Text her to set up plans when you want to see her again...or don’t. Either way.

Yah I suppose. Maybe she’s a dating mastermind.

I’m more obsessed with Instagram for the moment. I don’t really care about the actual purpose of IG, but it’s kinda fun trying to build followers organically. I played an 8 hour poker session and during any down time I was just browsing Tinder and following any profiles I saw for cute girls. A surprising # will follow back. We’ll see if it pays any dividends down the road.

On the dating front I’m a bit apathetic. I have a date set up with a girl on Thursday who I think might be DTF, but other than that, nothing planned for the moment. The 2 main girls I wanna see are both out of town until early next week, so I’ll hopefully be able to see them shortly after.

I think I focused way too much on quantity instead of quality. I don’t really want to meet any of the girls where we exchanged like 5 pointless messages between Tinder and Whats. I’m more interested in the few girls I talked to where we had discussions with some substance.

If you're like me and have 50 pics of food you ate and a couple at bars with friends not so much.

I'd be curious to hear TRs from people who slide into DMs regularly and have success.
My IG is 90+% food pics (broodread shameless self plug ) and I’ve had a lot more success meeting girls with ig than any dating apps. IG also paints me as as interesting person through being wel traveled and having more money than most people my age without having to say so which is nice.

I pretty much just follow a bunch of local food accounts and decide who I’ll message based on who engages with me through stories, liking pictures, or DMs (every girl I’ve met has actually DMd me first)


It’s nice in that my success rate is actually ridiculous and conversation is just that. It’s a conversation until we find a reason to meet (which is easy because mutual interest) but the meetings themselves are a lot more platonic and I haven’t felt any desire to go beyond that with anyone I’ve met yet. It’s an effective way to make friends that are women atleast

I’ve also had success branching out of food word via women I’ve met irl who I have follow me or girls who I’m ready to get contact from online. I just ask to swap instas instead of numbers and I think it creates greater investment as I’m able to come across as an actual person without having met the girl yet

Hmm. Hinge seems to have enforced a daily swipe limit.

Doorbread, so it sounds like you’ve had zero success from IG.

Mmm half full kinda outlook for me. I've met some girls I can call friends who I share mutual interests with. I'd call it a success. If we're strictly equating success to amount of women I've banged from meeting via IG then no I suppose not, but women generally are more engaging with me after stalking me on social media

Think I might be cursed in Bogotá.

Had a 1st date planned for Thursday early evening, but girl said she had some job interviews that ran long. Seemed like a legit excuse b/c she was super apologetic after, but not sure if I'll end up seeing her.

Was planning to have the clingy girl come over last night at 6PM and spend the night, but she never got back to me after 4PM and then this morning claims she's super busy at work and had to stay until 10:30PM, but still wants to meet again soon. Probably only gonna see if her if it's like a mid-week after work for a quick bang.

Had a date planned for 4PM today with a super cute morena (probably the best looking of any girl I'm talking to). She even seemed super excited and told me she was getting ready 3 hours before the date. Of course it's been thunderstorming like crazy with no signs of letting up. So I'm not sure if we'll be able to meet up today. Getting kinda sick of the rain and cold.

I have a date set up for Wednesday with a really good looking yoga/travel girl who super liked me on Tinder (that almost never happens except by fatties). The girl who's in LA right now in Gaddy's bed that I posted a ton of pics of returns Monday, so it's shaping up to a busy week, but probably these dates will all get derailed too. I'm ready to get out of Bogotá soon, but I wanted to see how it went first with some of these girls b/c they actually have some potential beyond just being attractive.

I just put up photos of guys who look like me doing cool stuff but you can't really tell if it's me or not.

Works fine.

Sunglasses are key.

I wouldn't ever go to those lengths, but when I was younger everyone always said I looked a lot like Frankie Muniz. I'd have a ton of great content. Not like anyone in Mexico or Colombia could tell the difference.

Had a sorta funny "cool story bro" incident that made me think of this thread - at a bar last night, a gal is all over me giving me the "I have a thing for the short stubble beard look"; I say something inane/stupid like "I like that you have so much energy", and, as if her response should explain everything, she says "oh that's because I'm a Latina".

Hinge put a profile in front of me and said it thinks we should meet because it thinks we are most compatible based on our Hinge activity. I’m not sure how it figures that. She’s cute, a lil old at 38, but doesn’t check if she wants kids or smokes or any of that. And she lives in West Hollywood. I pretty much auto-pass on Beverly Hills and anything with West in it. Not areas very convenient for me, and I feel they’re more likely to be stuck up. Is this feature part of my preferred membership that I want to cancel but no one from Hinge will respond? Anyone else had a woman put in front of them as most compatible?

Hinge suggested I was most compatible with the CEO of Craigslist. I'm not sure what sophisticated algorithm they must have used to figure out I might be interested in a multimillionaire Online dating thread.

Hinge recommendations were garbage, but thought the app overall was very good.

Not sure if I ****ed this one up or made a wise decision.

Was supposed to see a really cute morena at 4PM, but it was raining hard nonstop until about 6PM. A little before 6 I asked her if we should still meet up and she said she was still keen and had no plans. She said she's not really into drinking or partying, and I said I'm not either, usually I prefer something quiet. So she replied, well what if you come over here? I figured there was a 98% she lived with roommates or family so I said "good idea, but I could send you an Uber to come over here instead, my place is nice and quiet and in a good area" She said ok, so I told her to let me know when she was ready so I could send an Uber.

Didn't hear anything for 2 hours so I asked if she changed her mind and she replied "I think so, it's that I don't wanna leave my place". She told me she doesn't live w/family (not sure about roommates though) so I offered to go to her place and she said that's fine. I was asking for the address and trying to firm up the details, but she kept taking like 15 minutes to respond to each query. Eventually I just said screw it and told her I'm not going and she responds "awww are you sure baby? Let me know if you change your mind".

Her slow responses killed so much time that it was no dark and I didn't really want to head off to some unknown area to meet a girl I'd never met and didn't even chat with all that much. I did Google streetview and the area looked pretty sketchy. Also I was kinda tilted b/c she was being so unresponsive. I guess in retrospect I should have gone straight to her place at 6PM instead of suggesting mine, but she also could've told me she didn't feel like coming to my place right away instead of waiting 2+ hours.

Sucks b/c she has some of the best pics I've seen and seemed really keen, but I think the flakiness of Colombians is really starting to wear on me. It takes them forever to do anything and they don't seem to have much consideration for other people or their time. Not all, but many of them I've talked to lately.

Depending how you want to label this one, I've now been on 3 dates and had either 3 or 4 flakes.

Kinda weird how Colombian girls are so different to Mexican girls in this regard. I think I had 1 flake out of 25 in Mexico. I think Colombians just don't realize that they're actually being super rude to hold up somebody's plans like that. I'm scared to see what Medellín will be like. It's supposed to be more flaky than Bogotá.

On the bright said, I ended playing online poker for 4 hours and won like 6 buyins. I probably would've gone to the casino instead or tried contacting another girl though if she hadn't been wasting my time.

What you're currently experiencing is really similar to what online dating is like for women. Welcome to the club Online dating thread

If they're anything like Peruvians the culture is extremely laid back with respect to time and being late - to the point where it's super offensive.
