Dating Advice

So doesn't anyone like you?
When was the last time someone liked you?

I've had professionals whose job it was to pretend they liked me, but that doesn't count. Aside from them, I haven't been in the company of a real peer in many years.

Fair enough. If no one is able to like you, then you are probably unlikeable. That probably makes you undateable, yes. Sex is still available,of course, but not dating or relationships etc.

Have you tried to make yourself likeable?

Have you tried to make yourself likeable?

You mean, have I tried to lose weight? Yeah, I've given it a bit of effort. Hasn't worked. All I have is sex, and not even sex with females, sex with guys.

Weight? No. We were talking about your personality and ability to make friends, not your physical attractiveness.

So, to be clear, you're saying you're fat, smelly and unlikeable.

But I'm asking, have you tried to be likeable?

Take her to the zoo on the first date, jump into the lion's den, and slap a lion* so that she sees that you are a brave strong man.

* wolf, tiger, bear, or wolverine would do too.


But what was Richard Feynman's advice on dating in bars? If you want to have sex with girls that you meet in bars don't buy them drinks or anything else before you have sex.

It's a trap.

Hunt them before they can hunt you.

Use an axe.

[Angrboda]

Don't be a dick. Unless, of course, your name happens to be Dick.

[brewer]

How so?

I am a socially awkward, socially inept, smelly dude who is also kind of antisocial and I haven't been with a female in many years. It's not going to work out for me because it wasn't meant to work out for me. Some people can have relationships, others don't fare so well. That’s it.

Don't forget to purchase some soap. Probably a foam bottle brush also.

Weight?  No.  We were talking about your personality and ability to make friends, not your physical attractiveness.

So, to be clear, you're saying you're fat, smelly and unlikeable.  

But I'm asking, have you tried to be likeable?

I'm not really sure what that means, to be genuinely liked for who I am, I just try to be funny and hope that people will like me because I'm funny. There's nothing genuine about it.

I believe in the maxim "an interested person is an interesting person." 

So that means two things: 

1) show passion for something beyond oneself, that one can talk about. Some field of music, local history, restoring old houses -- something that shows you're not completely self-centered and take an interest in life. Plus you can grow friendships that can turn into dating. (Probably this wouldn't include an obsession with hentai porn or some other creepy thing.) 

2) Show genuine interest in the person sitting opposite you. Ask questions and listen to the answers. 

The least datable person is probably the one who says "I'm bored and boring, I need a partner to save me."
