(Apologies in advance for the blogpost, but it is to inform the context of the one seeking guidance, as my life has been largely atypical in this regard.)

A few years into being redpilled now, making some improvements in my life, and I've been doing a lot of self reflection. Something that I've come to realize about myself is that I have been a hopeless romantic from a very young age. Barely ever experiencing a cooties phase, I've always been taken with the beauty of woman and have desperately wanted one to call my own. One to love, to protect, to give children.

However, I didn't have a good start in life in this regard. Though a part of me still loves him, my father was a low T, hedonistic deadbeat who was eventually henpecked to divorce by my mother. I unwittingly replicated his footfalls, becoming a video gaming recluse and developing a raging addiction to extremely bizarre pornography by the age of 13, a sorry state that would continue unabated all the way through adulthood. And even before this I was a shut in on account of being homeschooled.

As such, I have daunting social anxiety and virtually zero experience with women. On the few occasions throughout my life that I came within orbit of opportunities, I dropped the ball hard out of fear, and a gross misunderstanding of how to navigate female psychology (No Rizz.) The only girl I ever dated was a brown whore who almost certainly had a triple digit body count, an ill-fated affair that gracelessly fizzled out within a month.

In my life, this has left me bitter and blackpilled about my chances with women. The eternal crybaby, I would always moan about my misfortune to anyone who would listen, cursing that my fate was to die alone as though it had already come to pass. Indeed, some of this has even dribbled into posts I've made on this very forum.

Though I've long convinced myself of my own wallowing sentiments being plain objectivity, I understand now that it's all just been miserable coping to justify never even trying anymore. Well, after waking up to many truths previously obscured, and removing the fog from my eyes by destroying my worst vices, I have now decided to emphatically say:

Fuck that.

I am 25 years of age. Despite my mental inhibitions, I am reasonably attractive, in acceptable shape and coming from a line of tall, handsome White men. I have no debt, a decent career, and a snowballing nest egg that will very likely net me a paid off homestead by as early as age 30. It's too early in life, with too many blessings therein, to give up on my greatest desire, which is a noble thing for any man to strive for.

But in this endeavor, I need help. I am still a recluse without a network or any social rituals, and I understand that this likely must change. I am willing to try anything to further my goal, to put myself out there relentlessly, but I don't know where to start.

If my single minded objective is to find a woman, how should I be spending my time? Where should I go on weekends? What hobbies, social or otherwise, should I take up? In which areas of my life should I be most directly focusing my ongoing self improvement efforts? Are dating apps worth using as a secondary angle of attack? How does courting a girl in the 21st century actually work?

You get the picture. My spirit is willing, but I am the biggest autist in normietown, completely out of my depth in this endeavor even in the most cursory matters. Please give me the advice on finding a mate that my dad never did, ConPro.

If you read this, thank you and God bless.

Nice, I've seen a couple people even here say they've had success going that route which is why I considered it.

Any advice for sites/apps to use, and how to use them successfully?

Dude, stop. Dating apps are a business. They'll show you fake profiles or "throttle" you profile (e.g. hide it from view) unless you pay. They don't make money from you if you match with the right person and quit the app. They're incentivized to keep you on the hook. "Dating" apps were designed using the same psychological manipulation as Instagram.

Don't you have a church or network of churches you can visit to find women?

Get good pictures taken. Be up front about who you are and what you're looking for. Be prepared to lower your expectations on physical looks. (Don't pick fatties but be okay with a less attractive looking woman).

Have values and stick with them. Don't focus so much on looks. And learn to talk to people. if you don't have a social hobby or job, volunteer somewhere that you constantly talk with people. For instance I work in the hospital and you can volunteer there and just talk to people stuck sick in their bed and lonely.

If I had to try again, I'd consider Bumble (women window shopping for men) or Match (used back in 2016).

Free apps will give you garbage people. Pay if you want a more serious dating pool. Be honest with describing yourself and the type of person you're looking for.

Don't try too hard / force things. Sometimes less photos is better than faked / staged photos. If you wear glasses, make sure photos of you have the glasses (it's catnip for women, especially those looking for a more intelligent male).

Ultimately: be patient and manage expectations. I had a string of conversations / first dates that went nowhere. Only when my wife found me and started talking did online dating become fun - like fishing when it's time to reel in.

Also: beware of starting up a profile until after New Years...some just use apps to "have a relationship" for appearances during the holidays.

Bumble is run by leftists for feminists.
The good news though is that you can mold them into something more tolerable.


The bad news is yeah… full of feminists

I myself never tried, the notion of "window shopping" is interesting though. Any idea if there is a similar concept ran my semi-normal people?

Yeah. It’s called dating. And there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s a vetting process.

For these people that don’t understand the concept of “vetting” in relationships, enjoy family court and visitation.

I would avoid Bumble, for reasons already stated, but also because the "women shopping for men" bit really means women sending the first message saying "Hey" and then expecting you to reply with something that doesn't give them the ick. It's the same as any other app, just with women sending a formality message to begin the conversation, so feminists can tell themselves how they're taking the initiative...

>feminists can tell themselves how they're taking the initiative

Modern problems ("OMG all men are rapists!!1!") sometimes require modern solutions (I'm "empowered" since some "creep" didn't just try to talk to me in public, like a stalker rapist!!1!).

All I know is I am happy I got out of dating a decade ago...it's not getting better.

Dating apps have a strong selection bias towards liberal women. The apps are also 90% men by userbase so the women on there will be pickier than they otherwise would be, for example rejecting anyone under 6ft by default even if they would be very happy dating someone 5'10 in real life. I don't think they are worth it, but if you do use them be honest. You will scare off the vast majority of women on the site but you're more likely to catch the fish you want. It's good to openly disqualify vaxxies and women who use social media as these are actual proxies for liberal views. I don't think filtering for religiosity is worth it as the vast majority of Christians are liberal mindslaves.

I think men make the mistake of trying to attract as many women as possible by making themselves into generic men.
