Don’t be miserable, play to your strengths, don’t play games and lie, and most of all DON’T SETTLE! When I say settle that doesn’t mean that someone is beneath you or you’re beneath them in value, what I mean is I have dated people who were a horrible match for me but I stayed with them because I was lonely. We had no common interests, conversation was difficult, and I couldn’t live true to my authentic self. That’s what settling means to me. Not being able to share the parts of me that are important to me, such as my love of the outdoors and cinema, puts such a strain on my self esteem.
I think a good point is to not date out of desperation. I’ll never again walk on eggshells around my partner constantly because I’m too afraid of being alone.
It’s a joke to convince schizophrenic men that we can still date. Women aren’t attracted to mentally ill guys. It’s just science. Women are attracted to guys that can take charge, that are dominant, assertive, etc. None of these traits are there once schizophrenia takes ahold of you. I mean, I could get into the superficial things women are attracted to in men, but I digress. Schizophrenia takes away the things that make you masculine, etc. Nothing attractive about that.
I swear, you guys here have a skewed notion of what women want thanks largely to media.
Women want real guys. Those guys can be any type. The idea of “masculine” men is pushed by marketers selling pick up advice, movies, and little girls that have no clue about life.
Well, I’m not trying to speak for all women. But also, when I speak of traits of masculinity, they tend to be more subtle than most people realize. I’m not talking about the kind of guy that shows his fragile masculinity by doing everything stereo typically seen as masculine. And sure, there are women that are are into guys that are more “soft”, eh nvm… im not gonna get into an argument with a mod…
