That's how long I've been on online dating. Off and on for 16 years.
So how much longer do I have to self improve to get dates? I've calculated over the years of tweaking my profile, I've probably put in 120 hours per serious interaction.
That means 120 hours of tweaking profile, messaging women, trying to talk to them and maybe get serious interest once every year and a half of trying.
In that time, I've been rejected by a felon, a former hardcore drug user, a virgin, a mother with a baby under a year old, and a mother with 5 kids under 8 including two sets of twins. A nurse told me I was smarter than her previous boyfriend, a PhD in research neuroscience. The last woman I went out with had an Ivy league school teacher of a father, and mother and a sister who were both medical doctors. Oh and her step mother is a world renown author who is so popular she's been on the simpsons and nominated for multiple multiple Pulitzer prizes in fiction.
I was there in 2009 when I first saw the 80-20 graph in all it's glory. People on reddit told me for years I was delusional until every year statistics came out to back it up. I was there for the birth of blackpills and incels.
okcupid was the only site that worked for me, I've been on Bumble and Tinder for 3 years now and I yet to have any serious interest at all.
I'm 45 years old. How I could be better than my 30 year old self doesn't really make any sense at this point. Everything about me is sliding downhill.
This is why men my age off themselves. They know it's over.
We know how many suicide, but how many commit crimes as a form of suicide? How many accidental deaths are intentional?
Happy Sweet 16 to my okcupid profile.
