That would make sense.

She did finally get back to me and appologized for the delay. It looks like we'll be meeting up on Halloween. Told her I've had bad experiences waiting on people and she claims she would never do that, but was legit busy with work. Anyway, seems like I have her in a good spot now where I'm holding the cards.

I'd be careful with stubble. In my experience discussing the matter with females, as a whole males vastly overestimate the enhancing qualities of their facial hair. I can't remember a girl telling me they love goatees, or mustaches. If they like facial hair at all, it's a full beard. With stubble you run the risk of looking like 15 year old trying to grow facial hair, even if you think you look like George Clooney.

Is it true that girls are into skinny guys? I'm 5 11 170 and I feel too thin

Anybody have luck with women using the broadcast feature on the OKC app? They write things like "free tonight for drinks" and suggest a place/neighborhood.

Definitely a preference thing. I'd say more girls are into athletic looking guys (i.e. aren't afraid of lifting a weight) than skinnier dudes. Same as a lot of dudes like curvy girls, but I like them quite thin.

I'm 6'2" 210 right now, and every girl I've spent time with recently compliments my arms.

Don't skip leg day.

Seriously??? LOL

That's what I figured. I've been spending a lot of time in the gym lately trying to get ripped

Yea... Peak weight was 189, I lost a lot when I went vegan

Do you guys pick up the girl on the first date at her place or do you just meet up at the restaurant/whatever?

Also, if you're vegan and hitting the gym there's a reasonable chance you have a 6 pack?

That's basically 90% diet. If you do, just flaunt that.

I'm even skinner than that but it doesn't seem to matter. 6 feet 155 lbs. Though I am sure I'd do better if I start going to the gym, which I plan to do this week.

Also, just generally, the gym is amazing for confidence.

I used to be about 270 and weak in college (fatty), lost 100 pounds in 12 months (skinny), and have slowly gained muscle/confidence since I was about 22 (29 now). There was a long time where I was 190-195, with some beach muscles. I put on about 20 pounds last winter to a max of 215, and wasn't working out as much. My confidence took a huge hit.

I've been doing crossfit pretty consistently for about two months, and put on a boatload of leg muscle/general strength. 210 now, and 210 when I moved out to CO in June are very very very different. I feel better about the way I look now than I did when I was 195 a year ago.

It just gives you the confidence to feel like people are interested in you, regardless of how handsome/tall you are. And girls pick up on that confidence.

Must of rated 200 girls on tinder in last few days, not a single match! Absolute madness lol

What am I supposed to do with a girl who doesn't drink? Our first date is on Wednesday and I met her on a group hike. So I guess this has nothing to do with online dating. She suggested going to a hookah bar but I have never smoked hookah and am not really interested in doing so. Maybe I'll just have drinks while she smokes. I have no idea why she doesn't drink but I guess I'll find out. She doesn't seem to have a great personality but she has the tall blonde great body thing going on.

I've stopped messaging women who don't drink.

I'd honestly find someone else to go out with. Bad personality + doesn't drink just wouldn't be a fit with me in anything other than a night.

But, if that's what you're going for, hookah bars are cool. I hadn't smoked hookah til I was in Istanbul, and it's pretty chill.

Statistically, just a small downswing.

Fair point

Anyone find as soon as girls get interested it becomes a bit of a turn off?
Two girls seems really keen but I don't fancy either so finding it hard to find motivation of date them.

I have a six pack. No shots of it though and it's going to be tough to get good ones because summers over. Plan is to try to pack on 8-10 pounds of muscle while maintaining my six pack.

TD,

What they said. Bad personality and doesn't drink? Sounds terrible, why waste your time?

ED,

Did you miss the tall blonde great body part?

Also I didn't spend much time with her on the hike so it's possible that I'm misjudging her. She seems bad at texting though.

I didn't message her. We met on a group hike.

TD,

As much as you often suck as a poster here, you are a decent looking smart young dude in DC. Tons of hot chicks around. No need to waste time with ones that aren't fun and exciting.

Definitely meet at the bar/restaurant. I think a lot of girls would be creeped out if you asked to know where they live before you've even met them before.

Don't knock hookah till you've tried it. I'm not saying that it's amazing, but do you have something completely against it? Why not just give it a try?

Other ideas would be to do something sporty/active (since she's into hiking she's at least somewhat active): bike ride, walk in the park with coffees, coffee date itself, bowling, minigolf.

Bike ride seems like a horrible idea.
