Dating

The upper one depicts the guys around me. I Gan go through the lower one, but the result is usually this.

now imagine being gay and the dating pool is 90% smaller.

[walrusdragononabike@reddthat.com]

Be ace and the dating pool is 100% smaller.

[krafting@lemmy.world]

Be me and the dating pool is 200% smaller.

[stinky@redlemmy.com]

Aro/ace: "good".

[emi@ani.social]

I'm bi myself and a shut in. How do you find people in general I don't know.

[koboldcoterie@pawb.social]

I swear this has the opposite effect. In more than one instance, I've told someone I'm ace and it's made them more persistent, like they're thinking 'Oh, I can fix that.' No, I assure you, you can't. Please stop.

From what I understand if you just stay in front of the computer that they will magically manifest inside your home.

[foxyferengi@lemm.ee]

I miss acedatespace. There's acespace.love, but that's more like people shouting into the void than an actual dating site.

[emi@ani.social]

Amazing, I'll just keep doing that thanks.

I did a calculation once about my chances of finding a compatible long-term partner, based on the Drake Equation Drake Equation and many many assumptions. The numbers are not good: ~22 out of 8 billion.

[deestan@lemmy.world]

I've heard that it also goes faster if you complain about women being evil and stupid on the computer.

[wartowel@lemmy.world]

So you're saying there's a chance

[usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca]

Better start learning the most popular languages. Odds are most of those 22 don't speak English.

When you find a (rare!) female online, you must protect her at all costs. She will be surrounded by ne'er-do-wells and men of ill-intent. You are her knight. She is your lady. You must never doubt yourself in this. Nature will take its course.

That's when you start negging her.

[trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world]

Yall need to lower your expectations god damn

[boreengreen@lemm.ee]

If you like each other and you share most values, there is your partner. If your partner is good looking as well; great for you guys!

[edgemaster72@lemmy.world]

I only need to make 1 assumption to solve that equation for me

0% of people would find me attractive

QE fucking D

[recklessengagement@lemmy.world]

I'm curious about the math you did to come to that final number

[zron@lemmy.world]

As a married man, I gotta say you’re probably selling yourself short or have unrealistic expectations of a partner.

Remember that whoever you’re going to date is a person, not a robot. People are not quantifiable. One day they may be a dick, the next they may be pleasant. Some people are willing to compromise and others aren’t. Man, woman, or other, it doesn’t matter. If you’re not willing to compromise something, you’re never going to find someone.
