"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.

Do you think chicks that say on Tinder that they are interested in older men are legitimate?

As expected, the younger the poster, the more offended he is by a young woman seeking out an older man.

I would never allow a woman OF ANY AGE access to me if it were only about my affluence. That said, I have had situationships and a relationship with a woman more than two decades younger than me. In all cases, more than me buying dinner or takeout never occurred, and neither was money exchanged nor asked for.

Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I got this in my feed:

Whats really funny is how womem will now make pictures with their phone in front of their faces.

A flat belly and some shape at hips is enough to get the infamous "99+" notification. While apparently men have to make a selfie while they make an bungee jump from the moon with Elon musk to make her at least check out the next picture..

I also think we overestimate the word "older". C'mon gents, we know that when woman tells you " in the past" she means 1,5 ,2 years max. So older will have a similar kinda of gap: 5 to ten years maximum IF you are handsome and stable.

Her father might be 44-48.

The girls on Tinder I got with. were mostly much younger. They didn’t have anything in their bio that mentioned ‘older men’. I put my age in my bio. but subtracted 10 years (this got sketchy when I got 2 LTR GFs out of it).

Out of the most recent 10 girls I have talked to on Hinge, the average age gap is 11.4 years younger ranging from 22-48. I'm 47. It's never been easier for me to match with younger women. The average age gap for myself has increased as I've gotten older.
This can happen. A lot of talking behind electronic screens isn't all that meaningful so it'd be more meaningful if the average date you went on was 11.4 years younger.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Much criticism and pondering over women that men do comes from a place of resentment and a reminder that the criticized and mysterious women don’t want THEM.

Bitching about women that are false trads, actual trads, want bad boys, seek older rich men, “Chad Thundercock,” men of other races (eg, “BBC” or Nordic men), tall men, criminals, ordinary oofy-doofies, and yes, even beta men—in most cases it’s from resentment that they’re a womanless man.

The average woman doesn't want the average man. That's a saying that Rollo Tomassi is known for saying. There are plenty of men being sent to the rejection pile by women. The typical man is a man that's a part of the rejection pile. There's even a regular poster on this board that's 6'4", 230 lbs, and far more muscular/fit than average. It's a man with a "Chad Thundercock" look and he's even sent to the rejection pile. That's likely an extreme example.

The typical man operates from a scarcity mentality with women because scarcity is all he's known. Most woman aren't that interested.

This is for the youngsters here that hate on the idea of desirable younger women choosing older men, read, in the words of a couple of 20-something’s.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

That last paragraph she wrote said a lot. That's key. You younger guys need to take notice. It's all about how you make them feel and she said it all.
They won’t listen, they will find a way to explain it away.

You guys aré preaching to the choir. Haters are losers. Its been on my signature for a while.

Im on the side of "older" men, always been, in case It wasnt clear (I'll be over 40 In the blink of an eye). Doesnt mean I wont crack a joke In good spirits here or there.

For all I know, most hot girls could indeed have some sort of daddy issue (or not. Im no psychologist, I dont know). And If they did, I wouldnt say its a bad thing, But an opportunity; a sweet sweet opportunity.
