"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.

So this study showed that the best gender ratio for men on OLD is in America, where "only" 73% of profiles are male. By contrast in France 81% of profiles are male, in Britain it's 85%, Spain 87% and Italy 91% (I think this is also before accounting for fake profiles but I haven't checked if they did that or not, just saw the graph in a youtube video and the study link).

This makes me ask some questions:

1 - Assuming women are meeting men irl, how are they meeting men?
2 - If women are meeting men irl, why are such comparably vast numbers of men online but only a tiny number of women? are women meeting only a small minority of men irl?
-- Or are women actually not meeting men anywhere, but they are more content to live in celibacy rather than use OLD while men are willing to use OLD?
--- Or is it that men and women are both meeting in reality, but women delete their apps while meeting someone while men stay on the apps while meeting someone?

What do you guys think?
 

"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.

I think women have men throwing themselves at them all the time so why would they want to use OLD to meet total strangers? A decent looking guy goes into a bar and nothing happens. A decent looking woman goes into a bar and she's going to get lots of male attention. Change "bar" to club, work, grocery store, gas station and pretty much any other social setting and you'll see why very few women of quality have to lower themselves to the level of OLD.
