"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.

A few days ago I was discussing with a friend why it is much harder to find a hookup or date using online apps or sites than just 3-4 years ago.

My idea is simple: I am getting older. No matter I good look, have some other preferences and so on. Friend told me to read post about online dating reset,

In some moment it makes sense that hookup or date online game is changed in past years: sites and apps works worst than ever. You need to pay various credits and subscriptions, still with minimal chances to meet someone. Also, my impression is that most apps/sites have no goal to find person for you. I think they just want you to stay as much as they want so you can pay for subscriptions again and again.

So we would close that discussion if he didn't asked me do I see same change in my real life? That was interesting because in real life, in my ages I have better results than ever. Probably it comes with confidence, probably it comes with expirience.

I am confused, did hookup online and date omline culture is changed so chances for males are lower than ever? Or this is just my expiriece?

If you have, Experiences, opinions, "theories" about this?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Plenty of hookup sites but believe the hey day reached its peak around 2005.
