I don’t mind the hi Jack. It all depends on what we identify as “works”. Does getting a date mean it “worked” does getting a match mean it “worked” does getting married mean it “ worked”
UUUUuuuummmm getting dates means it is working, that is what OLDing is for. If you were sending out resumes and were getting job interviews but not getting the job, would you blame it on your resume or your interviewing skills or maybe the job wasn't the right fit?

That's because you have one goal in mind and that is a LTR. Again this isn't OLDings fault.

I'd say that is not bad. 50% of people can't get a date. 35% of people can't even get a response to 1 message.
Here is MY opinion on OLDing based on experience, research etc. OLD is great for the top 10% of men. They own the market and have the choice to date any woman they want. To be in the top 10% your SMV (sexual market value) includes the following: You must be a least 6 feet tall, you must make at least 6 figures and you must be good looking and in really great shape. Most of these men are obviously confident and well ad versed in "game" strategy. No need to have just one when they can have them all with little or no effort. When you read woman writing in their profiles "please no games or hookups" this is exactly what they are talking about. That got played by a 10% probably at least a few times. Then next 10-40% of men can get matches and dates based on what is thrown aside by the top 10%. Women typically prefer to date up (hypergamy) so 9s will only date 10s 8s will only date 9s etc until they have had enough. If you don't believe me Dejavu is social proof on the board 1 out of 200. Eventually a woman may get tired of getting played and will give us average Joes a chance. So for the bottom 50% for men and women it can be a rough go. Either no dates or not returned messages. Remember we are all just monkeys with our lizard brains banging away on our cellphones swiping on what our brains perceive are a match for reproduction and survival.
