Recommendation - avoid online lingo

[thermodynamic]

I often can barely tolerate going on any type of "men's dating" website, reddit page, etc. due to the ammount of online lingo and time spent discussing irrelevant cheating bitches and simps. Whenever I meet some guy in real life and I suspect he has studied "game" online, I immediately become skeptical of him. I would say avoiding language like "incel, HB, "the wall" etc. is a good idea. If hear a guy mentioning this stuff in real life, it's not a good look. The cooler dating coaches like Alan Roger Currie don't use this type of language.

I agree. I avoid using that lingo. I don't even use a lot of that lingo on this board.

LTR here - long term relationship IRL …
Lingo is too much of a translation problem.

While you're talking about RP terminology, it brings to mind people who use "online lingo" - even on the this board. Saying things like "cos" instead of because etc. Just don't do it, don't do it here or in texting. It's a DLV, it's not cool, it's ignorant.

Having a good vocabulary, grammar and diction is something that will differentiate you. I know I'm in when a woman says to me "I had to look that word up!", women talk about equality, but they want someone to look up to - language is arguably the main interface between humans, if you're superior, it is noticed.

I'm not sure being 46 and using the word "cooler" casually is any better of a look. But yes, we should all police our language to appease the 40 post wonder.

I like cool girls who look up to cool guys, so I talk in a cool way with girls. I can also speak in an educated manner if I so desire.

I am not actually 46, somewhere there was a mistake in my registration
