Guys — I know this is a sensitive question that I can’t possibly answer as a woman. But if you’ve had a hard time dating as a man, what have you done about it?

Has anyone taken dating courses? Are there any dating courses/coaches?

If anything, this thread shows him he’s not alone. Dating is hard.

I don’t think anyone should stop dating, I can only speak for myself, and it’s easy for me to say, but where is the disconnect?

Okay, let’s turn around. Men who have been dating successfully: what’s your secret?

Could it be a disconnect from yourself? Building a healthy relationship to yourself first? Then getting out there.

A DM:
“As cliche as it sounds, I stopped dating and starting working on myself (honest to god this isnt a flex) but I started working out regularly, teaching myself how to play guitar and piano (i still suck but I'm getting better) watched more movies and read more books-

its marginally improved my dating prospects but even if it didn't I am in a better place than where I started :)”

Pretty interesting anonymous DMs I’ve gotten

It all seems connected on how one views themselves.

Four very different responses

There is so much more to post. But from what I can read is that there is a lot of suffering in being lonely, and just not knowing how to approach women. I plan on making a similar thread for women.

This an interesting perspective
