How to start a conversation when online dating?

[Yuri-G]

welp, I found a video that 100% accurately sums up how I feel about being a former "nice guy," and how my attitudes toward dating and life are changing for the better.





anyone who is anyone needs to watch that. I haven't seen a man speak so much truth in ages. nice guys are fucking assholes, really. I want to meet this man and give him money.

nice guy
cocky
asshole
friend zone
cream soda zone

I get my own zone lmao

[Yuri-G]

is cream soda zone the zone where you bike halfway across the county to get a door slammed in your face?


seems like an unpleasant zone

Read "No More Mr. Nice Guy" by Robert Glover. It's what this guy is talking about. I wouldn't be surprised if he's read it.

I like how some people think he's being arrogant or condescending. People have such thin skin and they're probably hurt because they are part of the problem as outlined by the man in the video.

While I probably straddle the line between nice guy and doormat a bit too often, being assertive and opinionated in my own ways hasn't done a whole lot when it comes to avoiding the dreaded friend zone.

tl;dr I'm not rich, bitches gettin' the fuck out.

mostly I ignore suggestions from the internet but I honest to god will read this one.


well, listen to. I found it at the library website but it's only on audiobook. I hate audiobooks but will make an exception for this one; already ordered it up.

That's pretty much it

[Yuri-G]

if it makes you feel better, I'd bang you so hard


well, you'd be the one banging me, but regardless... I have no idea what these women are thinking

It helped me a lot. I was a classic nice guy and the book really opened my eyes. It's well accredited so it's not some new-agey fake remedy. I think you'll enjoy it.

i honestly have no idea where i "fall on the scale" so to speak but tbh i dont really give a damn

Total nice guy who is occasionally evil; such as posting these pics of one of my favorite Tinder profiles ever:




The last part about her loving scooters because of her height is great.

The video posted above is pretty solid though. Self-reflection on this topic is an interesting exercise. I believe I am a legitimately kind human being, but I think that it partially derives from a sharp aversion to confrontation. In short, I'm nice because being an asshole is too much work on the backend.

I also have that aversion in general but find a solid argument with someone your S.O. to reach a resolution together can be cathartic; the passion involved I guess just really gets things going emotionally. People are attractive when smoldering lol

The thing that kills me is that you shouldn't be any type of guy. Just you. Don't look for long-term. Just look for interests. If you find more and more interests you share, it will be long-term.

I pined after girls. I was submissive and walked over. Then I got, "Fuck 'em all". My wife had to convince me to date her, we had TONS of the same interests. Been together twelve years and married for eight (beat my parents's first marriage).

I tell people I'm the nicest asshole (or nicest prick, depending on where I am) they'll ever meet.

[Yuri-G]

you sure you're not saying that you have the nicest prick they'll ever meet? because that would work pretty well I imagine.

Yuri and CS. Make it happen BG!
