  • What I’m hearing from you is that it’s not other people that aren’t giving you the time of day, it’s you that is not interested in other people.

    That’s totally fine, to each their own, but I just don’t understand why one would complain on the internet that they’re not having successful interactions with women when they’re not really attempting to have interactions with women.


  • Nobody starts out knowing what they’re doing.

    You have to practice and suck for a while, living is all a process of trial and error. Don’t blame your lack of practice and skill on other people if you haven’t gone out of your comfort zone to learn.

    You said women assume the worst when you approach them. Use that pattern recognition all humans have and run some tests instead of assuming all women will react the same way to you. Because they’re not reacting to you, they’re reacting to your behaviour.

    Ask yourself why and try a few different things. You’re gonna fail, but you have to learn to move on from that to build your confidence.

    If you want to build connection, you have to learn to be comfortable with vulnerability.

    I’m autistic and am no stranger to misinterpreted signals. Just because I’m a woman doesn’t mean my social interactions are all fine and dandy. I flip between thinking everyone is crushing on me and everyone hates me, and this is a normal human experience that everybody goes through. You have to learn to let go of people sometimes and learn which interactions tend to lead to better connection, but you will get nowhere if you do not try, and you will get nowhere faster if you don’t try and you avoid social interactions because of an outcome you are assuming will happen.

    I will reiterate. I am diagnosed autistic. I STILL do not know how to socialize as a normal person, and I have accepted that I never will. It is time you also accept you will never know what is normal, and figure out what works for you through trial and error and vulnerability.

    Here’s hoping you find your confidence. Godspeed 🫡


  • I don’t have time or energy to read or respond to your entire comment because honestly who does.

    One thing that really irks me is the “its impossible to meet women in public because they treat you like a creep when you approach them to find a date”

    Women don’t like being treated like a romantic prospect pff the hop, but a lot are happy to meet new people. The important thing is not to approach anybody like a romantic prospect when you don’t know anything about them, because they know you’re doing it exclusively based on how they look.

    The interactions that have seen the most success are the ones that aren’t presumptuous. Just talk to people in general like you’re trying to make friends rather than date and take it from there based on whether they actually seem interested in your company.


  • My whole point though, is instead of being reactionary of women pressuring men to pay, the best solution is just to not attract those women in the first place by favouring cheap or free dates. Women are not all the same, a lot of women love going for a walk for a date or just getting a coffee.

    I hear a lot of men - including men i know and have talked to about this in person - complaining of women expecting expensive dates, and when I’ve told them “just stop going on expensive dates” they respond by telling me they won’t get as many dates that way and my big question to them here is “why do you want dates with the same women you were just complaining about? Is this about getting dates or about finding someone with whom you connect?”

    Gosh same. Me it was 2014, back when tinder still showed your mutual friends.

    This vitriol around spending money on dates is so annoying. Like if it concerns you why don’t you just do cheap dates like coffee or a joint by the river like a sane person?

    It weeds out any people whose values don’t align with yours on that front.














  • Who says this company has the same financial resources as that one?

    Who says the video you shared is not significantly newer than the one OP shared?

    Who says this is even a company made robot? This could be an engineering competition for all we know.

    You called it AI based on a comparison with no logical basis behind why that would mean it’s AI, not based on any actual reason or tell within the video.

    I can see several reasons why this is not an AI video within the video. The background is too consistent, trees and the fence stay in the same place. Things that go off camera come back on camera look the same as before.
