The People Who Quit Dating
Being single can be hard—but the search for love may be harder.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Do you agree with this dating article from the atlantic ?:)

"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.

I think the "choose your spouse" meme that was at the heart of the great play/movie "Fiddler on the Roof", was a guiding principle of the Sexual Revolution and the Me Generation, and has found its apotheosis with OLD, is destined for a major reset. The Paradox of Choice is a paradox because rather than liberate, it befuddles.

Many men are quitting dating because they are not seeing results from it.
There's no reason to go on multiple first dates that don't result in either first date sex or eventual sex from a longer term relationships.
Additionally, it is even worse for men that don't get dates from electronic methods or get their in-person approaches ignored.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
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.

If it was something I wanted to do (like try a cool, new restaurant). and she paid her fair share? Yes.
So true

A girl I wound up with, whom I met on Tinder, told me she matched with a guy she didn’t find attractive, but thought his bio was cool. They met & she told him, straight up, ‘no kissing. No sfx.’. He still took her out to a ball game & dinner.
Dating is fine as long as you realise it’s a value exchange.
It’s fun in the beginning but at some point women always want more than you are willing to give (money, energy, attention, time, validation etc.) and/or the quality/quantity of bedroom action or whatever else you want from the relationship declines or has increasingly more and more conditions placed on it (choreplay, giftplay, romance play, moving in or marriage demands etc.).
What was relatively low investment for you in the beginning increases over time and the satisfaction you experience declines. Probably the same experience for her as well, just different things.
It’s then a slow death spiral to the inevitable break up, dead bedroom, affair/cheating, increasing feelings of unhappiness/dissatisfaction/boredom; just the length of time this takes to happen can vary. There are exceptions of course but everyone thinks they will be the exception.

It's OVER for NoSfxCels.
Really, this is one of the reasons I don't have a problem with EscortMaxxing. If I drop the same amount for a session as I would taking a chick of her calibre out and not get action, why is that not the sensible thing to do?
what site do you use?
