Date: March 14th, 2018 5:06 PM Author: Frisky principal's office i have never been good looking
the biggest issue is i have trouble expressing attraction to women. i have never understood "flirting" or "hitting on" someone and have never done it. i basically interact with everyone in the exact same way -- friendly and professional |

Don't try too hard to be "smooth." Just tell her you think she's hot and go from there. If she rejects you, who fucking cares? You're better batting .100 than 0/0. |

Date: March 14th, 2018 5:49 PM Author: Startled locus honestly, you might want to give OKCupid a shot I know, I know you detest the very idea of dating apps, but IME OKC is better than Tinder for finding more than just a hookup. You can fill out an extensive written profile, answer lifestyle questions that determine match %, indicate prominently that you're exclusively looking for a long-term relationship, that you're Christian and it's very important to you, etc. All of this information is instantly featured on all the women you'll look at. True, the quality of women looks-wise is not as good as Tinder/Bumble, but I don't think you can be too picky at this point. |

Date: March 14th, 2018 6:13 PM Author: Startled locus I mean just look at it as a surefire way of increasing your pool of options tenfold. No one will make you swipe right on chicks you don't like. No one will force you to message or respond to messages. I don't see the downside of at least checking it out. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. It really is different from Tinder/Bumble (again, IME) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3918708&forum_id=2#35606105) |
|
Date: March 14th, 2018 6:26 PM Author: aphrodisiac trailer park Well, not zero risk. Journalists do have their dating profiles found and used for malicious purposes (I was literally told at my last job not to join Tinder for this reason).
Still, point taken. Maybe I'll give it a look.

Date: March 14th, 2018 6:03 PM Author: swashbuckling milky market Sorry bro, you have some similarities to me based on what you've posted in this thread and I can tell you that the outlook for what you desire is very rough. I had it with organic hs gf/wife but divorced. The process to get it back was long and painful but I did eventually have a couple of decent LTRs.
The fundamental problem for you is that most women do not want what you want. In fact, wanting it makes you less desirable in their eyes. Somewhat counterintiutively, that is probably true *even* for the women who have similar goals to you because they will be attracted to high social status.
In my case I could use being better than average looking as a crutch. Got even more jacked, dressed well, etc. That combined with being successful and getting some real confidence (confidence that was actually innate, not the forced PUA kind) put me in a place where I could pointedly tell women that I prefer to keep to myself and not have it be a big deal. If you convey high status in other ways, being anti-social isn't fatal because it is perceived as a choice, but if you look like a slob you're creepy and DONE HERE.
Unfortunately I can also tell you that being aggressive is a requirement. My results got drastically better when I went in with the goal of FUCKING girls rather than hoping that I would have a nice date with some one I liked who also liked me. You gotta FUCK them and then it becomes your option as to where things go, but being nice and hoping they like you and that you go on several dates and form a bond is a path that will get you a lot of "didn't really feel a spark" texts.
I know having someone tell you these things isn't pleasant (nor did I find it pleasant learning them through trial and error), but you'll have to go against your personality in uncomfortable ways to get women. |

How to succeed on the dating market as a woman: Whatever, just show up, guys will fawn over you and no matter what you look or act like you're somebody's fetish.
How to succeed on the dating market as a man: Just do adopt an elaborate false consciousness and never deviate from wearing the mask. |
|
Date: March 15th, 2018 2:01 PM Author: Frisky principal's office this sounds like it might be correct. i have been on a couple of dates that didn't end up going anywhere because i just don't know how to express attraction. the idea of touching someone without explicit permission is very weird to me...i supposed i've always wished the woman would make the first physical move.
|
|
Date: March 15th, 2018 2:29 PM Author: swashbuckling milky market Keep in mind that if the idea of touching someone seems weird, you might be setting up your dates wrong. There are plenty of settings, like a coffee date, where escalating physically feels weird because it WOULD be weird to do so in that situation. Don't have dates like that, because female hamster brains will typically characterize them as "not really any chemistry" even if the date actually went quite well given its setting and constraints. The date needs to be one where you are naturally interacting with her physically to go well. Take this advice from a fellow autist to heart . . . It took a lot of IRL trial and error for me to learn this. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3918708&forum_id=2#35612182) |

the main thing is i think starting a family would be cool in the next 10 years but i don't really see any way for that to happen given my personality and experience. |

Date: March 15th, 2018 2:15 PM Author: Frisky principal's office CharlesXII, i think you and i are very similar. you have said before that you are fairly good in social situations and are not some shut-in aspie neckbeard.
have you also had this similar difficulty with expressing attraction? i'm not religious, but i feel like for some reason i have internalized the idea of sexual attraction as something to be hidden, or something that should be revealed and acted on only in rare, private situations. so flirting and being "physical" with women have always struck me as highly inappropriate and strange, even when i was a kid. i had always noticed some guys doing what i would identify as stupid, cringe-inducing things around women just for their attention, and I looked down on it. i remember noticing when friends would act differently around women. i treated women just like i treated men - friendly, professional, what i would call "normal." but clearly something is wrong with my approach. i feel very similar to Stevens in Remains of the Day. the way that he interacted with Kenton reminds me of my own interactions with girls i've had crushes on before. we have decent friendships and interaction, but i cannot bring myself to elevate those interactions to a more personal level; i wouldn't even know how and would feel like some ass doing anything that i see other people do with their girlfriends/wives/dates etc.
what troubles me is this whole "metoo" movement and anti-harassment movement seems to JUSTIFY my own behavior...as if what i'm doing is actually what society is saying is good and it's those other men who are bad. |

Date: March 15th, 2018 3:24 PM Author: aphrodisiac trailer park I can relate to a lot of this:
Like you, I have a very hard (really, almost impossible) time expressing attraction for others, and I think I also view it as subtly inappropriate to be overly attracted to a person I just met. This is apparently an extremely non-CR attitude to have ('friend zone' and all that) but has proven difficult to overcome. Maybe this is an outgrowth of my religious conservatism but I personally don't think so.
I'm also self-conscious to a high degree and one of my deepest fears is being publicly humiliated. This makes me extremely wary of putting myself "out there" by admitting interest in somebody. Basically, I have every teenage boy's fear of rejection but I never really got over it. This combines badly with my sentiment against expressing attraction quickly, because this means most people I could express an interest in are friends to one degree or another, and so there's a genuine downside to expressing interest and getting rejected.
I can selectively overcome this fear in certain domains or for a short period of time but it's proven very hard to totally abolish. Add to that the #MeToo concerns about getting labeled creepy and it's a toxic mix.
If my goal were solely to find a slut and get laid I could probably start using brute-force methods to overcome this, but that's not my goal, and instead it's pretty rare for me to even meet a woman who I find interesting. |
