This is 80% of your "competition" on OLD

[CaptFinnBad]

That's part of the problem with all of this, the lack of options. Imagine being a decent and otherwise normal and functional individual but your only avenue to meet the opposite sex, whether you are a man or woman, is through old sites and apps. In the case of a man, imagine being totally average, which is made up of countless millions of individuals, and having little to no success with this. Imagine getting a handful of matches or responses, thoughts like "this may be the one" will begin to circle in your mind because of your lack of options. Now let's factor in experiencing a lot of time just messaging with nothing come it, or maybe last minute flakes or just getting a single date and then nothing......that is eventually going to have an effect on you, especially if you have no means of venting about your frustrations.

There are tons of people out there with no one to confide in when it comes to their personal issues that they face, which is not good for mental health. I guarantee you this guy is most likely not that bad of a person, he simply just was at a tipping point and this woman's behavior triggered him and set him off. It's really not difficult to see why and how stuff like this happens and I'm sure it's not all that uncommon, especially since COVID hit 2 years ago. I actually feel bad for a lot of men who otherwise don't know any better and have honestly no clue what to do.

Makes sense.

Although it makes it easier for us.

These two paragraphs did capture a quite typical male experience for men in their 20s/30s these days.

Guys like this...pathetic dudes with no game and no clue.

I skipped a first date with a guy – the way he responded shows I dodged a bullet

CANCELING a date can be disappointing under some circumstances, but one shell-shocked woman felt lucky that she ditched a potential boyfriend after his response terrified her. After telling her dat…

Tbh, not to diss the op, but this article sounds fake

But most women if you dont text them enough from old they simply move on and ghost because some other simp is hitting them up.

Had one old girl go off on me and block me because it was 12am and i had to work early in the morning and told her i had to go to bed and she got pissed. Never even met her and was already acting that way.

blessing in disguise—you weeded out a needy attention wh*re

Nah bro...trust me this stuff happens, I've seen plenty of women who show me the crazy messages they get and it's not much different than that.

This is the reason why websites like this and the infamous one with the ".is" server exist.

 

[MatureDJ]

Of course it was. Dudes who get "mad" over this type of thing simply don't get enough dates so ones they do get take on some huge meaning to them.

This explains it. It's OVER for NotEnoughDateCels.

 

[BackInTheGame78]

I'm not defending that psychopath, but women give these excuses and expect the guy to just back off.

She was talking with this guy for 5 days only to flake on him in the last minute, what did she honestly expect to happen? The old saying "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" applies here.

This happens with onlyfans girls too, many of these simps stalk the girls. Women need to start taking responsibility for their actions, stop leading lonely desperate men on and instead just ignore them.

Or the guy just could have acted normal and said "Oh, that sucks, I hope you feel better. Get back to me when you do and maybe we can reschedule."

And not act like a fvcking deranged psychopath who has never been on a date before and that was his one shot to get laid his entire life.

Most men are like this guy, clueless and beta af. Atleast 60% of men will be lifelong incels

You aren’t wrong but we gotta quit with the Corey Wayne stuff of “oh no problem babe get back to me when you can. String me along, play with me like a cat plays with a string, I’ve got no other options and I’ll be waiting right here when you get ready to pity text me.” Don’t act like a jackass but don’t be some revolving door for women either. She cancels, that’s fine, I’m gone. And by gone I mean you will never see or hear from me ever again, you can text but I’ll never get it because you’ll be blocked. Let her Go bother someone else with your games and wishy washiness. I have never ended up in a relationship with a woman that was flaky in the beginning. Never.

Exactly, we shouldn't be rewarding flighty/flaky women by continuing to give them attention.

That's because you take things too personally. I've banged many chicks that rescheduled with me.

Telling them to get back to you isn't rewarding them, it's forcing them to express interest and letting you know if it's a true flake or if she was being honest.

The amount of bitterness on this forum is palpable. Many of the posters would do well to let go of the anger. You'll do a lot better with women, trust me. Nobody wants to date "angry guy"

That’s not taking things too personally. That’s having respect for yourself. Once she knows she can get away with it she will do it forever to you. She knows all she has to do is text later and apologize or make an excuse and you’ll invite her over.

If she was interested she wouldn’t have flaked the first time. Going on the date IS showing interest.

Nah...maybe she'll do it to YOU, but not to me. It's all in how you handle yourself.

80% of women on OLD are exactly the same.

Travel does not equate to a personality. Just about everyone loves dogs. And literally everyone loves food.

Five days of texting?! Oh my! Too much investment on his part. He should have visited this site for guidance.
2-3 messages on OLD, ask for number, 2-3 messages over text or short phone call and ask her out. He could have saved himself time and disappointment.

This advice is from people terrible at texting and afraid they will screw up. If you are good in that domain, that's not a rule, more like a hinderance.

This is how civilizations collapse.
