Oh well leaves more cougars for me then, 40 and over.Well you can have all the bitter old women on OLD all you want and I’ll stick to my younger, moldable chicks who are more than happy to submit and let me take the lead, and we can all be happy.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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.
You can have the cougars.Oh well leaves more cougars for me then, 40 and over.
But you don't get dates with OLD. A date is if a woman likes you after the first meeting, and then you set-up a second (or really the real first one out). What do you count as a date? Someone replying to your message? A first meeting where they are planning to see you after watching a movie and flake out and then suggest you find someone else? First meetings do not count as dates especially if they don't like you everytime they meet you and you develop a fantasy and they ghost you.I only have OLD to get dates.
Reschedule is the same as flaking, it means your date was cancelled for that time. Unless there is a medical emergency there is usually no reason to reschedule other than a low interest level.The other poster complaining about women not going on dates when a time was set up. I've never had a woman flake and not show up. Re-schedule yea but never flat out ghost.
Why do you do OLD then? More importantly, why are you defending it on here?As I've said it seems with OLD the only success I've seen with it LTR is when it's two lardball ugly people hooking up. Because you got two of them on the same page and they're undesirable so they're looking for the same thing. Otherwise for normal people I never see any real success stories. This is regarding coworkers, friends, family members. I have a cousin who's pretty good looking, especially when he was younger, probably close to Chad when he was in shape and did just fine in person game picking up much younger women. He got divorced and then later years after breakups tried online dating and basically the dates where dismal and gave up on it. I have a 6-4 cousin when he was in decent shape got a lot of dates from OLD back when it was a lot better using match. Relationships would last 6 months, mostly more like 3 and the women were kooky headcases and unstable, typical what one would expect from OLD. He too quit using it too. He has a girlfriend again seems to be going good but did not meet her off OLD.
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.
I've been speaking with friends, colleagues and others. Ladies get to their 30's and now want a real relationship. Dudes in their mid-30's to early 40's can still pick up ladies w/o children to play around with. The apps and choices have spoiled ladies and now they act like dudes; in terms of dating.
Any thoughts?
Only if they're super hot like that teacher I text with. She is hot for being around 50 just like Melania Trump is hot for her age.The average life span around the world as recently as the 1950's was just 48 years of age. Even in Europe the average life span was just 62 and the highest was in north america at just 68.
In that same time, the average age of marriage was 20 to 21.
The average age that adults became grandparents in that era was just 42.
Now we have guys on this forum who are trying to date 50 year old women.
The question is, what exactly is the purpose of all of these 40 year old single women? In previous generations, they served a function as grandparents, in church, and as community volunteers. Now, they are divorced, may not even have children, and are still trying to whor it up. It's hard to explain the degree to which culture has collapsed.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
A woman’s use for a man changes as she ages. She knows she can no longer attract the top tier man so she has to settle for the less desirable man. The man who is eager to legally, financially, emotionally, physically commit and give her resources.Ladies get to their 30's and now want a real relationship.
