So let me start off by saying that I have my life together, a career, a nice car, money in the bank. Would say I've lost a bit of ambition career wise lately but overall my confidence is mostly intact. I know women claim "looks don't matter" but let's be honest physical attraction is what gets you into the door.

Now with all that said I either have incredibly shitty luck with women or the ones in my age group or younger that are in my vicinity are insanely high maintenance and extremely unrealistic. Either way it's gotten to a point where it's laughably bad and it's turned me away from dating or even the idea of it!

For instance, I've tried numerous dating apps and they're all the exact same BS, if anything gets past day 3 of texting and the rare meet up its usually a catfish with a degree in photoshop or a pretentious bitch who ditches after the checks been paid. All of them being an empty false connection and no interesting or meaningful conversations take place. Not with out the lack of trying either!

Now I'm a rough around the edges guy, someone who trys to be as straight to the point as possible. You know typical guy shit like just tell me what you need or want cause I can't pick up on these games when we're first getting to know each other. I'm far from perfect and have flaws and insecurities but I'm honest in the chats and if there's pictures involved it's always a one that was taken recently (3 weeks max).

What this long winded bullshit rant is wondering is: Other men have you experienced anything like this or am I just fucked? And Women I know my terrible dating luck by no means reflect the population, but if you have any idea what the fuck has been going on in the dating scene the last 3 years I would love to know!
