That's actually not a horrible idea, sure some women will only be interested in money and official papers, but some just have a different mindset when it comes to finding things attractive in a man. My highschool friend struggled before he met a girl in Belarus (he's from Poland so it's a neighboring country) and they're happily married for several years now. But yeah, as it's been recommended it's best to start by moving or at least initating contact with people from bigger neighboring cities.
But not everyone is like that. The first message and profile picture are the most important parts of online dating. Then maybe they will check out your profile. Why do you think Tinder is so successful? It has you put in the bare minimum so you can weed through people in the most shallow way possible.
I wish I could but i love my job
Being obese for 5 years and lacking self confidence...
Already done that, forgot to add that on my op
As I said in a previous reply, being obese and not taking care of myself
I took my profile text away a couple of weeks ago trying to create a new one
I could try that but I only have male friends and the only female friend I have is at work but I’m over 10 years older than her
Ah, sorry I missed that. Being obese myself, I can understand the struggle.
Self confidence doesn't explain lack of dates. Or did you have some but did not go? The most likely causes for not even dates in seven years are: Your standards are too high, then lower them because apparantly you are not as good a catch either (otherwise you would gave dates). Or you come across as a creep, needy, similar offturning qualities when you text. Then get a ghostwriter to help you learn how to sound confident. And act like it.
I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain it's still through friends, not going out to bars.
Friends absolutely is a factor but also just going to bars. At least here in the DC area where everyone is single.
Depending on how good of friends you are, ask her for help. "I am having trouble getting dates, do you have any suggestions?"
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that OP isn't spam bot levels of good looking.
You can’t search for a similar job in a more populated area? Obviously don’t quit your current job until you have another lined up.
Being normal-looking (like roughly half the population) still gets you little attention unless you have a profile.
Don't kick dirt in his face when he's just learning lol
That's not true at all. Humor and a good personality are far more important when women get about 100 "sup baby" texts a day
If your job matters that much to put it over possibly having a relationship, must be worth it.
This. This. This. People can sense when someone has no confidence and lacks self esteem about themselves. And it's typically unattractive.
Online dating isn't gonna do you much good if you're already this awkward around women.
Have you tried therapy?
Lmao bragging in a thread made by someone trying to improve their confidence
I find it kind of sad that you felt you needed to post this in this thread.
Why is it taking you two weeks to edit your profile text? You can bang one out in five minutes
