Minimum dating standards

yeah, i see you are wonderful conversationalist, aggressive the second someone does not agree with you. keep up the good job, women love that!
Lol, "I'm not trying to be an asshole, but here's me being an asshole."
"What?! How dare you be an asshole back to moi?!"
Thanks for your lack of input, your services are no longer needed.

Height is definitely a factor, just go on Tinder lol, used to be that a lot of girls bios would say if you're under 180, don't even try, now they can just use the filter. Not sure about the other 2.
Dating apps tend to fill up with undatable people over time. If you see a lot of girls that like theme park rides come with a "you must be at least this tall" sign thats maybe an omen and portent not to engage.
If you do want to date somebody like that you can also just lie. Its not like most girls will pull out a tape measure and check.

I just swiped left on those. But it doesn't change the fact that people have standards and one of the standards women have for men is height. It's not entirely one way though, men are often superficial on looks too.

you should be happy they raise their red flag so clearly so you can avoid them...
Oh definitely, they go left real quick along with all the ones that say their man should be able to afford a lot of upkeep lol
Doesn't change the fact that men are often judged by height as far as first impressions are concerned. And first impressions are hard to change.
There's even a correlation between male height and income because tall men seem (or are) more confident so they get promoted to leadership roles more easily. Apparently the same might be true for women too, but a lot of the studies focus on men.

Probably subsequent to a secondary location.
I believe second place is supposed to be where you work.

Those aren't "standards" though, those are novelties. I've only met one person IRL that had the kind of extreme trait preferences like you're talking about and she absolutely is not somebody who gets dates.

Well at least it's in metric.

Actually this is wrong, you should be 100,000 feet tall, make 6 dollars a year, have 100,000-pack abs and have 6 hairs on your head.

Guy I know who is single: "You need to be literally perfect! Tons of money, super athletic, cultured, brilliant, speaking six different languages! It's impossible!"
Girl I know who is single: "Fuck me, I hope this next guy I'm seeing isn't married, can cover his side of the check, and remembered to wash his ass. Although, at this point, two out of three isn't bad."
Guys forget that what's inside their head is far more important

Well so far nobody has given advice related to the actual question, just vague platitudes mostly, like "make friends." "Ok, where they at?" Silence. I don't have problems talking with people, I have problems finding people my age that are looking to chat in person. Again, once I find them, I'm off to the races, but where are they? Nobody wants to just chat anywhere I currently go, so where are these chatty cathys?
That was years ago, I was a young man who has never been "asked out" outright before or since, of course the humorous anecdote included me fumbling it. You sound like you think know a lot about me from one story a decade old, what are you Google Analytics or something?
wrote last edited by [email protected]so i am in the same boat as you. but here is my plan. any good comic book store/board game place has meet ups. my plan is that if you have a combined goal, such as a board game, you can ignore any tension and awkwardness, and focus on fun!
now one, i have had this plan for a wile and still have issues acting on it.
two, my family a has informed me that women to not go to board game parlors. though they tell me i have to go to church to find love… and that’s a hefty no. but once i get through some stuff i might be acceptable dateing material -
Gotta make friends before dating. Having no friends is a big red flag.
I do get a bit tired of
"There are no third spaces! I can't meet anyone! Nobody will love me!"
"Have you tried leaving the house?"
"That's literally impossible."

The top of this thread was me suggesting meetups. Like meetup.com is still around. I think facebook has a competitor, but I don't use facebook. There are other local groups, but those are local and I can't point you to any unless you happen to live in new york city.

This is good wisdom. I hadn't thought about it before, but most of my relationships that worked out were from people who had just recently installed the app.

Huh, are you my brother or something? Family says same, I say she'll figure out I'm not religious pretty fast lmao.

Never heard of meetup.com, are they privacy invasive? I too do not use facebook or any of that mess (see my previous question haha).
As to your local groups, do you remember how you found any of them? While I may be in a different locale it's possible the same or similar discovery techniques will work for my area.

wrote last edited by [email protected]may need to hit multiple stores. if your favorite hang out isn’t promoting their game nights in meet up and such, they are losing out on a valuable marketing possibility. i can only hope that more women see it as a possibility, now that d&d streaming is getting more popular.
also biking is a terrible place to try, everyone’s too busy breathing to talk
buti look in the meetup app for things… too bad it’s a “professional ladder climbing” and “timeshare/market share/pyrmid scheme” app nowadays…
