Women would be dtf a lot more, way more often, if it wasn't for sexism. All dudes seem to enjoy if they got to get their gently caress on more. So it is just logical to be a feminist dude even for the worst gross selfish reasons -- but most dudes are atrocious levels of dumb and unfathomable degrees of petty that the situation is they cockblock themselves, way2go dumbos

Yip yip. Turns out having a perspective that's all like ”Hell yea, get it on with whoever you like!!" helps to cultivate an attitude where more people are getting it on.

Also here is a pro-tip, male goons - women gently caress dudes they think are awesome AS WELL as dudes they think are hot. If you are a little ugly and/or overweight, you still have a great shot at dating cute girls so long as you are confident and kinda charming in a way she likes.

Like, they can meet you and at first be like "well he's not super hot..." but by the end of the date she is like "oh wow this guy does awesome stuff, I'd totally hook up with him!"

Tho there probably isn't a lot of overlap with people who make fun of ugly people on OKC and semi-schlubby goons who are awesome enough to date good looking girls just by being rad people.

lol if you think bars are anything but places to purchase overpriced drinks while groups of people ignore each other and only hang out within whatever group they came with.

loving weirdoes stick to ur anime.

I go to bars alone all the time. I make lots of casual acquaintances and a few friends here and there. Sometimes I get some dates, and occasionally I even get laid from bars!

But if you dont have the confidence to talk to girls randomly at bars what the gently caress good are you on an OKC/Tinder date? Do you basically just awkwardly sit around and hope she let's you hold her hand or something?

Pro-Tip for online dates: plan your first date so you are walking distance to another cool place. 30 minutes into your first date, you have A Great Idea! If she goes with you to the next spot, you're in! You have officially shown your date (who is online dating for a reason... Which is loneliness), that you are a can-do guy, or at the very least not a total pussy and will attempt to have sex with her; which, since she's doing online dating, she is probably after.

If she's tired or too busy for the next spot, she probably doesn't like you.

Her profile says she's not into one night stands or casual flings? Well its not nice to call her a liar, so just RESPECTFULLY try to gently caress her; hold her hands and kiss her cheek before you put your hands down her jeans.

I know chicks have to say this in some attempt to discourage idiot guys from messaging them "want some gently caress?" but anyone else have the experience where this is almost never true in practice once you're out on the first date?

Basically women are sick of being hit on by who they perceive as idiots who only engage them to gently caress.

Yea, if you're out on a date with a girl whose profile says "no casual sex!! serious relationships only!" and you're hitting it off, guess what! You guys could very easily hook up once or twice no big deal, because you took the time to actually make her laugh and be a Cool Dude.

If you can't regularly get laid from OKC or whatever, you really should kill yourself for being socially inadequate. It's pretty obvious it's just an online bar.

Just figured I'd tell you guys okc got me laid again. Med student cutie, really knew her way around in bed.

She was very impressed by my profile and how much we had in common and my gentlemanly manners such as holding the door open for her, and being entirely respectful of her as a woman by waiting for her to make the first move.

Aha just kidding, I was making out with her after an hour and by the end of the date she was more than willing to hop into a cab to my place.

Yea, no matter how well you hit it off with somebody you gotta realize that they're probably gonna date like 4 other people in the meantime.

Oh yea. Plus if you find a cool one who isn't crazy (some just got married young to a dickbag) who doesn't instantly spew their drama and kids onto you, they're super down to hook up casually and have fun. Best OKC hookup was a single mom who wanted to drink tequila and do butt stuff and watch movies like Dredd and that Gary Oldman Dracula movie.

Actually she was so cool I even feel bad about that previous 'spew drama' comment - but give some loves to single moms, lots of them are super chill.

OK I officially don't get OKCupid - it's easy to hookup on there but the last few girls that I've hooked up with have gone TOTALLY cold (no contact) after hooking up a few times.

Like we'll go out, have a couple drinks and go back to my place. Then we'll do it again... And then a few times after that, and then NO CONTACT EVER AGAIN! I'm not getting clingy - I make it known after the second date that I don't go into this whole thing looking for any specific thing but I'm down with dating.

I don't think I'm a "player" - I don't hook up with people I wouldn't want to see again.

My guess is that those girls were seeing other guys at the same time as you, things began to heat up with someone else, and they turned their attentions that way. They didn't want to "break it off" because they want to have you on reserve.

Messaging or dating is fine, but if we've actually hooked up once or twice... Like I don't feel I'm OWED anything, but a "hey I had fun but I met somebody I really want to date" sucks WAY less than just going blank.

And no it does not happen IRL - I've never met a girl in person, asked her out, hooked up and then had her go totally cold.

I know you're just being a dick for fun, i just honestly never considered that point of view before. I've known thats its different with online vs in person dating i just never knew that a woman would hook up with a guy but still want to cut off contact entirely vs risking telling him.

also if rejection doesn't get easier after the first 2-3 times, seek therapy. nobody wins them all, and you don't always get what you want.

what are you supposed to say? here is always the reason somebody breaks up with somebody else: "I think I can do better than you." flat out telling somebody that, man or woman, is just cruel. people who get dumped say they want the truth, but they honestly don't.

I am totally down with hooking up and casual dating. It's fun.

If you're out there regularly hooking up with people you think you can do better than, try dating up a bit? I don't think I deserve an explanation, but when I'm hooking up with somebody a few times and I meet somebody I actually want to date I will send a "hey you've awesome to hang out with, but I met somebody I really want to get to know more."

The cute/pretty girls online who list a couple of nerdy things are not their for people like you goons to send some 'desperate plea at companionship' type of message to, they are there to enhance their dating pool. So leave them alone and stick to the dregs you deserve.

Oh yea, this thread!

So a few weeks ago I met up with this girl from on here - she hit me up first, gave me her number and we'd been texting back and forth for a while so I figures we were going to hook up. We go out, have a LOT of drinks (and at this point it's obvious she's a little crazy, but the quirky kind and not the talk-to-herself schizo kind) and decide to taxi back to her place.

So we start hooking up and she bites my lip. Hard. I say "Don't do that I can't show up to work with messed up lips but you can bite elsewhere if you want." At first she's OK with it and it seems like she just likes a bit of rough sex which is cool with me. 15 minutes later she bites my lip hard again, and I'm pretty firm with her this time saying "Do not do that again." She seemed to get it this time.

Until 20 minutes later (and a bunch more drinks on our part) she bites my lip REALLY hard and drew blood. I'm pissed, so I shove her away and yell at her, and she starts calling me names like "Pussy Boy" so I start to put my clothes on, and she loving slaps me! At this point my brain is all raged up and drunk so I think "I think I'm supposed to slap this god drat girl..."

So I did. I slapped her.

And then she got super normal and turned on - we hooked up all the next day too.

That girl was loving crazy.

I just never assume they are lying or having second thoughts - I had a girl tell me she had to cancel because of some vague family problems and was "so sorry". I just figured that was the case and said "Oh no problem, that'll happen. Just let me know when you're back in town and ready to have a drink. Hope everything smoothes itself out soon!"

Turns out she had a crazy aunt and she was the only person on the same coast and we met up for drinks a week later. And we hooked up and she was the bomb in bed to boot.

Basically, being anything other than understanding and confident that the other person really does want to meet you is the wrong mindset.

Edit - also let me give you some realtalk advice here Shirley Crabtree: you cannot get to know somebody on OKCupid through messaging back and forth, or even texting. You go back and forth a few times to establish that this is somebody you'd want to meet, and go straight for the date. "Hey, it's been fun talking here, would you like to meet up for a drink sometime soon?"

If you're bent out of shape by somebody canceling plans you're too involved already, and you're relying on this as a crutch for dating versus a supplement. Chill out and reevaluate yourself because you sound bitter, and that will come through in all of your interactions.

But my point is some people are terrible enough that they do lie about that kind of thing when they get cold feet, both guys and girls, and shame on anyone that does. I'm not bitter I wasn't massively feeling it anyway and was hoping for some kind of excuse but wow, not that.

You're sending off some mixed messages - you were hoping the date didn't happen, you weren't attracted to her, but how dare she have the audacity to use this particular excuse? What excuse would have been acceptable?

Also, you're calling people who cancel dates "terrible" - if somebody cancels a date it's because they either aren't into meeting you, or something actually did come up, or they're working through their own poo poo like anxiety or depression - you throwing out the "well some people are just bad or terrible." thought just reeks of bitterness - I'd cancel on you too.

You still lost the game by giving a poo poo about why she cancelled. You've said you've got other options, so why did this even register as a blip on the radar? I believe you're more invested than you should be, and that you would be equally outraged at any excuse she had for cancelling.

I apologize in advance for seriousposting in GBS, but there is no set timeline/number of date after which you are owed sex. If you enjoy spending time with her, and it seems like you do, then do it. And if sex is really that important to you nobody is stopping you from also dating other girls who are more your usual "bad girl, sleep on the first date" kind of deal.

Well if anybody actually here thinks you're owed sex at any point, please kill yourself, and if you know people that think they are owed sex please kill them.

But, three or four dates is the sweet spot - if we've made out and watched a movie on the couch together, sex shouldn't be a big deal. It is a major red flag (for me) if a partner thinks of sex as Big Deal that has all sort of rules as to when it can happen.

I think I'm a bit burned out on OKCupid.

I dunno, it's good for hooking up but if you don't hook up on the first date you can basically assume you've got maybe a 20% chance of seeing them again.

In-person at a bar you've already been vetted when you get them out for a dinner, it's kind of like a second or third OKCupid date.

Every girl I've ever met who actively self-describes as a feminist has been cool as gently caress, and usually a bit more down to casually fool around.

If your only exposure to feminism is through the purposeful selection of the most outrageous quotes, curated by a bunch of bitter men, then sure you'll see various quotes about feminism as a "red flag". But most of the feminists I meet just want respect of their female agency and an acknowledgement of some of the issues that are being faced by women these days. I've yet meet one of these "radical tumblr feminists".

PLUS basically every one of them has enjoyed me sliding a finger or two up their rear end when I've gone down on them, and they seem to give way more enthusiastic BJs.

They are pretty easy TBH, just be ready to bail out on trivia night with your buddies if she texts you "Hey got a free evening, want to have a beer?" or something like that because single moms ain't got much time and they make efficient use of it.

One single mom did have me meet her kid but it wasn't some big thing, she just asked if I wanted to have wings and a beer at some cool little restaurant and her kid, while a bit wild, was a cool 5 year old who loved Lego.
