Ha!! Except these days by old standards she isnt considered fat lol!
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.

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.
At least she's not looking for marriage

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.
That's an amazing mate!Sometimes it's good to give points for being honest, this time is not.
That one is bat shiit crazy!Watch out for this one...Fort Worth, TX
It was not there for me on any level. That's why I stopped using the swipe apps. It's a shiit show.the ROI is not there for most men.
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.
People watching is overrated. Dallas has some great people watching places.OLD is like the electronic version of people watching.
She is good looking. If she didn't want kids, I could see a similarly aged childless guy being into her. She might be an obnoxious careerist though.I've matched with this chic(in the red dress) 3 times on hinge/bumble. The first time the convo fizzled out. Second time I deleted her. Third time I asked her "what's the deal, can't find any good guys?". She told me it was hard finding a guy that wanted to have a baby. They all had kids already or didn't want any. She is 40yo, spent her good years focused on her career, and now she can't find a man to make a baby with. Lol. Stupid.

Man Mexican blood look at those chicken drumstick legs, and the bolt ons. Her friend is more proportional.I've matched with this chic(in the red dress) 3 times on hinge/bumble.

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've had a few like that on old. One I matched with a 3rd or 4th time. Hb 7.5 to 8. Seems to fizzle. Exchanged numbers finally but now her excuse is she's trying to find a new apartment and job.I've matched with this chic(in the red dress) 3 times on hinge/bumble.

I think the posters name was redskins92 or something and he's banned from every single old match llc owns and bumble too I think. If match bans you I wonder if they can blanket ban you from all their sites.The reason I posted it is that if a man posted the same profile her would be reported and banned. Any mention whatsoever about sex - and 2-3 women report you and you’re done.
We hear it all the time. At this point OLD is something I passively scroll through while dropping a deuce. I agree with most posters when they say it’s pretty much a waste of time.
Once or twice a year I make a connection that comes to fruition, the ROI is not there for most men.
