Pros & Cons of having a G/F?

3,159 1,585 March 6, 2025 at 04:09 PM
Hi guys. I'm been doing online dating (and chat apps) since Aug 2022.

I'm a little down because I have met hundreds of women online but have never met one in person yet.

So I was wondering if we could all get together as a think-tank and come up with reasons (both good and bad) for having a G/F.

It could help cheer me up or make me sad.

The distinction for him seems to be "online" girlfriend. The pros? No STD's because he'll never get that close. The cons? There's plenty of them online.

I have the impression that OP wants to give up on online dating and is actively looking for a reason not to get out and smell the real women. And he's seeking our approval.

I approve of him getting some therapy. He's too old to be living with mom and dad, and too young to have this many issues finding a date.

If there is little to no success for you on finding someone to date and commit then you'd need to work on yourself ie personal hygiene, social skills, location, weight, hobbies, and the list goes on.
