Nah, whatever problem we're having now, will be solved by something in the future.
Tinder is one of those societally short term problems where new technology made things a bit worse before it got better.
E-dating as an idea = good idea
Tinder evolution of e-dating = weird hellscape that doesn't work with normal human sensibilities also compounded by the companies that own it having negative incentive to actually have a solution that pairs people up long term.
I always find it hilarious that zoomies think people just stop doing things when they get older or that older people never used Cinemaphile. You're not special dude, I've been here since like 2005 (whenever the redesign happened and I could actually read the layout) and I'm 34.

I don't think technology isn't a god that will eventually fix all of our problems. These problems will be solved, but not intentionally and not by a company.
Really, i think people oversell the impact of tinder. It lets bawds be bawds more effectively, yes. But so what?
I'm not some gigachad or anything but I have an easy time of engaging with women in actual conversation in the real world and getting numbers, dates etc..
Maybe its because zoomer and millennial men have lost the ability to not be spergs because of their terminally online status, which allows me to profit. Who knows? But what I do know is that this tinder doom and gloom is pure cope from people who are terrified of actually speaking to a woman in real life and for people with no friends, social activities, interests or jobs.

Women i find attractive of various backgrounds and ages?
Ranging in age from early to late 20s,
Usually from bars, sometimes from a coffee shop or something.
You're probably thinking of cold approaching, which IS creepy and moronic. You need to talk to them a little bit before to make it feel more natural. You don't just stare hungrily at them then go and ask for their number.
Like I said, I am not a chad or anything. I'm 33 years old, look decent, dress well and am not a sperg. I don't even "clean up", there are successes and failures. I don't even sleep with most of the ones I do end up dating because I end up not liking them.
I have, however, literally never met a woman who thought it was just weird they were approached in real life. Maybe country and location matters? I live in London in the UK.
>You're probably thinking of cold approaching, which IS creepy and moronic.
It really isn't. My friend does it all the time with great success. The only thing that's creepy and moronic is approaching a woman and asking for her number/whatever and after they give you an unsavory answer you refuse to leave them alone. If they say no thanks just move along and go about your day and forget about them and they'll forget about you.
I'm not that guy, I'm 32, and I regularly meet women my age and younger at the gym, the theater, when I go out to events with friends, rock climbing, at the public ice skating or roller skating rink, the grocery store, anywhere. You need to be able to talk to people and take care of your appearance. That's it. If your immediate response is >Yeah but what if
Then you're living in a perpetual state of fear and need to get off the internet to clear your head. You'll get rejected occasionally. That's part of life. You'll also get better, funnier, more confident, and becoming a more pleasant and easygoing person to be around, which is what people find attractive in general.

it must be nice to not be inadequate
You know you could fix yourself right? Learn to be more social, overcome the anxiety of existing in public, grooming yourself to look better, getting in better shape, etc. You can do all that, it will take effort and time, but its gotta be better than self-pity frogposting right?
>I'm not some gigachad or anything but I have an easy time of engaging with women in actual conversation in the real world and getting numbers, dates etc..
you're 34 and unmarried.

he could never sustain it for long if he wasnt falling for the girl, but it was enough to pull
people still meet through friends of friends or whatever afaik, you probably just got old, out of touch and weird.
anyway, this guy has lots of friends connection, an academic educational trajectory, in no way looks unhealthy so women are not going to reproach him and unfortunately the opposite in my experience of women. this kind of reddit tier whacky humor eventually grates down anyone's psyche though why the theme of perpetually dating and looking and looking and looking for a long term partner must resonate so well with it's intended audience.
>people still meet through friends of friends or whatever afaik
You are the "old and out of touch" one my dear boomer friend, things are drastically different these days.
this is the correct graph. if you found someone through an online app and first met in person at a bar/coffee shop etc, it counted it as both, which doesnt make any sense
All of my hookups are through work or friends. I have never got an online date because i look like a trogolodyte or something idk. I do fine at work though.
Online dating will kill a mother frickers confidence.
>met through bars and restaurants still went up
Of course the online meetups have gone up drastically, everyone is on social media 24/7 nowadays, but your own graph shows that there's still other ways to meet people.
keep in mind that the purple "Met in Bar or Restaurant" line is actually the red "Met Online" line, it's just that participants picked that as where they went on their first date AFTER meeting online, which is why it moves the same as the red line, all explained in the study.
so the "Met Online" red line should be even higher.
This anon said it. A decent job actually.
A social circle is even more important but today's life is too fast paced/chaotic for some people to have one.
>remember kids when I did that thing with your aunt Robin >and I did that other thing with your aunt Robin >and then I did all those other things with your aunt Robin >and yeah, then your mom showed up or something
Fricking this. I always hated the premise of this show. If I was a widow explaining to my kids how I met their mom aka the love of my life, I sure as shit wouldn't bring up all these women I fricked and I definitely wouldn't talk about how in love I am with some other woman. In fact didn't he still want Robin after his wife died? Seriously, Ted is a disgusting sleaze. If I was his kid, I'd lose respect for him.
He was an architect.Chicks love artist types and money types, architect is both and is classy. You need to try to not get laid as architect. Of course braindead zoomer b***hes think they will all be fricking tiktok dancers so they think architect is some kind of construction worker or some shit like that..
Former architect here. Architect pay is surprisingly low and the job actually sucks. People who don’t know better romanticize the profession. It can help you get dates but architects have one of the highest divorce rates because of long hours and poor pay.
>the average Cinemaphilener is a shut-in loser with no graps of the real world, and thinks that only rich chiseled 6'4 gigachads get to frick women
More news at eleven
All you're doing is proving what number people like the best. If the question itself is meaningless or too subjective without enough objective definitions given, it doesn't matter how many samples you take. It's as meaningless as if I asked someone, "How fladorpadorp is Ted Mosby on a scale of 1-10."
>No there is if you do enough samples.
You might use the results of the samples as the basis on how to rate guys but most people don't. They'll rate people based on what they personally feel is a 4/10 or a 7/10. Most people do not read articles on what scientists and mathematicians are doing so they'll not even come across articles that publish the results of such data sampling.
>the average Cinemaphilener is a shut-in loser with no graps of the real world, and thinks that only rich chiseled 6'4 gigachads get to frick women
More news at eleven
he has no facial harmony. no deformities. looks mediocre. he's around a 5, i think 4 is objectively the most correct
Casting a gigachad in the role would have tanked the show, the complaints of a pretty boy crushing pussy while his hapless friends looked on would've been insurmountable. Women are able to look at themselves like soldiers, in this respect. You don't really see them complain about Shmosby running through pussy above his pay-grade like an MG42 on Normandy because it can be explained away by tenible romantic scenarios and other plot devices. They know that under certain circumstances they could convince themselves he's frickable. He's exactly as good looking as he needs to be for the show to work.
Because he's not a 4/10 lmao. He's like an average dude who also dressed well and had a good career the whole show. His downside is that his personality is pretty shit, but girls don't need to know your personality to frick you at a bar.
Also let's face it, if you were a regular at a bar where everyone liked you for the most part (bartenders and such) and all you had to do was drink with new women and then go "my place is upstairs" it's probably not that fricking hard.
>Also let's face it, if you were a regular at a bar where everyone liked you for the most part (bartenders and such) and all you had to do was drink with new women and then go "my place is upstairs" it's probably not that fricking hard.
Can confirm. >t. barfly of four years with a studio apartment 200 yards away from the bar
Women mostly don't give a shit as long as you're not frickugly/born with genetic defects. I personally think women don't actually have a 10 point scale. More like 5 points, and they're ok with 3, 4 and 5 with 3 being an average looking dude. Even 2s can compete. It's why you sometimes see fat fricks with 10/10s. If you're socially competent, you're not going to have an issue unless you live in a small Midwestern town where everyone knows everyone. Looks are a bonus that can open doors, but many other things trump looks.
>How do you even go about approaching someone? Leading with "Do you have a boyfriend?" out of nowhere seems a bit aggressive and creepy. >But on the other hand wasting a bunch of time bonding only then to find out she has someone also seems like a waste of time ultimately.
brother you are fish out of water to ask this kind of question
you're not really as different or autistic compared to other people as they'd like to think though, most people don't really socialize with complete randoms and don't really know how to but they don't really need to because they're talking to friends of friends, co-eds, colleges and such that kind of can't ghost them at will.
If your goal is to frick, just use tinder. Most of us competent people are making friends and selecting people we're interested in relationships from there.
I'm a 1.69m 4/10 Black person myself and, I shit you not, have fricked even super models and one of Cinemaphile's pet actresses. Literally just be outgoing and halfway thru yourself
anyway it's not really tinder but a combination globalisation and gentrification
generally young women always migrate from rural or low population areas into mayor cities
these cities in turn are afflicted by economic immigration from all over the whole world composed mostly of males whenever prostitution is illegal, i.e they are various thirdies that are looking for premium currencies
this all leads to a skewed gender ratio almost everywhere

Leaving where I was from was the best thing to happen to me. Move to a metropolitan city, make friends, find your love, leave the metropolitan city
It doesn't have to be in your country. There are kino metropolitan cities in Europe. Canada isn't bad per se either. NYC was pretty kino for me while I was there (08 to 14). Find a good place in said city to live. You don't have to be there your whole life.
I should note I did a few dates with people I met online (okc) while in NYC. Tinder had only just started existing and okcupid was where everyone went back then. Despite them not being bad dates, I realized very quickly that online dating wasn't for me.
He was in NYC and his competition was mainly disgusting israelites.
Chicks would date a relatively normal looking guy like him just as a break from all the israelite mutants a girl has to date to make basic inroads into NYC career and social networks.
Ted is believable. He has a cool job and friends who help him with the girls and he was still pretty much a loser with girlfriends cheating on him or dumping him. At the very least you could see some bawds trying with him just because he's an architect.
Now this fricker instead, this one makes no sense. He's a little bit actually ugly, a loser who got married several times, a giant dork with a shitty job and none of his friends give a shit about him either.
i work in a bar and there's a a regular there that's 5'4" and looks like a rat and he gets laid all the time you just have to hit on every woman you see
Kill your self lmao. Also sitcoms always had a dumb number of “relationships” because they were episodic. It would be insane if anyone actually dated or slept with the number of people they do in friends, Himym, sienfeld, cheers etc
To be fair, guys tend to blame their failures on external factors a lot. My dating game was going to shit. I got fit, I changed job where I could be more social and meet more people and this year I've had several dates without even putting in the effort. It's all about positioning yourself in an ideal situation if you're looking for women. And don't be creepy about it. Many guys my age fail because they're so blunt.
>My dating game was going to shit. I got fit, I changed job where I could be more social and meet more people and this year
These are you ameliorating external factors though. Dating shouldn't depend on what job you have or your physical fitness. For women it doesn't
I meant more blame factors out of our control. We have a lot of control we don't think about. Of course women also need their shit together, or are you thinking about dating just the white trash pool of singles? A lot of women find the dating extremely competitive. And honestly, once you're a guy that's semi successful, women will flock to you so long as you're nice and social. Of course women will find incels off-putting. But they also should.
>Of course women also need their shit together, or are you thinking about dating just the white trash pool of singles? A lot of women find the dating extremely competitive. And honestly, once you're a guy that's semi successful, women will flock to you so long as you're nice and social.
Well that's the point, if you're semi-successful multiple women will flock to you and not to the lesser successful ones, regardless of their own social or physical status. Women can have shitty jobs or be workaholics, they can be chubby or skinny of short or have no breasts, they'll still get chance to be selective. And then when there's multiple semi-successful men, then you need to be even more successful to make it in the dating game.
I have nearly the most anti-social job possible - fully remote work with colleagues from other countries and continents. And it has absolutely made my social and dating life worse, yes. But at the same time, I have several female colleagues at this job and they're all dating or married or married with kids. Yeah, I should change my job but maybe it's not that good for me to overturn my lifestyle and endanger my professional career just because some idiot with half my salary and responsibilities can date me
>positioning yourself in an ideal situation if you're looking for women
This is 100% true. I was drowning in it in high school, then batting .000 in college and I couldn't understand why. Then I realized I had to change with my surroundings somewhat. In high school, being my natural moody self who was into obscure metal and industrial was mysterious and alluring to the goth chicks and art hoes who stood in a ratio of about 3:1 to the sorts of dudes they wanted to frick. All I had to do was show up.
That shit didn't fly in college, and I had to adopt the persona of Chad Kegginton, president of Alpha Mega Moron and general rapscallion about campus. My conversations went from "Yeah, I think The Sound are somewhat derivative, but they still managed to fashion a niche within their scene" to "dude fukken pizza hamburgers weights tanning beds", and then I started crushing sorority gash with relative ease. The largest part of it was simply wearing blue jeans instead of black and button-downs instead of band Ts.
I've since mostly reverted to my more natural self and found someone who enjoys that person, but in college I just wanted to smash, so the adjustment didn't feel too inauthentic.
>enter Cinemaphile >everyone larps as being le gigachad with great looks and successful jobs >they just spend a shittton of time here because... reasons
>Looks decent >Has a great job >Has an exciting social life with wacky antics in every episode.
He's a catch. You're just lowballing him thanks to 21st century dating inflation.
People don't realize the dating bar has been raised for women aswell. They can't just be useless dead weight anymore. They are expected to have careers of their own and to keep fit and beautiful. A lot of women suffer under these conditions too. And while it's obviously easier for a woman to get laid, that shit will eventually poison her mind being used as a one night stand cum dumpster. I have seen it happen to a ton of women.
Yes you do. Once you've got your shit sorted, you're not going to accept someone that is too stupid to finish an education and hold a job. It's called having standards. You should try it.
My ideal woman does not have a job or professional ambitions because that would conflict with her raising my kids and getting bred by me every 9 months.
>They are expected to have careers of their own
Have you tried dating men that aren't broke? > and to keep fit and beautiful.
We're at the point where being slightly chubby is not just okay but considered extremely desirable. Unless your face is fricked up from birth the bar for female beauty is on the floor, just don't be obese.
>We're at the point where being slightly chubby is not just okay but considered extremely desirable.
lolno. Just look what's trending on Tiktok. It's not being fat. There is nothing as insecure as chubby woman.
Our concept of what "fat" even is has changed dramatically. Now to be fat you need to literally be obese. The modern day ideal is all about big breasts, thick thighs and a nice juicy gyatt. Just 20 years ago THAT would have been considered fat.
I'm Irish, and I've had this discussion with friends of many nationalities. Literally no guy is thinking "man, her ass is so flat, look at her non-existent breasts, she's so hot". That doesn't happen.
I remember when I was in high school and all the girls had this phase of being obsessed with having a gap between one thigh and the other. All the guys were just like WTF.
>Implying
That's only true because 50% of men are overweight. Why are they overweight? They were skinny once but realized they were average and just let themselves go. Eating food is pleasurable as hell
the reasons are completely irrelevant though
the average man is either fat, or balding, or 5'9"-ish, or has some ugly feature
ted is none of these things, that makes him an apex predator in the dating world >but men are fat because...
they're fat, ted isn't, that's all that's being said
Women are not objective
If they don't know you their brain tells them you're not a human. If they become aware of it they might break free from the programming but 95% of them don't
Why do you morons never post the very next graphs from that same data source showing women have more realistic standards for messaging men than men do for women?
>Women
Think most men aren't super attractive, but still cute enough to text them >Men
Think women are fairly distributed in attractiveness, only text the most attractive ones
that's because women string normal mem along on the baxkburner for .o ths messaging them the whole time while chad just texts lets frick and that's it you fricking homosexual A
Why do you morons never post the very next graphs from that same data source showing women have more realistic standards for messaging men than men do for women?
Because in reality, "Ted" is a fricking superstar actor - one of the most popular sitcom actors of all time who dated hotties like Minka Kelly and Abigail Spencer.
OP was just trolling and you're moronic if you think Josh Radner looks like the average dude
>OP was just trolling
Op was criticising his appearance by deliberately picking a shitty picture. Imagine unironically thinking women wouldn't be into a guy that looks like Ted mosby kek. Just Google him and scroll through some pictures
Im on a dating app without even a proper picture of myself. Just me watching a sundown. Then a literal wall of text detailing what im looking for.
I started this 5 days ago. I have 7 matches so far. Conversation going steadily with 5. Moved to a different app to chat with 2, and making plans to see those 2 to meet.
Once moved to the other app to chat I exchanged pics but by the time that happens it doesnt even matter that I am a 6/10 at best.
I think he's a demoralized man or idiot who believes that stars like Chris Hemsworth are an 8/10. Actual 4/10s are almost fugly. Like pic related is a 3/10.
It's not that it was a different time or the apps, its that women are moronic and will always rather frick an ugly smelly moron, than the knight in shining armor simp longing for her.
Women were a mistake
Women are like men. Sometimes they hook up with the worst people possible and fall in love because love is irrational. Just like guys will have a sweet girl that treats them like a king and go after some trashy party girl instead. That's why you play the game and put yourself out there. You never know where and when you'll meet someone you click with.
because you think women work like men and base everything on looks.
it was a different time
yes
ok guy, cool job that earns money
Pre-tinder was a wild time.
All you had to do was exist in public. This guy was dressed reasonable well (a step above slob) and groomed okay.
Though passing him on the side of the road these days he could be one of the many men who haven't got laid the whole year.
this. i remember 2012-2014 tinder, you could pull 8/10s for a date, no one blocked you, no one ghosted. you only swiped on people you wre interested in. no spam. it was a kino time

>met through bars and restaurants still went up
Of course the online meetups have gone up drastically, everyone is on social media 24/7 nowadays, but your own graph shows that there's still other ways to meet people.
the graph shows an exponential curve that will reach 100% in the next 5-10years
It'll hit 300% within 15.
keep in mind that the purple "Met in Bar or Restaurant" line is actually the red "Met Online" line, it's just that participants picked that as where they went on their first date AFTER meeting online, which is why it moves the same as the red line, all explained in the study.
so the "Met Online" red line should be even higher.
Don't forget he had a social circle and a job
This anon said it. A decent job actually.
A social circle is even more important but today's life is too fast paced/chaotic for some people to have one.
>Pre-tinder
Any time that the smart phone didn't exist was a like the difference between night and day compared to now.
He lived above a bar. Logistics are in his favor
Just lie through your teeth.
that homosexual was telling the story to his imaginary kids
Holy shit, I forgot how godawful the ending is.
>remember kids when I did that thing with your aunt Robin
>and I did that other thing with your aunt Robin
>and then I did all those other things with your aunt Robin
>and yeah, then your mom showed up or something
Fricking this. I always hated the premise of this show. If I was a widow explaining to my kids how I met their mom aka the love of my life, I sure as shit wouldn't bring up all these women I fricked and I definitely wouldn't talk about how in love I am with some other woman. In fact didn't he still want Robin after his wife died? Seriously, Ted is a disgusting sleaze. If I was his kid, I'd lose respect for him.
He was an architect.Chicks love artist types and money types, architect is both and is classy. You need to try to not get laid as architect. Of course braindead zoomer b***hes think they will all be fricking tiktok dancers so they think architect is some kind of construction worker or some shit like that..
Former architect here. Architect pay is surprisingly low and the job actually sucks. People who don’t know better romanticize the profession. It can help you get dates but architects have one of the highest divorce rates because of long hours and poor pay.
Stop making all the buildings ugly
It was a different time.
It was a writer living out his fantasy.
How is that an objective 4/10? He looks pretty good. I assume 4/10 means that you look somewhat ugly, if I get a 4/10 on a test I failed it.
>the average Cinemaphilener is a shut-in loser with no graps of the real world, and thinks that only rich chiseled 6'4 gigachads get to frick women
More news at eleven
It's never been objective. Different people have different definitions on what a certain number is. It's only 10/10 and 0/10 that everybody agrees on.
He's a 6
Plus he has height. Height is really important
No there is if you do enough samples.
All you're doing is proving what number people like the best. If the question itself is meaningless or too subjective without enough objective definitions given, it doesn't matter how many samples you take. It's as meaningless as if I asked someone, "How fladorpadorp is Ted Mosby on a scale of 1-10."
>No there is if you do enough samples.
You might use the results of the samples as the basis on how to rate guys but most people don't. They'll rate people based on what they personally feel is a 4/10 or a 7/10. Most people do not read articles on what scientists and mathematicians are doing so they'll not even come across articles that publish the results of such data sampling.
There's no way he's a 4. I'd say maybe a 7.7. His charisma adds a lot too.
he has no facial harmony. no deformities. looks mediocre. he's around a 5, i think 4 is objectively the most correct
He's not 4/10. Ted Mosby is relentlessly handsome. Barney is also relentlessly handsome.
Casting a gigachad in the role would have tanked the show, the complaints of a pretty boy crushing pussy while his hapless friends looked on would've been insurmountable. Women are able to look at themselves like soldiers, in this respect. You don't really see them complain about Shmosby running through pussy above his pay-grade like an MG42 on Normandy because it can be explained away by tenible romantic scenarios and other plot devices. They know that under certain circumstances they could convince themselves he's frickable. He's exactly as good looking as he needs to be for the show to work.
Might have something to do with actually making an effort to talk to them.
>objectively 4/10
mate he's at least a 7
Cuz in the 90s and 00s u litterally had to just exist to get women.
>born in 1994
>was a dumb child during the 90s and 00s
>grew into an adult right in time to eat shit
You may not know this but the show is a work of fiction. He's not a real person.
you now remember the indian
Worst arc. Kumar made me drop the show. I was only 13 when it was airing and even I knew he was shit.
Because he's not a 4/10 lmao. He's like an average dude who also dressed well and had a good career the whole show. His downside is that his personality is pretty shit, but girls don't need to know your personality to frick you at a bar.
Also let's face it, if you were a regular at a bar where everyone liked you for the most part (bartenders and such) and all you had to do was drink with new women and then go "my place is upstairs" it's probably not that fricking hard.
>Also let's face it, if you were a regular at a bar where everyone liked you for the most part (bartenders and such) and all you had to do was drink with new women and then go "my place is upstairs" it's probably not that fricking hard.
Can confirm.
>t. barfly of four years with a studio apartment 200 yards away from the bar
Women mostly don't give a shit as long as you're not frickugly/born with genetic defects. I personally think women don't actually have a 10 point scale. More like 5 points, and they're ok with 3, 4 and 5 with 3 being an average looking dude. Even 2s can compete. It's why you sometimes see fat fricks with 10/10s. If you're socially competent, you're not going to have an issue unless you live in a small Midwestern town where everyone knows everyone. Looks are a bonus that can open doors, but many other things trump looks.
How do you even go about approaching someone? Leading with "Do you have a boyfriend?" out of nowhere seems a bit aggressive and creepy.
But on the other hand wasting a bunch of time bonding only then to find out she has someone also seems like a waste of time ultimately.

brother you are fish out of water to ask this kind of question
you're not really as different or autistic compared to other people as they'd like to think though, most people don't really socialize with complete randoms and don't really know how to but they don't really need to because they're talking to friends of friends, co-eds, colleges and such that kind of can't ghost them at will.
If your goal is to frick, just use tinder. Most of us competent people are making friends and selecting people we're interested in relationships from there.
>If your goal is to frick, just use tinder
only works for Chad
I'm a 1.69m 4/10 Black person myself and, I shit you not, have fricked even super models and one of Cinemaphile's pet actresses. Literally just be outgoing and halfway thru yourself
Details anon. LA or New York. Did you used to post on the old /b/ celebrity hookup threads? Your phrasing sounds familiar.
anyway it's not really tinder but a combination globalisation and gentrification
generally young women always migrate from rural or low population areas into mayor cities
these cities in turn are afflicted by economic immigration from all over the whole world composed mostly of males whenever prostitution is illegal, i.e they are various thirdies that are looking for premium currencies
this all leads to a skewed gender ratio almost everywhere
I'm too low to completely understand your post but if you're saying there's more incels these days since the west is becoming more brown, you're right

Leaving where I was from was the best thing to happen to me. Move to a metropolitan city, make friends, find your love, leave the metropolitan city
>Move to a metropolitan city
hell no
It doesn't have to be in your country. There are kino metropolitan cities in Europe. Canada isn't bad per se either. NYC was pretty kino for me while I was there (08 to 14). Find a good place in said city to live. You don't have to be there your whole life.
I should note I did a few dates with people I met online (okc) while in NYC. Tinder had only just started existing and okcupid was where everyone went back then. Despite them not being bad dates, I realized very quickly that online dating wasn't for me.
this really isn't the kind of thing I wanted to read right now
actually hoping this post was just a work of fiction
Was her name Alberta Einstein?
He was in NYC and his competition was mainly disgusting israelites.
Chicks would date a relatively normal looking guy like him just as a break from all the israelite mutants a girl has to date to make basic inroads into NYC career and social networks.
Adam friedland would like a word with your moronic ass about israelites getting dates.
Because he's Ted Mosby: Sex Architect
~~*Mosby*~~
zoomermaxxing is when you take some random meme off tiktok and force it for a week
I don't have tiktok, but I hear it's a very cute and funny app.
He was a israelite, written by israelites, in short, their fantasy
>tall
>normal looking
>architect
>white
Gee I wonder
Ted is believable. He has a cool job and friends who help him with the girls and he was still pretty much a loser with girlfriends cheating on him or dumping him. At the very least you could see some bawds trying with him just because he's an architect.
Now this fricker instead, this one makes no sense. He's a little bit actually ugly, a loser who got married several times, a giant dork with a shitty job and none of his friends give a shit about him either.
He's tall
it's fiction, but yeah.
Hoeflation is fricking real
israeli Fantasy
he's a yid
i work in a bar and there's a a regular there that's 5'4" and looks like a rat and he gets laid all the time you just have to hit on every woman you see
>looksmaxing
Kill your self lmao. Also sitcoms always had a dumb number of “relationships” because they were episodic. It would be insane if anyone actually dated or slept with the number of people they do in friends, Himym, sienfeld, cheers etc
>online dating isn't real life!
It's the norm now. Pretty much every millennial and gen Z person agrees it's basically impossible to meet irl anymore
It's not impossible to meet but it is impossible to maintain relationships irl only
To be fair, guys tend to blame their failures on external factors a lot. My dating game was going to shit. I got fit, I changed job where I could be more social and meet more people and this year I've had several dates without even putting in the effort. It's all about positioning yourself in an ideal situation if you're looking for women. And don't be creepy about it. Many guys my age fail because they're so blunt.
>My dating game was going to shit. I got fit, I changed job where I could be more social and meet more people and this year
These are you ameliorating external factors though. Dating shouldn't depend on what job you have or your physical fitness. For women it doesn't
I meant more blame factors out of our control. We have a lot of control we don't think about. Of course women also need their shit together, or are you thinking about dating just the white trash pool of singles? A lot of women find the dating extremely competitive. And honestly, once you're a guy that's semi successful, women will flock to you so long as you're nice and social. Of course women will find incels off-putting. But they also should.

Well that's the point, if you're semi-successful multiple women will flock to you and not to the lesser successful ones, regardless of their own social or physical status. Women can have shitty jobs or be workaholics, they can be chubby or skinny of short or have no breasts, they'll still get chance to be selective. And then when there's multiple semi-successful men, then you need to be even more successful to make it in the dating game.
I have nearly the most anti-social job possible - fully remote work with colleagues from other countries and continents. And it has absolutely made my social and dating life worse, yes. But at the same time, I have several female colleagues at this job and they're all dating or married or married with kids. Yeah, I should change my job but maybe it's not that good for me to overturn my lifestyle and endanger my professional career just because some idiot with half my salary and responsibilities can date me
>positioning yourself in an ideal situation if you're looking for women
This is 100% true. I was drowning in it in high school, then batting .000 in college and I couldn't understand why. Then I realized I had to change with my surroundings somewhat. In high school, being my natural moody self who was into obscure metal and industrial was mysterious and alluring to the goth chicks and art hoes who stood in a ratio of about 3:1 to the sorts of dudes they wanted to frick. All I had to do was show up.
That shit didn't fly in college, and I had to adopt the persona of Chad Kegginton, president of Alpha Mega Moron and general rapscallion about campus. My conversations went from "Yeah, I think The Sound are somewhat derivative, but they still managed to fashion a niche within their scene" to "dude fukken pizza hamburgers weights tanning beds", and then I started crushing sorority gash with relative ease. The largest part of it was simply wearing blue jeans instead of black and button-downs instead of band Ts.
I've since mostly reverted to my more natural self and found someone who enjoys that person, but in college I just wanted to smash, so the adjustment didn't feel too inauthentic.

He's a catch. You're just lowballing him thanks to 21st century dating inflation.
People don't realize the dating bar has been raised for women aswell. They can't just be useless dead weight anymore. They are expected to have careers of their own and to keep fit and beautiful. A lot of women suffer under these conditions too. And while it's obviously easier for a woman to get laid, that shit will eventually poison her mind being used as a one night stand cum dumpster. I have seen it happen to a ton of women.
>They are expected to have careers of their own
men don't care about this
Yes you do. Once you've got your shit sorted, you're not going to accept someone that is too stupid to finish an education and hold a job. It's called having standards. You should try it.
My ideal woman does not have a job or professional ambitions because that would conflict with her raising my kids and getting bred by me every 9 months.
Men with careers do. You're a grown man who lives with his mom. Of course YOU would take a freeloading women. But normal men wouldn't.
what do you know about what men want, foid?
>They are expected to have careers of their own
Have you tried dating men that aren't broke?
> and to keep fit and beautiful.
We're at the point where being slightly chubby is not just okay but considered extremely desirable. Unless your face is fricked up from birth the bar for female beauty is on the floor, just don't be obese.
>We're at the point where being slightly chubby is not just okay but considered extremely desirable.
lolno. Just look what's trending on Tiktok. It's not being fat. There is nothing as insecure as chubby woman.
Our concept of what "fat" even is has changed dramatically. Now to be fat you need to literally be obese. The modern day ideal is all about big breasts, thick thighs and a nice juicy gyatt. Just 20 years ago THAT would have been considered fat.
Depends on where you live. That definition may be true in Amerifat or South America. In Europe, women are expected to keep slim.
I'm Irish, and I've had this discussion with friends of many nationalities. Literally no guy is thinking "man, her ass is so flat, look at her non-existent breasts, she's so hot". That doesn't happen.
I remember when I was in high school and all the girls had this phase of being obsessed with having a gap between one thigh and the other. All the guys were just like WTF.
If you give a frick about this show, you have an extremely low IQ.
>full head of hair
>not fat
>good skin
>decent height
>no recessed chin or any immediately offensive features
All these things combined unironically put him in the top 80 percentile, maybe even 90+
People are hideous, go outside and pay attention
I literally have all these things and I've still never had a gf
Then again, I am basically a neet with no friends
>Implying
That's only true because 50% of men are overweight. Why are they overweight? They were skinny once but realized they were average and just let themselves go. Eating food is pleasurable as hell
Your perception is incredibly skewed
>That's only true because
why do you gays do this shit? it's true, period
Things aren't black and white
the reasons are completely irrelevant though
the average man is either fat, or balding, or 5'9"-ish, or has some ugly feature
ted is none of these things, that makes him an apex predator in the dating world
>but men are fat because...
they're fat, ted isn't, that's all that's being said
>Average man either has this feature men on average have... or are average height... and that's why they don't deserve to breed
No wonder there are so many trannies nowadays
they can (and do) still breed you weirdo
there are just bigger fish
>Things aren't black and white
he's ugly, period
How old is he supposed to be? Asking for a friend.
he's 27 at the start and show takes place over 9 years
I swear incels have such a warped rating system with no grasp on what women like kek. There's basically only three groups:
8-10/10 giga chads
4-5/10 "average looking" (objectively ofc) guys who possibly couldn't get Stacies
And 1-3/10 virgin incels
Meanwhile in reality, Ted:
>Dark full head of hair, pretty eyes
>Nice lips
>Cute smile
>Nice jawline, no double chin
>Will love bomb you
That shit would work on 2/3 women every time.
True. The guys I know that pull the most are the ones that look semi dorky. Women feel safe or some shit around them.
meanwhile in reality indeed
Why are men such prostitutes with no standards?
Women are not objective
If they don't know you their brain tells them you're not a human. If they become aware of it they might break free from the programming but 95% of them don't
Why do you morons never post the very next graphs from that same data source showing women have more realistic standards for messaging men than men do for women?
Incels BTFO
>Women
Think most men aren't super attractive, but still cute enough to text them
>Men
Think women are fairly distributed in attractiveness, only text the most attractive ones
Literally projection tier (male) Stacy behavior kek
>women have more realistic standards for messaging men than men do for women?
you mean women rating 80% of men sub-standard?
How are you this much of a brainlet that you can't comprehend a straightforward sentence with accompanying graph?
that's because women string normal mem along on the baxkburner for .o ths messaging them the whole time while chad just texts lets frick and that's it you fricking homosexual A
Chicks HATE love bombing.
Virgin detected
Okay redpill me.
everyone is susceptible to love bombing, even you anon you cutie
Because in reality, "Ted" is a fricking superstar actor - one of the most popular sitcom actors of all time who dated hotties like Minka Kelly and Abigail Spencer.
OP was just trolling and you're moronic if you think Josh Radner looks like the average dude
>OP was just trolling
Op was criticising his appearance by deliberately picking a shitty picture. Imagine unironically thinking women wouldn't be into a guy that looks like Ted mosby kek. Just Google him and scroll through some pictures
he's objectively pretty good looking
Im on a dating app without even a proper picture of myself. Just me watching a sundown. Then a literal wall of text detailing what im looking for.
I started this 5 days ago. I have 7 matches so far. Conversation going steadily with 5. Moved to a different app to chat with 2, and making plans to see those 2 to meet.
Once moved to the other app to chat I exchanged pics but by the time that happens it doesnt even matter that I am a 6/10 at best.
he was white. women love white men. how is this even a question?
Why are you butthurt about it
This thread reeks of heathen Christmas-nonobserving thirdie browncels.
Because it’s another israeli wish-fulfillment piece of propaganda.
>bro he's totally only a 4/10
is there a term for this reverse sort of incel cope?
All the women I’ve talked to who have watched this show tell me Ted is pretty cute
>I-Its le social media and le smartphone's fault I'm a friendless virgin! ;___;
Nice Selfie
the earring carries him
>hairline
>stylish glasses
Mogs me
Sitcoms need their main characters to have sex for all the romantic hijinks.
Why aren't you guys spending Christmas with your family and gf right now?
I have neither. And frankly I stopped giving a shit about Christmas like a decade ago.
>4/10
the frick you talking about? dude's attractive enough to be lead of a successful tv show.
I think he's a demoralized man or idiot who believes that stars like Chris Hemsworth are an 8/10. Actual 4/10s are almost fugly. Like pic related is a 3/10.
Because it's israeli wish fulfillment like most modern media.
>objectively 4/10
He's AT LEAST a 6/10 you moron. Ted's cute.
Can't unsee the earlobes
>4/10
Lol
Do you think Gigachad is a like an actual real person
That's the power of orthodox israeli wiener, the most desirable wiener in the world.
It's not that it was a different time or the apps, its that women are moronic and will always rather frick an ugly smelly moron, than the knight in shining armor simp longing for her.
Women were a mistake
Women are like men. Sometimes they hook up with the worst people possible and fall in love because love is irrational. Just like guys will have a sweet girl that treats them like a king and go after some trashy party girl instead. That's why you play the game and put yourself out there. You never know where and when you'll meet someone you click with.
midwit israeli writers that's how.
