I would like to meet a woman...

[Angry White Male]

...I would like to know what love is.



My parents did not love me, so this makes things hard....  



What is 'love?'



How can I find a female companion?



Everyone else does...

Everyone else is not an asshole.

You need to get out more Mel, start socialising, that's how most people meet potential girlfriends/boyfriends, through mutual friends or aquaintances.



I wouldn't really recommend online internet dating, it's a minefield.  You can't rely on a photo being an accurate representation of someone, especially with all the snapchat type filters around today which make people look better than they really are. Also there's a LOT of crazies and headcases online, due to many of them not having friends to go out with and meet people in person.



Call me old fashioned, but I prefer the old fashioned way, I like to meet women face to face, at least that way you know what you're letting yourself in for.

A lot do, and I understand why, but I prefer the old fashioned way as I said.

I never tried online dating, because what I was seeing and hearing was it was mostly a sausage party, and that most the ladies that do get on there, are there to use the guys that are on there. Not saying all, but most. Like they use the guy for free dinner, drinks and entertainment, then ditch them, sometimes even meeting a 2nd date that may look better to them for the late night. I've even heard of stories of a woman dumping a dog onto their date, giving a false number, and never hearing anything else from them. Also one woman, tried using her date to get to his backstage concert tickets, that were meant for his niece. Crazy shit. Im sure some men are bad too, but Im hearing so many stories of innocent guys being taken advantage of.



Im with Scouse, I still like the old fashioned way.



Hey Angry, as you might know I was married forever, then became single, coming out of a relationship where I wasnt allowed to have female friends or anything. Not having a clue about meeting a woman or anything I started doing online research lol. Found the thing I had to overcome was Approach Anxiety. The best website I found with the best info was Girlschase.com, there are free articles in there. Mostly it is geared towards being a player to a degree, but still a lot of good info in there.

Depends on what you are looking for. If you are young and want t a no strings attached hook up, the internet is better than the best bars. If you are over forty and looking for a lasting relationship, not so much.

I think you pretty much nailed it lol.

Women are evil..



If everything is going fine, women mess it up because of some stupid reason.

It's nobody's fault, but your own that you are an immature unemployed alcoholic.

I think the most important thing is realize where your underlying negative feelings come from and let it go.  Don't dwindle on what your parents couldn't give you...they did their best while trying to live their own lives.  It's too bad you had to go thru that but now it's your turn and time to live the life you want.



Don't be an asshole.  Don't try to be in power and control.  No woman wants a douche bag.  At our age...and especially since you are a guy looking for a mature woman...they ain't gonna take your shit unless they have serious problems themselves.  You want a good woman? Find one and be nice to her.  Good luck.

I'm shocked how civil this thread remained.  Even though I did post it while drunk, the meaning is nonetheless there...  No Troll.  This is what I mean, when I say that 4Chan is at times better than these two forums in actual usefulness, but not in this case!  In this case, the advice is solid.

[Angry White Male]

I absolutely stay away from any kind of online dating.  Tinkered with it in the past, and it's a quick way to get depressed and discouraged faster than any other form of dating known to man.



I'll touch on that here more in depth...  It IS a complete sausagefest!  Men outnumber women like 10:1, so unless you're Brad Pitt, you're fucked.  When my ex started talking to me a couple years after our divorce (I knew she had a POF profile by then), I asked her about it...  She may be like many other women:  Profile is only set up for an ego-boost, and as a novelty.  She never had any intentions to meet up with any guy, unless he was Brad Pitt, of course!



So, online dating = stay the fuck away, especially if you're male.

I think it's possible to become friends with people online who share common interests and philosophies and find a romantic lead out of it. Possible but probably not very likely.



You should wait for Ai.
