Was at a friends get together and the topic of online dating

Sounds like you've got a bad case of being an idiot.

>it's like looking for a job, finding something you might like and hoping your resume passes the screening because she thinks she's entitled to something.
How is it any different from normal dating?

>if he's so perfect then they the hell did his first marriage fail within a couple years?!
Most likely she meant "perfect for her".

>Was I just giving my opinion too freely or what?
Your opinion is built on very limited understanding, and in cases like this it's better to keep it for yourself.

Wow you're embarrassing lol

Every opinion is better kept to the self. Opinions are like assholes, they're rotten, smelly, filled with parasites, and nobody likes cleaning up after them.

In short, every opinion is better kept to the self and the smartest people are usually the ones who say nothing. But boy, do you create a boring fucking society that way...

In my opinion social situations are for spewing stupid shit, where your words will not linger forever to be judged like a twitter shitpost.

>>17763315
Can't it be at least stupid shit with some factual basis? Or at least creative?

Wow and I thought I was autistic.

>>17763264
lol holy shit you sound ignorant as fuck. it's one thing to state an opinion, but another to offend people like that. you also come off as really bitter and negative, and generally unpleasant.

i'll explain some better solutions to stating your opinion without offending anyone because you sound autistic and probably need this sort of explanation.

situation 1 on the online dating thing
>"it's not my thing, i prefer to meet people in real life."
in this instance, you can focus on the positives in your opinion of meeting someone in real life vs online. it's better to speak positively about something than to bash something so negatively. you'll even probably find people agreeing with you.
>"nah all i'm probably gonna get are desperates, divorcees and flakes. plus i'm at the disadvantage for being a guy on places like that."
rather than criticizing other people for using online dating sites/apps, you're just focusing on yourself and what may possibly happen to YOU, which is probably closest to what you meant in your initial statement.

the thing with meeting people online is that there is a huge stigma already about it though it's been getting better over the years. people don't want to be judged for things like that.

situation 2 with the perfect boyfriend
>"i'm glad you're happy with him!"
don't stick your nose in other people's relationships and criticise their s/o unless it's warranted. (like if he's an abusive piece of shit.) just smile and let them be happy.
>"so when is the wedding??"
kind of a cheekier version of the above, but at least you don't sound like an asshole.

general rule of thumb when it comes to people talking about relationshits; don't waste your energy on them. they'll figure it out themselves. 99% of the time, they just want positive opinions of the person they're deeply in love with.

General rule when dealing with people: Suppress every aspect of human personality you have and every opinion you possess. Smile and nod like a baboon.

I knew it years ago, but it's not getting any better. Fuck this worthless "society".

>>17763546
Or you can simply not act autistic.

>>17763557
>implying this society isn't autistic as fuck and I don't watch people play eye contact avoid games at the local bus stop

Why not fit in?

Avoiding staring at somebody is pretty much the opposite of autism. Read up about body language.

Well, it's a pretty extreme view of online dating, and it's more of a sign of you thinking "women are the gatekeepers" than it is a sign about online dating. You sound like a bitter autist.

I'm on a couple of dating sites, and I prefer them because they're not entirely based on me not knowing jack shit about a woman and going to hit on her at a bar. It wastes less of my time, because I have an idea about her interests and I don't have to spend three dates trying to see if she sucks, or if I just think she's hot. I can tell if she's smart, an idiot, likes to do things with her life, or just wants to sit around the house all day.

There's less of a chance of me having to meet someone's "representative," plus I know to some degree that they're looking to meet someone.

You just burst out all of your weird feelings around strangers, instead of learning to read the room and get to know others gradually, like a total autist.

no, no he's right, society as a whole is fucking autistic as shit now and has gone full fucking retard.

This is why I don't take advice from armchairs on 4chan. You're all shit at it.
