These pilot guys on the dating discussion websites already tried that stuff. They go to the polished photos after that fails. I think that you are special.
I'm done being positive and pretending that things are good. What I've learned is that no matter how bad things are, one year later they can be worse. This sixth sense stuff is an occult, twilight zone argument. Many depressed guys get dates. The chase and feminine energy and all that are all fine. But most guys here don't have a chance to experience that. They don't get dates through dating systems and if they go out to do their approaches, it is over within 30-60 seconds. Trying and failing is OK but like this it's like you never got to even run the race. That's why I advocate giving up and spending time alone.
