As a misanthrope I find the dating game to be incredibly INCREDIBLY BORING! I'm really not that interested or curious about other people's lives so finding some random woman to talk about her day or some other small talk just bores me terribly.
Then, interlaced between all this boring small talk you have to weave in signs of interest.
Then you have to read and watch for signals of interest from her which are sometimes misleading and you end up wasting a whole bunch of time and energy.
Sorry, but modern dating feels like driving at night in a really really dense fog on a mountain road. I have done that before and it is not pleasant!
Then as a man you grow up hearing that you need to be aggressive, "decide what you want and take it", fight for things, chase women...all takes more energy than I got and quite frankly I'm too bored with people and the world for all that.
Aggressiveness is great as long as the woman finds you attractive. If she doesn't then you become the "creeper." Do this in a place where you frequent often and now you will be known as the resident "creeper."
Modern dating is filled with flakes, creepers, divas, players, people who think they are SO much more than they actually are, people holding out for "perfection", users, gold diggers, people looking for a dad/mom for their kids, endless texters, married people playing around, and many other shadowy figures.
So it's no surprise that I get on best with misanthropic women. That way we can avoid most of the small talk. But they are rare to find these days. :-(
