"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.

Match Group Announces Layoffs

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Sales miss estimates. Perhaps men are seeing that swipe apps are destined to fail for most of them.

Match Group owns Tinder, Hinge, Match, Plenty of Fish, and OkCupid.
Maybe if they actually started matching people instead of ripping them off.

You can only sell a con for so long.

At least some men finally got laid (off).
 

"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.

I used to OWN their stock before the split with AIC ... Made good money... That company owned 90% of the online dating market

I don't see 8% as a significant number.

That company going bankrupt would be beneficial to society.
Imo this company wrecking the dating market is beneficial to their handler's goals. Somewhere, the WEF is smiling.

This is actually a fairly big deal - it indicates a general decline in simping.

Nah
More like Match got greedy during inflation and decided to double the cost of memberships across all platforms.
Hey if it means less competition it works for me
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

It is not the only platform for simping. OnlyFans has a ton of simps.
I don't know what percentage of girl next door types are on Onlyfans, but for the average woman I would think this means less easy attention.

Ofcourse this happens.

The average bloke has a better change to winning at the casino than winning on OLD. You can't and wont pay for something that doesn't gives you any value in return. Its like paying a restaurant full price to maybe and probably not get some mediocre food at best.

Some of these sites may have tried to work at one point, but threw in the towel when they realized it was hypergamy run amuk.

If they started kicking out bots, girls looking for attention, being rude or waste mens time maybe men would still pay for a shot.

I dont think the issue is not scoring itself but more the time/effort wasting issue.

Does a girl matches but doesnt write nor replies? give her a warning after the 3rd time then kick her out after the 5th, nobody forced her to like someone she didnt like.

Also if a profile is not active from 3 months just delete it instead of keeping it floating while the girl simply deleted the app.

Men punish wrong doing at some point.

OF is not about girls exploiting men.
OF is exploiting women by giving the hope they can make money by exploiting men.
