(Part 2) Top products from r/Tinder

I'll be honest because I trust that's what you want.

Tinder is not for you.

Tinder is an Open Bar for girls. Your profile is the equivalent of a dixie cup of lukewarm water left on the floor.

You look like you have never done a push up in your life. You are wearing a Majoras Mask sweatshirt. The picture with the 'goofy' macro made me physically cringe. Do you smile ever? Where are pictures of you with friends doing fun things?

All Tinder will do is batter your self confidence when after a month you've swiped right 1000 times and matched only bots or fat chicks. You are far better off deleting Tinder and building an interesting life. You are only 20. And male. You should be in no rush.

[Buy this book. Do everything in it. Don't expect results in 6 months or even a year. Follow what this book tells you and when you're 25 you will be turning chicks away. You need to be fit, fashionable, and above all interesting. Your current pictures indicate the opposite.] (https://www.amazon.com/Mate-Become-Man-Women-Want/dp/0316375365)

You are 5'6 and that will be a deal breaker for a lot of girls. Fuck them. I hope to god your major is STEM so that you're making 6 figures 3 years after you graduate.

TLDR - Delete Tinder. Focus on gradual, incremental, and above all sustainable self improvement over the next few years.

I haven't the foggiest, and have never used Tinder so can't exactly give you a sure in. But I have to say, you are an awesome dude, coming from a fellow dude. Keep your head up mate, I have low self esteem and some confidence issues but there are people who will find you attractive as you are. If they say so, just believe them.

My girlfriend got me this book and it's helped massively, maybe give it a go!

Otherwise, I just truly hope for the best for you. You've got the attitude and personality, that's what'll keep them around.

It's a great shame that their bios weren't swapped, really. As someone else has pointed out, if you're having that much difficulty knowing how to start a conversation, you need to greatly improve your social skills. I'm pretty sure there is /r/socialskills on here and you might want to consider [How to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks For Big Success In Relationships
](http://www.How.com/ to Talk to Anyone: 92 Little Tricks For Big Success In Relationships https://www.amazon.com/dp/0722538073/) (Amazon.Com). Good luck!

It sounds like you already know that you don't want to be with this guy forever, but you're trying to make it something it's not because you don't want to be alone. Not saying that to criticize--it can take a little time to psych yourself up enough to end a relationship, especially if they didn't do anything "wrong," but I am 99% sure you'll be happier once you rip off the band-aid.

I get that it's stressful to not be where you thought you'd be at this stage, but would you rather be in a relationship that is constantly disappointing or be single? It took me a while to get my life to a place where I'm genuinely content, and of course I'd still like to find a person to share my life with, but if someone (romantic or otherwise) isn't adding positive emotions or experiences to my life, it's not worth investing my energy into that relationship. It sounds like this guy isn't what you're actually looking for--not saying it's his fault, just that this might not be a good fit, and you're exhausting yourself trying to make it satisfy you.

If you're down for an unsolicited book recommendation, I have one. The title is ridiculous, but it's actually about working on yourself and figuring out what is important to you in a relationship. I can't remember for sure if it's in this book but I think she talks about abundance and scarcity mentalities, which might be helpful, too.

In any case, I hope you have a nice Valentine's day and your dinner goes well!

This book might help you.

Secular ideologies can be just as authoritarian as religious ideologies. re: communist china, the state is their "religion" and it will crush any potential challenger, including atheists. It is not a fair representation of a potential secular society. Secular humanism would be a far more ideal "state philosophy."

I'm not as well versed in Mughals or House of Baghdad. The Renaissance was inspired by humanism and was a break from the theocracy that came before, and further distanced itself with the enlightenment.

There's an argument that any cultural human achievement, especially those within theocratic societies, could have been just as good if not better if they occurred in a secular humanist society

This might help its like 4 dollars.

Cully, get thee to a bookstore (or Amazon, whatever) and pick up the Dark Tower series by Stephen King! You'll find phrases, sayings, and words like this all throughout the series (and plenty of them are actual words, they are just rarely heard or seen nowadays).

I REALLY suggest getting the revised editions that King released, especially with the first book, The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger.

Could provide entertainment for kids birthdays.

Real talk, this shit saved my fucking life. No razors, no shaving machines, no knives. Just rub and wait. It's fucking magic. But if you buy it, make sure to try it on a less sensitive area, like a small bit on your arm, to make sure it doesn't burn you or some shit idk.

And don't give me that bullshit about, oh, it's dishonest. Everything about a woman's appearance is often dishonest. Face paint, high heels, padded bra, spanx.

By the time it's time to take off your shoes and nail her, she'll be too horny to change her mind. Or sit on the bed before you take off your shoes and she won't know until much later.
