    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.
