I'm 30. Not long ago, I was on Tinder and a match told me that she was unsure at first because of my age. She thought I was too young. Perhaps a person's dating options only get better with age? One can only hope.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Like with all things, it depends on the individual.When i was on Tinder, i set the age up to 40 to see everything that was on there.
But the women post 35 there were such poor quality that it depressed me to consider about that being a potential dating pool for me in a decade or two.
I think men's age is a funny thing. I had a lot of success in my teens/early 20's, then went through a weird period of trying to adapt to being an adult where i fell into typical beta territory (one or two new lays a year, if i was lucky). I've since sorted that to having better results than i've ever managed.
I can't imagine it peaking later than 35, possibly 40 though. I don't see where the guys are coming from who make out that men peak any later than that.
So don't hold out thinking that the game will get easier. Because you missed one massive peak already (teenage party years), and you might be wasting another (30 to 35, when both brain and body are in good nick).
I also find it interesting that the average age of marriage in my country is something like 31 for women and 33 for men iirc. Which goes to show who is bossing the frame, doesn't it?
No fvcking way would i get married at this point. If i were inclined, i'd do it at about 40.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I'd rather become a multimillionaire.Just lift weights . that's the only advantage you'll have over 90% of younger guys. Most young guys don't lift at all and they're skrawny as hell.... I'm not saying u need to get Brock lesnar big, but u need to get big enough to have a presence when you walk in the room... when people call you big dog everywhere you go, that's when you'll know you have achieved that presence
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
based on what? lots of men look like garbage - fat and bald by 40Men age like fine wine, whereas women age like milk
Remember that
Yeah sure, if that makes you happy.based on what? lots of men look like garbage - fat and bald by 40
if you mean that men age great when they work out obsessively, take great care of themselves and get hair transplant surgery then you can say the same thing about women
women can have kids until 40 or soYeah sure, if that makes you happy.
Women have wombs.....they have a limited time, before what they can bring to the table which is valuable....reaches it's sell by date...
