The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
From far away, this sounds like a decent result. Not ideal, obviously, but way better than the last speed dating event I went to. It sounds like it's worth going a few more times FWIW.
The lack of "Men Are All Such Trash Amirite?" was reassuring, but I've gotten pretty tired of hearing how great I am and still not being deemed worthy. Feels like being called a Nice Guy, and that's just 2012 all over again.
I get that. To me it seems you at least have an opening, and a few more visits might produce either a girl who's organically interested in you, or enough practice/experience to get out of the Nice Guy filter.
