Do you wait for signs of interest before approaching?

[TruthSeeker]

You not alone thats like 98% of men don't match with the women they really want on tinder. Because 100% of women are matching with the 2% of men on tinder who are elite.

I am starting to think that tinder isn't practically working even for those 2%. Sure, they can get many women and easily have sex with them on the first date, but even those elite 2% know that those women would easily cheat on them. Basically, hypergamy has reached a point where even super high tier men are not protected from failure, cheating and overall nasty vibe of dishonesty and constant testing, nagging...etc.

I have used tinder for years and yet have never been on a date with a woman that I would consider a keeper in any form or shape.

Exaclty you have to keep the positive vibes after your 30+ rejection. Pretty difficult especially when you know they are rejecting you, they not having a bad day.

I don't cold approach anymore because I lost interest in it just like I lost interest in googling 'best arm builders'. Call it a phase. 

I might cold approach again in the future if I happen to see a girl who on the surface seems like my type. But thats a big might, considering I have mostly lost the will power to date millennial women.

To be fair, they are not always rejecting you. Some of those women are just afraid to reciprocate while others are already taken and/or in a bad mood. But yes - if you were a model, they would be more polite and respectful.

I've had women raise their hand pretending to slap me during approaches. And this is after a compliment...hahaha.

I understand you.

Back in my early to mid 20s, I was in a hardcore monk mode.

It's hard not to be exhausted from the dating game. The constant games and criticism from both, men and women, get to you. In the end, you ask yourself - why am I doing this to myself?
