Idris is one of the world's most underrated actors.

Concerning dating maybe this is true for women, but definitely not for men.

Strong disagree. Single men are in abundance, and there is so little demand for us. It feels like most women are either already taken, already being pursued by (sometimes several) others, don't want commitment, or rate you too low for them if they do want commitment. Single women seriously and realistically looking to date do not remain single for extended periods.

I wish the same could be said for men. I see so many young men like myself lamenting over the same thing, and there is nothing to console them.

And if you do get a chance, factor in that you have to like them too, and be close enough, and have lives that can fit at some point...

...I'm getting sick of the reality of this hopeless game.

Nice words, but Im sure it must be easier meeting new people if you are anywhere near as good-looking as Idris Elba.

I am not an Idris Elba-looking guy but I've never really had issues finding dates. You'd be surprised how much more responsive women are if you don't carry negativity around like an anchor. I think dating apps definitely favor women, but also guys get in their own way SO often.

Worst case scenario, two desperate guys dating each other means that scale gets tilted twice as far in guys' favor

I’ve started this mindset with job hunting. Rejections don’t mean anything negative any more. It just means it’s time to put in the next application.

This works great with money too. I stopped worrying about how much I spend because I've fooled myself into believing my bank account is bottomless.

No joke, this attitude is something that MLMs and cults would encourage people to do in order for the victims to believe they can actually catch whatever carrot on a stick that they've been promised.

I think that I just got rid of an obstacle, when I reject a difficult person who crossed my path.

Thank You. Something much better is coming after that.

Most quotes like this i find pretty lame, but this is pretty good and motivating way of looking at job hunting.

This is a great attitude to have. People with defeatist attitudes will never not feel defeated. It's something to strive for, that attitude

but did you do everything you can to improve. I. e. gym?

You don't have control on your face, but you have on your body, teeth, and dress style.

Employers: Why aren’t we getting any workers?

Also Employers: *Use algorithm that automatically reject 99.9% of applications unless their absolutely perfect. And after that still rejects people after 2-3 interviews.

Truly, a mystery.

I know plenty of women who share this same level of desperation that you portray here so stop pretending this is something exclusive to men. The moment you change your current paradigm will be the moment it stops being a self-fulfilling prophecy.
