"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Another OLD app owned by Match Group. Looks like they launched it themselves instead of buying it, which is their normal strategy.

Stir, a dating app designed specifically for single parents, was launched by Match Group on March 21, 2022. The launch date coincided with US National Single Parents Day, emphasizing the app's focus on providing a dating platform tailored to the needs of single parents.

I wasn’t aware of their existence, it’s probably already overrun, might've been good when it launched. It’s probably using the same tech as Tinder and Bumble, based on ELO scores etc.

I’m going to load the free version and poke around, I’ll report back. If you have any experiences using it please comment.
 

"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.

Stir sounds promising for single parents, especially with its tailored approach. It's neat they launched it on National Single Parents Day, shows they're really catering to the audience. And yeah, it's likely using similar tech to Tinder and Bumble, which could mean a familiar interface for users.

Back when I was exploring dating apps, I had a great experience using Adult Friend Finder to find a hookup. It was straightforward to use and had a lot of active users in my area.

It's probably more ruthless than regular dating apps, as every woman will be "over the games"

i.e. looking for a provider

When I get to hell, there will no doubt be a single mom grilling me on my qualifications

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Single suburban moms want the d1ck but they’ll disguise it in a relationship that they’ll fend off from becoming a second marriage as long as they can. Suburban moms likely won’t sleep around like they did prior to kids.

One caveat- if that mom commutes far enough into a densely enough populated area for work, she will wh0re out, like this woman Trish whose riding the pony in midtown manhattan while playing stepford mom in westchester. I could hit it but I don’t want to pay for a hotel room to bang some mid 40’s lush who thought I was the guy from the gym in first text. lol.

Most of the time they will say that until they start liking you and you get them hot and bothered enough and then it all changes and they ride your c0ck like a caged lionness.

Effectively they are trying to protect them from themselves when they say that, hoping guys who just want to fvck will be scared off because they know they won't be able to control themselves.
