@sardonicsmile Way overdramatic. Most skills mentioned in that post, aren't learned by dating. Making people laugh, being confident, understanding how to behave around others, are things you can learn by having friends.
What world is this where such basic knowledge is seen as the equivalent of being a pro athlete?
Most women don't exactly have refined humor and there are guys who have been in relationships their whole lives, yet never learned how to navigate them.
Just don't be ugly or weak.

This is wrong because women look for a man who has established a career and if a man is to busy dating women to succeed in a career then he will have more difficulty getting a marriage partner then a man who avoids dating women to focus on his career, his fitness, his education his money and then only looks for a woman when he is succesful
But both men lose in the current year because finding a woman makes the man's life worse off in the current year
@shortstories @Based_Accelerationist
We think a man's Value is based on metrics other than looks, because we have been lied to by virtue signaling speech.
We think we are high Value because we are Established, Successful, Assertive, Intellectual, Confident; generic "I am a Man" bullshit.
We think these generic masculine traits are to women, what beauty is to men. Because we have been *lied* to.
@shortstories @Based_Accelerationist
Females are in large part "visual"; if not Moreso; due to Hypergamy and inflated ego. We overlook this because this is "blue pill" thinking and coping.
@sardonicsmile Gotta agree, women who are genuine about dating, ALWAYS prioritize looks. Only women with a ticking biological clock (usually in their 30s) and girls who have been raised to be gold diggers, put career over looks.
Money and success are things women want for themselves, they don't actually love men for what we possess. If they could, they would get rid of the flesh and take only the shiny. Love is a visual medium.
@shortstories That depends on their age and on the male to female ratio. If you're in a city, there's no way the average guy can't get a date. Yeah, you might need a couple buddies and repeated trips to clubs, but eventually you should find an attractive girl that is interested in you, which appears to be OP's goal. You don't need to be a rich chad and the younger the girl, the easier it is. But I'm talking about casual dating. Who's mad enough to think about marriage in the West?
@sardonicsmile This is a sad case for any man trapped in the "need experience to get experience" state. For men like this, the only hope is fake it until you make it. Do not tell women about your lack of experience. That is only going to make things worse.
Ideally, you would not have to do that, but the world we live in is not fair, and women are not the pure, empathetic beings they are made out to be.
The only question to ask is if it is worth the effort for men. Often, the answer is no.
