I tried online dating for a while. Now I don’t deny it can be rough for women with dirty comments but in the sense of opportunity an average looking woman will get a ton of messages. I could send like 100 messages and be lucky to get 5 responses.
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.
