I'm thinking about what type of date to take this girl on. Typically for a first date I would just take a girl for drinks at a cool vibey spot which makes sense if I would want there to potentially be another date. But since this girl is from another country and only here for a few more days...

I've never had this opportunity nor been on many dates with girls from Europe before so I'm not entirely sure what to expect. We matched on a dating app, it said she is 23, from Germany but here in NYC. From her pictures, she's very attractive. We exchange a couple of messages and it turns...

How do you guys find enjoyment/fulfillment from things you like but aren't necessarily good at? I find that unless I'm good at something or at least see continuing improvement, I don't enjoy my hobbies or things I've tried. People always suggest do things for fun or because you like them or...

Why is the general consensus not to date them and they're in general not good partners? I'm sizing up the one I've been hanging out with and she has a few long term relationships in her past. Makes me think she's not such bad relationship material?

What's the deal with dating girls that are the free spirit type? Any experiences/advice you can share?

I think what you're saying is a big reason I'm asking. How does one walk that fine line? 99% of the time she's making you happy but then you see she responded to a former fling on Instagram or is posting thirst trap pictures on social media or they tell some little white lie but correct...

What are some of your boundaries when it comes to dating women? What are the ones you're willing to say hey that's not ok (or what do you say/do?) and what are the ones where you do not communicate with them and it's just over for you?

I'm definitely taking the right steps. I eat healthy. Fruits, vegetables, protein, healthy carbs. I'm training for a triathlon and marathon. 5-6 days a week I'm running and cycling, unfortunately no swimming since COVID. I have really bad elbow issues so I'm very limited in what lifting I...

I definitely feel like I've experienced loss after loss. Never seems like things work out or go my way, I never catch a break. I've been doing some reading - I'm going to start journaling and part of that will be a victory log. Write 1 victory I had during the day.

Well I do see a therapist on a weekly basis. I was also on anti-depressant the majority of last year when I was in some seriously deep depression and despair but weaned myself off. Don't feel any different than I did after being on them several months. It's more of just an energy sucking type...

Wondering if anybody here has dealt with depression and how they have gone about battling it and maybe even overcoming it? How do you get into a positive/optimistic mindset and mood? I've realized I've been depressed and apathetic for years now and I'm struggling to break out of this. I'm...

I thought the thread would be a good idea to motivate and inspire guys on the forum. Maybe somebody mentions something that they do and I or somebody else on this forum says wow that sounds awesome and tries it out and makes it part of their life too. I personally do these things for me and...

I totally agree with this. I'm not searching for a final piece to the puzzle. I'm finding the mental and physical challenges of everything I'm doing to be the satisfying part of it all. Making it through a long bike session or getting my ass on the mats to train jiu jitsu to learn something...

I see this idea of creating and living an interesting and awesome life thrown around a lot on sites like this and in other articles/forums. But people never really get into specifics or expand on this. It's become apparent to me that this is by far the most important thing to living a happy...

I dealt with some pretty deep depression after being blindsided by my ex. I had a lot of internal **** to deal with that I didn't realize before this happened though. Things I did after being dumped that have helped: Bought some new clothing that every time I put it on make me feel like I'm a...
