It depends. If you are reasonably good looking and even moderately successful, then it is good times for men above 30. Obviously there are other factors, how picky you are (if you are a 5/10 and want to date only 9/10, you will still have trouble). But I would say that it is easy to line up a lot of dates.

If you are a woman over 35..... well good luck to you.

heh.

I'm sure you'll be fine SGT. Give it some time so your head is in the right place first.

That about sums it up.

Is SGT a woman? I tried reading a few post and still couldn't tell.

I think if you are smart about it you can still have success.

This may help

Yes

Thanks PhatPots, I'll check that out, too. Clearly I need all the help I can get, lol

(I'm a woman, too.)

That Amy Webb talk is one of the most tilting speeches I've ever seen. Her husband must be the ultimate beta male to be with someone as insanely picky and demanding as her. People like her only help to encourage the delusional standards people put forth for online dating.

Awright fellas...

Kinda post then run away as it's probably so embarrassing. I went with that though as I didn't want to have to lie, maybe as a result of her wanting to know exactly what I was doing all the time before we had met.!!

Drinking mid week kinda ****ed me as well. I'm a light weight and I prefer sex where you can actually perform 100%. The two nights though did clear things up for me in terms of what I want and I want a romantic LTR

Chip you want pics of naked ?! !!

I've kinda suspected BG and Chip are the same person for a while now. Starting to feel more confident I'm right.

Yeah it's me ATF and Chip

No,that's definitely not true.

As long as you don't read any Andrea Dworkin,Amy Webb or Steve Harvey relationship manuals,you will do aight

Yowsa,

Nice to see you back. Sucks to hear you haven't had much luck.

I'm curious, what are your rough dating stats over the last year? How many first dates have you been on? How many led to 2nd? How many different dating platforms are you using?

Oh, I've been around. I usually read this thread & a couple others here on my lunch break, there are some pretty entertaining threads

I don't keep track, but backtracking & summarizing the last few -

• I met a guy last night who I don't want to see again, although he wanted to see me again.
• Met a different guy Saturday afternoon, mutual disinterest.
• Met someone in February who was supposedly separated & we went out 3 times, I knew that wasn't going anywhere & he faded away, which is fine.
• In December I went out with a guy 6-7 times & then he suddenly blew me off with no warning. That was tough because he seemed really into me & I saw potential, but it's for the best it happened so early. He didn't break my heart, but he seriously pissed me off for being such a coward. I'd much rather be told they're no longer interested/met someone else/we live too far apart/whatever. Our last communication was him texting me he had the flu, I said something like "sorry you're not feeling well" & he replied "thanks babe, I'll be coming to see you soon". Then he apparently blocked me. Not cool.

Before those, there wasn't anyone memorable. I'm not super picky as far as what I'm looking for, but there are some really bad options & I'm not going to make "dating" a full time job.

Oh - and I'm on POF, OKC & back on Match.

I actually disagree. While I would never date that woman her endgame strategy actually involved her doing a ton of work and not wasting anyone's time by going out on dates or stringing them along.

Those standards were definitely picky but for a mid-30s women who wants to date exclusively Jewish men and is looking for a husband her method seems pretty good.

There's nothing to indicate her husband is a "beta" either. He's probably a nerd like her. Maybe I have a different definition of beta male.

This what I think. She set her goals and did her homework and realized that there was no point in having a bunch of dates that weren't going to go anywhere.

Also the part where she says she talks about checking out her competition I think is important. She puts up good pictures of herself instead of pics where she looks dumpy and plain. Then she actually put some effort into writing a profile.

Its not rocket science, but if you put garbage in you get garbage out.

Gee thanks man.

Yowsa

That's tough with the cold shoulder after sending that kind of communication. I would think it's really hard, did you see anything that reveals why the guy did that to you?

Coming back to this after a relationship it's incredible how much it takes up of your resources. Seems as though you still know what you want or what is good enough?

Chip

Have you had any disorder in the past and not seen to it at all?

I trust you. Give me some time.

Tough stretch, but there's no time table for dating and meeting the right person. Like in poker, sometimes you bink that one tournament early and sometimes you have to grind for awhile to make it.

Keep at it, and treat online dating as a game/part time fun.

NSFW and you guys will eye roll to the moon. And I don't care.

Reddit chica and I are on the final countdown to our Friday night sleepover. We are wired. (reddit chic meeting is back a few pages) Yesterday she texted I don't want to dance. Let's just eat for fuel and play. I said that's all I want, thought it would be slimy to mention. She said you're lucky it's me.

Messaging a poly in Mountain View CA. Asked last night how long I've been divorced. I see that as an interest signal.

Texting with a woman near Yosemite. Last night she sent '800 texts! let's talk on the phone'

lol old.

Relationship with my kids is improving dramatically, and ex is being deemed a nutjob by cops, cps, kid's pediatrician, various school administration folks.

Bring on court. First date is June 23, our mediator is being assigned this week.

Being nearly divorced has been great beyond my wildest expectations.

PM sent to Toronto. Let's see what happens.

That's what I do. If I just wanted anyone, I have tons of options. But I'd rather be alone than be in another unsatisfying relationship.

Agreed yowsa.

I'm finding I like long distance, because all I really want is someone to care. I don't want to disrupt her life much, because I like mine.

So the non-mon route, and being in California where there's a demo base for it, works great for me.

Toronto girl is open to meeting new people, but she's deactivated. Anyone legit wants to pm me your okc (only) profile name, I'll forward it. Let her creep you. She's not shy.

Early 20s,cute, very progressive outlook.

If she likes you, I'd consider that a score for you. fwiw

**** me self declared witty person asks how your week was, I respond and she then asks how was my weekend !!

btw I train wrecked all you ****s as working pro grinders to Toronto girl, yw

edit she wants to learn poker
