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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
