"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.

Harridan laments that women over age 50 are invisible to men

"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.

While it might be true for that particular harridan, it's not true for women 50+ in general.

Women 50+ in general have never been in more demand. There are plenty of stories in recent years about women 50+ going to Match, OurTime, and even swipe apps and having a ridiculous abundance of options. There are 50+ women who have dated in the last 10-15 years who have had more male options than they had in their teens/20s in the pre-internet/early internet eras. Tech methods are great for bailing out older women.

It's common for older women (even as young as 30s/40s women) to barely get acknowledged in real life but have hundreds of men chasing them once they put up their dating app or dating website profile.

Women 50+ can meet plenty of men 50+ even in real life, but they won't be able to match the abundance they'd get from a tech method.

I just found out my therapist was 50, i thought she was mid 40's, i would break her in half, i never have hooked up with a woman her age and it seems exciting to me. when i was 21 i hooked up with an airline attendant that was 10 years older than me, that was a good time.
