flat out... No? As positive as it may aim to be, it simply just doesn't apply to so many walks of life, as sad as it is, many of us aren't cut out for romance, sometimes it takes away from friends with cost of commitment, and many of us put much more value on friendship, and oftentimes... One can just be unredeemingly unattractive, but even if that much is true, at the very least they can find some way to love themselves

[@depressedowl]

Big advice here, especially for dudes, please focus on your looks. Girls spend hours looking good and the same should apply to us. No one wants somebody overweight, doesn't work out, and doesn't groom. What's good is that there is so much material on KZbin where you can learn a lot of this information. Highly recommend.

[@UserRobot215]

I’m too ugly and short to date. I was never desirable to women and I still am not. I’m almost 27, so the ship has basically sailed for me. Some guys like me are simply too undesirable and were never meant to date or reproduce.

[@somerandomdudeOG]

It's over indeed

[@bowers009]

The ugliest and shortest guys I have ever known all got dates, relationships, and at least a couple had kids. I don't want to be insensitive but unless you have a deformity (and even then you have cases of people dating) you are not 'too ugly' to date. Don't be so hard on yourself, get off any platforms where people are telling you otherwise. You have too much to offer the world to let the incel content online or the insanity of dating apps deter you. Also being 27 has nothing to do with it, if you are still breathing then the ship hasn't sailed my friend! Hope you find happiness.

[@Bill-c1x]

I want to start off by saying that your videos are gold dude. The investing for beginners one was a life changer. This video is one that I find absurd from you. You found your significant other while on vacation in another country. You unknowingly “passportmaxxed”. While you did date in the states you never found your partner. You had to travel to another country to find her. For you to say to not give up dating and to keep wasting precious time and money on it, is insane to me. It’s like telling me to go buy lottery tickets because “you never know” and “things can change at any moment”. I’ll just stick to the idea of working on myself and improving. Attracting NOT chasing. Because, that’s what basically happened to you.

[@whylearntech]

i appreciate the support on my videos. You don't have to agree with everything I say either. I met many great people in the states, it just didn't workout. I wasn't looking to date someone from another country, it just kind of happened naturally as I traveled more. I want everyone to continue to improve themselves, I never said not to do that! I think dating is a great way for people to meet lot of people, better yourself, and find a great person along the way. Like anything else, it's a process to grow and improve. You can disagree, but that's my view

[@Wargodx1337]

Screw dating. I’m not rushing it. I don’t want to feel distracted by “I have to find a partner”. If someone comes along, cool. If not, oh well. Prioritizing myself in the meantime. I don’t have much experience dating as is. It’s an overwhelming subject to me. Stay off the apps as well, that’s mentally draining and a cancer.

Thanks for the video man. I'm trying to stay positive, I've only had one girlfriend in highschool and I finally decided to try dating apps, but literally only had one girl message me for a week and ghost me. That's literally the only match that I have gotten. It seems like such a waste of time. I'm not even focused on it now, I just think it will happen when it happens. It sucks, but I'm trying my best to stay positive about it
