Dating Rulebook for 2018: (Less Sexist Edition)

*mods move to Berry if needed, thought I'd share here because of cultural undertones and the fact that I haven't made a WR contribution in a long time.

Dating in 2018 means online dating, Tinder, Bumble, OkCupid, etc. Dating in 2018 means following a rule book that is decidedly less sexist. Dating in 2018 is not about getting random ass, but about finding a legitimate partner. That's the context that I'm setting here.

I've been out there on date after date, and here's what I've gathered.


1. If she looks at her phone once, or even has it out, she's not interested, and you should just move the fuck on.

2. If she wants to meet up before eight, she's not into you and you should go in knowing that the odds are stacked up against you from the start. She already thinks you're "meh".

3. If she moves her hair to the side and tilts her head to fully expose her neck - she tryna get that strong D.

4. She must text first post date. This properly sets the stage.

Last night, I went out with this girl who was a surgeon. She was like twice as pretty in person as she was in her profile pictures. She was in a nice dress, shoes, purse, etc. And I was wearing some shit I bought from Goodwill up North. I'm broke as fuck (it's been well documented, here). Anyways, we fooled around a bit after the date.

Basically a no-go, though, because our careers don't match up.

This is like the tenth date I've been on. Just some observations. Share your thoughts.
 
If you don't succeed in 30 years, all women are just stupid.
 
Also, be vigilant of the reverse bait and switch -- when her pics don't do justice. It can really fuck with you when arriving.

I had to go slap myself in front of the bathroom mirror.

Don't know about this. Most people keep their phone out and on the table. Most people will eventually answer their phone if they get a text, even if they're busy talking with you. I'll grant you if they're having a full blown text conversation or they start playing some random mobile game, shit aint looking good.

You should be happy that the odds are stacked against you from the start, it's better to find someone that has an idea of what they want, rather than someone who wants whatever they can get. However, I don't know that a date before eight is an automatic rejection, maybe they work the night-shift or there's some other personal reason. Maybe they want a more casual date. I just wouldn't recommend trying to force these hard and fast (hah) rules on every situation.

Yeah, shit like this fixing to get you in trouble. I wouldn't try and pigeonhole some random ass behavior as an automatic indicator that you're gonna get lucky. Bill Cosby made the same mistake, he thought just because the girls passed out after he slipped them a roofie, it meant they wanted the d.

Meh. Not necessarily, but it's pretty easy to tell if you're being blown off.

I think something that needs to be kept in mind is most online dates (this excludes one night stands) are probably going to have a much larger feeling out process than traditional dates. After all, it's one profile picture and a paragraph away from a blind-date.

Thanks for the feedback.

I disagree with everything you said.
 
I think you are a virgin just like Hume was.

1. So fucking impress her and give her a reason not to bring her phone out.

2. So fucking impress her, make her laugh, take her dancing. Maybe meeting before 8 is a good thing because you'll have more time with her.

3. Ok.

4. You sound like a woman reading teen magazine. Nothing wrong after the date or next day texting; "Had a great time with you :)"

LOL You're BROKE complaining.

Move this shit to the Gheyberry

Np. You seem like you're honest and respectful, unlike some other posters who make "dating" threads around here.

My main point was that hard and fast rules are almost always bullshit. If you're looking for reasons why she's not interested you're going to find them, it doesn't mean you should just give up before you even try.

I hope you know the Bill Cosby thing was just a joke, I wasn't seriously comparing you to Bill Cosby.
 
lmao @ ugly or poor people's take on dating. wish they were prohibited from reproducing.
 
Who are you?

Because she is going to perceive you as something.

Human thought works at the first stages on assumptions based on stereotypes.

Are you...

Confident?

Cool?

Shy?

Mysterious?

Passionate?

Businessman built on success? Teacher made of ideas? Politician set on power?

Know this, show this, and she will want everything about you, because you will fit the dreams she has been shown her whole life.

Whether a bad boy rebel she can craft a new world with, or a stable banker who will sort our her life.

Mature woman, young girl, sweet lady... all are looking to create a dream, a dream about the future far, far past what a man usually sees... if she sees a picture of you as a dream, you will be her future.

Being "poor" can help get you laid if you have the right foundation.

My "A professor is never a rich man" quip gets many an admiring smile or wink.

Rich enough in other ways my friend, rich enough.
