THIS is why I HATE Dating in England…

After nearly four months in Manchester, Daniel reports one coffee meeting and roughly four monthly matches, damaging his confidence. A fake bald, bearded, glasses-free profile produced more matches, but he refuses that look, prioritizing appearance-based comfort over dating success. He pauses dating until Japan reopens, citing beauty standards, weak conversation, a failed channel, OnlyFans, and trading losses.

The dating impasse intensifies post-divorce regret and renews Japan as his imagined escape.
