    Tipping Discussion

    What do you guys do when it comes to tipping? Generally speaking, if I am being served by a waiter/waitress in a sit-down restaurant I will have my starting point be 20%. If the service is very exceptional, I will increase it. If the service is mediocre or even poor, I will decrease it. If it...

    Any of you older guys employ S&D on family members with success?

    So I am currently dealing with the realities of growing older in that family members who I have been very close to my entire life are slowly becoming more detached. My younger sister in particular, whom I have always been extremely close to and shared a strong bond (particularly due to our...

    Cold Approach vs. OLD

    I think my opinion on picking up women on OLD vs cold approach has slightly changed. On one hand, I still stand by OLD being a possible outlet to get women, but on the other, I am starting to think it’s actually easier to get women cold approaching and much easier to get hotter women. I banged...

    Simone Biles quit on the country and her teammates....

    And yet our society and the media want to praise her for it. All under the guise of "mental health." Give me a break. Does anyone else find this pathetic? Let me first say that I am all for someone taking care of their mental health. However, to quit, because that is what she did, on her...

    Stop worrying so much about women (race, etc.); focus more on your SELF

    Going to get on my soap box very briefly. I think its sort of sad that the two hottest threads right now on SoSuave are "best kept secret is black women" and "asian women vs. white western women." Stereotypes of women -- I am not here to debate what they are or the degree to how true they are in...

    Do you guys reach out to a woman after sex?

    Went out for drinks last night with a woman then went back to my place and we smashed a couple of times. She drove back to her place late and texted me she had a "wonderful evening" and looked forward to next time. We went back and forth a bit before I fell asleep. Haven't reached out again...

    Plate got angry at me for seeing other women

    Last night I met a woman for some drinks. We hadn’t hung out in 2.5 weeks or so. We went back to her place and she proceeded to want to know why I hadn’t texted her in that time. I said we had texted and she said “yeah because I reached out.” Then she wanted to know if I was sleeping with other...

    First Date during daylight

    So I have a first date set up for Saturday afternoon. It is literally the only time that would work within the next week. We are meeting for drinks at a distillery. I feel like the mood is definitely going to be different than during the evening hours and a smash is probably extremely unlikely...

    Question for fellow DJ Hinge users

    First - please spare me the mantra of “just meet women IRL”. I do that too. Question is for those who use Hinge - this is obviously a bit different than Tinder or Bumble where you simply swipe left or right. You have the option to like anything in their profile and can send a message along with...

    Chicks that don’t text

    Went out last night on a 1st date with a HB 7.5. Very much my type unlike the last couple. Met about halfway for each of us at a bar and had a few drinks. I escalated the entire time and we made out at the bar a bit. She told me she wasn’t ready to go home yet and wouldn’t mind going somewhere...

    Cold approach in fitness class

    Do you DJs go for awhile before asking out on the date? Went for first time to a yoga class tonight and it was small. Myself and 4 chicks. One chick was a HB 8.5 and the other was a HB 7.5. Would love to approach either but they both bolted like immediately right when the class ended. I didn’t...

    Does dating/sleeping with lower SMV women lower your own?

    I am again starting my plate rotation from scratch and I have had some trouble getting it off the ground the last couple of months after leaving my LTR. I have some options but I don't really find them all that attractive (both are off of OLD). One I would say is probably a HB 6 and the other is...

    Rotator Cuff Strain/shoulder tendonitis

    Anyone have any experience lifting weights through this? I have had some stiffness/soreness in my right shoulder after lifting for about 3 weeks now (I had tried to increase the weight on military press and this arose). I have actually cut the weights I have been lifting in half and it has...

    Cold-approach of waitress/bartender

    So near my new apartment complex that I just moved to there is a waitress working at a higher end restaurant tonight who was very good looking, probably HB 8.5. She wasn’t our waitress though as my buddy and I sat at the bar. The place was incredibly busy and she was on the move 24/7 — but...

    Low-vibration state women

    Are these women ever worth investing an extended amount of time in and has anyone developed some way to recognize them early in the dating process? This is something that I have struggled with in the (recent) past - usually giving a pretty face a pass and getting myself into a bunch of drama...

    First date - offer to pick up vs. meeting at venue

    Question for the board - when you are meeting a chick for the first time do you offer to pick her up or just tell her to meet you at place X? Got a date set up tomorrow night and I thought about offering to pick her up at her place. I’ve had success doing this in the past on 1st dates - but I...

    Ex Poisoning the Well Against You

    Have a question for the DJs here -- I am sure the answer is just to simply deal with it and ignore but I find myself feeling highly irritated by a situation that is becoming clear to me with my ex. If anyone has followed me in the NC thread, I have been in no contact with the ex for about 2...

    Cold-Approaching at Gym

    I am sure it can be done but I haven't really ever attempted it. I feel it is fairly difficult given most everyone has headphones/earbuds on and are in the zone while they exercise. I know I typically don't like to be bothered while I lift because I am in my own space away from work and all of...

    Platonic "friends" of opposite sex

    Something I don't think truly exists except in very limited circumstances. Those circumstances being your buddy's wife, a childhood friend you have known for ages, employer/employee (not that this stops everyone), neither person finds the other attractive at all, etc. (there are others but don't...

    LTRs with HB 8+

    This was mentioned in another thread, but has anyone here had success dating a really great looking woman long term? I believe in another thread @Dash Riprock mentioned if you want an LTR, try to go for a HB 7. This is just the right mix of good looks but they aren't carrying around baggage from...
