    it depends on the people you are with or what to find, there is still people out there which are young and dont stare on their phones.
    And with that people you can laos have a good date - with the others you cant, it will be silence, it wont be worth it.

    i have for my part my phone always on silence/off.

    I sometimes sit on desk in a chair and just watch clouds for 30 mins, just to relax and just reduce the stimulation ... even i dont scroll any social media, but sometimes its just to much ...

    [Male Perspective] Women are as different/individual as men are and people either 'work together' or don't. To have a complete distrust of our female counterparts because of mans limited experience of different groups of people in the world is just stupid... Life is a journey, people come & go, love freely and enjoy the time you have with someone even if its not forever.

    Completely agree. Love is great, but too many people think that finding that one perfect person just for them is the right way to go about love. Or that finding love will magically solve all their problems, which is bullshit. That one perfect person just for you simply doesn't exist.

    Also, one thing I notice very often is that men complaining about not being able to find someone actually don't like women in the first place, which is sad as fuck.

    People really tend to confuse that initial rush of intense infatuation with the kind of love that's going to keep you together down through the years and it's not. That's all great but you need to find somebody you're compatible with as a friend and partner, where you can sail through the rough patches and appreciate what you have together that's worth working for, when you're not all awash in hormones and tumescent engorged body parts. Otherwise it's just going to be nothing but drama constantly for the rest of your life and nobody can really deal with that. I mean, guess there are some people that thrive on that but not me.

    i have a GF of 10+ years. She's great, but its hard. If you want to be successful in ANY relationship, dating, friends, family, professional, whatever, it takes communication, patience, accountability, empathy etc

    of course you need to have found love in your self already, then its just a smaller step to find the right human, which also has found this and then you also realize it will change the world even more for you.
    Then the right human will find you ...

    But it is true it wont solve anything, which you couldnt solve on your own - i guess you even should have solve it on your own and then its good for the relationship.

    Just bear in mind, it's a lock and key. You can't jam a key in a lock that doesn't match just because you're desperate. Ya gotta wait for the right one however long it takes. And it may not fit the picture you had in your mind either. Be open.

    Yeah, at the risk of perpetuating a stereotype I eventually quit messing with Cuban and Puerto Rican girls. Brothers plus "Are you looking at me?? My boyfriend will kick your ass!" to MS-13 gang members in clubs...

    I agree with you there, TL;DR, the whole lock-key pair is not a permanent thing, it can change.
    About that, i think lots of couples are still together, despite their lock-key stopped fitting into each other, they simply started to live next to each other, while actual living together, and its kinda sad to observe that.

    Waiting the one, is kinda similar to keep those fire, when you are together with the one.
    Both ways you have to keep the fire burning somehow and thats where some couples seem to fail ...
    And being stuck into such a relationship - its terrible, but yet people keep enduring with it.
    Humans can be strange sometimes ...

    Uh? I've never done that :disco:
    Most of my dates just end with a "please don't block me on whatsapp ... wait, why are you running??!!"
    I know, as romantic as it gets... :rofl:
    Oh man this is even worse indeed.
    I mean, I used to have a quite fast 200 meters. But as I become an old boomer fuck is getting harder by the year...

    Unfortunately, I don't know where you live or in which part of the world.
    But start saving your money, because marriage is expensive...!

    Let's broaden your horizons:

    Look for a female partner from abroad, there are many women who live in poverty and are waiting for you to marry them and thus obtain your citizenship. These women are usually not as demanding and egotistical as their compatriots. These marriages also last longer.

    "Marriage migration remains one of the few legal ways to immigrate to a western country.
    This migration route is used primarily by women from less developed countries."

    There are various ways to meet a woman from abroad for marriage. Here are some options:

    International dating platforms: Websites such as Parship or ElitePartner also offer international dating.

    Specialized dating agencies: There are agencies that specialize in bringing women from certain regions such as Eastern Europe together.

    Free dating apps: Platforms such as Lovoo can also be used for international contacts.

    When using such portals, keep the following points in mind:

    - Find out about cultural differences in dating behavior in different countries.
    - Be careful and look for reputable providers to avoid fraud.
    - Consider legal aspects such as visa requirements and marriage certificates for international marriages.

    It is important that you take the search for a partner seriously and take the time to really get to know someone before you think about marriage.

    It's crazy to me that some people would do literally anything just to avoid reflecting on themselves and actually becoming "dateable".

    13 years with my wife
    She inspired a lot of my music

    Its really great to have someone with you that supports your choices, like buying a new synth instead a new car, ofcourse I dont tell her how much I spent on gear, but I like to think she will support me anyway

    using the word "dating" shows a formal way of doing things, and scares the crap out of me. You can be hanging out with someone exclusively...why u have to use that formal word....."Dating"....like its a job or something

    Unless you're dating the daughter of a King/Queen or something, then its more formal ok
