    What are ya wasting yer time on tinder for, run on the beach when there's some women around and impress em with your go-getting approach to physical fitness and shapely calves!! You're not sportmaxing at all at all. Talk to garrix he'll help you leverage your rungame and get tanmaxing going forward.



    I keep confusing the PUA/game lingo with bullsh1t business speak. I have no game, brah

    WTF is a manosphere forum
    You really don't wanna know TW.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    I'd just like to add 90 % of the women don't actually look like their enhanced pictures too, maybe that's where the ego is coming from, they actually start believing the photoshop and think they should be chased etc.

    Yeah I say so. Airbrushed to the max, pure deception.

    Erm, if you sign up for tinder or online dating and go swiping or messaging then you're choosing to "chase" them, who's forcing you?

    By enhanced pictures are you talking about deceiving you with makeup? We already did that one :)

    Very true ive seen fat,balding old men being treated like a demigod over there,I'm sure money is a big factor ,often when the money runs out they join the pattaya skydiving club.

    In reality these girls are victims of soicety, the selfie obsessed, narcissistic era we live in.

    I'm forming an opinion as to why you're unsuccessful on Tinder.

    And it has nothing to do with the girls being 'victims' of anything.

    Everyone uses a good pic of themselves for online dating, I wouldn't get too many interested ladies if I posted a pic one of the lads took of me locked, naked and asleep on a pool table. Can't imagine many woman or men use photoshop to enhance their pics

    It's actually unbelievable how bad it's got though amongst women. I'm sure there's men out there too who do the same, but it's gotten ridiculous with girls. Take one look down you're facebook timeline and you're bound to see it.

    I'm sure we've all met or know that one person who looks absolutely nothing like their facebook and tinder profiles but bombards us with new selfies every other day.

    I dunno, it might show you're fun? I am physically trying to stop myself from making jokes about the size of your cue and balls

    Photoshop? Nope, not having that. Whatever about some Instagram filter or whatever but Photoshop, nope. As I said, we all for the most part use the better looking pics for FB profile pics, online dating, etc

    I knew a guy who did a psycho mantis on it and plugged it into the other port. He didn't win and he ended up with a black eye.

    There's choosing good photos of yourself and then there's changing you're entire identity. The usual tricks, take pictures at certain angles to hide certain things etc.. It's all too fake for me, just be yourself that's all I'm saying.

    Everyone should be doing everything they can to reach the magical 8/10 category('looksmaxing), that's where you are mixing it with the big boys

    The big boys who rely on their looks are normally too self absorbed to commit to any relationship other than the one with their mirror.

    And 'looksmaxing'? Really?

    Airbrush!? These are regular men and women not fecking super models on the cover of Vogue

    I think people confuse eloquence and opinion with intelligence, and that's why they not only get drawn to these systems of thinking, but invest in them personally.

    In my experience the guys who buy these books, read these forums and form opinions about society informed by these sites are generally socially and romantically unsuccessful, resentful towards women, and have issues with feelings of thwarted entitlement.

    Well adjusted men who have all kinds of good relationships with women - not just romantic or sexual relationships, but good sibling relationships with their sisters, healthy relationships with their mothers, and comfortable friendships with women, are not the audience for sites like those.

    Filters, airburshing whatever the hell you want to call it, they're all the same thing. It's deception plain and simple.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 898 ✭✭✭petrolcan


    I tried online dating once, messaged a few lasses but nothing came of it. The impression I got about online dating is a lot of the women just seem to be looking for an ego boost.

    I tried online dating once. After a few messages we were chatting for a while.

    She went quiet when I emailed her at her work address that she'd never given me.

    Damn you google!

    Don't forget the make up.

    Sure without it they'd probably only be as attractive as you. So why are they rejecting you, eh? It's not like they're all that.


    Clue: Maybe they feel they have more going for them than just their looks.

    Not really...I've a scar on my face (nearly gone)...which gives me a lazy eye when I'm tired and I sure as fcuk don't make it noticeable on me photos....don't want anyone thinking I'm simple...me face is bad enough...not lying...just ommitting

    Yes this
    Plus the element of being told what you want to hear works on everyone. How much better to hear "yes, it women's fault they refuse to do what you want" than to hear "maybe you're doing something wrong"

    Some of the better known posters i would say have had too much experience with women,It poses a lot of difficult questions and uncomfortable truths...not for the faint hearted

    I've met a few from tinder over the years where I've been off and on it. I'm not for one minute saying every girl is at it. Like I said though, a very large percentage have the photoshop game on lockdown, masters of deception. I'm sorry to offend you if you fall into that catogery, nothing personal.

    Let's be honest Tinder is full of attention seeking sluts, Men and Women, it's highly unlikely you'll find the love of your life on it imo.
