I thought of discussing this bc I'm going through a dry streak myself these last few years.

I didn't want to start in the lounge thread because that idiot Zatalcon will post his "advice" and post pics of obese chicks just to troll.

 

It seems that if you are not white, you have even less chance than an average white guy of getting matches. Couple that with women being unresponsive even if they match and it is just adding more barriers 

 

I know approaching in real life is thought to be preferred if you don't have any online success.

However I'm not really the go to bar and start hustling so I'm kinda behind the curve compared to most guys. 

 

During corona peak, I didn't go out at all and was worried about getting it or passing it to my parents that became a shit in for 1.5 years.

Now that COVID has stabilized somewhat, that loneliness has become amplified.

Online Dating is like 70% guys and unless you’re like top 10% (I’m being generous) it’s a waste of time and DEFINITELY a waste of money if you’re paying. 

I've seen that stat several times and don't doubt it. 

 

Counterpoint: I met my wife on eHarmony.  Met a few other quality people there too that sadly I wasn't up to snuff after they spent a month with me but I got my chance so I can't blame the algo. 😅

 

Dating in one's thirties is a bit rough since it's leftovers in every direction, but the women are less like princesses since they know they aren't in their twenties anymore, so the power begins to shift.

 

But I was thoughtful of the site or app I committed to.  Some of them encourage rejecting people to keep you on their treadmill.  I saw a gameshow once on TKBreezy's YouTube where the speed dating thing encouraged rejecting the other person before they reject you. Awful if you're dating but cringe-amusing if you like watching ppl get burned for the most trivial of shit.

 

Swipe left or right based only on a picture?  Shit if I looked good enough to win that matchup I wouldn't need an app I'd just go outside and smile more.

I 100% agree with the title. Full stop I used to run in the incel crowds and was just extra ass mad about women and all things that had to do with trying to get them. It took allot to get  me out but I think my general perspective on dating and shit has changed. I think a rule of thumb especially in the FGC is that any woman that goes to these events is probably on the grind like you. It's not that they don't want a  "gamer' bf but that they are taking the game just as seriously as you. I don't think the "don't shit where you eat" meme is always applicable to everyone protentional encounter you have but it's best to not sperg the fuck out and just let women do their thing. I've heard the stories of top players and thots (Chris G) but there's a reason why some girls will flock to those guys. That being said I 100% understand the struggle and I don't want anyone that's reading this to think I'm a simp that thinks men should just get fucked. But with all the crazy sexual misconduct shit that's happened in the FGC over the years it's probably better to just treat the women that attend those events like you would so nobody from around the way. And by that I mean a busta that you can get an easy w off of 😉

I made the title as such bc I’m sure events are a major cock fest, but this I feel is especially valid. Knowing how a lot of women are treated in online games if I was a woman I’d already be hesitant to go to one of these events but knowing the FGC has a diddling problem on top of that?? 
 

Personally I think if you’re an FGC bro your chances would be higher probably ANYWHERE else lol.

It's a bad idea to joining FGC or any hobby to be in a relationship

 

Dating nowadays is hard with younger women in early 20s, because of unrealistic expectation and high demands. And many are just bandwagoning hobbies and gaming for followers and having a community.

 

I used date woman 5-10 years younger than me i'm 39, I used to be in a 9 year relationship.

 

I'm into collecting as hobby more specifically street fighter and mtg, As for me I don't think it's a good idea to specifically find a match in your specific hobby especially in gaming like FGC and MTG.

 

Because in the collecting scene and gaming most females are posers that they are into the hobby for profit and attention. They aren't aware that they are posers that just ride the trend and fads. Some are into just finding a community or a group as the trend dies they lost interest jump to the recent sensational fad.

 

They try this game title or this game genre because it's mostly talk about then drop it for something more popularly new. While some were just playing said genre or game because close friends/peers, relative influence or their boyfriend are playing too.


I only meet few female friends that are passionate into gaming and collecting rather than finding them appealing because of being trendy
