"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Fun posting ridiculous OLD profile screenshots

"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.

This isn't really that egregious, more indicative of a common mindset on Tinder. In-your-face incongruity you really don't see anywhere else. Yes, let's show off out titties lying on the couch and say we're looking for long-term.

It's covered by icons but directly above it says "looking for long-term partner+". The "+" meaning "and possibly marriage".

It's threads like these that make me question my involvement here, we all know OLD is hurting bad, people can reverse search their own images and this site will come up, I definitely wouldn't be posting your own messages alongside a picture as you could be identified.

Explain to me how I can be identified by posting a screenshot off an app? Do you actually understand how technology works?

The messages that would need to be screenshotted are unique, nobody would possesses them outside of the people receiving them... More common sense than an understanding of technology.
 

"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 would require:

1. the other person even knows about the forum
2. is capable of navigating it
3. can find the post
4. remembers the conversation

However, we are posting OLD profiles, not conversations, for the most part. I also would not post anything here I deemed could ever blowback. I'm just not that interesting or important.

The irony of being on a hookup app and looking for long term and marriage.

It's definitely a flex, be it borne of revenge-seeking or power-tripping

People have gotten long term relationships from Tinder, but Hinge and Bumble are known more for longer term relationship seekers.

From what I've seen with old the successful relationships tend to be ugly fat people. Because usually they're going for the same thing so its easy for them to both find a fatty. Unlike a guy whos not an ugly lardball that has standards. So yes, i think fat ugly people seem to do better on old since their bar is low. A lot of fat and ugly women on old. Thats just what I've seen irl personally. I work a job with young women like just out of hs and college and none of them are on old. All meet guys traditional way. Only ones I see on old i worked with was a couple fatties.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I’d ask that readers kindly refrain from posting their opinions about OLD on this thread.

This thread is not meant for that - there are, several other threads on the site dedicated to taking about OLD please take your opinions there.

As stated this thread is meant to act as a repository for screenshots of absurd/funny profiles that we come across on OLD, nothing else.

Thanks!

In woman words: I expect you to pay my way.
I can see the emotional baggage already on her face. Single mom looking for someone mature, emotionally stable :D :D By the end of the 'about me' section the pretense was falling and she came as close as possible of saying she's looking for a dupe.:rolleyes:
 

"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
