Which site do you think is best or where you have had the most success?
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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.
Makes sense. I'd been wondering why my results were so much better on Hinge.Hinge is the only one worthwhile in my area.
Important to note again: The Match Group owns POF,Tinder, OKC, Match so they are all run by a predominantly female board of directors and thus do not favor males in the OLD process. Both Match Group and Bumble are publically traded companies that will do anything to bolster their bottom line at the expense of thirsty/desperate males.
Hinge is a separate company that works off a different matching algorithm that better favors the males vs other apps. Plus it only allows males/females to "like" a very limited number of people per day. This filters and reduces the amount of options presented to females at any given time, leading to better organization and more focus and communication.
The Match group DO own Hinge as well as Plenty Of Fish, OKCupid and Tinder.Hinge is the only one worthwhile in my area.

The looks part matters more than the size of the metro area. If you're not a top 10% man in a big city, you're wasting time. I'd argue that smaller towns might be a little bit better for swipe apps since smaller town women do not have the absurd numbers of choices that big city women have.Dating apps only make sense if you are living in a big city and look like the rock . Otherwise you will be waisting time .
live in a smaller town and can confirm this is not the case ended up deleting everything after a fortnight complete waste of time , even if chicks in smaller towns don't have the options they seem to firmly believe they deserve them and will just mess around until they actually want sexThe looks part matters more than the size of the metro area.

I stand corrected. I guess Match Group took over a 51% stake in Hinge since 2018. I haven't really kept up with acquisitions over time for this company.The Match group DO own Hinge as well as Plenty Of Fish, OKCupid and Tinder.
FaceTime before the meetup. I’ve had girls insist on that.Here and there you might catch a good one. This also happened. But it's not worth the investment.
