I was broke in college yet never had any problems getting dates/hook-ups/FWBs. Made them pay for their own date, no car, no place (besides during the school year a shared tiny dorm), etc. Nowadays I feel a lot more “impressive”. I can drive so my range of options are a lot higher, I bought a townhome in the good part of the city, I can afford to pay for fun dates, etc etc. In college I always imagined how much better dating would be when I’m on my feet, but now that I am, I feel like I did a lot better for myself when I was broke and young (which seems very strange to me). Perhaps it’s the area I’m in now? Anyone else have that experience? #dating Age: 24 TC: 230K, MCOL
If it’s online dating through apps, it’s gonna be same lol.
Yeah because now you’re older, women are older, they want commitment, they aren’t stupid. FWB is for children. It should be the same if you are serious about actually dating them.
OP is 24 lol he's not that old and a good part of his dating pool probably isn't even done with school yet.
Hmm yeah ok, point taken. A big part of the college hookup scene is parties where everyone is trying to fuck. Maybe go to some bars idk. Try Edgewood ave… Church etc. But also in my experience the Atlanta scene is a lot of grungy divey bars and a lot of people doing amateur art. Maybe that scene would be good
Definitely easier now that I can afford whatever dates, gifts, etc without having to think about it, but I wouldn't say it makes me more "attractive" or gets me higher quality dates.
On a normal Internet forum this would be a valid question, but on blind this is a cringe flex
Dating gets harder after schooling is complete. You have to put efforts to meet single people at places other than work
Has nothing to do with TC - has everything to do with the environment you’re in. College life is nothing like where you’re at now….
Never had a problem. I pulled when I was in college, I pulled when I got a job and great TC. I still pull now, but ignore it
Dating in your mid 20s out of college is the hardest time in my experience. Once you are in your late 20s or early 30s it gets easier again. Not to say it cannot be done obviously it can. But I get 2x the dates now without trying. Compared to trying relatively hard in my mid 20s.
It's not the money that's changed things. It's that for younger girls, you're old and not a student. For older women, you're a fucboi and not what they're looking for. It's the women that's changed relative to your age. They don't like what you offer as much.
Lol what? Are we just forgetting he can date women close to his own age
you’re both right but new’s point is (US specific AF) 22-25 is a weird gray areaa for guys in dating
what is the area you’re in now? can’t answer without that
Atlanta OTP. Think Marietta
