If women ever wonder why a few men are very direct about their intentions, it is to dispense with that long march to nowhereville. cannot say I blame them tbh
Yes, I agree.. And this is why I am very direct...

Sometimes I really wish I could go back to Jr High/High School with the knowledge I have about women/dating today. I would save myself alot of grief and frustration,that's for sure. Of course there are other reasons I want to go back in time but thats a topic for another discussion. Am I the only one who wishes there was a rewind button on life?IP: Logged |

Are you trying to say I don't appreciate women? Well you are probably right on that one... In all honesty I can't really think of many good things to say about women "OF MY GENERATION" as a whole. Granted there are a few good ones I have met here and there, but they are few and far between.

If only that were true, and here is where things are fuzzy with that template It begins with "..if only I X..then she would like me" This was the core of Elliot Roger's disassociation from reality began, that sort of self actualized programming is a quaint memory in the days of Tinder. Other issue is in a culture of false self esteem the crashes into the mtn side required to both realize 'I'm fine with me' and "wow, she really does like me for me' is becoming increasing rare.

Not really. I steer clear of people I actually dislike outright, and have learned the difference between disliking someone's opinion about something, as opposed to disliking them as a human being. I see us all as being so very human. I can dislike a behavior. I can disagree with an opinion. I've learned that it doesn't mean that I have to dislike the human being. Occasionally (as mostly occurs with my mother in-law and my own mother) I can actually dislike them as people. Other women (and men) I can really dislike, but they're not a part of my son's life, and although it may require some thought, I often come to the conclusion that my interactions with them create more harm for me than good, and I leave quietly. If pressed, I either remain quiet, or I respond bluntly if sufficiently irritated. Saturn in 11th, at your service. IP: Logged |

Why would you want to change who you are? Yeah, I mean there are some horrible things that I wish never happened to me, but I know if I didn't go through them I wouldn't be half the successful and resilient person I am. Same goes for you- it's never a good feeling to struggle with dating, but I honestly feel part of your life lesson is working towards finding successful relationships that you crave. The things you have gone through, understandably frustrating, will only make you and your future relationships more meaningful. First step is to work towards appreciating women. No, you don't have to worship them or become a "nice guy," but rather put down your defenses and be willing to see that not all women in this generation are bad. Let go of the hurt and anger from the past and change the energy you project. So obviously I'm not your favorite person here, but I wouldn't saying this if I didn't care or felt you weren't capable of making someone very happy someday. More importantly, you deserve to be happy so allow yourself to be and I promise you your experiences with women and dating will change. I may give you a lot of crap but really it's because it's hard to see someone with so much potential self-destruct. I want you to succeed, and know that deep down inside you don't believe everything you post. P.S. Unrelated, but you wouldn't happen to have a Taurus moon, would you?

One thing that always bugs me about these discussions is the majority of the criticism is always focused on the dating challenged man. We are perceived as having tons of flaws and having unrealistic standards etc. but what people don't want to discuss is the fact that many women price themselves out of the market because they have an unrealistically high opinion of themselves and their attractiveness.. For example Padre is always telling me to "be interesting" and "have hobbies" as if I am not interesting and have hobbies already. But what he fails to realize is the fact that I get rejected by plain and boring women... So is all the onus on men to be interesting and attractive now? Because sometimes it sure seems that way... Granted I am all for self improvement but are men the only ones who need to improve? Or am I just imagining all the boring and conventionally unattractive women out there?IP: Logged |

Can we trade our Mars signs? I do not like my Taurus mars! That Sag/Leo/Aries combo is pretty awesome though. Lilith and Pluto aspects are a double-edged sword. Trust me, it ain't all sunshine and daisies at times. IP: Logged |

Think about that for a moment, so Ms Boring and Unattractive, makes herself interesting, she becomes a pilates fanatic, picks up Philosophy and repairs old folks homes on weekends..at the end of the day..she rejected you when she was boring and unattractive, but NOW, she somehow will find you endlessly interesting? *** for tat, one also did say one is very direct, saves time, that does come at a cost of rejection. sub "hobbies' for passions, and being interesting is never a bad thing. For example, would it surprise you if I speak to 'boring, unattractive women' the same way I speak to women you'd consider 'hawt'? there is a saying in the Red Pill "women want men who just get it" IP: Logged |

I agree if you are only talking about the Pluto in Sag generation. Seems to be the blatantly prevalent in this population. Not a completely bad thing though.... IP: Logged |

That's not what I was saying at all........ I treat everyone with respect and try to be friendly and civil with everyone. My point is all the criticism always gets placed on the guys and you are proving that right now... You assume that I only go after "hawt" girls.. The reality is I'm nowhere near as picky as most guys.. The only dealbreaker for me is obesity... If a woman is not obese and tries to look nice chances are I will find her attractive enough to date and then its a matter of personality and mutual interests etc.IP: Logged |

Here is my disconnect w/you, I've said I "was' you in a sense. Jr high in FL (if you think this time is debauched, should have seen the go-go more blow gen in the 80's) and moving from that to NC's Mtn's and an utterly different culture. No dates in HS or Jr High The Universe, or God if one will, used that as a time of refining, lifted weights, studied and read, won awards..that ironically never showed up to receive.

Lol you don't want to see my chart- only the insane can handle it! I'm sure Pluto in 8th probably intensifies the way people percieve you as well. I have vertex and Juno in 8th, always wanted a planet in that house. Edit: also have a major 1st house stellium, I'm a very complicated person to understand. IP: Logged | |
