Nerds and socially uncalibrated people are generally not doing a lot of in-person approaching.nerds or socially-uncalibrated, or frauds?
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Thank you.OP, if you're even moderately attractive, you shouldn't have much trouble meeting guys.
All you have to do is be outgoing and flirtatious with guys you meet in public, and make an effort to showcase your femininity.
Yeah, those muscular beach boys are too busy with their smartphones.corrector, if there were no women on the internet, chances are more men would approach them real time when the men left their homes.
I think I get what you're saying, not sure.Yeah, those muscular beach boys are too busy with their smartphones.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
I just never thought it through before on who would be on OLD.Nerds and socially uncalibrated people are generally not doing a lot of in-person approaching.
hmm, good point.The thing is the quality guys on OLD do not need to convince you of their quality, while the mouth pieces will huff their own farts.
The guy doesn't have to convince you of quality but he does need to try a bit, no pic is prob not good honesthmm, good point.
I wonder if it was some of those profiles I chatted with that had no pic? Maybe I missed out on high quality, was right under my nose.
I used to drift into like friendzoning them if I didn't see a pic. How do you know if you're not chatting with same gender or underage or a bot or some form of A.I. software?
I've been on that meetmee site before and had that impression it was a computer program I was chatting with. Just a hunch, gut feeling.
There's one more type of guy on OLD!!! The A.I. guy, lol.
It doesn't help that dating gets more difficult the older you get. We're all more set in our ways and less likely to take any sh1t.Thank you.
Its the turning off I don't know how to do.
Marathon dates and marathon phone calls, "I love yous" in the first few weeks and changing my schedules and hobbies to please him.
And.
Pretending I want to go all the way when I'd really just like to be affectionate, make out, you know?
Now I know that escalation is a default of guys. As far as I know, this isn't so much the case for girls. But I've refused to learn more about the game until now.
I'm forever in the 15 yr old schoolgirl crush mindset with no pressure to have sex. I like it there. Its fun and safe(no stds and no never had one)and carefree.
Red, after reading on this site for almost a year straight plus a year and half total sporadically, I realise how important going all the way is for guys and I understand.
So I decided to first determine what I'd like to see in a sex partner and I'm already succeeding in improving my appearance to attract the specifics.
I've never thought so strategically in my life.
I don't feel dishonest anymore about developing game to get what I truly want, instead of just accepting what fell into my life serendipitously because of scarcity(my inner game needed work too)
This was a lot to post, lol
I just now saw a romantic movie 'all my life' and was thinking all of this.
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.
Yes. I agree.It doesn't help that dating gets more difficult the older you get. We're all more set in our ways and less likely to take any sh1t.
I've always been pretty selfish in the way I've structured my life, responsibilities etc. but I've gotten a lot more stubborn in my 30s.

I only send Dvck pics when asked. My photos were legit. My matches would often FaceTime me to make sure. Not married. Was not in LTR. Looking for more than just sex. Not a couple. Nerd, yeah. I’ll cop to that. Fairly socially-calibrated. I frauded my height by an inch.
Lots of fine people on OLD. Lots of weirdos too. Just like IRL.
Don’t something like 40% of couples now meet online?
OLD is not everyone’s cup of tea. But but it shouldn’t be condemned. Made my life so much better.
Perfect.OLD worked for me. I’ll be getting married this spring to a beautiful, zero-drama woman. It’s worth a shot if you’ve never tried it before. In my view, the trick is to write your profile to attract the one person you want, instead of trying to cast a wide net and go for numbers.
Why don't you want sex? It sounds like you have hang ups, guilt or shame about it. Also, your post acts as if it's only guys who get any pleasure out of sex. Don't you enjoy it too? Sex is just a normal, healthy, natural human need, so I don't get your post at all.Thank you.

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Can't put everyone in the same basket. If one goes on Tinder or Seeking arrangement looking for a relationship; they could be sorely mistaken. Match, eHarmony, and at one time OKStupid, then it is/was possible. With many people of both genders always looking to upgrade, that is a big issue. Relationships take work. It's easier to stray when things get tough. Thus, we have these types of people on OLD.A quote borrowed from an 2016 thread that describes thoroughly, the types of guys available in an online dating site.

Have you heard of a different type or if you've been on an online dating site, are you in a different category or do you agree this is the complete list?
I've changed in the last two weeks. I think there was something biochemically off with me. I will update when I get a new boyfriend.(having regular, committed, loving sex again....I'll be able to tell by how my body acts and responds and how I do emotionally when I must spend time away from him)Why don't you want sex?

My advice could not be comprehensive, as I don't have the experience of guys like Atom.Questions...
What did your lady write in her profile, that differentiated her from all the other women you could have reached out to instead? Or was it the other way around? Did you differentiate yourself and she reached out to you first? Any thoughts/advice/insight, that you could offer, from the other side, for us more traditional females, living in this current dating world?
