I swear I cant tell the difference between a woman in her 20s from a woman in her 30s or 40s anymore.
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.
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.
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.
I mean that is a far stretch, 20's to 40's. You can certainly tell a difference. I'd say the late 20's to mid 30's is where it might be a bit deceiving because of makeup. But hands are a good indicator of age.I swear I cant tell the difference between a woman in her 20s from a woman in her 30s or 40s anymore.
Agree.I mean that is a far stretch, 20's to 40's. You can certainly tell a difference. I'd say the late 20's to mid 30's is where it might be a bit deceiving because of makeup. But hands are a good indicator of age.
Once they are past late 30's, the body will def start to tell you a story. Maybe not with clothes on (that's another factor these days along with makeup), but you can tell.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
you must be one handsome mofo! Get of this site lolI had a clear underage approach me today, couldn't say how old but she was ready to go, some teens gonna get his life made today by that broad, I actually had like 6 chick's checking me out at once and she hovered all around them and scared them off eventually, was kind of annoying
Yeah, same.The age range I have trouble with is 16 - 22. Girls these days dress and carry themselves in a way that makes them seem older. Though after a 5 minute chat, it's easier to narrow down. But physically, nope.
It's been the year of the shaved head and long beard, I made a thread about it before but yeah it's a different thing nowyou must be one handsome mofo! Get of this site lol
