I have no doubt in my mind that she is the one (ugh, this sounds so mushy). This is a pathetic generalization of American women. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By OregonShooter: This is a pathetic generalization of American women. When referencing Millennials and/or Zoomers, it's really not. The dating scene is a toxic mess. It isn't 2001 anymore. Originally Posted By DDiggler: I'm curious, are you in the dating scene right now? In the past few years?

I remember dating women as early as 2009, and it was NEVER even close to being as bad as it is now. Tinder absolutely NUKED the dating scene. Both sexes are to blame here, as well (*i.e."auto-right swipe" apps for dudes). |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DDiggler: I'm curious, are you in the dating scene right now? In the past few years? What's your life circumstance that gives you this insight to the current state of dating right now? Got married in 2013 at age 29. People on this very website were saying the same shit back then. It's a coping mechanism for one's personal failure to find a mate. I used online dating and random chicks that my roommates set me up with from 2007-2011. Back then it was match.com, ok-cupid, and plenty of fish. Which was stocked with plenty of slutty nutbags at the time. Went on many first dates with women that didn't match thier pictures or thier personality was not what was described online. No big deal just move along. Met some interesting people as well. Met my wife at a celebration for a mutual friend that was returning from a tour in Iraq. Same shit different year. If you cannot find a mate maybe you should take an honest look at yourself and change your expectations or practice some self improvement to get you into the dating circles you want to be in. Dating is competitive for both sexes. Everyone wants the best that they can get. |

However, there have been fairly significant changes to America's social, cultural, and political climates over the past 12-15 years (I don't know when you started dating your wife). Things aren't the same. |

I’m 39 and I’ll say that dating these days is not the same as it was 10-15 years ago. I thought I could find a nice conservative girl on a religious dating app, but I’ve been on one since June and haven’t had much luck. Like someone said earlier in the thread, its a shit show. |

Ice cream is quick meet and greet. Dinner is a date. Or maybe it depends on the time of day. I guess at 2pm to 4pm it could be considered a "date". But if this is 6pm to 8pm I would prefer dinner. Especially, if we are going to hook up afterwards. Can't spend the rest of the evening having raunchy sex with just ice-cream in the tank...

Al Gore hadn’t yet invented the internet when I was dating, so I met my women in person in the course of day-to-day life.
All my first dates were doing things that I would be doing whether my potential date agreed to go along or not. It wasn’t about them, it was about finding out their reaction and willingness to sample a part of my normal everyday life. If they were compatible/accepting of/enjoyed being with me while doing things that I was going to have to/might be doing for the rest of my life and career, then we could maybe move on from there. The ones that really acted like they enjoyed being with me, I would figure out what their interests were and try to have a follow-up date or two catering to their interests. The ones who were mutually compatible moved to the next level until we found the breaking point. The ones who weren’t I didn’t waste any more of either of our time on. The cream seemed to soon rise to the top with this approach. If I found myself single today, I wouldn’t change my approach. I still meet enough women in person to apply the same principles. I would avoid internet dating. |
