      @Juanita Wright That's not really what I mean. I'm talking about how, many centuries ago, a lot of men would do the hunting for their families. Hunting's a natural instinct men tend to have.

    My takeaways:
    1. Don't get mad, get unavailable.
    2. Get rid of aimless men in all dimensions of your life.
    3. Don't take him seriously until he gives you the reasons to.

    You give great advices...
    This week, a guy from a dating app, in the first talking to me, asked if we could meet for a coffee. I said yes, then he asked "And if there is chemistry will it be only coffee?"... I answered: "No, you can order a cupcake or cookie too". He blocked me. I simply don't have patience for those guys who seem to have totally forgotten how to talk to women.

    I've been using online dating sites for a few years and I have a ton of stories I could tell.
    I must have talked to, at least, hundreds of guys and so many of them acted like shit. Plenty of them have been, either, really horrible at holding a conversation or they're overtly sexual. (I've, actually, written on my profiles that I'm not that comfortable talking about sexual stuff!)
    I'm sorry about the rant. I just find online dating very emotionally draining and it's really pounded my self-esteem. Actually, I've started to wean myself from online dating and I've been feeling happier. :) I feel more okay with being single, and I'd like to put more energy into meeting people in real life.

  • @ShaniTheBurningTree
    @ShaniTheBurningTree 3 роки тому +64

    I’ve learned quite a bit. When I don’t respond quickly, there are several ways suitors might respond.
    1. They don’t bother to write again.
    2. They will write again with some concern and let you know in some way they are thinking of you.
    3. They become desperate and/or start criticizing the lack of responsiveness.
    If I truly like someone, I will sometimes make myself unavailable, to see how he responds. I’m not into the idea of chasing a man, it should be an ebb and flow. So if it’s too much one sided, there is a lack of match.

    Unfortunately a lot of people don't even make the effort to have a real conversation to get to know someone. It's either no response, people responding 1x and then disappears, or people who get right into the lane of hookup. It's tiring after a while. I'm sure there are decent ppl out there, but I still like to get to know someone the organic way. I prob only met one guy who was at least decent or respectful even though we never met 'cause I guess he's talking to someone else he wants to meet, but I did appreciate the respectful closure.

    "Don't try to approach him like a gentleman." This is where I screw up repeatedly. I open doors, make all plans, and offer to pay for dates that guys I match with agree to go on but ultimately never show up for. I don't do these things because I need/want to be in control; I do them because they come natural to me. I very much grew up in a 'golden rule' household (treat others how you want to be treated), but I do this to the point that I don't know how to 'rest in my feminity' (has always felt like a foreign concept) and just let a man take the lead. I was taught to be respectful and convenient, but that hasn't translated well in my attempts at online dating; it just left men bored. I'm thinking about trying again soon and seeing if your advice leads to a different result. Cheers!

    My bro! You were talking to the girls when you mention that stuff at two minutes and 30 seconds. I’m not gonna quit being a gentleman what I mean by that is I want to treat a young lady with respect and I want to get to know them. I’m 58 years out so in the time our grew up what people would call it was I’m trying to score by which I mean trying to have sex. Sex and attraction is a big part of a relationship. However, caring about the person, getting to know them better, being concerned about their needs, In my humble opinion those are the things that make a relationship worth having. Again, I don’t mind telling you have a commonsense video here and for me that’s a big compliment keep going bro and thank you again for making a video.

"Babe you did a great job fixing that leak.", "Congrats on your raise! You deserve it!", etc. Compliment his WORKS and his ACCOMPLISHMENTS and he will want to do more of those things to impress you and keep you.

    You're going to find this story strange. I started talking to a guy online. Just small chit chat. So, we decided to meet and we liked each other but I put him in the "just friends" zone. So he asked me if I liked Game of Thrones. I told him that I never saw it. So, I decided to watch it and I really liked it. So we were texting back and forth talking about the show. So I told him that I didn't think that we were a good fit but I thought he was really cool and wanted to be friends (I really do like him more than a friend but he didn't pursue me so I didn't want him to think that I was chasing him).
    We both really love the Game of Thrones show and we laugh and have a good time. He's coming over to watch season 7 with me and I'm really excited about it. He's never been disrespectful and he's coming over early evening because at the end of the show, he's going home. I set the boundary that we are just friends. Until he PROVES himself to me, I'm not serving refreshments.
    Ladies, be careful out here. Listen to Kev. He's right!

What I struggle to understand is that I often find myself messaging back and forth for a week and the conversation is good snd then all the sudden they just drop of the face of the earth? What does this mean and what can I do? Also with some guys you can be messaging for 3 weeks and they dont ask you meet! Why? Would reallyyyy appreciate your input, thank you!!

      Sis if he wants to play dead, let him stay dead!!! My recent experience, I met a guy and in my mind we were compatible and had chemistry. After 3 dates he wanted to take it to the bedroom, and I declined I told him I can't do that as I'll get attached and want to get to know him better. Anywho he calls me a couple days later and told me he didn't put in the effort to get to know me.....and didn't wish to pursue courting any further. I thanked him for his honesty, but its funny how few days prior you would have happily slept with me.
      Sometimes it hurts but, mans rejection is God's protection. Who we want is not for us but, do not lose hope. Some of these guys are just not worth the heartache or stress.

    1. You can DM first as long as you comment on his content, not his looks. Start with substance. Flirting and conversing is different.
    2. One paragraph at a time. More than that is over-eager. Let him Fill in the blanks.
    3. Never take any guys number unless he’s already asked for yours. He should ask for yours first to chase you. Tell him you don’t call guys.
    4. Cut weak convo short. It should grow in complexity. Don’t squeeze water from a rock.
    5. Know when you’re being seduced. Stop the sexual tension building. If he’s overtly sexual, you’re wasting your time. He’ll present his mind first, not sex if he’s serious.
    6. Don’t over compensate for his low effort. If he takes too long to respond, cut it off.. If he doesn’t address things you’ve asked him, cut it off. Doesn’t matter if he still watches your stories, it means nothing and he’s just “there” but isn’t serious about you.
    Don’t take him serious until he gives you a reason.
