times I have been successful: 1) wearing trashbag, 2) wearing a nerd costume, 3) wearing the ugliest fit I could find

I think he may be onto something

Just gotta keep it weird but not creepy weird.

For those unsure. Often the difference is the displayed confidence. If you're showing embarrassment or are unsure, it quickly becomes creepy. If you own it with confidence, then it projects "screw the norms, I'm good enough to ignore them", which is attractive to a lot of women.

The confidence doesn't have to be real either. The difference between fake and real is entirely in your own head. No-one can tell, unless you let them.

Often the difference

That often is an important distinction here. I've definitely had people very confidently creep me the fuck out with their weird bullshit. Honestly sometimes it makes it so much worse.

or it drifts into arrogance, then you're attracting an entirely different type of person

Ahhhh, that's where I went wrong.

I was Shrek for Halloween and suddenly got a lot more attention so maybe I should be Shrek all the time?

Girls like a guy with layers.

Thats just common sense, dude.

Once picked a guy up at the bar by drawing him Nigel Thornberry on a napkin. Weird shit starts a conversation at least

What's the dating app controversy?

[–] Mojave@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The dating scene caused by apps like tinder, bumble, hinge, etc have bred a wildly toxic environment to meet people in

[–] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How so? I’ve been out of the dating game for a very long time.

[–] bouh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Basically, the longer you stay on this kind of app, the more likely you become to hate the other sex, and you start to become manipulative and do stupid things to navigate the nonsense. It's true madness.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because it's all just hook up culture, there's no connections, just fast sex on speed dial, among other issues.

[–] artaxthehappyhorse@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

...which still could be fine in theory: You have a close friend for companionship and you're both getting your primal fun elsewhere.. but that's entirely in theory. somehow we manage to screw that up, as with most things humans do

You're not supposed to go up to penguins in the antarctic. It's prohibited.

But you can do something goofy until they get curious and come over to see what's up.

This is the dating version of that.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My tactic is to just approach women with interesting but niche facts until one offers to peg me.

Can confirm this approach works

Getfiscal still creating controversy on the internet since ~2009.
