I would guess you are not really trying. I was going to say that maybe your standards are too high, but even if that was the case you should at least be able to get a date 1 out of 100 times asking.

Dating reality shows do seem to have fallen out of popularity.

Ace is mid 40's, nice looking, in good
shape, has a respectable profession,
he could find 10 dates easily. He
doesn't try very hard..

You are right, I do not really try

I have been on countless dating sites (even the ones you have to pay to subscribe to) and receive zero responses (well, that is not true, I get responses from catfish or people trying to get me to subscribe to porn sites or send them my bank account information)

Dating requires time + finances

It seems, over the past couple of years I have had either time OR finances, but never at the same time

I'd bet money that they're all libbies. 🤣🤣🤣

Finally, worthy of post 10000!

Agree! 100%! I was doing MGTOW for years before I knew what MGTOW was!

Dating sites, yes, a waste of time. Reply, reply, reply, and keep getting ignored. I do know one guy said he had great luck, I have had next to none. At best you get a 10% reply rate. At best. Of that 10%, maybe 1 in 10 results in a date. How do you get to there?

You start by reading the ads. Too many of the women on there are undatable. You are either not attracted to them or something else. If you have a "no single moms rule" just fughetabaddit. Lots have their kids right in their profile, saying right out that their kids will be more important than you will be, ever.

So lets say you get past that. Too many want to play games for too long. I had at least one said I seem to be "a normal person." Women have told me they get some awful replies so I will buy they have their guard up. But do the ones that say you "seem normal" want to move forward? Like pulling teeth. To meet in a public place for coffee is too much. You are just out the subscription cash.

Maybe try speed dating? Not much better. Went once, almost got my pic in "The Wall Street Journal" at it, true story! Made one match, she never answered or returned a call. The thing is they begged men to show up at speed dating. A guy I worked with knew the woman running it and told me the wait list for women was long, men could call the last day and get a slot. Money down the drain.

Go to "singles events?" Been there, done that. Most of the women hanging with their girlfriends thru them. Went to a singles wine class, it snowed. Two of us. She had the same last name as me.

Slightly better luck on other things, but in the end it all filters to the same thing. Too many of the women out there are undatable. Baggage of one kind or another. At the same time, once you learn to be alone there is far less reason to even try. AoS seems to still be trying. I quit trying around 8 years ago, though my "trying" tapered off well before that.

Go MGTOW. Go ghost. Call it whatever you want. It is +EV.

If someone tells you need an average of 100 tries to be successful, most of you all should know that means the same as it does over on the gambling site. That's the average --no guarantee it won't be multiple 100s or even 1000. And with that, good luck!

Dating sites, yes, a waste of time.

That's because they're 80% horny
men and 20% fat/ugly/old women.
Any woman even a little attractive
can get 10 dates a weekend. It's
always been that way, they don't
need dating sites.

Quote: aceofspades

I live in close proximity to one of the world's biggest cities and I haven't had a date in 4 years.

I had to go to an island in the north pacific to find one that was a match. Your hunting in to big an area.

Either way, when you finally give up it brings a weird calm. Between going MGTOW and at the same time realizing no job is ever going to go very far you eventually realize why that old guy at the end of the bar is so relaxed all the time.

Cannibalism is illegal; issuing a press release about it is not, nor is having a ceremony about it.
