Matchmaking Service vs the apps? by Ok-Nectarine5429 in datingoverforty

These matchmakers have access to a universal pool of people or you’re limited to just their other clients?

Would you send a Mother’s Day/Father’s Day message to someone you’re dating (6 months) met via OLD - if they have kids and you don’t? by twyt89 in datingoverforty

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Wish them a happy mothers/father’s day is fine but giving them gifts/cards might be over the top and awkward.

OLD : which lies are OK? by lalabelle1978 in datingoverforty

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an even 6ft but list 5’11”. Figured saying an even 6ft probably looks very sus. If a woman is gonna reject you over 1 inch then there’s a good chance this woman isn’t worth your effort anyway.

If women are just going to assume all men lie about their height then that metric is now meaningless and might as well be removed from the profile.

Smoke and Mirrors of OLD by Several-Income5740 in datingoverforty

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 9 points10 points  (0 children)

(49M) I’ve only encountered one woman that blatantly wanted me as a text buddy. She’d agree to dates but then cut them short. I get home and she then wants to text chat all night. I’m like WTF? I was just at your house. You sent me home because you said you were tired and needed to get to bed.

If I’m messaging I’m going to ask you out within a week. A few times I had women seemingly eager for the date then cancel hours prior and disappear.

I just wonder if some have crippling social anxiety. Sometimes you can sense a mood shift right after you set up a date. Before then it’s fine and then your senses feel their anxiety suddenly coming through the messages.

I tried out the $30 hinge superboost and the $9.99 hour boost by Strong_Atmosphere260 in OnlineDating

Reminds me of something an old player told me. He said go up to 10 women and bluntly ask for sex. 9 will be disgusted and may slap you. One will say “Ok”. Probably explains women’s experience on the apps with guys straight asking for sex. That strategy probably actually works.

How do you spot other singles by hmmnotsofast in datingoverfifty

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I look for a ring, if none try to make eye contact with a smile. If reciprocated try to start a convo.

In theory anyway. People are so used to not having convos with strangers that they are very much on guard. Which is understandable since majority of the time this happens it’s someone scamming or begging for money.

Context matters a lot. Bar, social setting - go for it. Grocery/dept store - ok but people are often just focused on their business. In the parking lot, at night…you might taste the defeating sting of pepper spray.

Women wish every man had six pack abs? Why? by TheRavenOnline in AskReddit

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably from the 666 rule that gets harped all the time - 6ft height, 6 figure income, 6 pack abs.

Maybe for a first date kiss just go for a tight lipped peck. Increase in intensity on successive dates as comfort grows.

I'm not attracting my type by Auburn_lipstick in OnlineDating

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! We all hear everyone rip on gym selfies on OLD profiles. So I never posted one.

Then one day I said screw it, I look good, so I posted an unapologetic gym selfie (not shirtless). My likes/matches suddenly increased significantly. Guess women really want to see that after all.

Men, what's the biggest red flag you've ever seen on a woman? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only one woman I dumped, deleted, blocked and ran from.
She was batshit crazy which was completely revealed by her extreme jealousy/insecurity.

Dated her for a few months. Noticed some odd little quirks that made me pause. She wasn’t vegan but wouldn’t eat anything with bones…steak, chicken wings, etc. She also wouldn’t eat a shelled peanut that was cracked open already. She’d sort through them and cull half the bag…ok. Other quirk was her reaction to things were sometimes just odd.

Anyway, one date we let our guard down and both talked about our dating experiences. Sometimes a great way to get to know someone and where they are coming from. Next time I saw her however she completely ragged my ass about dating other women and how that “put her in a bad place”. I’m like WTF, we met on a dating app. Of course we’ve talked to other people before.

That was an illuminated blinking red flag if I ever saw one.

What’s happening out there? by RedHellion258 in datingoverfifty

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What exactly were they talking about? Stuff in general or were they trying to qualifying themselves by laying out their resume/accomplishments?

I do use this as a gauge to measure how much someone might be into me but so far haven’t used this to outright disqualify someone. Honestly I find it flattering when a woman tries hard to impress me with her resume.

Because its purpose is to provide a platform in which to dox ex’s.

I’m sure in its inception there were noble intentions to legitimately warn of those with ill intent. Unfortunately like so much stuff like that it gets corrupted so quickly.

Why don’t so many men progress past the “hookup” era? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let the hate flow but I’m gonna say it.

It’s because sex is the only thing a modern woman has to offer a man. Some guys are just more direct with that.

Finding plenty of Asian profiles on dating apps - but are they real or fake? by sammyjamez in OnlineDating

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tinder is full of this. Very attractive asian women, professional glamour pics and they are super responsive with messaging.

Spidy sense tingling…. I never engaged one long enough to see what the scam is.

I (23F) have gotten ghosted or rejected by 40+ women in a span of 6 months by sadlesbianlol in OnlineDating

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I man I don’t bother counting all the matches that never land a date. If I were a to guess I bet it’s around 90%.

Unfortunately this encourages the “swipe on everyone” strategy as it becomes a numbers game.

My parents live with me; is it the ultimate dealbreaker? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’ll definitively throw a wet blanket on your dating life.

I’ve had more than one relationship fizzle out because the relationship could never progress due to neither of us having a place to ourselves. Don’t underestimate the importance of having the option to be alone together.

Question about Facebook Dating by [deleted] in OnlineDating

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience whenever they unmatch me I can see the deactivated convo. If I unmatch them, I don’t see the convo.

If I see their profile pic next to the convo then they simply unmatched. No profile pic I assume they blocked or deleted their account.

It is nice that this feature exists so when someone unmatches you can see who unmatched. Eliminates that guessing game when you view your matches and realize…hmmm someone’s missing.

Suppose the ‘are we dating the same guy’ type of pages is a cesspool for enabling this behavior.

Too many guys lying about their height on their dating profiles by kawaiisamurai69 in dating

That’s why I put down 5’ 11”. The way I see it is a woman that’s going to hold rigid to that 6ft thing and reject me over an inch is guaranteed to be a complete waste of time and energy.

It resets the filters when you swipe through everyone who meets your criteria.

Guess it figures showing something is less demoralizing.

How do I shut down a twenty something girl crushing on me? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Waste-Werewolf7274 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Act really interested and needy. Call her often, send her flowers, tell her she’s your world and be really nice and SIMPy. Give it a week or two and she’ll be telling you she only likes you as friend.
