    Nutrition Journal

    I've never heard of that before but I'll look into it. In the last few months, I've been having much less hair fall out which is great. I suspect it might be a seasonal thing. Where I live now, it gets very humid during summer and that's when my hair loss was at it's worst. Right now, it's...

    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    Quick update, since I haven't been active on here for a while. I've been busy working on other projects so I haven't been dedicating as much time as I'd like to my dating life. So it's definitely slipped back a bit compared to 3 months ago. Tinder has been pretty useless lately. Might need to...

    This is how a soul-mate relationship looks like ...

    I couldn't watch more than a few minutes. Cringe factor was far too high! Good for them though.

    As far as I'm aware, no women have ever "liked" me romantically.

    You really do have to be proactive as the guy. If you're a very good looking guy or if you have a big social circle, you might have girls initiate things for you. Otherwise, you have to take the responsibility. I'd also say, that until you get more experience with women, you probably wouldn't...

    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    I finally took some time to get back onto online dating apps again last weekend. I had a few matches build up during my time away from them so I was able to get a few conversations going and organise a couple of dates quickly. One of them was last night. The other one is tomorrow afternoon...

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    This! There are ****** people wherever you go. It's not just on online dating. Maybe online dating just exposes people more than real life scenarios.

    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    Quick update since I haven't posted for a while. Right now, dating is a much lower priority for me than it was a few months ago. That's simply because I'm spending lots of time on my own business right now..while also trying to juggle full time employment. Business and work are my top two...

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    You can't write off online dating based on 3 dates. That's hardly a big sample size.

    Bender's Journal: Part 2

    DATES Friday night I spent with the girl I've mentioned a lot recently who I'm liking very much. I just have a really good time every time I see her. Unfortunately she lives pretty far from me, but I don't even mind driving out to see her.  Sunday night I met up with the South American girl...

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    That's such a stupid phrase. Everyone is judging a book by it's cover. Whether consciously or subconsciously. Kaetic, yeah I find it a major turnoff when girls don't smile in any of their photos. I can sort of understand guys not smiling to portray a bad boy kind of look. But I still think...

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    Okay, show me how I'm wrong. Post up the photos you used. Cucuboth, I think it's often quite easy to get a sense of how someone thinks or feels based on their photos and profile.

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    That's kinda the point of this thread...everyone is stuck inside so they're using online dating apps a lot more. When I said that you're probably selling yourself short in your profile, that includes both pictures and bio text. Of course it's all in the pictures. You have to use pictures that...

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    Have you tried since quarantine started? And if that's you in your display picture, then it looks like you're not a bad looking guy. You should be getting way more than 2 matches from 2000 swipes. My guess is you're selling yourself short with your profile. Show me the photos you were using and...

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    Yeah, longer distance situations would be tricky. I'm not sure what the best strategy for that would be. It would be difficult not to end up in the friend zone. And unless the she thinks there's a very real possibility you could actually meet up, she's probably going to get bored, even if she...

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    You're a harsh critic real callie! That question gets me a response about 80% of the time and has lead to many dates haha. But yes, there are better opening messages around. I agree with you that the problem isn't women...most of the time. But before jumping to the conclusion that men will...

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    El Jay, yeah it's annoying when someone disappears after you've been talking to them for a while. Did you try to meet up with them in those cases? If not, they might have just felt like you were wasting their time. Are those your stats Xpendable? I'm in Australia as well. What do you think...

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    I don't have a 'secret' and I'm not after $$$ Real Callie is exactly right. If someone goes silent, there was probably too much neediness, clinginess or you got too boring. I have seen online dating conversations from guys who are failing with online dating. And almost always there are obvious...

    UNDERSTANDING NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL CUES I think this is probably one of the biggest things that guys like myself (who are more introverted and struggle to adapt socially at a young age) struggle with. In the past 5-7 years, I've definitely improved a lot with this but I'm far...

    There has never been a better time for online dating

    Not sure how it's a 'an absolute lie.' I didn't use to have much success with online dating. Then I spent some time figuring it out and it got better. Since coronavirus, it's got a lot better!  If you're getting ghosted, you're doing something wrong.
