Posting this despite knowing I may be mocked or this will ruin my "credibility" but I don't care.

A few months back I met a girl off OLD and we texted for a few days then it petered off and nothing happened (I don't remember what happened, but whatever it was it caused my to delete the texts, though that doesn't necessarily imply anything bad). Then out of the blue 3+ months later, she starts texting me asking me how I'm doing and I ask "who is this?" and she sends me a pic and wants to meetup.

We go on a hike and then get drinks and I go over to her place and smash. She comes pretty fast and the sex was great and I lasted long, and she's super affectionate for the rest of the night.

I don't text her after the date. She reaches out first 3 days later (ALWAYS a good sign) and she say wants to see me again. We ended up hanging out 2 more times and had more good sex, good conversation/chemistry. I felt like I could relax around her a little bit. She seemed warm and kind and high IL, talking about stuff she wanted to do with me, and seemed very excited and eager, all signs of high IL. She even did a favor for me and ran an errand for me to pick up something I needed to fix my motorcycle which only further solidifies my point.

After our 3rd date , I don't hear from her for 3 days so figure I should initiate. We just do some light texting, not much. Then in the middle of the week I asked her what her weekend plans are. She doesn't reply for 24 hours. Now some will say that means nothing but I say that's BS. I've never once in my life had a girl not reply for 24 hours to respond to a text that warrants a response. I was baffled. Once she finally texts back she says "hi :) sorry I was busy I went to a concert and now this weekend I'm having my girlfriends stay over, what are you up to?" I wait a whole day to reply and had considered not even replying at all but I'm not the type to avoid confrontation. So I play it cool and say "oh yeah I bet that was cool, and sounds like a fun weekend too. Nothing crazy on my end, trying to close a sale and doing a project for my business which I'm pretty focused on lately". She never replies or calls me since then and it's been 36 hours now.

In my mind, it's done. I don't care what she says at this point. I've already moved on. My only consideration (if she even reaches out again) is whether to ghost or confront her (not to convince her, but get the final word in) but I don't think that will serve any purpose.

I know people will say "abundance bro", "you care too much". Nah this is not that simple. I really don't give a shvt about women anymore. Furthmore, I've only ever thought of this girl as recreational use only (she's genuinely batshvt crazy and a total hoe), and only ever intended to just have some fun with her. Despite this, it still hurts a lot which makes it even more baffling. I know I'm not supposed to care, but that's just it, I do care. I'm not going to be like other posters and put on a machismo act. I have handled many rejections over my life and I've ended things with a few women pretty recently but none of them hurt like this one. I have things going for me in my life and other women in the picture. The issue is that I cannot honestly recall something like before where a high IL woman who I have very good chemistry with does a complete 180 after 3+ dates for seemingly no reason. I already know that the explaination is that another guy came into the picture. And I'm not asking advice for what to do as I'm 100% done with her now.

I mostly wanted to vent, and say that I thought I was immune to this sort of stuff but apparently not.

You feel disappointed because she ended things first. That's a normal feeling out of interactions. It's good for you that this was only recreational use only but that doesn't ease the pain in the moment.

A few months back I met a girl off OLD and we texted for a few days then it petered off and nothing happened (I don't remember what happened, but whatever it was it caused my to delete the texts, though that doesn't necessarily imply anything bad).

Did you ever get an explanation why she ghosted for 3+ months?

She's genuinely crazy might be the explanation. There are crazy females that are great sexual partners. She might have been physically attractive and showed recognizable signs of craziness right away. It might have even happened while hiking before the first instance of sex.

The swipe apps are a bad place to meet women if you're seeking something meaningful. I realize some people are able to find decent LTRs off of it but it isn't efficient in any way. Swipe apps are for top tier men to have sex with multiple women without commitment. Other men are better served doing something else to meet women.

I suppose. But I wouldn't have even minded her ending things if she did it in a respectful way. If she just said "hey I don't think I wanna see you anymore, I don't like x thing about you or a better guy came into the picture". I'm more bothered at how it ended, seemingly out of nowhere with no warning signs, and with the complete lack of dignity and respect from her to even tell me it's over, instead making me put the pieces together over the span of a few days. She literally bvtched about men ghosting her then does the same thing to me. Incredible. If a girl did this in the context of an LTR it would be absolutely soul-crushing and I can feel for any men who have had that done to them.

She's genuinely crazy might be the explanation. There are crazy females that are great sexual partners. She might have been physically attractive and showed recognizable signs of craziness right away. It might have even happened while hiking before the first instance of sex.
She absolutely is crazy. She's on 3 medications and she told me her habit of picking at her scalp and fingers to the point of getting scabs. Again, between that and her body count (that I estimate to be anywhere from 50-100, possibly more based on the things she would say), I was 100% certain I would never do anything more than casual with her and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to keep seeing her for much longer. But that doesn't mean I can't still enjoy her company and smash her for a while as long as she's respectful.

I've met some great women on OLD, though not in my current city. The last GF I had was one of the kindest, sweetest, warmest women I've ever met. She even met my Mom and was one of the few women to ever do so and they literally hugged after talking for 2 minutes. I'll never forget that girl. But I know that's rare.



Did you ever get an explanation why she ghosted for 3+ months?
Not really. But I don't think she had ghosted me back when we initially met, because as I said I didn't even remember talking to her at all, and hadn't even bothered to store her number so I probably just didn't care. I don't recall if I had even asked her out, but I do suppose having that context would help.

That long post and how you reacted to that doesn't say much about them. It sounds like that is the only women you cared about. Well, at least it was fun while it lasted.

I've had a few painful experiences with particular woman while seeing other women on the side. Men act like that's some kind of prophylactic but it's simply not. Abundance and living a good life doesn't mean you're suddenly immune to emotional vulnerability, if anything this "plate spinning" stuff is a cope.

I dated a young girl for 6 months when I was in my mid 20s and I was smashing women on the side the entire time and was in a great point in my life with lots of positive changes. But she ended up burning me too and having side chicks the entire time didn't change a damn thing. True abundance is a mindset anyway, not external validation in the form of backup options. That's kind of gay honestly. A man should be able to cultivate abundance in a vacuum from within.

On the flip side there have been times where I was only talking to one woman and in a less stable place in my life but still I ended up dating and having a healthy relationship without scarcity and over-investment. My last GF started like that and I was not upset at all when I broke up with her (which was due to me voluntarily moving across the country, meaning it was 100% avoidable yet I still commited to the decision).

My point is that it's not up to you when you care, life can throw you curveballs. Men need to stop with this machismo posturing BS. If you care that's fine just learn from it and stop pretending to not be a flawed, emotional human being.

Remember, our thoughts and beliefs about external events ultimately dictate just how disturbed(if at all)we get by them. What is it about this gal you barely know not being contact for a couple of days that bugs you so much?

I don't know. That's partly why it bothered me because it made no sense for me to even care, especially considering I wasn't even sure I wanted to see her for much longer.

My best explaination is that she is one of the few women who I felt I had a genuine connection with. I could have real, raw, deep conversations with her, and we had a surprising number of things in common with, and not trivial things either but things I actually care about. Both of these things are quite rare for women I interact with and can only think of a small handful i've ever met in my life like that.

Also your implication about not being in contact for a couple days as being meaningless is not meaningless. A sudden pattern disruption from women, lack of communication, is a sure sign you're not a priority anymore or another guy is in the picture that now takes precedent over you. Even in casual things I still demand a certain level of respect and consistency; if she sees other men she cannot let it impact how she treats me (which women generally aren't capable of anyway). As far as I'm concerned it's done.

Did you ever consider that MAYBE the way you saw her was the way she saw you? If that's the case, you shouldn't be bothered by this.

Oh ok, so we're gonna play games and jump to conclusions, cool.

In my mind, it's done. I don't care what she says at this point. I've already moved on. My only consideration (if she even reaches out again) is whether to ghost or confront her (not to convince her, but get the final word in) but I don't think that will serve any purpose.
So you've already moved on from a relationship that didn't exist, and might not have any problems, because she's taking too long to reply...and furthermore you're considering ghosting her or starting a fight when/if she DOES reply...

Dude, what is this? Why are you creating your own problems?

Slow down cowboy, why? Cause she didn't text you for days, looks like you're very invested in her.

Nice guy rage when the woman doesn't respond to his expectations. For a man who doesn't give a sh!te, you sure took the time and energy to write about her and insult her
 

Do not be too easy. If you are too easy to get, she will not want you. If you are too easy to keep, she will lose interest in you. If you are too easy to control, she will not respect you.

It's actually a sign of strength to be vulnerable. Admitting our flaws and learning from them can help us grow. Many people may appear confident on the outside, but behind closed doors, they face their own challenges. Some might be struggling financially or dealing with personal or business issues. The key is to understand that everyone has their unique journey. In the words of Soren Kierkegaard, "do it or don't do it — you will regret both."

The only way I can help is by analyzing your description of the woman and I considered a few possibilities:
  1. People with ADHD might exhibit hyperfocus and impulsive behaviors, which can sometimes lead to multiple relationships and hyper-sexuality. Medications might be to control this mental health issue.
  2. Some individuals may have a pattern of idealizing new partners, only to become disillusioned when they discover flaws. This can lead to a cycle of short-lived relationships. It's often rooted in personal insecurities rather than a genuine search for perfection. These individuals may have a history of stormy and short-lived romances. They tend to compare their partners to others and often try to change them. This can be extremely frustrating for both parties and it can become anti-seductive. Ultimately, their dissatisfaction stems from their own unhappiness, which they may mistake for high standards. It is best to cut these people off your life.
  3. Individuals who were overly pampered as children may struggle with boredom and restlessness in adulthood. They might seek constant excitement and novelty, leading to frequent changes in relationships and jobs. These individuals may have been raised in a way that led them to rely on others for entertainment. As they grow older, they may find themselves bored and restless, leading to a constant search for variety. This can make it difficult for them to settle into long-term relationships. The way to keep them engaged is by providing a lot of distractions, new places to visit, novel experiences, colour, spectacles, etc. The problem is that you have to put a lot of effort on it.
Good luck.

The initial ghosting should have told you all you needed to know about what you were getting involved with. When dealing with girls like that you enjoy them whenever they come around but don't lose sight of the fact they're flaky as heck and will vanish just as quickly as they re-emerged.

I find that forums like this don’t always provide the most positive feedback and lead to piling on when a guy is down and monday morning quarterbacking

It has been my experience that our body kind of puts us into a fight or flight feeling when we feel someone (not just in a dating relationship but friendships) subtly rejects us. This is common and i can understand how you feel.

of course this will then make you try to figure out how to fix things because we are men thats what we do.

Women are wired differently as we know. Part of me believes that since they tend to seek attention more than sex itself (there are some women with high sex drives but most much lower than ours), that women prefer novel or unpredictable attention. This is why when you give them lots of attention they love it at first because you are new but it loses its value with time and becomes predictable

its sad but in the early stages on of the best ways to keep a woman is to make her think she can lose you…and the best way to do this is to genuinely be busy… i think you did ok in your waiting game with her but she was even better at outwaiting you

I respect that you are honest and don’t act like some wannabe emotionless alpha dude. I think that’s totally normal. We are human not robots. I also had someone like that a few months ago. Something about her made you like her more than others but as you already know it’s not in your hands.

i think by not texting her back after the date you were putting yourself in the **** boy zone- I made several mistakes with a couple other women whom i wanted to still have in my life my issue was after sleeping with them i would ghost them thinking that was the right thing to do . Reality is you want to treat them well so they stick around - after the first date when you smash take her out and buy her breakfast this makes it look like she's not being used. i made a huge error by not doing this with a few of my plates and ended up losing them permanently .

Then after the date text to check up how she's doing - its not needy to care for someone lol

seems like you were too casual here and not leading - something which was a big part of my problem when i adjusted to daygame i was too casual and women mistook by casual vibe for not giving a **** about them and only using them for sex

also be honest with what you want from her? if you want her to be your girlfriend or want to hang out again just tell her and make the appropriate actions to do so or she will think you are not interested . When i was at university i was critiqued by women for being too needy i then tried to overcompensate this during my daygame era to being too nonchalant and wouldnt text back after having sex with girls to try and act cool - in reality it just lost me dates and plates and potential future girlfriends. Always put in effort- lead and initiate dates so she doesnt think youre just another ****boy

issues is they may mistake this for disinterest - if you're fighting for the frame all the time anyway it isn't a real relationship to begin with and you should be pursuing new leads. For me personally i left the gap texting back after sex way too long with certain women and by the time i made the effort they had moved on

Swipe apps are the bottom of the barrel for meeting people. However, they offer an illusion of convenience that a lot of people like.

It takes effort to go out into the world and approach strangers. A lot of people don't like the effort it takes to do that. For every 1-5 real world approaches I can make, I can swipe on hundreds of women. Swiping and texting might seem easier in theory. In reality, it is likely more inefficient than doing things in the real world.

Let's talk about that real world approaching for a moment.

When a man is doing real world approaching, he could be approaching women with swipe app profiles. It can happen with both non-bar approaching and bar approaching as I'll illustrate in a moment. Men who do real world approaching in bigger cities are often doing it in neighborhoods with a lot of unmarried people. That's a wise idea from a targeting perspective.

Men who do real world approaches in parts of a city with a lot of unmarried people could be doing non-bar approaches at grocery stores, on paths/in parks, in bookstores, in malls, in gyms/fitness classes, or on the street. When these men are doing their non-bar approaches, they don't know if they are approaching unattached women who are swipe app users. There's also a good chance they are approaching women in relationships who aren't with their boyfriend at that exact moment. There's a lot of inefficiency baked into non-bar approaching.

When men do approaches in bars, there's a better chance she's unattached and open to meeting new women as compared to randomly in non-bar venues. The women that men approach in bars could easily have swipe app profiles too.

The advantage of real world approaching is better screening upfront and the avoidance of a lot of bullshiit resulting from being in front of an electronic screen. Another thing that's really been bad for relational development in the last 15-20 years is text messaging. Text messaging de-personalizes the initial stages of interactions as compared to phone calls. I was cringing in reading about the texting that was happening in @FlexpertHamilton 's situation. All of this communication he described occurred over text messaging. Things could have played out somewhat similarly in an era where phone calls were the dominant medium. I could imagine some guy in the 1990s-2000s complaining about phone call issues too from a woman. On the whole, I still think phone calls are better than text messages, but good luck getting with trying to get women born in the mid to late 1980s or later to regularly have phone calls.

The best way in real life to avoid bullshiit is to only meet dates through a social circle. In theory, the social circle is vetting for crappy behavior like the behaviors @FlexpertHamilton experienced. A guy who only dates through social circle probably isn't dealing with the crap @FlexpertHamilton experienced. Social circle game has efficiencies built into it once the social circle has been created. The problem is actually creating that social circle.

In general, social circle interactions are better options in the shorter to medium to for finding a girlfriend. If you're looking for an extended relationship (1-5 years or more), your best bet for getting that with the least amount of grief and frustration is through a social circle. You won't have to do as many approaches in either non-bar venues or nightlife venues or take as many rejections. You won't have a miserable time on swipe apps.

For men with social circles, the problem with the social circle method eventually becomes sustainability as social circles get pissed at men who continually exchange girlfriends, even if the relationships are semi-long (1-5 years). A man might be able to pull 2 LTRs from a social circle without marrying one. After 2 instances, he will have typically bled the social circle dry unless he has a very expansive social circle. Most men with circles don't have an expansive enough circle to pull that off. Social circles are blue pill in general and would frown upon casual sex within the circle in most cases. This won't be a problem for a lot of men, since a lot of men are looking for a consistent sex partner and not necessarily looking to put up big notch count numbers.

The best way to meet women is through a social circle and the worst way to meet women is through swipe apps. In-person stranger approaching falls somewhere in between.

My blunt and to-the-point response to OP and others.

This is how it is and this is how it goes down.

Currently the woman has all the power in these kinda situations. For guys like you (and me and others) we dont get to meet too.many females so opportunities are hard to come by, and then we have to take those opportunities by smashing asap moving fast etc.

This is a problem. Its easy and simple whats happening here, the female doesnt really care she just wants to 'use' a guy for whatever experience and then discard him. She has all the power. When she reaches out after the first time you went straight to give her what she wanted, a good time, you didn't make her wait by first checking that she will stay in touch for a while and be stable but you gave her good romantic time straight away hoping that makes this a success.

I know it tough, but imo in today's market a guy needs to be rocksolid and making sure the female is stable and reliable before giving her the good romantic.time. better to talk and make her wait for s*x then she knows she cant just come and go and have her 'fun' with you at her convenience and 4then discard you.

Too.many guys are too eager to please and wanna take any chance for romantic fun instead of making her wait.

Ive had all these experiences which is why nowadays im all about letting the female know on advance what im about and i let them know im not interested in physical or romantic any of that until i first see that they can be stable for a while over text etc not blocking running away ghosting etc but being cool and.stable and reliable.

Ofcourse as guys we have been led to believe in some cases that we have to move fast and also we have been told that once we bang that chick good and quickly she will be inlove with us due to oxytocin blah blah and that winners move fast and losers move slow. But this is not how it is right now.

For those higher quality guys out there that are capable of keeping a womans interest my point is to deal with these type of problems you need to be rocksolid at the start and to some extent wait until the female gives up her game. This means not running out asap to take her out smash etc but waiting until she shows you that she is emotionally stable aint gonna disappear has been able to stay in touch consistently without drama for.some.time.

Bottom line is right now these women are all over the place in terms of their attention span and they only care about what THEY want and WHEN they want it. I high quality guy needs to adapt and not give in to it but to make her wait somewhat and take him seriously and she should be as a stable mature person.

Ofcourse this only applies to men.able to.withstand the difficulties of hard mode. He must.hold her attention and then make her wait this takes the excess power and domimance from her and balances things a bit more.
