I recently re-entered the dating pool for the first time in a decade and it’s incredible how much attention I get from just appearing clean, having my shit together, and not posting a picture with me holding a fish. Never got so much attention from women before in my life. Had a date in like one week.

The bar is very, very low. I am sorry, ladies out there.

Lots of women who I know and date say “the bar is in hell.” Fr just be a functional adult with good hygiene and emotional intelligence and you are in the top 1%.

and emotional intelligence

Thank you for telling me I'm unfit.

say “the bar is in hell.”

This reads like a joke or an exaggeration, but it's really there.

appearing clean

It means he's attractive.

having my shit together

It means he has money.

If you lack both of these, it's going to be rough.

I'm friends with several women: no it doesn't, and no it doesn't.

Having your shit together means your room doesn't have a pile of garbage building on the floor. It means you've hung up 1 piece of art to make your white walls more interesting. It means your carpet was washed within the last 3 months.

Yours is the exact attitude that causes women to flee. Bitterness is not attractive.
