Yeah, imagine people are still here in retirement homes.Wow you people are old.
Except for when he would talk about certain technologies, like home phones.What is funny is that with all the 'changes' these guys talk about (OLD, all these apps, social media, etc.), the game is still the exact same. Doc Love's advice, from 20 years ago, still rings true.
Heh. I still remember all the old threads about how you should never text a girl, and only call her on the phone.Except for when he would talk about certain technologies, like home phones.
I read Doc Love articles when I was in college in the early 2000s. Texting wasn't really a thing back then. There were home phones and cell phones but the cell phones were used primarily for on the go phone calls. Doc was emphasizing home phones then. I didn't remember texting getting big until 2005 or 2006. The first iPhone hit the market in 2007. Before the iPhone, it was possible to date without using text messaging. After the release of the iPhone and the major popularity of the Blackberry (from 2007-09, the Blackberry was bigger), doing the early stages of dating without texting became nearly impossible.Heh.

The basics are still the same, whether it's a home phone or a raise to voice text or whatever. You still have to think. His point was to call the girl when they would likely be at home and not focused on other stuff. You want her full attention. No doubt that it's gotten tougher nowadays to do that, since most are buried in their phone all day anyway.I read Doc Love articles when I was in college in the early 2000s.
