    You don't need God-tier looks to succeed at online dating

    Cheers man. Once we've saved the forum from the impending Aspergers singularity, I want the inscription on my gaudy bronze statue to read "Live. Laugh. Vomit". Edit: I ran "Live. Laugh. Vomit" through a latin translator - "Vivamus. Risu. Vomite" Gorgeous:)

    You don't need God-tier looks to succeed at online dating

    Shameless bump... sort of. Thought we'd get a chance to unpack some of the underlying theory, but threads never turn out how you think they will. I've got fifty bucks for any woman who can write a profile without using the words "yoga", "travel", or "not looking for hookups". Why did it work...

    "I also recommend specializing (going after a certain type of girl). The generalist always ends up doing poorly in most endeavors in life. Narrow it down and play to those women.I also recommend specializing (going after a certain type of girl)." Jesus Christ, yes, this. If your profile...

    You don't need God-tier looks to succeed at online dating

    @ Urbanyst Oh snap, I remember reading that. Quality post actually, should have got more love. As someone who lives in a tourist hotspot, you couldn't have been more right about wasting weekend swipes on out of towners.

    You don't need God-tier looks to succeed at online dating

    If you're a solid 7/10 and a generally likeable dude, I think you'll find this useful - not gonna pretend it will work for everyone. Background: Found myself in a particularly crappy location for OLD - virtually no attractive women who had their sh!t together in my area - if you've tried OLD...

    How would you turn a $500K lump sum into $20K/yr income?

    Riding a bit of high at the moment. Was proving hard to get an estimate on my benefits for the scenario I was looking into. Finally got some numbers from the superannuation support team. Discharge at 45 and I'll be getting a $45k/yr pension from 55 onwards. Just have to self-fund for ten years -...

    How would you turn a $500K lump sum into $20K/yr income?

    Not a US citizen, but yeah, it's a pretty similar arrangement where I'm from. Out of morbid curiosity, what does baseline coverage for a middle-aged man cost in the US?

    How would you turn a $500K lump sum into $20K/yr income?

    That's on option I'm looking at. I could buy a cluster of studio apartments (5 x $125k) that caters to rich overseas students. Live in one, rent the other four, that would net me about $24k/yr after expenses. Have the option to easily rent the fifth if I want to bum around SE Asia every now and...

    How would you turn a $500K lump sum into $20K/yr income?

    Just so I'm not misleading anyone, as of now I'm 39 with $300k, should be around $700k by 45 (when I can get out). Studio apartment in my preferred city runs anywhere between $120k and $200k, leaving around $500k to invest and life off (in one scenario). Most of it comes down to the fact that...

    How would you turn a $500K lump sum into $20K/yr income?

    Yeah, I don't think there's anyway I could avoid dipping into the original capital. Been giving some thought to pulling the pin at 45 when my current obligation to the military runs out. I have a pretty generous pension that starts paying out at 55, so I've been thinking about my options from...

    Exactly what it says on the box.

    Single woman publicly shames OLD dating prospect

    On point BB. Just like we know they're all interested in our resources and earning potential. But there's nothing more off-putting than a woman who comes at that subject directly. BTW - you still pulling from FetLife? Is it just something for major metro areas?

    What women don't get about ghosting.

    Kek! I love the way threads inevitably take on a direction you never intended when you wrote the OP. Now I know what my parents must feel.

    Daygame rejection "I don't give out my number to a cheap hobo like you"

    Right? You have to be willing to burn some down now and again. I think there's always a tendency to look at the one interaction the OP presents here on SS and assume it's entirely representative of who he is, where his game is at. Of course it's not. People aren't posting about the...

    What women don't get about ghosting.

    Yup. And with apologies to Grewd (not sh!tting on your input mate), it's why male and female ghosting isn't the same. Guy and a girl go on first date and apparently have a great time. Guy ghosts the girl. What happened? Most likely, he was running really solid game (because he always does) but...

    What women don't get about ghosting.

    "I thought the date went great and we really connected - but then I never heard from him again." Can't speak for everyone, but when I'm on a first date I play to win regardless. I'm kind of forming some opinions about you, but my main goal is to make sure both of us have a great time - I'll...

    2017 - The "game" has changed.

    Sh!t. Being real for a moment - I need to walk more. Nothing has ever leaned me out more than lots and lots of walking. Plus, you know, all those first world problems tend to fade away during a good stroll.

    What is the harshest red pill truth you have learned?

    Everything in life is about food and sex. Everything. There is no grander meaning or purpose for your existence - it's stupid and trivial and that's ok.

    Chubby chicks can still pull in guys with a washboard

    It's always possible she started off thin. But looking back, I've nearly always been surprised just how unattractive the partners of my buff friends and co-workers have been (some notable exceptions in there too) No coincidence that the buff dudes who settled for less didn't have a lot else...

    POF Milf Report - Fingered her but smelled :(

    Have generally found found that girls who masturbate/use toys regularly taste and smell much better. But in general, they are sadly clueless about what's going on down there. Seriously, how?
