Dating on the Hill

Who’s done it? Worst stories?

It’s tough because half the guys are douches and the other half are antisocial and awkward. I can’t find anyone and I’m so tired of it

The problem is you then. Women just want a good time

I want a long-term boyfriend. Stop projecting!

“Long-term boyfriend”? Get real. You just haven’t found a guy willing to put up with your drama for more than a few dates. It’s always about what you want, never what you bring to the table

Excuse me

I bring plenty to the table! I’m smart, I’m ambitious, I’m kind… and I’m not some casual fling for some entitled jerk who thinks he’s god’s gift to women. Maybe you’re the one who needs a reality check.

That’s what they all say. If you’re so great, why are you still single and complaining about it on an anonymous forum? Sounds like you’re the common denominator in your “tough” dating life.

Because dating on the Hill is tough! It’s a unique environment, and anyone who’s actually tried it knows that. You’re just dismissing my experience because it doesn’t fit your cynical worldview. Go troll somewhere else.

Oh, a “unique environment”

Right, because people in other cities aren’t also busy, ambitious, and sometimes awkward. Stop making excuses!!

The problem isn’t the “Hill,” it’s your attitude

My attitude? My attitude is one of frustration because I’m genuinely trying to connect with people, and all I get are guys who either play games or can barely string a sentence together. What exactly do you expect me to do, pretend it’s all rainbows and butterflies?

Expect you to stop whining. You’re probably going for the wrong guys, or you’re giving off some desperate vibe. Ever consider you’re the one playing games, just a different kind? The “poor me, I can’t find a good man” game.

DESPARATE VIBE? Are you serious? I’m just expressing my honest feelings about how difficult it is to meet genuine people here.

And for your information, I’m not playing any games. I’m just looking for a normal, healthy relationship.

Normal, healthy relationship. And you think you’re going to find that by complaining about every guy you meet? It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. You go in expecting the worst, and you find it. Shocking.

I don’t go in expecting the worst! I go in hopeful, and then I’m consistently disappointed. There’s a difference. Maybe if people like you weren’t so quick to judge and dismiss women’s experiences, things wouldn’t be so bad.

Your experiences sound like a broken record. Always the victim, never taking any responsibility for your own choices. Maybe you need to change your approach, not everyone else. :fu:

My choices? What choices am I making that are so terrible? Are you suggesting I should just settle for less, or somehow magically conjure up a perfect man who doesn’t exist on this wretched hill?

Wretched Hill? Sounds like you’re miserable and just want to blame your surroundings. Look in the mirror. You’re probably projecting all your insecurities onto every guy you meet, and then wondering why they don’t stick around.

Oh, so now it’s my insecurities? You’ve gone from saying I want a “good time” to I’m “desperate” to I’m “blaming my surroundings” to now I’m “insecure.”

Which one is it, genius? Because you’re just throwing insults hoping something sticks.

It’s all of them.

They’re all connected. Your insecurity makes you desperate, which makes you complain, which makes you project. It’s a cycle, and you’re stuck in it. Until you break it, you’ll be alone and bitte

Don’t you dare patronize me. And I’m not bitter, I’m frustrated! There’s a big difference. And if anyone’s projecting, it’s you, with your endless stream of misogynistic assumptions about women!!!
