[@brett84c]

Same. Reasonably good looking guy here. Great job. Emotionally intelligent. Fit. Funny. I'd retry dating apps every year thinking maybe this time it would be different and they've all gotten progressively worse with the algorithmic manipulation to try and maximize revenue. I've had many women review my profile and tell me they liked it with most deviations being about little things that are impossible to perfect because there's not everyone is looking for the exact same thing (so my profile reflects what matters most to me and the vibe I'd like to give off to the kind of woman I'm looking for). Honestly, I think the choice inundation she mentioned in the video is the core problem. Cute women get flooded with likes and messages so it becomes super hard to stand out, then people get into this maximization mindset where they want the 6'5"guy with a perfect smile, nice house, perfect personality, and zero baggage... Just got tired of trying to impress all these women I know nothing about just to try and convince them to give me a single date. Also, people are just struggling mentally these days, which makes sustaining a relationship that much harder. I'm not gonna get mad at people for that, just wish they'd get off dating apps and matching with people they seem to have no intention of dating or giving a chance.

I met my husband on a dating app. I felt warmth toward him at first, but not sparks. But I gave him a chance because I felt so comfortable with him, he was sweet, considerate, and as time went by, the sparks came. Chemistry from day 1 is usually not long lasting. Developing a true friendship first was very important to me. I wanted to genuinely like this person. Not just have sparks that blow over.

[@rjflores438]

You must be over the age of 30 or be looking to settle down with a family to say that or looking for some financial provision. If I heard my partner saying that I would be very tempted to end the relationship. No man deep down really wants to be in a relationship with a woman where she doesnt feel genuine desire towards him.

In my perspective, as a woman, chemistry means more than just physical attraction. I have developed feelings for people based on the way they treated me and made me feel when I had zero physical attraction to them prior. Don't know if I lean towards pansexual or not but I've always wondered that because of situations like that.

She may not think men are more picky. but it´s true the society itself is teaching them to be picky. because its more economical , bringing money to companies and television, to think that way and spread a message of glamorous looks. Our brain is programmed esecialy in childhood to think feel certain way, because the subconscious mind is developing at age 0 to 7, as Dr. Bruce Lipton explains. He explains we dont realize our subconscious thoughts and beliefs, because they are 95 percent subconscious, usually inherited in childhood, by observing other people behavior. We are being programmed by society to think certain way, but in adulthood we may change these programs, and come more loving, patient, joyful and gentle and grateful. because or own self, is seeking gentle attitude, from us, so therefore we should also give kindness and harmony to ourselves, which is more important than looks.

​@@alex_flycethat's why first dates are better when they're free. That's not always an option but my first date with my boyfriend was at a really pretty park (my idea). Personally I think the whole "who should pay?" issue just makes both people uncomfortable so why not just not make it an issue at all? And if you ask a woman on a free date and she declines, well you already know that she wasn't agreeing to a date for the right reasons and you can be the one who ghosts. Obviously unless you're asking her to come over to your apartment where you live alone. No one in their right mind would agree to that.

Also B). they would make things unnecessarily complicated to see if i would chase them through the complications. As a person that was in a 10 year relationship i really have no desire to play games or chase the gazelle. i know who i am. Eventually i got to the point where i decided i will match with women and wait for them to message first. Going on 4 years with over 150 matches and not one has messaged first. Nah i'm good. its obvious this isn't a 2-way street. it's a 1-way alley with debris in it. it also pisses them off when you match and then you don't message first. most will un-match within 2 weeks. it's pretty hilarious to be honest.

There are 2 girls that I used to work with, from different stores. Over 2 years ago for both. One of them I didn't look twice at until I eventually got to know because we applied for the same position, and quickly developed a big crush. Not my standard type, but her laugh, her eyes, her personality were just IT. The 2nd girl, more attractive in a unique way, I spent a lot more time with on the job. I made her laugh, she made me laugh. I loved working with her, but the crush with her developed more slowly, maybe over 3-4 months. I saw her cry, I saw her really happy. Both of these women were in long term relationships at the time and still are, with the latter one now married. I still think of these women til this day, the feelings are still there. I would never cross the line though. They never knew I liked them, and they never will. Both these women didn't seem much to me at the start, but I developed a crush the longer I was with them, and by the end of my time working with each, I without a doubt would have dated them if available. But at first glance, I wouldn't have chosen either.

Because she says that when she goes on a date "it's not like in the movie when the conversation rolls and the guy is always funny etc etc"... She's 28 now, she's been single for a few years and she wonders why she can't find a "perfect guy"

[@williamquigley852]

I've started to realize that most of what gets said in these KZbin videos is bullshit. I have dated over 40 years. Gone out with several thousand woman. I hang out with guys who also have gone out with thousands of women over decades. I have never come across a women, or heard second hand of a women, who decided not to date a tall, good looking, wealthy, funny, outgoing, educated single guy because he happens to stack boxes on top of his cupboard. My point is that if the story of the woman who decided not to date a guy because he stacks boxes on cupboard is true (I suspect its not) then the real reason is because he was not rich and attractive. That is the reason she passed on the guy. Women for some reason, perhaps shame or woke'ism, feel compelled to invent inane reasons for passing on a guy rather than just admit they are shallow and simply want a rich handsome guy.

Womans pov here. I get matches, have been on loads of dates but OLD has caused me so much trauma I've decided to delete and never go there again. I've dated good looking guys with good careers, most of which turned out to be married cheats. I've also given less attractive men with not much to offer a chance and they were all either mentally unhinged or so sex deprived they all tried to tear my clothes off on a first date. Most men never get a 1st date and I block them because the messages turn sexual almost immediately. Way too dangerous emotionally and physically for women.

[@fuzzypanda1684]

The biggest problem with dating is that women look for any reason not to date a guy and can choose who they're with. Meanwhile, guys have to look for any reason TO date a girl and have little choice in who they date. Reports on dating apps indicate that both men and women are experiencing burnout. But it's for very different reasons. Women are tired of opening the app and having to sift through dozens of matches and messages. But men are tired of opening the app and having no new matches and no replies. It's abundance vs scarcity in its purest form.

[@TheSocratesofAthens]

It seems that many are victims of their own expectations.

[@swirvfly]

she keeps saying “people” and not pinpointing who’s causing the problems. it’s “WOMEN” who choose to go on dates just because or decide not to go on a second date because there’s no “spark.” why would i man (the person expected to pay for the first few encounters) waste money ‘just because’? she’s continuously letting women off the hook (no surprise) by trying to lump men in the behavioral problems with dating. this problem will never change if we don’t acknowledge who the main perpetrators are.

[@mgrahamization]

Come on. Both are as bad as each other on the apps. I know lots of my good female friends have dated guys that have said they are interested in relationships then lied just to smash. And by no means are these 10/10 guys. Ive seen pics of them. All my female friends have asked for is the guy to be honest. If they are out to smash, say so. But there is dishonesty in men as as well. Plenty of married men or men in relationships on there too. So.... lets not make out this is all women that are problematic.

I read Gottlieb's book on marriage and settling, and it was incredibly harmful to me. I am 100% subscribing to the idea of having a bigger-meshed filter when dating or swiping or whatever, but as a 37-year old woman who has been married for 6 years and is divorced and who has had the maddest of childhood trauma that she's working through - Gottlieb's banging on about how woman my age are "worthless" in the dating market was so freaking SHIT to my mental health, made me feel awful and ugly and old and digusting for months. It took two men I was (am) dating in the past half year to tell me thst this kind of drivle is BS and although they're 30 and 34 and could have picked a younger woman, they never saw me as less attractive or desirable. In fact, quite the opposite. --- As far as I know, Gottlieb herself is chronically single, so I wouldn't trust her advice if anybody was giving me a millions dollars for taking it.

[@netsherrera7193]

Are those couple of guys really attractive to younger women? If they could really get a younger woman, do you think they would seriously choose you? 90% of men know very well the feeling you're talking about, but not at 37, but since weare 17. Reality is not about the way "we feel", is about the way things are.

[@grubbyarmadillo9863]

Thank you for saying this, sis. Sure, some relationships have big age gaps, but that doesn't mean you are worthless in this age group or that age group. This type of perspective on the age gap really makes dating a lot more confusing in a way that puts anyone off. Sure, some girls my age (I'll be 26 this May) usually look for guys that are older than men, but not all. Same case for men looking for women. It really just comes down to who you can really have a good time, regardless of age. Also, I'm sorry for you had to go through a traumatic childhood. I can relate to that.

[@Amoki86]

^^^ This. The moment she mentioned she gets the "ick" when men did not want to pay during the date in this interview, it's a sign she has her own sets of issues. Icks are uncontrolled "gut reactions" stem from unprocessed trauma stored in the body. Secured people don't get "icks", they can legitimate articulate why a relationship will not work out and what does not fit the life they want.

[@DrivingPeter]

The real reason you felt this way isnt because you heard someone say it. Its because you are experiencing first hand that the male attention you used to have is fading away and that by now your chances of finding the man you believe you deserve are slim to none. I feel zero sympathy for women who thought they would ride the carousel forever. Women’s value to men are in the younger years when they are the most physical attractive, while men when they are older when they’ve gained experience and resources. Thats the game.

[@rjflores438]

Women your age are not "worthless" byt women in their 20s have more power in the datinflg marketplace because by and large they are more physically attractive and at the peak of their beauty and fertility.

[@Jackripster69]

Im of a vintage well before dating apps and social media but let me tell you, i did be very happy with Jam i chose. First id scan to make sure im getting 100% Jam and not trans jam or something cheap and nasty. Then ill look for the best value, i don't want to pay top dollar for jam that only has appealing packaging. Before long you don't care about the packaging, you care about the content. Even if it takes me 3 or 4 attempts to find the right tasting jam for my tastes i wouldn't regret the decision. Its not like im so hard to please i need to wonder what all the Jams are like. Once ive found my jam that's it, no need to even look at other jams unless it goes out of production. Also from limited experience with apps, they seem pure numbers game even for women. For men it more so in just getting the match, for women its about getting to the coffee or first date. In both scenarios its beneficial to men and women to display pics of when they were younger and/ or paint themselves in an unrealistic light. People can grow an early attachment just from pics and chat and a percentage will look past the fact in real life they would've swiped left. A numbers game to get better than your real market value, and even if all that works its likely to fail because its largely built of perceptions of superficial people. Fact is i do the opposite, im in a reasonably financially strong position and but i refuse to post pics overseas, in suits, dressed up or with expensive item. I want the superficial people to swipe left. If it means no matches so be it, id rather than the complications that would come otherwise.

Ironically it's always a woman scientist in 23-24 talking about it with some kind of authority like this when men have been talking about it since 16 and actually appear to have stopped.
