Just had a promising plate tell me, "I have a boyfriend"

[MatureDJ]

Of course, it was complete baloney.

It's OVER for AlreadyHaveABoyfriendCels.

 

[SW15]

WTF man! You're 55+ years old. I thought the boyfriend excuse would be dead in your prospective age group.

I thought the IHAB was fading away. I heard it more in the 2000s than post 2010. I have heard it once fairly recently. Also, I recently got an excuse about returning to an ex-boyfriend, which was complete crap too.

Who said I am macking 55 year-olds?

What do you expect then? They don't want wrinkly balls

Uh, I can remember only a few years ago getting carded trying to buy beer, so I think I'm doing very well for my age. Maybe the reasons why the body quits growing in stature means it doesn't age as quickly.

It seems really annoying to hear "I Have a Boyfriend" from women 30+, which is what you're likely dealing with at age 55+.

When I received an excuse from a woman for flaking on a first date due to a supposed reunification with an ex-boyfriend, she was 30+.

Unless you are really rich, you are not likely to get a woman more than 5 years younger. At your age, even 15 years younger is 40+.

Younger woman don't want the wrinkly balls of a guy nearing age 60 unless he has a lot of money.

I don't think that is true. A 40 year old woman is well within range of a 55 year old guy.

Of course, it was complete baloney.

I think one word, and a little inflection, would have done the job for you:

“And?”

Keep doing you my man. Last night a 23 year old asked me if I was 30. I was like no, 32. She was proud of herself. Could have absolutely taken her to pound town.

If that’s what you believe, then I have no doubt that when you reach that age… you’ll (subconsciously) self-regulate yourself to older women. And older women only.

I just turned 60. I’m average status. The only thing I have working for me is my ability to communicate and connect (and it still works). I’m not implying that I turn heads of every 20-30 year old woman, but all through my 50’s, I could still attract some 7’s in these age categories.

Again, if you are at least average and have confidence, you can still attract younger ones while in your 50’s. A lot of it could be right place at the right time… but it can happen.

You can really mess with them and laugh and say “whatever, you don’t need to lie. Show me a pic, prove it”.

 

[RangerMIke]

"I have a boyfriend." = "I am not interested in you."

Just take the rejection... forget about it.... move on. Anything else you do is a waste of time and energy.

 

[MatureDJ]

She doesn't want to be your 'plate'.

 

[BeExcellent]

And that, Gentlemen is how it’s done. Hats off to the Dutchman.

 

[Ricky]

As long as you keep flirting with them successfully and don’t let the boyfriend comment phase them you can close them.

in fact i generally make a plan to go someplace with them

 

[MatureDJ]

So folks here say that after I get this response to me asking her if she's like to get together sometime, I should continue to spend time talking to her, to the detriment of working on another plate?

 

[Bokanovsky]

I think one word, and a little inflection, would have done the job for you:

“And?”

In this day and age, the most appropriate response would be: "So do I"

If I'm forced on dating women only within 5 years of my age, I don't feel like continuing to mack.

I'm sorry, I just think that trying to play off her responding with this just makes the man look desperate. Does Chad take that attitude that he has to somehow game her to make her forget about her "boyfriend", or does he just move on to the next plate?
