"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Match Group Announces Layoffs

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Sales miss estimates. Perhaps men are seeing that swipe apps are destined to fail for most of them.

Match Group owns Tinder, Hinge, Match, Plenty of Fish, and OkCupid.
Maybe if they actually started matching people instead of ripping them off.

You can only sell a con for so long.

At least some men finally got laid (off).
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I used to OWN their stock before the split with AIC ... Made good money... That company owned 90% of the online dating market

I don't see 8% as a significant number.

That company going bankrupt would be beneficial to society.
Imo this company wrecking the dating market is beneficial to their handler's goals. Somewhere, the WEF is smiling.

This is actually a fairly big deal - it indicates a general decline in simping.

Nah
More like Match got greedy during inflation and decided to double the cost of memberships across all platforms.
Hey if it means less competition it works for me
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

It is not the only platform for simping. OnlyFans has a ton of simps.
I don't know what percentage of girl next door types are on Onlyfans, but for the average woman I would think this means less easy attention.

Ofcourse this happens.

The average bloke has a better change to winning at the casino than winning on OLD. You can't and wont pay for something that doesn't gives you any value in return. Its like paying a restaurant full price to maybe and probably not get some mediocre food at best.

Dating App = Chad's Playground.

Some of these sites may have tried to work at one point, but threw in the towel when they realized it was hypergamy run amuk.

If they started kicking out bots, girls looking for attention, being rude or waste mens time maybe men would still pay for a shot.

I dont think the issue is not scoring itself but more the time/effort wasting issue.

Does a girl matches but doesnt write nor replies? give her a warning after the 3rd time then kick her out after the 5th, nobody forced her to like someone she didnt like.

Also if a profile is not active from 3 months just delete it instead of keeping it floating while the girl simply deleted the app.

Men punish wrong doing at some point.

OF is not about girls exploiting men.
OF is exploiting women by giving the hope they can make money by exploiting men.
