OLD and why it has dramatically changed - here's an alternative

[Hamurabimbi]

I still need to get career counseling, it's a new years resolution I have

No mustache and a higher paying, more stable job. Your vibe is also not likely where it needs to be. You likely do not make an impression as a suave guy.

What’s wrong with a ‘stache?

What’s wrong with a ‘stache?

The hipsters ruined them to the point where they infer inauthenticity (i.e., with a lot of dudes it was the only manly thing about them)

Imagine Michael Jackson with a stache. Now imagine 10 million of him.

Well as far as fundamentals, what would I most need to work on?

What Pierce said and also thirst reduction. Go see an escort to get your mind right.

I'm not going to use an escort, I've already discussed elsewhere on this forum why I won't

Just occurred to me you have another thread where you’ve asked the same questions repeatedly, I suggest you co tú us this line of discussion there.

Are you in the best shape possible?

Is your haircut on point?

Do you dress to impress?

When you see a guy in public with a woman you wish you could be sleeping with do you look even remotely close to the way he does?

Women have never been willing to settle for less than they are right now in terms of a man. It's almost pathetic what they will "go for" despite the number of people who claim it's so hard to find women.

Literally if you have any job, drive a decent car, dont live in your Mom's basement and aren't desperate/needy you already have 80% of your competition beat.

The standards women have for guys they will actually date is about as low as they can get. Sorry to burst the bubble of people thinking it's hugely difficult out there. It's not. You may have lots of competition, but that competition should be very easy to separate yourself from for the most part.

I have seen more attractive women with dudes that are nothing special to look at, don't have money and really have not much going for them then ever. It's almost like their standards are so low that they think anything above the bare minimum is too good to be true and that a "normal guy" that has a job, car and his own place is like a winning lottery ticket.

The thing most people also don't understand that as much as it's a numbers game in OLD, it's also a disqualification game. Women have to find reasons to disqualify men based on some set of criteria because they simply cannot handle as many messages as they get. Especially if they are attractive.

Too many men make it far too easy for women to disqualify them. That's where the majority of guys could improve on the most if they are struggling. Stop disqualifying yourself within the first 3 dates, or worse, before you even get her out on a date.
