As a new member, here is a thought process I have as a college student in Asia thinking of how to deal with dating during today's pandemic scenario. I also have a couple questions that can serve as discussion topics and food-for-thought.
After reading a couple threads here, I do agree about working to improve ourselves while the vaccine is still underway. Learning new skills, improving past skills, exercising, getting enough food and sleep, and numerous self-improvement actions are definitely worth it.
However, I simply cannot imagine how current dating in real life will be able to work the way it has been for the past decades. With the advent of masks and social distancing, it will be harder for men to observe cues in women that signal interest. Given that 80% of men are betas/omegas, just imagine the grief that men will have in order to cope with the modern dating scenario.
This brings me to online dating. Our university held one such Zoom event where I joined, but it surprised me as to how lame and ineffective it seemed. Obviously, that's because of the lack of physical contact, and again, the cues are almost hard to notice, if not downright impossible. Although I did enjoy interacting with women again, it is something I can't possibly compare to meeting up in person. Online dating, according to a redpill book I've read, is also a buffer against rejection, which makes sense: both parties don't have to deal with any realistic tension due to long distances, and virtual connectivity. It doesn't make any sense at all. Is there even a way to be able to interact properly to a woman online? Is it even possible to date with women online, knowing that everyone has to wait for the vaccines before everything returns to semi-normal? Are there techniques to keep them interested during the pandemic, and make them want you even after such a long time has passed for the vaccines to be achieved? I'm trying to make sense of it all.
Additionally, most college students are most likely staying in their homes, so it makes sense for most to not pursue any meet-up for now. And it's also fine for any existing relationships to meet up right now, so long as both parties consciously know that they're safe from the virus. However, this becomes a disadvantage to non-exclusive people since the vaccines aren't out yet.
For any additional thoughts, please share them below. I would like to know them all, and if you have any tips for dating in a post-pandemic world, feel free to share your insights.
Thank you, and have a confident and awesome day!
