    Transactional dating

    I used to resent having to pay for female company but as I enter into my 40s I am softening my stance a bit. I had a very good date the other night with a cute curvy girl in her early 20s. East European, has a good entry level job, but likes the finer things in life such as dinners, drinks...

    Is modern dating better in smaller cities?

    There are still some decent sized cities/towns in UK where you get some mature students, young professionals, and foreigners who tend to marry later. And people are more open to a bit of distance as everyone has a car. Online dating and the apps used to work quite well for me. But I think...

    Is modern dating better in smaller cities?

    I live in London. In theory it should be a paradise because it is full of attractive single unmarried women in their 30s and 40s who earn good money and can therefore invest in their beauty and health and fitness etc. In practice everyone suffers from the illusion of choice, most people are...

    Keeping the costs of dating down

    My experience with modern women on dating apps especially those in their 30s and 40s is they expect dinners, shows, rooftop bars and other kinds of entertainment before they will let a man get anywhere with them. It no longer seems so easy to just take a girl to a cheap bar and sleep with her...

    article: Gen Z Is Leaving Dating Apps Behind

    The 10% go on dating apps because now it is mainstream there are enough attractive girls on the apps to make it worth their while. And women are flaky and even for top tier guys they aren't always DTF. So 10% guys have an incentive to hoard women and keep them as an option. And their...

    article: Gen Z Is Leaving Dating Apps Behind

    IMO online dating worked a lot better when it was stigmatised or at least not mainstream. Sure the quality was lower but for men as well as women and there wasn't the same online dating hook up culture so most women were looking for relationships and wary of players and while pickier than the...

    Feel I am fighting a losing battle trying to delay aging

    Thanks for the replies. Trying to develop a tougher look sounds like a good idea. At least I would look more virile. I have heard it is possible to increase collagen through diet by drinking bone broths and taking collagen powders and this can be more effective than the various creams that...

    Feel I am fighting a losing battle trying to delay aging

    I've generally always looked young for my age thanks to a bit of a baby face and having a reasonably healthy lifestyle not drinking heavily or smoking and having a balanced diet and not overdoing the sun exposure and a bit of genetic luck as well. Once I hit my mid 30s I started knocking 5 years...

    Ghosting on online dating apps

    Yeah I spoke to a few average looking female friends. They get hundreds of matches and still complain online dating sites suck. And when you look at their profile photos like just about every modern girl they are pros at using make up/filters/the right angles/outfits to look at least a few...

    Ghosting on online dating apps

    Yeah I figured out pretty quickly that after 3-5 messages they will usually give out their number and it is then possible to work some text game and set up a date. The issue I am having is more than most of the matches I get rarely get past a message or two before they simply stop replying...

    Erectile Dysfunction and diet

    I have been thinking of going on a low carb diet as they seem to be all the rage. But read some conflicting reports online saying that high fat diets (especially high in saturated fat) clog the arteries reduce nitric oxide levels and cause erectile dysfunction. I'm in my late 30s and my...

    Ghosting on online dating apps

    I'm on Hinge. I get plenty of matches especially when I use Boosts and other add-ons to put me in the spotlight as it were. But vast majority of these matches go absolutely nowhere. Either they simply do not reply to my opening message or send a few half-hearted replies that give me little to...

    Avoiding getting banned on dating apps

    The swipe based dating apps seem pretty ban happy and when they ban you they refuse to give a reason "to protect the privacy of other users" and only say you violated their terms and conditions or community guidelines. They allow you one appeal but the process is a joke as if you don't know...

    Improving success rate on modern dating apps

    It seems in the modern world they are the only way to meet anyone. Women are far less approachable in the real world and when they go out it tends to be to spend time with their girlfriends (brunches, girls nights out, gym classes etc) rather than to meet men. I am not movie star good looking...

    Have you been noticing more normie-tier men with foreign wives?

    More traditional foreign women without a good independent source of income/education do tend to be more accommodating when it comes to a guy's looks. The catch is they will expect the man to pay for everything. That is not necessarily a bad thing if they are simple and low maintenance and...

    How much of a difference does distance make?

    I have been living in a pretty central location in my city for much of my 20s and 30s. But I am approaching 40 and at an age where I need more living space and do not have the desire to go out every night and as I work from home 3 days a week I can handle a slightly longer commute. How much of...

    George Clooney style serial monogamy

    I am 38 and getting a bit tired of the serial dating/hook up carousel. In my 30s I tended to go for quantity over quality and am coming to realise that sleeping with women even if they are really hot isn't much of an achievement or something that will bring any lasting happiness. It is also...

    How to make long distance dating with a crazy young hot girl work?

    Haha I don’t think keeping her on the hook would work as she texts constantly and gets pissy if she doesn’t get an instant response and while I can ignore that and any accompanying empty threats and ultimatums I agree that eventually she’s likely to get fed up and walk and find some guy she can...

Conservative upbringing and said she’s only slept with two guys the last a five year relationship that ended a month ago last few years of which long distance. Also said she has experienced a bit of...

    Beautiful girl always putting up hoops

    She replied to say her flatmate was pretty sure it was me as she received the like shortly after she introduced the flatmate to me before our 4th date last summer which was incredible. She said she was glad that she found out now before it was too late! I didn't bother replying as clearly there...
