I had written about Tinder / dating apps a couple years ago in extensive detail here: https://mikemehlman.net/2019/05/30/tinder-why-she-wont-respond-to-your-message/2021-02-2210 min

Guys will ask what the fuck that means. Deregulation means fully winging your behavior. That is, it's not about the hyper-specifics of what you say or do; what matters most in your interactions with women is that you ar...2021-02-1809 min

That is, is there generally a certain timeframe (i.e., 40s, 50s, 60s) at which point the male will experience a notable drop-off in sexual outcomes. I've talked about male SMV in prior content.

I've made lots of content discussing how rejection will compose the overwhelming majority of your interactions regardless, but most guys take on that input/advice only halfway. In other words, guys might hear me talk about the normality of rejection and say, "Ok, well I guess getting rejected a...2021-02-0706 min

I wouldn't ordinarily think anything of this, but there are two notable points: 1) Various guys have asked me this, so apparently this is a concept frequently gestated, and 2) I myself have never once thought about ego in relation to rejection.

My answer at the time was "whenever/however the fuck you feel like it." In this new, short clip, I elaborate a bit more and incorporate more evolved perspective.

This is a direct and declarative opener. Guys will get very impassioned about this and have all sorts of disagreements. "Michael, you're wrong. I think x." That's okay. I'm j...2020-12-2410 min

In other words, there's value to be garnered here even for more experienced males who otherwise consider themselves as having moved far beyond having approach anxiety. Le...2020-12-2413 min

To address the first point: The same way most males won't approach females no matter what, most females will reject males no matter what. This isn...2020-12-2311 min

However an observation I've made after having started to preach deregulation is the propensity for guys to use it as an excuse for being non-forward and not putting in work.

The male will approach in order to meet girls and gain plates. After he finds himself dating, e.g., 3-5 new girls, there's a greater tendency for him to become complacent and decide he doesn't need to approach quite as much. He might ask himself why bother approaching in "high volume," since a little here and there is okay. This is...2020-11-2803 min
