Don't use free dating sites. Do not. You'd probably get Chlamydia just looking at the screen too hard.

Not gonna PL too hard, but I did eventually find success with online dating after a lot of soul-crushing failure. The trick was to use a reputable site and just be honest as hell. I know a lot of people think "women like confidence" is a PUA meme, but it's true. I wrote my profile in a way I was sure would scare away every woman on the planet. Not because it was creepy or scary, but because I basically just said "here's what I want, if you don't fit the description, fuck off".

Every millennial or younger man is a timid half-person who gets no respect because they command no respect. Women absolutely crave a strong presence in their men. That's all you really need to know.

That's the thing with PUAs -- they aren't wrong. What they do works, but it is a fair bit manipulative.

Men being confident attracts women. Appearances only matter so much (whereas they matter a lot in the other direction). I wouldn't consider myself particularly attractive in large part because I'm overweight, but I never really had a ton of difficulty in finding girls.

I very much just don't give a fuck about the games and am always willing to walk away from a shit deal. Women see confidence, and I don't end up wasting my time.

PUAs are so interesting, though - because they show there's a biological basis to gender and attraction, which flies in the face of everything academia wants you to believe.

Women are just as bad at the manipulation as PUAs are.

True to an extent.

But I think the difference is -- women's manipulative tendencies are part of the biological processes in their brain. It's a survival mechanism above all else.

PUAs aren't operating on a survival instinct - they're essentially taking biology, understanding it, and finding out how they can manipulate it into a desired response.

Worse. PUA is learned. Women just know for birth how to pull those strings.

Women live lies to themselves 24/7 without any external of conscious processes needed. That's why so many of them are anxiety riddled and mentally ill, the cognitive dissonance has taken its toll on them for years.

Definitely. I’ve used ehatmony and met some ladies but you are right. A ton of effort.

Not to encourage you degenerates that can’t meet people at school or work, but eharmony is definitely worth looking at. I know some folks that were successful through it in that they have families now and they’re all kinda cultish about it still.

That’s the one I’ve used. But as I’ve gotten older I have been better about meeting women in real life

What was the quality of people you saw on eHarmony? Won't be dating for a few years yet (school etc) but figured eHarmony would be worth a shot, as far as dating sites go. Assuming they don't make it Tinder-like in the next few years.

I remember me and a friend setting up an account for another friend on Christian Mingle and Plentyoffish and...well, I was surprised at the number of single mom's and women "ready to settle down" we saw on both sites.

What was the "reputable" site? They all seem like trash to me

I'm pretty paranoid when it comes to PLing, so I'll just say it was one of the big ones. All of the top sites that have a subscription fee are good.

Also, pay a-fucking-ttention to the women around you when you're in public. You know that old trope about guys being oblivious when women are hitting on them? You'd be amazed how true it is.

Just don't be stupid and jump in bed with the first Thot you catch making a pass at you, either.
