This is one of those times I regret posting something I posted then, I guess. I just wanted to do something good.
I was only posting to co-sign Apollo's weird interaction to say that kind of thing was common for me with online dating. So I wanted to build him up, show him he wasn't alone in strange situations on there so not to beat himself up is all!
Every single thing I posted in that post was 100% truth and what I personally experienced. Not a "theory". I'm aware I'm not successful with women, yes. That's one of the reasons I tried online dating (as well as showed up here, like most of the male forum in fact...). I'm also aware I experienced all of those things first hand.
Was just trying to let him know it isn't just him etc. so he doesn't beat himself up over it thinking he's lame or did or said something wrong like I've often done in such situations. Leads you down a bad spiral, so I wanted to help prevent that danger in him. That was the focus.
Don't take it personally, man. You defend yourself a lot, and it isn't necessary.
You like helping people feel like they're not alone in how they feel, there's nothing wrong with that.
You'll get your street cred soon enough. Just make sure you give credit where it's due when you do, when that time comes. None of us are in this alone.
