Maybe consider going out with women who aren't your type, just to see how it goes, and have "risk free" practice? 

I met my wife when I was uninterested in starting a new relationship, was able to be completely myself, turned out being myself was the key to a good relationship.

Overall my issue over these past few years was never talking to women but being open and available to a relationship.

Before my mom got her psychosis ~10 years ago I was really finding my footing. Girls I was hanging out with would outright tell me what to fix (better clothes, eat more, let me cook for you, drink less, learn these dance moves), to make them (more) interested but I didn't want to share that type of life and drama with anyone. Dad got a heart attack during that same time too so it was mostly up to me to handle everything. I was lucky that I could find a place of my own fairly easiliy but apart from having friends put together Ikea stuff I had to figure out everything on my own. There was really no: "your parents come visit you for tea and biscuits every week because they're curious to see how you are holding up" type of situation. The ladies in my life were asking if they should wear red or blue while I was preventing mom from jumping out of a window. My bro left for Canada mostly because of that. Just to be away from it all, because he couldn't cope.

Next came COVID, just when I was out and about again but the vaccine triggered a bad case of rosacea as a side effect. While some acne from time to time was manageable and no dealbreaker, this was 10x 20x worse. The point where people thought I had some kind of skin cancer. It took about 2 years of anti-biotics and roaccutane to fix. I was all set for my summer vacation 3 years ago, there was a very nice girl over from Georgia to learn a thing or two about online marketing from us. Yet again disaster struck, my dad went through a battle with pancreatic cancer but he stuck his head in the sand and didn't arrange anything for my mom. So in the hospital he panicked and nearly died realizing that he couldn't take care of her in the state he was in and there was no help.

The girl from Georgia jumped up with joy whenever I asked her if she wanted to help run an errand and if it was just me and her. She even visited my town as a surprise hoping to meet up because I told her about the beach and restaurants and everything but I was in the hospital that day. And I didn't want to ruin her good summer with such terrible things so I kept her somewhat in the dark. While she is still friends and a co-worker explained what I was dealing with, I could tell I had dissapointed her and that kind of closed the book on starting anything. This one I regret not acting on the most even if just for a summer fling, because not only is she pretty but a walking piece of art. She has a unique sense of melancholy, style and character. Literally caught between the old Soviet bloc, the modern world and some pagan witchcraft from her grandmas side. Most people thought it was weird to see a girl in 2021 dress up like it was the 80s or 90s. And Dutch people being direct they would ask her if she knew what year it was. But all I needed to do was look in her eyes to be captivated and see the wheels of time.

After that things calmed down a little but I had a lot of catching up to do in terms of building the business. The family though, not so great, last year two uncles passed away and moms best friend who was basically my godmother and early this year my mother lost her sister too, who never recovered from the COVID anxiety, remained in lockdown and basically starved herself to death. The funeral was just depressing, there is bad blood between all the remaining sisters, it lasted about 15 minutes, the town had to pay for it because she wasn't insured. She had 2 children, none showed, no one touched any of her stuff or mementos because no one wanted to be responsible for her debts.

So now mom is back at the psyche ward again and I've set boundaries. I'll do two visits a week but I'm not going there every day for weeks, months again.
No easy decision either, during the intake with the psychiatrist they asked if she wanted to kill herself and if there was still anything in life that made her happy and she said those were my visits.

I nearly balked on asking the redhead out because mom took a turn for the worse the weekend after the party. Given all the death and disease I've seen and sacrifices I've made saying "No" is really the worst she could do.

When I got the call this week I was in a meeting with a good client of ours (another redhead go figure) and I told her I had to go because I had to take my mother to the psyche ward and briefly explained the situation. And she sort of teared up as I explained and really needed a moment to process it. She send me a nice email afterwards with all the talking points I missed, words of support, heartfelt wishes and whatnot. Overall I feel I've done right by my parents and I have no regrets about doing the right thing but now it is time to start building my own life again. Considering what I've been through I realized that there isn't anything that can make me give up or stop what I'm doing anyway.

For 2025 I've set two goals, visit my brother in Canada because I've never traveled that far and find a nice girlfriend who wants to enjoy life.

Again, that means something VERY different in Australia. Hilariously so in this context!

After fiddling with the interests a bit I got some better options yesterday. Before I mostly got the girls that they make in factories here.
- First picture is 3 of them, so you don't know which one it is
- Blonde, short, slightly overweight but a decent rack
- Hit the wall like a bus
- Overly active (6 sports, Ibiza festivals)
- Hobby: Drinking wine, traveling (alone)
- Job: some corporate buzzword
- Location: Amsterdam (or one of the suburbs)
- Pictures mostly show how much they can party and travel, with the face of the previous chad or sugar daddy crossed out poorly

Some really weird ones too. "I ONLY DATE TO MARRY" repeated 10 times in the bio, ok, have fun, jeez. 

Issue with the algorithm was I put Ambition as one of my interests, that attracts them like flies for some reason.
Plus I put too much focus on my Switzerland trip in the photos and Switzerland = money.
I also replaced sarcasm with playfulness as things I was looking for and reduced the range so the top paying Amsterdam sluts don't dominate the local girls.

That got me some better results, like a programmer from a competing company I recognized  (no, too risky), some chick with red hair into sci-fi and dnd who only had pics of herself indoors and one into thrillers.  

Gave one girl from a town close by a Super Swipe yesterday, she had very pretty bright eyes and a very nice and unique dress in her last picture. I liked her overall attitude in the bio too.

I really need to get some better pictures though, I have decent pics of myself but few where I'm doing activities that aren't from a 'first person' perspective, because this applies:

I just randomly remembered a memory of me pretending to fix a router issue.

At the time I was a boss on dos™.

So we were at a family gathering, and they're like the computers being funny.

So I loaded up my skillset, booted up the computer and realized I had no idea how to troubleshoot.

I spent the next five or ten minutes running /ipconfig and ping so that stuff was happening on the screen.  




it was one of those sharkray modems from att so in hindsight that's probably what was fucking up.

[killamajig]

I just recently bought a car and I'm not used to where all the controls are yet. I was at the grocery store and I just loaded all my groceries in the trunk and I got in the car and accidentally hit the trunk release and it popped open again. I went out to close it and there was a lady looking at me so I acted like I had to rearrange stuff in the trunk so she wouldn't think I accidentally opened it up. I have no idea why I did that. She probably didn't know and she probably didn't care and I don't know why I cared. LOL

I do that all the time. 



You should asked her for her number, and arranger her groceries.

[Nintex]

I think some of these chicks are faking it till they're making it because there is no just way the lifestyle they're describing is real.

You can't boulder, tennis, ski, dance, walk 2 dogs, volunteer, yoga, pilates, crossfit, hike, visit beaches, help the community, read, watch movies and be in a band all at the same time while you're working some kind of demanding corporate job. It's just not possible. Especially combining it with traveling across the globe and political activism. And if they do manage it, no wonder they all look like they're about to keel over from their ACTIVE life. Is this what men want? ACTIVE women in tune with their nature? Apparently not because at 35 they're still single and without kids looking for an ACTIVE guy.

I know some people live way more demanding lifestyles than I do hitting the gym daily and whatnot because I'm just lazy outside of work but this is insane. 
At times Bumble is like a LinkedIn with more personal photos.

I do appreciate some of the girls that recognize what the others are doing and put down things like: "I listen to music, sometimes volunteer at the pet zoo and read (but I read A LOT so that's all I do)" they get an instant like from me and in general look way healthier than most of the ACTIVE types who all look like they're about to turn into zombies.

Nintex going full Jonkler just 2 days into the dating apps grind

[Besticus Maximus]

The best advice any can give you on the apps:

- Don't be weird.
- Don't be needy.
- Don't get invested in possibilities until you've met them at least once.
- Your photos are literally the only thing women have to go off so you simply must force yourself to get good photos where you look normal, fun, interesting and kind. You need to show you are able to interact with people but also you need to show them what you look like, in totality, with no hiding stuff.
- If you aren't getting any interest you need to keep shuffling the pack until you have a profile that shows you're normal, safe, attractive and drama free. If you aren't these things then you need to be them or it's a non-starter.

Fuck I'm glad I never had to do online dating. Shit sounds horrendous.

[Nintex]

Nintex going full Jonkler just 2 days into the dating apps grind

I dunno, I think some of those chicks aren't really looking for anything but just want to be up there to show guys what they're missing out on or something.

Here is an example of what I was talking about

Here is one with just a few interests that likes to stay at home. Again in my solid 7 ballpark, her other pictures were much like this as well so I don't think she's faking anything.

Next we have this person. About 20 different interests, sports, political things, travel, veganism and whatnot. Very ACTIVE. 5 years younger(!) and looks like this.

That's a hard living 29 year old. Are they into all those activities now because they were human trash bags in their early 20s?

[Uncle]

- Don't be weird.
- Don't be needy.

- don't be vain
- don't be whiny
- or else my brother I might have to get medieval on your hiney

[Polident]

tbh online dating sounds like a nightmare based on friends feedback and I’m concerned one day I will try seriously. I’m old internet so social networks beyond handles and relative anonymity and triggers those flight responses. And as said, it like applying for jobs rather than any natural connection. Marketing yourself and playing the numbers game.

This is many years ago, but friends convinced me to try bumble back when like Pokémon Go was a thing. Made a shitpost profile with some real photos. After three days of observing the matches and messages I was getting, found it so weird and deleted it. Not falling for these honeypots unless they look like Vesper Lynd.

[Uncle]

not caring (if you actually don't care) and having zero expectations seems to be the best option, as long as there isn't a deluge of dumb spam and catfishing, pig butchering or whatever you want to call it

[Cauliflower Of Love]

By arrange her groceries I was alluding to tossing her salad.

Just in case no one caught that.

[Uncle]

yeah and then maybe she'll invite you over to her place and you can  alphabetize her laundry

I think it's the sun from the Ibiza parties or whatever, the left wing politics and the veganism.
But many are like this, like I said they've all turned into zombies.

Better to find those preserved at home. One of my co-workers has a girl just like that. She lived in another city, moved to live with him within 6 weeks of them dating because she liked his smaller town a lot better than the big city she lived all her life and she wanted to move away. Her big thing is building LEGO sets and Ikea stuff, easy for gifts too and she's social enough that she likes to go out and have drinks.

Another co-worker of mine also caught a nerd. She was really down on dating because guys would pretend to be nerds just to date her and then she'd find out all they wanted to do was fuck her brains out, thankfully nothing happened but she was spooked obviously. So it took him a lot of effort to convince her over the dating app to actually meet up. But it was still all kind of new to him and when she asked what they were going to do he said: "We're going to eat pancakes" and that's when she knew he was the real deal. She's heavily into Disney stuff but not in a weird way. Big thing was she didn't want to travel and he wanted to see the world but they found a solution for that too, trips to all the Disney parks. So they do these 10 day group travel arrangements so she feels comfortable enough and then there is plenty of time for sightseeing in between the Disney park visits.

Also these apps do make it easier to see who is available locally because post #metoo that is often difficult to figure out with total strangers. Today I already walked into one of them on my way to the bakery this morning. She briefly stopped and said hi when she seemingly recognized me and then continued running with a bunch of boxes under her arm, she works in one of the clothing stores here.

Overall I'm actually not dissapointed in what's out there right now in my area. Co-worker gave me the tip to make the nerdiness stand out more in terms of interest and really commit to it by actually naming stuff like Nintendo, Nolan and LOTR and whatnot, which is kind of ironic because that's the thing you usually try to hide a little or prioritize lower. 

So based on what he said I changed my profile from something like:
"I'm an amibitious tech guy that wants to go out, have fun and also enjoys to stay at home and watch a movie or play a game"

To:

"I'm looking for a cute/pretty nerd/house sparrow(which is kind of a phrase they use to describe themselves in Dutch) who also likes to go on trips and do activities with her handsome tall prince and travel to places that don't require the physique or skill of an olympian from time to time. Swipe right to start this fun adventure!" or something to that effect with a list of interests.

I suppose I also need to highlight the nerdy stuff like actually watching a movie or playing a game or whatever to make it more authentic. While the Hans Zimmer concert photo is nice, it doesn't quite do the trick. First I thought it would scare them away but then I started noticing that on these girls profiles, there is usually a picture of them with their interests in the background. So a giant bookshelf stacked with Harry Potter books, a giant Anime poster or gaming merchandise. Again something I would usually not want to put front and center looking for a date but in this case I guess it makes sense. After all if they can't really see that you like to stay at home and play video games and watch movies as much as they do, they won't see a reason to start a chat and meet up. Sort of like a dog person not showing a picture of a dog. And I'm doing it for all the other stuff already like the cozy coastal town with the beach, fancy dinners and the fun office parties so why not for the thing that would appeal to them more. So tommorow, I'll take a picture in front of the 4K Blu Ray bookcase holding a collectors edition of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" or whatever so they can see I'm really into this stuff.

It then hit me that this is also what those 35 year old single busy women that want to have kids are doing wrong. They're not showing that they want to have kids, they are showing their busy and active lives and guys that want a family want the mother to care for the baby, not in the gym with chad or taking up another hobby.

Of course this does limit my appeal to just nerds but that's probably what would work out best anyway and a relationship with someone who hates that kind of thing wouldn't pan out.

God, I hope that's a euphemism.

 yes I know I'm walking into a minefield here but that is sort of my thing when it comes to dating. I found myself flirting with moms adorable night nurse thinking: noooo don't do that you moron. But again just another very interesting girl, wearing a western like outfit with cowboy boots, sporting pitch black hair and working only night shifts. Almost a Tarantino type character.

Looking at Facebook pictures from 10 - 15 years ago young Nintex had a lot of rizz. He would've had no problem taming the Ibiza girls that now seem challenging. Even I'm surprised at what I pulled back then if I look at the people tagged in those pics.
