Quoted: It's Uncle Fluffy to the rescue. So listen up. The first rule of dating is to never spend money on a woman. The second rule of dating is not to take part in on line dating. Anyway, if you're going to meet a woman, have her meet up with you some place where you will not spend any money on her. Meet her at the park and you can walk your dog with her. And if she does not show up, then you can spend some quality time with your dog. And if she shows up, you can tell her to pick up after your dog. Or you can meet her in some coffee shop. But go there early and buy your own coffee. Wait a while and if she shows up, she has to pay for her own coffee. And when you meet a woman, you must act bored. If you show her any interest, it will make you look desperate. Keep looking at your watch and try to be slightly rude. If you show any interest in a woman, you are letting her know that you think that she is better than you. And when you are out with a woman, if she shows you the slightest bit of disrespect, just get up and leave her. Do not tolerate any disrespect. View Quote Most of this. Fluffy’s fundamentals are sound. I doubt he’s serious about the acting bored part, but I’d suggest changing that up to having something important/high value going on afterward that demonstrates that your time is valuable, you carved out a little window to meet her and see if she’s worthy of your time, and if she has potential, she may get access to more of your valuable time. BUT HERE’S THE CATCH: You can’t make the shit up. You can’t fake it. You need to have important shit going on, and your time needs to be valuable, and you need to determine whether she’s worthy of your time. On the dog poop, It might be kind of funny to hand her a bag as a bag as a male version of a shit test, just to see how she reacts. If she gives zero fucks and gets after it, that would be a pretty good sign that she may be worthy of walking your dog someday. |

Quoted: Quoted: Oof. Way to confirm to her that she made the right decision. The better response is to say nothing and let her wonder what she missed.

Quoted: It's not cold feet, but better options. Gals today have a stacked holding pattern of guys in orbit around them. View Quote This works both ways in the dating scene. The more successful the guy is the more he has a couple he's got on the line to see which one bites. When you have a couple you are working on then it takes the pressure off the prospect of the big date let down. Which in turn lets you have a dont give a fuck attitude which girls notice as confidence and are more willing to want to show up. Self fulfilling prophecy. Getting stood up does fucking suck and the worst is when they are texting or communicating basically right up to the date and then radio silence, no show, and then usually completely ghosted. I chalk the handful of times it's happened to me because each one of them I had met drunk as shit out at the bars gotten numbers and made plans. When the moment of truth came they weren't comfortable meeting, basically some rando, they drunkenly chatted with the week before. |

Meh. Got stood up by a girl twice. First time, she apologized and wanted to try again. Ok, so she did it again. She tries to apologize. No thanks, no third time. She got mad and talked shit about me to my friends and everyone else she knew.
Women are weird. |

I know it’s all easier said than done, but make the power move of not giving a fuck.

Quoted: Fine. Ride the couch and be miserable. Your loss... View Quote I get not crapping where you eat or whatever, but ruling someone out based on one hobby or interest seems to be pretty foolish and a sure ticket to catwomanhood. What are the actual chances of a middle aged person finding someone that checks all your imaginary boxes, along with actually having some kind of physical and mental attraction? Basically zero. At some point people are going to have to understand that at this age ( 40s and up ) you should start looking for a partner in life rather than some kind of imaginary perfect person. Life isnt a chickflick. |

She’s damaged goods now (barring an amazing excuse) but it shows a hole. You need to be sure you’re not investing until you’ve decided it’s worth investing in. I’ll circle back to the importance of being vs acting. If you fake your way in, it’s not going to end well. |

For a bunch that claim they don't like boring, want fun and adventure... They sure don't know what fun and adventure is. When I hear the "how come we never do anything fun" I remind them they chose to lounge in pajamas on the couch phone in one hand, remote in the other. I'm not letting someone else drag me down. You want to be a couch potatoe, fine. I'll go do something fun. Can't say I didn't invite you to partake in fun things. Claims to want fun. Never does anything fun. Bitches about it. Plays shocked I left them to go do something fun. I mute their calls and texts. I'm not feeding into their bullshit. You chose to be a bump on a log. Not me. I invited you to come with. You had a "bad day/week". All the more reason to join, but nooo... Not my problem. Their idea of fun-traveling to all inclusive tourist traps. To get shit faced, beach side. The irony. They live where people vacation and retire to... they can do the same shit here still on a 100 dollar bill... but that doesn't get the likes and shares quite like the week in Caribbean, Jamaica, Cancun, etc...

View Quote Exactly. Dropped is the key word. You’ve got more important shit to do. Why throw good time after the bad? When she no-showed, she’s not worth another 5 seconds of thought. It shouldn’t be OP’s job to provide an exit interview to help her future dating strategies (they never even had their first one!) You wouldn’t answer a spam phone call to tell them you don’t need their warranty and to stop calling you. You ignore the call and keep doing what you’re doing. |
