I did. I spent years on it. It doesn't fucking work.
I spent a lot of the past few years convinced that I might be able to ascend. I literally became the "24 y/o improover" guy. Got involved in a sport I like, started going to the gym more, eating healthier, and got into the best shape of my life. Also got into another hobby, one that takes a lot of skill and has a high barrier to entry. The kind of thing that makes normies say stuff like "wow, you're really talented, I would never be able to do that." I have friends and a decent social life. I got a really good, stable, high-salary job. I'm above average height. I have the "three 6s".
Feeling proud of all that, I decided to put myself out there. Took pictures of myself and set OLD profiles. Followed all the advice. Dressed nicely, good lighting, shots of me doing stuff, natural smile, no selfies, etc. Zero likes. Like some kind of naive idiot, I tried paying for their "premium" features to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. I do some reading on the subject and find out that OLD has gotten a lot worse recently, and the gender ratio of the userbase is the worst its ever been. Many are saying that it's much easier to date IRL as a result.
Emboldened by this fact, I decide to sign up for an IRL speed dating event. I clean myself up as best as I can, and go to the bar where it's hosted. The event is set up so that you spend 10 minutes talking to each girl, and at the end you rate everyone you talked to as either "match" or "pass". If you mutually "match" someone, the organizers send you her contact info. Like some kind of delusional fool, I thought all my conversations went really well. Mood was lighthearted and relaxed, genuine laughter, smiles, eye contact and all that. Felt a glimmer of hope at the end of the night. Get my results email the next day. Zero matches. Not even the ugly/fat foids wanted to see me again.
I'm just kicking myself for being naive enough to buy into the standard "dating advice". None of it works. They'll tell you any lie you can possibly imagine to avoid telling you the truth. Unless you're attractive or charismatic, nobody fucking wants you.
Idk what the future holds for me. Maybe once I'm older, my silly little accomplishments will be enough to get desperation sex from single mothers or something. Maybe I'll waste all my money on plastic surgery and still never get laid because I have no fucking clue how to socialize like a normal person. Maybe I'll just kill myself and be done with it.
Until then I'm gonna keep improooving because I still think it's better for my health than doing nothing, but I have no illusions about it making me any more likely to ascend. Thank you for listening to my stupid rant.
