Then there's no interest. He's not saying every woman you are friends with is going to want you, eventually. There's no cheat code for dating that gets you every woman every time!

They get mad because they want a cheat code. They want dating to be as easy as pushing a button to make a woman love them. Anything beyond that and they will just complain that it's too much work. Your strategy has never worked out for me, but that doesn't mean it isn't the best strategy. While a woman has never found me good enough to date, I am not lonely, because I have friends.

In my experience, it's because they can't look away from their phone screens or they might die!

Men who love with all their heart get taken advantage of all the time, or aren't appreciated. So, they've learned to only give their love to people that deserve it like friends, family, or their pets.

I can't blame people for looking for something better, though!

The party that says the left is too emotional...

Who needs CGI!?

My hope disappeared in my 30s. I'm actually finding more hope as I'm about to turn 40. Hope for different things than I hope for in my 20s and 30s, but still, I have some hope now.

Depends on how you define "win". I'm happy by myself, I'm happy when I don't try and just live a life full of friends and fun. I think I won by not playing the game.

I'm just lucky that my jobs have always had a sales team to get us clients. And they are knowledgable enough to convince their clients that AI footage turns off most people, especially in advertising.

I'm American and I don't find that offensive. He hit the nail on the head. Americans used to have a backbone, but the generation that fought in WWII has mostly died off.

Best advice I got was to stop!

Thanks!

Seriously, why should we have to go out of our way to be courteous to people who have no self-awareness or respect for others?

Yeah, I can speculate about what it might have been, too. I posted here hoping that there was someone there that would know what actually happened.

You're taking this way too seriously!

This happenes to me a lot in grocery stores when I'm trying to get past someone.

There was a big fan at the entrance, and the firefighters were standing at the entrance to stop anyone from coming in.

I don't mind slow walkers for the most part. It's the ones that randomly stop, back up, or wander around without looking so they become a kinetic obstacle!

For me, it's because I have a very particular type that I'm attracted to, and I just haven't met the right person, despite looking for the last 14 years. I spent a lot of time working on my mental health and my financial freedom to get me to a place where I am independent and happy. It's going to take one Hell of a woman to make me consider being in a relationship.
