We're obviously hitting the periodic mother-lode of misogyny, incel-driven lust and cod-psychology.

ETA - oh, and full-on cringe.

There's certainly some bitterness in evidence

Absolutely. Why are men who have such low opinions of women so keen to spend time with them? "Dump-Truck"? Really?

Thank you all for the advice, Seems I'm on the right track and will keep plugging away. I'm fortunate to be in the top 15% being over 6foot so hopefully that will work in my favour smile

Not looking to get in to anything serious straight away having been in the same relationship since I was 16 I feel I want to experience the dating scene a bit first.

I take on board the comments regarding the whole market being bias towards women but hopefully I'll get some meaningful interest soon.

Until then I'll get the photographer booked for a profile shoot smile

Gave up on tinder. Matches but they are just not working out at all.
Started on another one Badoo.

Chatting to a polish girl that’s keen to meet tomorrow, I’m thinking about it.
Thinking about it because also chatting to another girl, lives about 20 miles away. She was on the phone to me last night for about 2 hrs chatting and laughing.
Definitely on the same wave length for humour etc.
similar interests she wants to do with me.
planning to meet and all going well spend the day together.
Either Friday or Saturday.

See how that goes.

you totally misunderstood what i wrote. Women have power over men, and they wield it. The issue here is not (wholly) women - it is men. We don't respect ourselves and we chase after anything with a pulse. Unattractive/overweight women get a lot of attention, still. Why is this? Why do we think that even average looking women can now make a career out of OnlyFans? Men need to change their approach to women because at the minute we hand them a lot of power over us, and it is used against us. We fail to spot bad relationships, fail to act upon it when we do, and then we lose all our money in divorce settlements because of this. We only have ourselves to blame.

2cv you are spot on with most of what you say also agree that a lot of the issue lay at the feet of men that think with their dick. Until that changes nothing new will change. As for the incel comment above classic use of using insults over debating the point raised ironically that is exactly how women debate.

You just can't help yourself, can you? Generalising misogyny: 'that is how women debate...' Really? You need to look for the better ones if that's all you've experienced.

But men have always chased women and always will - it's a numbers game, how many options can I create to increase my chance of being 'chosen'.
Women have always been the chooser of their potential suitors and always will - again a numbers game, what's the option pool I can pick from.
It's hard-wired into our biology - as sophisticated as we all think we are, humans are still shaved apes deep down in the lizard brain.
Anyone / any man who doesn't understand this dynamic doesn't understand the basics of 'human courtship'. It's all a bit of a life game.

Misogyny is the hatred of women not much in the way of hatred in the comments you replied to, infact the comments were laying the door at men for the problems not women. Just shows you are only interested in the way people say things over what they actually mean.

2cv raised a lot of good points yet you replied using Insults.

I haven't insulted anyone, but on that note I'll leave you to it.

Why not post up some of your amusing dating tales?

Why are men so obsessed with the way a woman looks all the time? Unattractive/overweight or average-looking women? Do they not deserve to find a partner in the way unattractive/overweight or average-looking men? You do realise that people who spend time together actually only spend a relatively low percentage of time having sex and the rest of the time they share interests and enjoy each other's company? Attractive, slim and 10/10 looks-wise women are just as likely (if not more so) to not make a good partner in the same way as chiselled-features, gym-obsessed 6'2" tall men.

Haven’t got much to add - but on the Sunday of the Bank Holiday I met 2 lovely lesbians (both previously married to men, both have kids) - roll forwards to last night and a bbq at mine followed by a very fun night. Hoping to repeat this weekend as they’re coming down for a weekend on the boat.

With regards to everything above I’ve found of you treat women with respect, show an interest in them and their hobbies, make some gentlemanly gestures and it all goes a long way.
