"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

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.

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.

Sounds like more single Mom's looking for d!ck but claiming they aren't.

Until you start talking to them and they tell you how they havent been fvcked in over a year or sometimes 2 or 3 years.

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.
