A chat on 4chan

I get dating things on TikTok all the time and all of them say stuff along the lines of 'don't consider a woman's feelings' and 'be aggressive'. Some even said from women.

How's it finding love if I have to be someone I'm not/go against my natural instincts? Does one have to be someone they are not to get their foot in the door and then be like 'surprise, I actually give a shit about you as a person!'. Or would that result in lack of interest? 

I know I'm asking in the wrong place. More just a depressing observation than anything. 

I guess I have to just hope the person I dig is 'broken' in the sense that they aren't turned off by someone that gives a shit.

why do you even feel like you need to listen to stupid fucking ads on tiktok?

They're not ads. It's people that are giving out relationship 'advice'. And I don't. I do use it for insight though. 

I just feel like maybe it's a common mindset. I'm not going to start being a forceful dick just cause I think it may get me somewhere. I just find it depressing if that's what it would take to be in a relationship or be 'worthy' of someone's time and attention.

Common advice doesn't always fit for everyone, the thing is, you're the male, and it's on you to pursue, or at least that's what society and women expect. Being spineless or meek around women is a good way to turn a lot of them off.
