Exactly. Why would a single 50 yo male with any SMV be pursuing women his own age?That's why if you're 50 and you are in shape with a decent job you should be focusing on women 10 to 15 years younger.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
34 and want nothing to do with women 29+I'm 44 and I want nothing to do with women 40+.
and how many of those women would be deemed attractive?Unless you live in my area. Median age in This region is around 55 years old. Literally more older singles than ones my age range.
Not true. I went to a div 3 school. Regular guys dated. There are only so many sports players. There are many more hb 6.5 and up girls than sports players.Funny, I went to a D III school, but they were good at sports and our football team usually made the playoffs. Seems like the only guys that were scoring were the good-looking soccer, football players and fraternity duded. My one roommate was on the football team, he was a good looking dude and aggressive. He cleaned up in college. I had a few opportunities, but I was timid and you know how that goes.
Most guys in college are broke and don't have enough life experience to be confident. Hence, I think most men struggle in college with women.
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.
Maybe not fat would be another measurement as I'm not elderly and attracted to them. Maybe 20 percent but then factor in all the fat guys too. If you're 60 and not fat and have money especially you're at an advantageand how many of those women would be deemed attractive?
It isn't "lack of experience" that makes a man or boy unconfident. It's the lifetime of brainwashing, oppression, and emotional abuse they've been through.Funny, I went to a D III school, but they were good at sports and our football team usually made the playoffs.

And boy scouts allow girls too nowIt isn't "lack of experience" that makes a man or boy unconfident. It's the lifetime of brainwashing and oppression they've been through.
Six year old boys all over America right now are being told by their teachers, and feminist single mothers, that their existence is "oppressive" to girls, and need to spend their entire lives apologizing for being born male.
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.
Hello Gentlemen,
A little background about myself and situation. I am 47, Great shape (10%BF) Recently broke up with LTR for 3 years (over a month ago she's a 10/10 26YO). Been trying to see what's going on out there and installed some dating apps and wow what a let down, women my age looks downright disgusting.
My question is will age be an issue for younger women of this generation? Is there any other places to you guys can recommend meeting younger women? with my ex I worked with her for 5 years and got to know her real well before we started dating. Ive been out of the game for a while after my divorce(was married for 15 years), but I don't have issues talking to girls.
Get some ***** first then you can talk.Yep. Yet no one sees anything wrong with it and thinks it's cute. But when it's like a 37 year old liking 21 year old girls people make pervy comments about said person and that he's narcissist etc.
But when did this all start? 80 years ago there was nothing wrong with liking women younger than you. Also, 16, 17 year olds were marrying guys older than them as well.

I always thought the definition was age 50 and over.Cougar
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
That's why you approachD1 College football games? Unless you are sitting near some attractive women, kind of hard to do.
I'm guessing you are trying to say that the people there were not as friendly as you expected. I'm I right?I went to a Clemson Auburn game by myself a few years back. I thought the fans would be alot friendlier (southern hospitality and all)
How was the weather?Yes exactly. Got to campus at noon and got hammered drinking an IPA from Charleston at some bar.
I was staying 9 miles outside of Clemson since hotels were price gouging. Couldn't get a car or uber for the life of me.
Walked on a highway back towards my hotel for 4 miles in knee high grass until I finally got an uber ride. Good times
Well there you go buddy!Good. It was September
I would love to go to an MSU vs Ole Miss game at Ole Miss.
Expensive endeavor though, due to hotels price gouging.
There's a lot of other venues as well.I would love to go to an MSU vs Ole Miss game at Ole Miss.

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
