Dating in Austin?

Online dating is not that great, to be honest. First off, it's superficial for everyone involved, so yea people want to choose their dates based mostly on physical traits. I'm everything you think women prefer on there (white, 6', 32, not fat though not athletic) and I had no issues getting dates online. One week I had five. Lots of multiple dates, and hookups, but nothing really deeper than that. A lot of my friends have the same experience. I think people, men and women, just have so many options it's hard to pick just one. My point is getting dates online maybe easier for some, but even the "ideal man" struggles. Hell, I know attractive great women who struggle with online dating. I just don't think the human brain is wired properly for it.

I'd suggest getting offline. Just last week a group of women friends who are single and attractive were complaining guys just don't approach them. Bars, parks, wherever. I think so many people do online they forgot how to just start up a conversation in real life. Just get out there and chat with women like you'd chat with a guy stranger at the bar or something. Don't make it weird, just bullshit with them and go from there.

If you want to stay online just know you probably blend in from the 100s of other men she has seen. The online dates I got I was told over and over my profile stood out because I didn't have any selfies nor did I mention "basic bitch" stuff about tacos, love of traveling, and the greenbelt. Women mentioned they thought I was fun and interesting just from my pictures. They complained about the number of selfies taken in the car or the bathroom mirror.
