@SnowblindNYR @will1066 I don't want to sound like a broken record;
-Shut it down until at least April when the vaccine is on the way
-Learn some new skills or hobbies. I've been an editor using iMovie for 7 months in my spare time for a YouTube channel and it's led me to doing two work training videos when my responsibilities have nothing to do with that part of the world. I'm not a good editor by any means but I am 100% competent and where I am now from where I was in June is night and day.
-Lift weights. Work on your physiques. You don't have to get 50 lbs free-weights just two 15 or 20 lbs can do a lot. I primarily run..but it's the winter and I refuse to run when it's below 40
-Read some books about dating and frame. I'm not going to give specifics unless you DM me. Some authors are controversial but if you only focus on the dynamics and interactions of men and women, it'll help.
-Post less and think about modifying you social media sites.
-Most importantly; have fun! It can be tough when you're lonely (I have oneitus^2 which I say in every post here to remind people that I'm right there with y'all). There are other things to do. Hockey will be back in a few weeks. We have some Giants football games in December that matter.
I mentioned before, I destroyed my stomach this weekend from too much black coffee, not enough sleep, and too much wine on an empty stomach from a virtual happy hour, but had a lovely evening watching old WWF videos on YouTube trying to rest.
I respect when someone like
@Loki Dog 74 comes in and tells me I'm overthinking and says just be yourself and the others who say I'm brainwashed by pickup artists on YouTube and look at this too much as a job interview. I'm only offering alternative advise to others to try and help.
I don't believe I'm overthinking because the facts are if you're single now this is the worst time to try and meet someone:
-Height of a pandemic
-Weather is garbage in the Northeast
-The breakup and divorce rate is going to skyrocket
If you do the work from now until late-spring/early-summer you will have a wealth of options because there are women who are going to be equally if not more lonely.
