Yep I’m never doing online dating again. Totally not something I want as part of my life.

  What sort of mating strategy are you optimizing for?
  • antisthenes 2y ago
    Women are optimizing 80% of men out of the gene pool. What the men do is irrelevant.

    I imagine it would be spontaneous interaction in places of interest or leisure.

      The third space.

    Not everything needs to be optimised.

    I’m looking to emulate the mating strategy of a preying mantis. Please just eat me after we’re done doing the dirty.

    OP wrote "dating" but you replied with "mating." Why?
    • laurels-marts 2y ago
      Is there a meaningful difference?

  The thought of setting up and paying for tinder again makes me scream internally. Even sadder is that most sex in my life was indeed through paid tinder subscriptions and almost all sex through dating apps. It's too easy for women to simply launch the app, upload the photos they already have from FB and IG, then start swiping with very high match ratio. It's too tempting even from sheer boredom and vanity. Real life chat and pickup will bring you only frustration and sometimes even problems. There are numerous male on female incidents of pushiness and violence and you will be immediately associated with them. It's impossible to succeed if all initiative is on you and you're ruthlessly judged by every gesture, word, sentence, verbal proposal, appearance detail. Delegate all these to an app even if success ratio is only 0.1% or so.
