What the hell does “after dinner” even mean?
I was texting (very briefly) with an attractive 35 year old man from OLD. I said to him “It’s so cold today!!” And he replied “HAHAHA. Your blood has thinned out since you moved, you pussy.”
UMMMMMMMMMM. Am I one of your LVM friends? I am a woman you are allegedly interested in. WTF. Blocked.

Right? Some of these men are in a state of perpetual adolescence. GTFU!!

You can't take a joke, you just don't understand his sense of humor, maybe a man can explain it to you..
Nah, just kidding, sis. What a maroon who can't even figure out that he needs to figure out how to talk to women.

GIRL, you had me at first. LOL.
And exactly!

I've said it before: The older ones are just as LV and moronic as the younger ones.

Right? The pecking order 1.Woman 2. Man 3. Dog. They're kindergartners in the school of evolution.😂
[–][deleted] 26 points27 points28 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Having met many dogs, I disagree with this. Dogs are loyal, faithful, loving, and they do not lie.
[–]AFineDogMomFDS Newbie11 points12 points13 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Agree. Dogs are simps in the best way. If only men could learn from them.

Lol I do stand corrected. My bad.

“He’s texting in grunt” 😂
[–]Fatt3stAveng3rFDS Disciple38 points39 points40 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Never take a man's number and never text first. Why? Because it's a lazy man's wet dream to pretend that a woman is "chasing" him.
And no. Like the tides come and go, LVM never grow up.

I messed that up... another rule to ingrain in myself.
[–]BettyXFDS Apprentice13 points14 points15 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Yo, so many men over 50 use this. Why? WHY?
[–]Minute_SignFDS Apprentice11 points12 points13 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
They think it makes them seem young. Like I know you are 50+ so just act your age and stop making a fool of yourself!

insert "How do you do, fellow kids?" meme
[–]Bewondered[S] 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Use it with your buddies..not on a potential.
[–]Sherbert-TrickFDS Newbie42 points43 points44 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Never take a guy’s number. He has to take yours and make the first move with it.
Good advice. Thanks.
[–]Emergency-Feed8216FDS Apprentice8 points9 points10 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Over 50? I would avoid age- gapping "up." Older men are not higher value. They were generally raised with even more retrograde values and-- if they're on OLD-- are availing themselves of all the modern character-melting fuckery like streaming porn on top of it.
If he's more than a few years older than you, it's a negative filter letting in pervs. If he's actually high value, he's dating exclusively in his own age range and is widowed, not divorced (unless he was cruelly cheated on-- rare).

It’s not FDS to take a guy’s number, and it’s also not recommended that you text with your private phone before the first date. If you met on an app then message there until the first date at least.
Also, there’s no need to text back once a man sends low effort or mixed messages, just ignore or block. If it was a mistake, a HVM will clarify that and apologize quickly. Once he’s been established as a LVM, there’s no need to waste time or energy on him.

This. I gave my number to a dude from an app, he checked my number in my phone provider's catalogue and found personal info about me that I didn't know was public, like my exact adress, my full name and my father's name. Beware.
[–]shortywannarockFDS Newbie0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Whaaaat! Damn, stay safe out there ladies
[–]AyemHerselfFDS Disciple3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Do women actually respond to this?
They do, and you just proved it.
We need to realize that for guys, success isn't always about getting a date. They're perfectly happy with the occasional text, orbiting behavior, or even the knowledge that they pissed us off. It's not about an "endgame" for a lot of men, it's about knowing we exist in the periphery whenever they're lonely, have no "better" options, and feel like reaching out for a minute.
You broke the cycle by blocking him, but he still feels the "win" knowing he got under your skin. Because the anger of a woman who doesn't play their game is like a secondary prize to them.
Side note: The blatant ignoring your texts and insisting on waiting until "after dinner" implies he had someone with him at dinnertime. Possibly a wife or girlfriend. He could've been polite with "hey, I'm busy at the moment, I'll reach out later," but it sounds like he only had time to get in a quick text before his companion caught him on his phone.

Eeew...so gamey it's gross.
[–]nebsemiFDS Newbie1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I was talking to a guy through email and he ended his email with "let's wrap this up" because he wants to play online chess 🤡
He's going to get wrapped in bandages if I ever see him in real life 🙃

I use the app -- or used to -- unless and until we meet in real life. I'm not going to allow access to my private world until he shows me that he's potential HV. If he wants more of my time, he can take me to dinner. But I'm definitely not wasting my time texting with some random who won't even ask me out. I tell them, I don't like texting.
