You have no idea if OP was boostered yesterday. And there are no long term studies for the scenario we're in, you are the study, so I'm not sure where you draw enough confidence to silence a discussion altogether. If there is plenty of evidence to make your case compelling or you've made it...

Of all the threads to ask if a person got the jab, one discussing PE seems among the most appropriate. PE related mortality numbers did increase with waves of the pandemic, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9412135/

A man who fears pain more than failure will taste both.

'The true worth of a man is measured by the objects he pursues'

Good to hear, although it's when she's away that she acts up. The fact that you fielded advice here indicates dealing with this kind of push pull isn't something that comes naturally, or that you're at least open to evolving. I suspect she'll wait until she senses you're more invested before...

The more you expect others to "get it", the smaller the pool of people you're compatible with. Old habits die hard, and effective communication can go a long way in showing others patience when they don't immediately meet our criteria. That said, I agree with you and there are plenty of people...

Given the context of your original post, it sounds like these are meant to bribe you or are otherwise attempts to lock you down. It's long-term interest but for the wrong reasons. The real test, as you've discovered, is how she acts when you indicate the path you'd like to take. Since she's...

"a problem well stated is a problem half solved"

Ha I just said that shouldn't be where you find women. Their looks are 8+ but their personalities and intelligence are a crapshoot and most of them are pretty boring. All the fun exciting girls are out doing stuff, not swiping. But to answer your question, deliberate swiping on tinder, bumble...

Just one caveat on this for posterity. The caliber of women from apps pales in comparison to women I meet out doing things I love. If you think about it, that's expected. The hottest and most interesting women do not need apps, and they don't want to deal with the onslaught of all of the average...

Then you are not ready to hear the truth grasshoppa. Show respect and it will be shown to you. Explore the profiles that resonate with you, read the ancient texts, and keep an open mind. Your potential in life is only limited by the extent to which you are willing to change.

You're oversimplifying things, making a strawman out of the points you disagree with. You should instead steel-man your oppositions points and try to refute those. If you can, it will strengthen your convictions, and if you can't it will open you to change and put you on a better path to truth...

I used to think that too, but from experience that's not true. I've refined a method that has me lining up one to four dates every weekend consistently with 8+. I hardly swipe at this point. But I would say I'm in the top 5-10%. @ocho_da_musician With that many approaches under your belt your...

Not taking things personally is easy. Fostering growth with people that take your actions personally is the real work.

My point is there is no silver bullet or way to increase your edge in cold approaching moving targets on the streets unless you stand out immensely with something very superficial or say some magic words that just happen to get one girls interest. Your hit rate will remain low simply because of...
