    Why have standards?

    Perhaps successful relationships, or where long term relationships were the cultural norm, relied on a 'division of labor'. The man worked in the public sphere, and the woman looked after the domestic sphere. Now everyone is expected to do everything, and the 'efficiency' that once existed for...

    Why have standards?

    The difficulty is people are full of insecurities, and one of these is the fear of being judged/ evaluated. It's easy to have too high an evaluation of women and reject them for this or that reason [conveniently before they might perhaps reject you]. Often you might think less of a woman for...

    Why have standards?

    You don't want a woman that likes sex too much. Modesty [moderation] and some bashfulness though not prudery are good traits.

    Why have standards?

    Of course, the logical end point of such discussions is a return to good old-fashioned standards in all respects. And this is not sarcasm, which is probably superfluous to say coming from me.

    Should you list religion in OLD, IRL early on?

    You should be 'bombing' the local Catholic churches for a wife... not mucking around on OLD~ Edit, thought I should interrogate that word.

    Hot young girls have Power

    The ideology of a 'marketplace' is hamstringing a lot of guys here I think. Think about it, Economy, oikos, referred to the domestic sphere of life that Odysseus and his men were leaving behind on their travels. You could say that the modern turn to political economy, well back in the...

    Hot young girls have Power

    I think this needs emphasizing. A man's mind can be a conduit to the intelligible world that lies behind the seeming chaos of appearances. When women sense this, it is very attractive. Essentially, you are helping ground them.

    I'm spending hours a day on OLD. Is that an issue? Obsessed?

    The thing is it becomes a vicious circle. You spend hours scrolling through hotties on the dating apps, get frustrated, visit P site, rinse and repeat. The two are probably tied at the hip. Why not give yourself a challenge and see if you can go cold turkey... from both the apps and porn? And...

    Being single

    It's the difference between civilization and barbarism. We'd soon revert to barbarism if we didn't keep up the standards. Fascist Europe in the 30s was a reversion to barbarism.

    I'm spending hours a day on OLD. Is that an issue? Obsessed?

    Why the obsession with the HB 9 hottie? Do you consume pornography?

    You seem quite immature for a 35 year old. lol

    Being single

    OK, this should be a flashing neon sign to you. Ignore it at your peril. Your emotions are your inner core and life... despite what superficial reason [ego justification] has to say on the matter.

    Being single

    This is the 'enlightened' scientific/ sociological view from nowhere. Fact is though we can not get outside of our skins. Reason itself, if we use it, presupposes notions of normativity such as goodness, truth, beauty, unity etc. To say everything is relative is futile as it undermines its own...

    I'm spending hours a day on OLD. Is that an issue? Obsessed?

    The 'HB scale' is part of the problem. When your radar is set for 'the hottie' you probably miss out on the more worthwhile ones.... what they may lack [a little] on the HB scale, they tend to make up for in character, i.e.; not so vain and narcissistic etc. That said, this lady would be...

    I'm spending hours a day on OLD. Is that an issue? Obsessed?

    Edit. This should not be done overly consciously ala 'cold approach' [this can come across as creep mode especially for an older guy like me]. It should happen in the normal course of your day, where you spontaneously act given a set of circumstances. I call this warm approach.

    I'm spending hours a day on OLD. Is that an issue? Obsessed?

    OK, so I'm a short middle-aged man with grey hair, and if I can get a date with a woman in real life, so too can you. Walk into Starbucks. Select your target. Sit next to her, and go about your business. Do not strike up a conversation too soon. Sense if she's interested. Carry on with your...

    Hot young girls have Power

    The meaning of naive is natural. The point is to overcome and go beyond 'nature', not sink into conformity with it.
