Online dating in 2007 vs now: what happened?

[Holymanaspen]

I have had more succes on online dating lately by using better photos. I still get matched with other races like Turkish/Morrocan, Asian, Latina (who are on holiday here) and African. Most of them are good looking though. Some fat women once in a while. Not as bad as it used to be where I would only match with fat women.

I matched with a few muslim women as well. This whole idea that (western) muslim women are traditional is BS.

Some cute European women too for sure. I noticed the young girls (18-20) are cut throat. They will reject you quickly if you don't bring your A game.

Still it is very unsatisfying and I tend to stop using it for weeks on end and just live my life. Eventhough I do want to meet women sometimes it feels as if it is a waste of time and not worth it.

I think more people feel like this. On both sides male and female. Feminism makes people less attracted to each other. Both genders. Since you will be disgusted by their weird masculine behaviours and vice versa women will be disgusted with a feminine soy man.\

It's a perfect weapon.

This is exactly it.

It's easy for a man to get casual sex today, but finding a woman you can have any trust in, is the hard part.

Since we're all in agreement about the status quo or trajectory, more or less, what's your take on what happens for the remainder of the decade? Just slow degradation and continued complaining/checking out? I feel like we've beat the dead horse of what's going on and what's worth it (little) from even partnership levels. You'd think someone would bring up more directly, "What's the point of these women making money if they never contribute it, or want to contribute it, to relationships?" It reminds me of the self own that immigrants do. Go to the new materialist paradise, spoil their kids, then complain when the kids marry someone of a different culture, cease speaking the language, and/or don't have kids at all. Great job.

I wonder if arranged marriages ever come back. I guess the answer to my question might be something we all talk about but can barely imagine: are there really going to be that many people dying in the next 10 years or so?

I think 80-90% of the herd will get worse...both men and women.

Most men will get more repressed, mentally imprisoned and soy.

Most women will get overly unrealistic in what they think they deserve from a man.

I personally have hope a small percentage of each will be able to rise above the chaos and be rational.

I'm youngish- just turned 34 so I'm about to go gung ho in turning everything around - face more uncomfortable situations, get tougher, less easy dopamine, really put myself out there again in the world.

I will do this no matter what, no matter how much despondency I see out there. I can't die wondering if I could have had a family if I really got my act together.

This is the way. I was about ready to give up then met someone great at a wedding.

It's at least some fertility for Christianity.

I've certainly heard a number of men say they are going to be very protective of their daughters, in terms of what they get up to with males.

They must leave "the west" and change the game. The game in the west isnt worth playing for any sane man over 30.

Taiwan, China, Vietnam, those are places I am familiar with that are great for men and there are 10,000% more young, attractive, Christian women than in the west that are interested in men over 30. Honestly 10,000% more is likely too low.
