The idea of finding a friend first has a lot of merit. If you consider what you know about yourself and what you know about others, one can easily see a lot of people that would not be a good fit.
However, if your a dating site that has a wide range of people, you might find others seeking friendship first rather than just casual fornication partners.
If you can find someone else who also has a friendship first interest, you might find someone who is capable of building something deeper and lasting.
I kind of feel sorry for those that are really attractive. They have a hard time sifting through people to see who really might have depth. Being ugly, I had the advantage of knowing my wife had the ability and compassion to see past the superficial.
I really would like to be friends first. I have never dated and don't even know if I'd like to date, but I have had friends and know that I'd like more. True, good advice!
The app I downloaded isn't a big one, but there seemed to be all kinds of people there. I haven't yet talked with anyone, but I read their profiles.
Very true. I'll keep that in mind.
True. I'd rather have someone who liked my personality. For example, I love dogs and if the other person hated dogs, even if they were Brad Pitt or Britney Spears I couldn't date them. And I want someone whom I can trust and who respects my boundaries and is kind. And a matching sense of humor. And hobbies. It's good that you have a good wife! Too many people run after looks, never considering that looks fade but heart remains.
Thanks for the tips! I appreciate them!
Online dating for men is a lost cause if you are not in the top 10% of looks.
I've heard similar stories yes. I don't actually know what I am looks wise. I'm not the best looking but not the worst looking I think, though I wish I had a smaller nose and none of those "cheek sacks", those fucking cheek sacks make me look ten times older and fatter than I am. Yet I can't do anything about them because it's the fault of my face bones. I wish I could get rid of my insomnia so it wouldn't make me look so tired and unwashed.
Can work for ok-looking neurotypicals with jobs and social lives, I hear.
I've heard it too. My cousin went from a chad-lite to a high tier normie after norwooder attacked, yet he can still find girls to bang easily. His social, though he was really poor and jobless for a long time.
People always tell me that they wouldn't have ever guessed that I have asperger and often they don't even believe that I have asperger, because I'm so kind, polite, considerate, empathic, emotionally intelligent, etc. according to them (which is infuriating, because I've met lots of great and kind and polite aspergers). I literally almost lost a friend when I told her that I have asperger and she refused to believe it, because I'm "too good of a person to have asperger". Brutal aspiepill. :(
I don't have a job, but now during these corolla times, many are jobless, so maybe it's not that big of a deal. Though I will be embarrassed to admit to them that I'm on a disability leave.
On another note, I took several photos of myself and they were all rejected for some reason, even though they were of high quality, and you could clearly see my full face. And I can't take a new photo because my insomnia has made me look like a zombie. Now I won't get any matches just because it won't approve any of my photos. Stupid.
