Is it true that it helps males to have pictures of them with attractive females on their profile?

I understand what you're saying. I've met crazy guys, through my friend group as well, and they just get kicked out. They have no problem getting dates though. So I imagine girls meet crazy guys. As in sociopaths and (real) narcs. They do seem to go for those guys.

I realize why you are giving me this advice but I'm just not really capable of lying about these things. I really just don't care to. And really would like to find someone I can be open and honest with. Still if I'm going to bother to try I guess it's best to... What? Don't talk about these things with a girl I like?

I'm not even sure if I should bother. I'm rather scared, on a deep internal level, of the damage women can (and will) cause to my life. I'm not sure where to try to talk about it. Back in 2013 I tried finding somewhere and guess what? Ended up at MRA sites and the red pill. Their advice is to have casual sex with loose women. Oh that is terrible advice. Maybe it works for some guys but not for me. It simply doesn't work. I have zero interest in a sexual relationship until there is an emotional connection. The other advice is to just not date at all. Which is where I'm at now. Trying to figure out some way around it.

My first ex died from cancer. She called me years ago and we chatted for awhile. I was still friends with the second ex, over Facebook, until I deleted my Facebook. She got married earlier this year. She's a professor in Wisconsin now. Third ex is the only one that's really crazy. Very slick and convincing liar living some bizarre empty life. Back in 2013 she told me she is a monster that consumes the people around her. Ok? Thanks for telling me after :/

I am a bit crazy. I'd prefer to be able to talk about it. As I'm not a stranger to my own inner world. And I've been to plenty of therapy. I've found its better to find a friend on a mental health forum. Many of those people are the very therapists you will see. And I've read tons of that fields books anyway.

Who knows? Best to just focus on me. I'm simply not willing to lie or hide things. Probably bad since I'm so old. When you meet people in RL they don't hear any of these things. Problem is you don't hear any of there crap as well.

Hey thanks for listening. Merry Christmas!
