"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.

Reddit is nowadays plastered with AFCs asking the same question; I dont have much luck/ get no matches or likes/ wwhat can I do to get more matches/ my ratio is I liked 1000 women while 3 liked me back

it seems like men get punished for being lazy. Men have been getting women WITHOUT Tinder for thousands of years, yet somehow it feels like the modern male cant do without OLD even though they have no success with it.. :rofl:
 

"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.

Well to be fair, dating ( especially post covid ) got even more complicated than what the historical norm was

and so the quality of women ( in terms of character and personality ), so till an extent I emphasize with the guys

as you need to put a lot of effort and the results are not there ( most of the times )

There is an epidemic of mental problems with both men and women, and no one seems to talk about it

ego is crazy high with both sexes these days which leads to frame wars

Exposé said it best bro.
“Seasons change”.
I saw data that in 2025 -65% of couples said they met via online dating.

guys. guys… please ofc it depends what you look like . OP rates himself as a 7 (or whatever)
But everyone has personal bias obvs.
He’s probably a 5 or sub5 smv in reality.

No I get that.

But heres the conundrum; a WOMAN who decides it time to be in an LTR WILL find a man because men wil literally line up. A man on the other hand ...he can "decide " its time for a " wife" and ZERO women will respond...

So 65 % of relationships were formed online and yet 65% of men dont date at all....

So 35 out of a 100 men date. A smaller percentage finds their partner online , still the 65% can remain accurate.

Its stats like these that leave men dumbfounded and confused. The definition of insanity is doing the same shyte while expecting different results.

@ Gamisch
I edited my post re OPs looks and ofc that’s the main factor. For any guys on apps.
he’s probably 5 or sub5.

I can’t decipher your next point, you’ve moved on to something else.idk.
Apps are not great for finding “the one” no.
But for getting dates with reasonable looking chicks it’s working for me. I posted a screenshot of my # matches in this thread I think.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Yeah, very true this and
not discussed enough

a girl needs to be in the headspace to meet new guys, or for an LTR, etc

if she is not in the headspace for that, the courtship process will not go anywhere despite being the most perfect guy. Unless she is bipolar or any other mental problems

I also noticed that when a girl is focused on marriage she will play things very tight, more or less letting you know from the get go that she wants to marry and things have to progress fast. And noticed that at the end of the day it does not really matter with whom she would do it, as long as the guy is willing to give her what she wants

guess that this is how more “beta” guys get in ltrs and marriages, the woman settles for them

You can always lie to get the lay and then ghost her, but at the end of the day it is something that you can live with or not. Me personally I do not think is worth to smear your character for some p8ssy and I get plenty of failed courtships because not being willing to lie

The nerd thing is a secret, until whatever girl you are talking to calls herself a nerd first. Then you can confess and it is something to bond over.
Makes sense. Attributes with a negative stigma to society should only be mentioned to relate to someone. By doing this, it becomes a net positive. In hindsight, this is obvious, and I feel silly for making such a rookie mistake. This seems like it's universally important, not just dating apps. Thanks for the reply.

Can we have a serious discussion about whether these takes are delusional or not?

I bet the farm that you dont have no woman looking like these ready for action RIGHT NOW, and I doubt you'll have something similar in 2027

No diss, but I feel like you're rating scale is unrealistic. Most men would have to thank all the Gods and devils if they EVER get a sniff from women like these.
Please post a picture of a "5"/10 female, buddy. She will have to be healthy weighted, which for a 5ft4'ish woman is 108lbs > 142lbs. Thats what a healthy weight male 5 should be dealing with in a normal dating landscape. He shouldn't be stooping to fat 5ft4, 175llb pigs if he is a lean 5ft10, 163lbs man.

Let me guess, you're from Texas where the women are the same size as the SUV's or Trucks out there - so to you a fat disgusting Hog is a "mid", right?
