There goes my social security. Also can't go to the mall because of the uptick in incel shooters.

A. Money
B. Looks
C. Game/Rizz
D. Fame
In 2024, you will need a combination of 2 of the 4 listed above with 1 always being money. Either:
Money and Looks
Money and Fame
or Money and Game/Rizz

Get the passport feature on Tinder, and then get your actual passport.
Set your location to cities in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Look around.

Latin America
There was a baw on here a few weeks ago that about had me convinced to go and find a Latina. Dude seemed like he was living the life with his. I was jealous the women I meet wouldn't do any of the stuff his was willing to do.

Or you could just use the word "status". Can you infer status on a woman? If so, you should be fine. Women select men that other women would select. Women ignore men that other women ignore.

So you view women as only cum dumpsters?

This is 2024, not the 1990s. Video games are mainstream and accepted as cool now. It’s not just a nerdy dork activity anymore.
Listen, I am late 40s, in very good shape, have lived an interesting life, and I casually date early- and mid-20s chicks all the time. Not because I seek them out, but because THEY make the move. (I prefer less of a generational gap, but I'm not a dumbass - they're young and hot, so I'm not turning them down.)
I'm pretty blunt, so I always ask them why they're dating "an old guy like me", "a guy old enough to be their dad", etc. It's part of the interview, primary research if you will.
The answer is always, ALWAYS, the same. Some variant of "guys our age are douchebags; all they want to do is get drunk/high and play video games." Every single time.
You can quibble over video games specifically if you want, but at a minimum, it's a proxy for Peter Pan Syndrome - guys who won't grow up and act like men.
(They don't in the bedroom either, but that's a different conversation.)

#2, location matters. If I was single and 40 I couldn't live in a small town full time, just lack of options, and opportunities. Not saying you have to move to NYC, but a larger metro, even in the suburbs, will provide more options.
This has been mentioned numerous times, but it is extremely important. The Atlanta area (burbs included) is crawling with opportunity. The wider net will give you reps and reps build confidence and comfort.
Also, when evaluating, using a checklist is a good way to back yourself into a bland relationship. The hunt is for who you cant stand to live without, not who you are good living with. Finding a partner that somewhat checks all the boxes is fine, but finding the one that is so awesome at 4 out of 5 you forget about the 5th has proven to be better for me. Let it find you vs being determined to find it.

Ones that are on literally all the dating apps? Yes. I'm not on the apps left them a longtime ago (2105) My only deal breakers:
-Cannot currently be on a dating app
-No kids
-Not over age of 32
That's it. I can work around anything else. The women that are on all the apps have been passed around and have fricked tons of guys. Not something I am interested in at this point. I didn't care when I was younger how many people someone had slept with I am at over 500 myself. Do you think this is unreasonable?

The guys in that age range are using p0rn to get off and the girls are not. The older men who were not raised on easy access p0rn appreciate sex with a woman. Too many of the younger generation are ok with rubbing one out and going back to video games. This is leaving the younger girls unsatisfied and why the older men are getting approached.

You should not have to explain that. This should be common knowledge. I blame it on overbearing moms and "happy wife happy life" Dads raising sons with plenty of love and good intentions, but very little true wisdom about what awaits their sons out in the world.

Preach brother! These low T fatties have no clue what it is like. Don't ever apologize for being able to attract younger women few of us have this ability and they are just jealous.

You know how many times I've tried to explain this to people?
It's not about YOU (royal "you"). It's about how you make THEM look, specifically to other women.
If other women aren't going to be envious of her because she has you, then she's not going to want you.
The solution is to be a "catch" - because they don't want you directly. You have to appeal to Woman A so that Woman B will want you. And be appealing to Woman B so that Woman A will want you.
It has little to do with you outside of that.

I’m a recently single 46 yr old man and I’m having the best time of my life. I play volleyball 2 nights a week and take a boxing class 2 nights a week and I’m meeting tons of single women. They are out there and honey as frick.

I'll admit a good amount of my situation is my own doing. I was definitely one of those immature boys in my 20s and even early 30s who didn't really know what I wanted and was afraid of commitment.
Yep, your fault so you will end up in a sub optimal situation now.

Yet another example. You have to put yourself out there in natural settings and you will absolutely meet women but you have to seize the opportunity and take it. This isn't rocket science. You aren't going to meet women staying indoors on the couch or playing video games etc.
Posted on 4/15/24 at 10:35 am to TheMountaineer
put yourself out there. you will miss every opportunity you dont go after. dont be shy to try younger women. late 20's to early 30's. just remember you probably arent prince charming so make sure you keep that in mind.
Posted on 4/15/24 at 10:36 am to TheMountaineer
The game has never changed. You either have it or you don't. If you have it, then women can be found anywhere....grocery store, Lowes, work, bar, just getting gas, restaurant and so on. If you're unwilling to make the move then it won't matter where they are. Start a conversation or not.

There's a difference between bragging online (no point in that; nobody knows anybody) and giving data points based on personal experiences.
I've never once touched a weight or run a mile for vanity reasons. For decades, I needed to be in peak physical condition for work. Now I simply want to be healthy and physically capable of the responsibilities of being a man, so I do what I need to do to maintain it. As a result, I'm in far better shape than 20 year olds, much less guys my own age.
And while I didn't/don't do it for the ladies, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't help in that regard.
The point is, others certainly CAN and SHOULD do it for that reason (if they want to). The only reason it wouldn't help is if you're rich as hell.
It's something perfectly and absolutely within the individual's control - all they have to do is decide to do it then do it. It's never too late to start.
