rateme is a bunch of guys rating other guys. #2 is purely subjective or common sense. Some chicks dig long hair. Some chicks dig beards. Working out makes literally everyone more attractive. Grooming yourself so you look like you know what personal hygiene is, should not come as a surprise to anyone over 16.

Plenty of women post on rateme too. I see no problem with it at all. Some people just want advice, it's not hard to understand. It's cool if it's not your thing, but you don't have to put people down over it simply because you don't like it.

My hometown was pretty small and there wasn't a lot of ethnicity. Last summer I made my first asian girl friend and since a few months now I just can't stop to think about Asian women. The thing is, i still live in a relatively small town and I don't really know where to look to meet them. There's no chinatown. The only place I could meet them is at my university and if it's i find them.

Don't know why i never got interested into them, i grew up loving japan very much but I guess taste change over time

What she's saying is that it's idiotic to get wrapped up in the ratings of Reddit users, many of whom are just outright trolls. There's literally no point to posting a picture to a widespread audience like that. Posting here? Sure. You have a curated group of people willing to offer advice (for instance, you're attractive; you should consider a more "professional" haircut; and starting to lift weights wouldn't hurt).

Reddit is a garbage-tier trash fire.

Plus, let's be honest: if you're posting your picture, you already have a sense of how you look, and a psuedorandom string of 4s or 8s from anonymous Internet trolls ain't gonna help that.

Please don't fetishize Asian women.

It's okay if you find certain features attractive, but don't go full-out weaboo on us. You should talk to all women you find attractive at your university. That's the best place to meet people, as you might suspect.

Stop posting in rateme. It's fucking toxic.

Also, knowing your score doesn't do anything at all to help you, and is perhaps one of the most unattractive things a person can do imho.

Sorry, just popped in because seriously it SCREAMS insecurity and no one like that except predators.

Yerp.

Honestly it's a lot less the 'rating' part and a lot more the 'reddit' part, because 99% of subreddits are filled with asshole trolls. Like even the most secluded subreddits that I frequented often had some assholes, imo. If you even get any advice, it just might be really shit. It's better, if you need advice on fashion and the like, to look at some of the links in the OP and work on it from there.

I agree certain parts of Reddit are a total dumpster dire but I haven't seen anything of the sort from rateme. The community of people that post there is small so it's mostly contained.

I wouldn't even call it a widespread audience, the subreddit usually gets maybe a dozen upvotes for most people, if even that. It's very small.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Rateme/com...ttle_bit_to_go_so_am/?st=jdj90q3z&sh=da67fa53

Just popped open the first one I saw and saw nothing but great comments in there being very open and supportive.

Anyway, I want to get off the subject lol, I doubt it's worth the discussion.

I don't know why anyone would look for advice on rateme. Literally the first post in that cesspool of a subreddit (like most of them) was a girl posting her pics with "constructive criticism please!" And some of the first responses were "4/10" and "you could land a plane on your massive forehead" like, how the hell is that constructive? Fuckin' reddit, man.

I have the most maddening problem of being able to get a lot of first dates that seemingly go very well, including ending up in bed together (although not having sex usually) maybe 30% of the time, and then having things go absolutely nowhere with no followup. I try to be social, text them, ask about things and suggest possible things we could do again without being too pushy, but inevitably within 3-5 days before we have a chance to do something again I can tell they're not interested and I just stop following up.

If you're getting a lot of first dates and no second dates, it could be something you're doing on those dates. Have you analysed the dates you've been on and seen if there was a particular area of conversation or action which might have made the other person uncomfortable? Are you texting too much after a date?

Don't fetishise Asian women, it's not like one of your animes.

Geez guys, im not only interested in them, I like all kind of ethnicities, sorry if my post was too much centered around asian women. If im only interested into strong girls, would that be a fetishise too?

Hunting for Asian women wearing snapbacks

Any girl wearing a snapback is instant points. As long as its not a stupid shitty fishing/hunting snap. Nothing worse than camo/basspro hats.

Yes that would be a fetish. And frankly, the way you constructed that whole post was weird as fuck. Read that outloud to someone and see what they say. If you aren't willing to do that, just take our advice.

Eh I didn't find it weird, I love Asian chicks too, but I ruined that chance long ago when I fell out with a girl:(

She was real cool and nerdy but she came on way too strong and said she loved me on the second date. Needless to say 20 year old me got spooked, 20 year old me was pretty weird though.

That doesn't stand out to you as weird and fetishizing? He can't stop thinking about them and doesn't know where to look for asian women exclusively. Like come on man. Thats not a normal way to put that.

I mean as far as I can tell the dates go really well, and I'm usually pretty tuned to when people are uncomfortable. I don't...think I'm texting too much? If someone doesn't reply after a conversation has been going I don't follow up with like three more to bug them or anything, usually I'll wait like 24 hours, give them one more message to see if they're interested in resuming, and then figure they're not interested and give up

What? There is absolutely nothing wrong with preference. If some girl says she prefers white guys then I'm not going to say anything about it because hey, good for you that's awesome.

Really?

I didn't say it wasn't a fetish, just that I don't think it's weird to prefer one ethnicity.

Met a girl on party bus last night, hit it off, got her facebook, messaged her and asked if she wanted to get a drink sometime, she said maybe.

Most of the times when she drops the "maybe" line when you ask her out, she's probably saying no but wants to be nice?

Am I wrong or is my confidence just shaken.

Anything that's not a "yes" is a no.

Your response is "Cool. Would love to take you out. Let me know when you're free." Then let it sit. Expect nothing and act gracefully. Don't keep trying to thirstily engage via FB. (Not that you're doing that; it's more meant for others.)

Theres preference and having a type and then fetishizing someone for their race. The latter is a problem when you specifically go after someone because of their race, its creepy. Which is why I was specifically pointing out was that guys post and how it was worded. They basically scream "hey I'm looking for this type of person where do I find them"

It's not your confidence, that's the dating game. Of course maybe is no or more likely "Not until I'm sure your not actually a weirdo" in the scenario you described. See of you can keep a decent conversation going for a week and ask again. If you get another no, then just move on.

Good advice. I'll roll with it.

If nothing comes of it, at least we had our fun.

It wasn't worded the best, I agree, but again I'm only commenting on the ethnicity part, not trying to find hot single Asians in his area.

All you need to do is go look at all the posts in the ones where chicks post, and all the posts in the ones where guys post. The difference in tone is so blatant and hilarious.

Yep. The ball is in her court, and she gets to decide if she wants to meet up with you. But yeah, if more than a week goes by without answer, she's turned you down.

People do things at night that they decide they don't want to do anymore in the morning.

I feel like a number of posters here would do well with a lesson on sentence structure and how things come across in text >.>

It's for the best. Getting to know people via walls of text is inferior to talking to them anyway.

Hello friends, I don't really know what to do right now. I've been seeing a girl since early last year and everything has been going pretty much perfect ever since. Lately though online she's not been responding a lot to me, and last night she didn't reply at all when I asked if she was going to finish work early enough to see me. I'm really worried, like her and her kids have become a part of my life and seeing her is the highlight of my week. I don't know if I'm just overreacting or what. :(

Could be so many things - I'd need more details to understand better, but my gut tells me that you're over-invested, or at least more invested than she is, and you may be smothering her a bit, so she's recoiling. I suggest taking her cue and backing off a little yourself as well, but make sure you talk about it with her, not right away, but soon when the time is right, you'll know.

Oh god, i hope i haven't put her off or something. It's been normal for me to ask when she's getting off work though. I asked her this morning what happened last night and she just said she felt weird and went to sleep. My stomachs in knots just thinking about all of this.

Are you just seeing her once a week or something? Are you actually a couple?
