Im about to be 40 and would never date a 40 something year old woman. Don’t even get why guys do this..

Recently re-made tinder with actual effort put into my pics. Bio is "Completely genuine human male seeking equally genuine human female for very real human social interactions"

Currently have 68 matches and 99+ likes (ya tinder gold go away, not payin) after about a week.

Problem is this is at the same time I have a consistent FWB so my drive to get random poon is basically nonexistent, so it almost feels like a waste.

Girl slid into my instagram DMs the other day though which was probably the most flattering thing that's ever happened to me

Online dating works for a 8/10 guy and up. An 8/10 guy is tall, good-looking, and lean. This is not an old story.

If you can't get whales to reply then you're probably a 6/10 or lower. Then, your point is right online dating is not for you, and your chances are better in real life. Since the whales in online dating got inflated self-worth because shes matching with 9/10 chads who either ghost them or just wanted a ONS, but they still think that they have a chance with the chads.

But for a 9/10 chad like me, it works wonder, since you don't even have to go out, and the pool is infinite.

Yea you HAVE to be above average as a guy to get any likes at all. And to really have leverage (where you get dates, women on the fly, dont get too interested into the one or two matches you got that week) you probably have to be top 10%.


I think any guy out there can get SOME matches on online dating with self improvement and building a profile correctly. Not single now, but when I was I loved the validation I got from all the matches

What exactly is cope about what I said? I stated pretty clearly that it sucks if you're looking for something meaningful and I don't think that's incorrect based on the number of men & women that complain about OLD on a daily basis. Everyone knows already there's a select group of guys that get 100+ matches constantly and they're the only ones getting casual sex from the app, but I was talking about dating, not ONS. The other potential controversial point I made is that most girls worth a damn aren't on OLD because they're either already in relationships or have a large enough social circle they don't need to rely on it (i.e. have a profile but mostly for instagram followers or when bored but rarely go on/meet people on the app).

I personally lucked out and found a girl that explicitly said she wants a relationship and wants to build upon that. It helps that I’m a decent 6-7/10 and she’s looks matched to me. Gonna be one month soon that we’ve been dating and having fun and we’re not seeing anyone else. Before that I was getting nothing.

We can all get gfs srs.

I don't see why it would fall off so hard, but that is what I hear everywhere
Its fallen off but also they changed it to make it mostly paid. You might get some matches in the first week or two but then they will not even show your profile to sloots unless you pay. Almost a stealth ban. So you can use it all you want but if you dont pay youre not put in the queue

Been doing pretty well sliding into insta DMs, much better quality than dating apps. Though results depends on you looking good and having a decent insta and not living in the middle of nowhere.

You think that way one minute but the second a decent looking female shows interest in you, you will do a 180 and “care” more about her than your MGTOW delusions

Suddenly she has more depth and purpose to her than all the rest of the cum dumpsters because she has a job and morals. Lol

No, he's right. Every woman has liked me before I liked them. Yeah I was attracted, but they came onto me while I didn't make any moves.

He’s not talking about sitting back and letting women do the pursuing though

He’s straight up advocating MGTOW because women don’t add any value to a man’s life in 2020 besides (maybe) casual one night stands. He’s also self admittedly bisexual so there’s the element of him putting more effort into other guys than women, but that’s digressing from the main point

No , I’m just not pussy whipped and don’t chase pussy

Dont overvalue the pussy , it means nothing in the grand scheme of things


Let me guess your hobbies are “clubbing and hitting up bars with the boys and lifting”

Nothing wrong with the lifting part but I digress

Have fun spending all your spare time trying to get pussy , i value mine too much and would rather be doing other things like making more money or enjoying hobbies but that’s just me

If your life ambitions are to just slay as many broads as possible then hey , that’s on you

It isn’t much of an accomplishment and your numbers don’t define you as a man

You can cope and argue it does but it doesn’t

Inb4 I don’t get laid , my kill count was like 10 before I moved out to SD and is in the high 30s now , so it’s more than tripled

I don’t like men , trannys and femboys maybe if they’re possible

You act like I’m going around chasing Henry cavil types but whatever helps you sleep at night dude

Keep slaving for the pussy

They went back to their FWBs, exes or started smashing the closest good looking guy to them in their area. Its like relationships coming up on summer, a lot of people make it quits and go hunting. You just gotta find that 'summer time' in the future and get stuck in.
