My collection of dating tips for men over 30 (originally posted on Facebook)
- PAY ATTENTION!
Not to just her physical attributes, but to her "rescue call" person is. That is the OTHER person you need to make smile. Also learn her job title, her kids name, and her choice in a meal. When your date gives you "details", remembering them can make ALL the difference!
- BE REALISTIC!
1) The 20 something waitress thinks you're OLD so stop checking her out (or be more discreet) Find beauty in your date.
2) You are NOT the first guy this woman has dealt with and you're not likely to be the BEST in more than a couple of categories. So Don't push it.
3) She probably DOES NOT NEED you, but may let you take care of her anyway.
4) She Still likes to be hunted but is a far more difficult prey, so use bring your A game!
5) Your date has had men become complacent so NEVER STOP BRINGING your A Game... EVER! (it can be fun doing this)
6) Puts up with a whole lot less bullshit, so do this sparingly
6) Puts up with a whole lot less bullshit, so do this sparingly
- BEST PICKUP LINE EVER!!!!
"Hi my name is [insert your real name, not
nickname], what is yours?" EVERY SINGLE OTHER pickup line is WORSE than
this, Period!
- TERRITORIAL
Women are too! YES they will "LET" you "Claim" them, Riiiight up until
you say anything negative about how many shoes they have. That's their
territory and them's fighting words!
-- Addendum: A
womans shoe is the one item of clothing least likely to change in size
from high school forward... so you can bet she NEVER throws shoes away,
they just keep accumulating so by the time she's thirty+ Her TERRITORY
is impressive! You betta' recognize!! (or at the very least SAY NOTHING
AT ALL).
- BE YOURSELF
What does this mean? It means your stories about what you
were "totally awesome at" at 20 will amuse her. Your stories of life
lessons learned since 20 will endear her, and your ACTUAL demonstrations
of this maturity will win her.
- PAYING THE BILL:
On
the first date, it's great that she makes enough money to pay the bill,
just don't let her do it, and for GOD sake if you cannot calculate 15%
in under 2.5 seconds just round that shit up! Her loss of interest in
you at that moment is DIRECTLY proportional to how long you spend
looking at the bill!
If
your date makes more money than you, GET OVER IT MAN! Age differences,
income differences, even your tastes in music or art don't mean near as
much as it did when you were 20. The fact that she accepted (or asked
you for) the date means she WANTS you for at least something. FIND out
what that is, maximize it, then totally revel in your newly forming
romance!
Addendum: DO
NOT Make ANY kind of "face" while payingit. If you do you're cheap,
broke or unemployed, and do not VERBALLY proclaim "oh that's not too
much" As you appear arrogant or at the very least like you didn't value
your date enough to go some place nicer. Trust me guys women over 30...
(well all women actually) DO NOT miss these kinds of details and doing
either of these just reset your "getting some" meter back to 0! It's not
hopeless, you just gotta start climbing that steep slope all over
again.
The
best way to have a women treat you beyond your wildest dreams is to
treat her, very well. A woman will multiply all the goodness you show
them and BURY you in the "good treatment" department. Don't believe me??? Just try it....
- (NOT MINE) but a good one:
"Whatever
mean things we say about your ex, it's in your best interest to agree
with us, even if it's completely unfounded. When you don't, you have
just waved a red flag in front of an already pissed off bull. And your
shit is gonna get broke." —Kt McBratney, 27, Omaha"
