So, invited this chick out from work on Valentines day. Wined and dined her, cost me nearly 200 bucks. Followed her home, got a kiss on my cheek. Wtf!
That aint right.
>>
>what is prostitution
>>
Could've used that 200 on a 3 some of hookers. Kiss on the cheek, lol. Idk if that's going anywhere relationship wise.
>>
$200 could have bought a lot of booze
>>
>>8583851
At least you learned your lesson
>>
>>8583851
You got scammed, women are Nigerian Prince teir scammers. The only reason why is because dummies like you who think that women are money in, sex out vending machines. I would never spend $200 in a women unless she was a prostitute. Do you realize how many free dinners women get every year just going on dates, Ive known girls who would go on dates just cause they didnt want to cook that day.

>paying for women in 2017
Why do men refuse to use feminism to erase the shitty double standards that effect them too? If she bitched about it then you probably could have done better anyway and would have saved yourself money.

Maybe she won't sell her out too cheap?
>>
>>8583851
Live and learn. If you don't have a lot of disposable income it's probably best to only drop your money on a chick who you're pretty certain is interested in you. If you're not sure you go out for coffee/drinks to find out. The only reason to drop a couple hundred dollars taking some girl out to dinner is because you find that in itself a pleasure. Having expectations beyond that is foolish. If a girl wants to fuck you it doesn't take all that much cajoling to get her to do so. If she doesn't want to fuck you she probably won't, regardless of how much you spend on her. At best you'll get a pity fuck. Totally not worth it if that's your endgame.
>>
>>8583995
This, you dumbass. A co-worker you have to see daily has already friendzoned you. Shes not going to fuck you on a first date, even the kiss was probably awkward as fuck for her, but she knew you spent a lot and felt pressured. She did not consider this a "date" at all, she more likely thought you wanted a friend to keep him from being lonely on Valentine's Day. Sex was not in the plan for her from the very start. And you totally failed to arouse her interests with your boring ass conversation, so she bailed quickly. Now have fun working with this bitch for the rest of your days, you've got 40 hours a week, every week, to be embarrassed around her. You got used.

>>
>>8584061
You fucked up then. After a few missteps as a young romantic I learned how to deal with them. Charm them by getting under their skin. Be as likely to needle them for your own amusement as you are to praise them. Give them attention sometimes, and make them work for your attention other times. Make them realize from the start they have to put some effort into keeping you around, because you have no intention on just doting on anyone. That not only makes her value you more, but it makes her more open to yielding to your will. And you exert that for your own pleasure, rewarding her with attention and actually listening to (and even remembering) the shit she says. Because most of what she wants is validation, and if she thinks your validation is something special and a little hard to get she'll happily trade whatever sexual shit you're into for that. She'll even love doing so.

I don't know if it's a cultural thing but women are, in my experience, pretty great. I've been cheated on by someone I loved, sure, sucks balls. On the other hand, I've dated some extremely loyal and cool girls, slept with a ton of whom over 80% are genuinely good people and maintain at least half a dozen good relationships with good looking, educated and ethical girls.
I know everyone here is an autistic neckbeard or a poltard simmering with impotent/incel rage so you can just avoid my post and keep circlejerking your "women are evil hores" mantra with the other lonely bastards but you're only shooting yourselves in the feet.
>>
>>8584051
Back to /r9k/.

Yes it's embarrassing to get turned down but it happens to most people. And only someone as autistic as you would obsess over it for the the rest of the time he's working with her.

>>8584025
This anon has it.
Expecting anything cause you paid for dinner would turn most people off when you think about it. As well, if she perceives you as a friend from the start then you probably never have a shot.

If you have to wait and warm up to someone before you can gather the confidence to ask them out, they had better be as lacking in confidence as you. They'll either note your lack of confidence which is not attractive; or, alternatively, she feels like an afterthought since you haven't tried asking her out before now (exacerbated by it being Valentines Day).

Better luck next time, OP.
>>
>>8584130
Are you kidding? They're fucking lovely. But like poorly disciplined dogs they can be awful to be around if you don't know how to handle them. You have to set the expectations they live up to. Let it be the other way around and you'll be screwed.

That's so not true. A chick who is into you will fuck you without even going on a date. But there is something to be said for teasing things out a little bit. They like the dance.
>>
>>8583851
>cost me nearly 200 bucks.

A woman’s courtship value is equal or less than the lowest price she ever gave her pussy away for.

After a woman has had a one-night stand
or given her pussy for free
her courtship value
is 0.
or less than 0.

As why would you want to be the guy
who pays for what others got when it was younger hotter tighter
forty pounds lighter
for freeee?

After a woman passes 25, whence she has generally been buttcocked numerous times and desouled, her courtship value is negative.
>>
>>8584189
Disagree entirely. If she turns your crank and you can maintain the upper hand with her she's worth the time. Getting serious with a woman under 25 is a good path to heartbreak, because most young chicks can't keep focus for very long. They're fun to play with (and completely seductive) but not the best idea to take all that seriously.

The women I lived with were fun and not slobs. I didnt give a fuck what they did during there free time.

It might be a cultural thing. I know people in North America tend to manipulate/use people more then other places. Men do this too btw, leading women on by making them think they want a relationship, then dumping them once theyre bored of the sex.

>>8584225
So you're a perfect example of the double standard. Fair enough, as it makes biological sense. Whether or not I respect a girl has nothing to do with whether or not I date and sleep with them. It has an effect on how seriously I'll take them, but that's something that happens over time and has nothing to do with dating in my view. I was dating a few different girls when I stumbled across my wife - she just ended up being the one I respected the most over time, so she's the one I kept.

For what? Like I said, it's just sex and dating. Whether or not you decide to take any particular girl you're having sex with seriously is something that you decide over time. And you can take your time with that. That will allow you to assess actual red flags instead of penalizing a chick for finding you attractive, which is silly.
>>
>>8584366
I'm not trying to convince you anymore. I think you realize how what you're doing is unsustainable. Like it said, you're probably misanthropic. Other families will outlive your bloodline.

Having a family has many benefits. This is just one of them, and an important one. Social security, pensions and retirement are relatively new concepts to the human race that didn't exist until a hundred years ago and they might not exist when you reach old age. Having a family guarantees you won't die of hunger when you're 80, if you raise them right and instill good values in them, which clearly your parents didn't do.

Father was a "lion" at the hieght of his power who build up a bunch of wealth and influence to pass on to his children thus continuing his legacy.

Oh, give it a fucking rest. People don't have a goddamned "legacy." Do you remember your great grandfather? Can you tell me a story about him? I can barely tell you jack shit about mine besides he was an alcoholic and a stern man.

The same little shit you pop out is likely gonna go do the same fucking thing all of his peers do. Spend 18 years in education, graduate, and go work in middle management, maybe a slightly better position.

Don't get me wrong, I think humanity can aspire to a greater ideal, and I admire people who have kids and raise them to be good people and help those aspirations, but 90% of you "YOU MUST HAVE KIDS" people are either just racist and worried that humanity won't be predominately white anymore, or are literally being self-serving, expecting their kids to be their safety net in the future instead of working for it.

I see parents who quit working as soon as their kid was old enough to work, and then they guilt him/her into half of their income. Or parents who shit out kid after kid and fall into poverty, dooming their kids to do the same thing unless they fucking break their back to fight out of it. What kind of "legacy" is that?

I wasn't the one quoting the bible. But whatever. If you'd like to think there's some greater purpose to our existence you're free to have that belief. But thinking we're any better than any other animals seems silly to me. Yeah, we developed the ability to pass knowledge down from one generation to another, which gives us all kinds of cool shit. But I don't see how that manages to give us meaning.
>>
>>8584585
Taking care of yourself by having children is correct. Taking care of yourself by biting a bullet when you literally can't get out of your couch and leaving your rotting festering body for the state to clean up is immature. I get being an individual but families are collective and they can take care of each other. It's not a bad thing to rely on your own family. It's much worse to rely on the state. If you're some kind of rich kid you should realize that your problems are not like everyone else's problems.

You tell me to act like an adult, thats funny. Raising children a family is one of the most adult things a person can do.

I know alot about my great grandparents. They raised my dad, because my grandparents were junkies who died young. I also know that they were poorer than dirt, but they raised my father to be ambitious and independent, now he owns his own business and is very successful.

This is what I hate about my fucking generation, they lack any sort ambition. They are content with what they have, making no efforts better themselves.

Dont know where I end up, sure as hell wont be middle management for 18 god damn years.

You benefit from generations before you "bettering themselves", so you hold that as a value. Some of us don't give a fuck about values.

Exactly. My dad is an awesome dude, and unfortunately, my mom is dying of lupus. I'm going to be there for them to the degree that I can help, but also, they're not in any way expecting that I let them move into my house, or that I clean them, or anything like that.

Right now, grandma is in a nursing home, and we help a bit, and come to visit, but we live across the country and she doesn't want to come here, so she's where she's going to be, using her own money for it.

Having kids should NOT be your backup plan. If you can't afford to live the rest of your life, it's not their burden to do it. Save the hundreds of thousands kids cost and put it into a retirement fund.

I personally have a solid amount of ambition. I make nearly $100k a year, and will continue to climb in my profession over the years.

But, I'm going to use that money to see what the world has to offer, and enjoy my free time, as opposed to locking myself down with children.

Plus, "bettering yourself" is purely subjective. Do you measure that solely by financial gain? If so, that's shortsighted.

I don't even know what "bettering yourself" is supposed to mean. When I hear people say it they usually refer to getting a degree and then some kind of boring but lucrative job. I have a degree and my job may not be all that lucrative, but it isn't boring. The friends of mine who have the boring but lucrative jobs are pretty miserable. And they spend way too many hours of the week at those jobs. To what end? A bigger house and more expensive car? I don't need that shit.

Bettering oneself means putting effort into something other than an endless consumption entertainment and pleasure your whole life. It means being as physically fit and healthy as you can be. It means constantly developing your profession, hobbies and skills. As well as learning and developing new skills along the way. It means setting goals for yourself, and then reaching those goals.

Anime is my hobby and watching more anime makes me better at this hobby. I don't see working out as a way of bettering myself.
>>
>>8584721
Anime is entertainment. Watching anime is not a hobby, it is consumption of entertainment. You cannot get better at watching anime.

However, creating and writing anime is a hobby, you can get better a creating and writing anime.

That's operating on the assumption your future self will want the things your current self aspires to. Take this guy >>8584656 for example. He's doing great, and hopes to see what the world has to offer. But by the time he has the leisure time to do that he'll be an old man. Will he even still be capable of seeing much of the world then? Or still have the passion to do so? Will what he manages to see then have justified the majority of his life devoted to making six figures?

So explain to me why life is supposed to be more satisfying because I grind away constantly at work, with no time to enjoy myself? In order to get more shit? Just like the other guy said... what's the point?

Working harder for more money and working to be "as physically fit and healthy" as you can be means you're sacrificing your relationships with others to work on "betterment."

I'd rather have a short life that was very satisfying, where I saw everything, than a long life in which I focused on my career and health only to spend the final 30 years of my life sitting in front of the TV, unequipped to do anything, while my kids wipe my ass.

While I agree with your argument, I'm only 30, and have recently shifted to a new job with a heavy amount of flexibility. If I had stuck with the previous role, I'd probably be making somewhere between $200-300k per year, but I'm not chasing that guy's "betterment" dream. Making what I make now would be solid for a very long time, especially as a single guy with no kids to need to take care of. I get to travel at least once a month, if not twice, I get off at noon on Fridays, I work from wherever I want.

It took hard work and a focus on "betterment," but it isn't my singular obsession, like our friend seems to think. I'll happily enjoy my life without kids and all of the freedom in the world to find my own fulfillment.

But if you invite someone out shouldn't you pay?

Good for you. I'm in my late 40's and spent the last couple decades basically living out my dreams. If I were to get into the specifics you guys would call bullshit on me. So let's say I've done a bunch of things most folks only dream of doing. Now I look in the mirror at the grey haired fucker staring back at me and think, "What the fuck do I do next?"

If you dont enjoy your profession, you should be working towards one that intrests you.

How is having a healthy body and maintaining physical fitness in anyway not enjoyable to life. Its proven that good exercise and healthy eating is good for metal health.

I never said devote your entire time to work. You should also have hobbies. Hobbies that you can develop and get better at are far more rewarding that mindlessly consuming entertainment and pleasure. That being said you shouldnt cut out all entertainment, it just should be your goal, or take up most of your free time.

It's easy to say "work towards one that interests you" when at the end of the day, you need to put food on the table and a roof over your head. It also doesn't help me that I'm in a job which is heavily in demand, meaning when people look at my resume, they want me to do what I've been doing. I've got ten years of experience, so it's not like I can just easily pivot and make a change. The best I can do is find a job that slightly lets me do some of the things I want to do.

Health isn't a bad thing, but focusing on it as a primary goal is a detriment to spending time with people. If you have a 9+ hour workday, and then 2 hour gym visit (including commute here), you're looking at a minimum of 11 hours left available for sleep, friends, and hobbies.

I find spending time with my friends more fulfilling than any hobby I could spend time with.

no thanks

Did you just now after 10 years decide that you find no enjoyment in your work. Its never easy to switch careers, but people have done it. If you have passion for something else, you should go for it.

You dont need 2 hrs at the gym every day. 45 min if strenuous activity a day is all thats needed.

Alot of the friends I have share the same hobbies I have. You can make new friends with hobbies to. Bonding over a common intrest in something grows a stonger relationship than just getting wasted and hanging out.

Nothing assholish about it. It's just being fair. It's saying this is what I expect out of you if you'd like me to stick around and consider not fucking other people. If that's what you want this is what you have to do.
>>
don't try to force your expectations on others, you will fail forever and get more bitter about it everytime.
some of you guys need to relax.
