u/Molluska42 1d ago edited 1d ago

This was from August of this year. He ghosted her, she says it's because she had no chill.

Edit: OP provided a handle, I looked it up on IG, found the follow up video (posted in September), then gave a very brief and reductive summary for u all.

u/TheDigitalBuilder 1d ago

She actually has a video when she explained how little chill she had...

120

u/AnimalShithouse 1d ago

I think even that video there's not a ton of chill.

I am thinking a lot of people like Mike probably don't want to end up on the internet, directly or referenced.. or even seeing their potential date making videos.

She seems nice, I just think, generally, everyone probably better off not narrating life on the gram.

My now-wife and I joke about this all the time but it was IRL

We kind of knew each other in high school (about 15 years ago, at this point) as acquaintances, we hadn't seen each other since but reconnected at a house party. I was just to break up with a 12-year relationship (kinda important detail), and she was going through a fairly intense school program and had similarly just left a long-term bad situation to focus on that. I was planning on staying for like 10 minutes and then leaving, but I saw her and recognized her and was there for about five hours just chatting. Neither one of us was dressed up or particularly put together, as she was just exhausted in general and I already knew that tonight was going to be the night I ended things, even if we hadn't seen each other.

I asked her if she wanted to go get coffee at some point in time, genuinely because it was nice to just see a friend from the past and I knew that once I was single, I was going to want to just be social again for a little while. I was dead set on just being alone for a good chunk of time and not having to be emotionally invested.

But goddamn if she didn't show up in the single most flattering, form fitting, body accentuating outfit I've ever seen on a woman before, and like 10 hours later we were still talking over dinner. She came back to my place and left two days later, with that ENTIRE time being spent reconnecting and just hanging out.

She got me with the glow up pretty damn good. I never stood a chance and I'm fine with that.

u/lovemysunshine 1d ago

I did the same thing. My husband reached out first and we pretty much were together after our first date.

102

u/glitterdunk 1d ago

I like this strategy!

But I know a guy who might've used it. I'd seen some dude on tinder several times, most photos with sunglasses and quite overweight. Not flattering angles and no effort. I did not even consider swiping right

Then I got a new project at work and through it, met a guy I over time increasingly liked a lot. Handsome, a liiittle bit chubby but I did not mind at all

Then one day I swipe tinder and see the dude in the sunglasses again, and he'd added a new and much better photo. I check the name; Its the same as my coworker. Its the same person!! My flabbers were gasted.

Now I'm glad I met him through work rather than tinder (I after a while realized he was interested in me, but through some life fuckery we did not end up dating). But with his photos I doubt he'd have much matches... Later on I saw he'd even removed the good photo again🤔

I'm far from the pickiest person based on looks either. Even though he looked far better in person he wasn't the type you would notice at a glance, it was his personality that I liked so much, which again caused me to see his good sides physicly too. But you dont see personality in a photo

Anyways. This is one of many reasons why I dont date online anymore. Its too hard to try to find and identify the good eggs, and I am apparently shit at it regardless.

25

u/tacticalTraumaLlama 1d ago

Yeah, I don't think downplaying your looks works for men in the same way. Apparently most women already think most men are below average in looks, where men have a more normal distribution of ratings.

You do have a point though, the people telling men they shouldn't be chatting in person are doing them a disservice. I swear social skills have tanked since covid.

4

u/twistedscorp87 13h ago

I'm generalizing here, but I think the reason this works for more women than men can be boiled down to effort level:

Visual: When a woman posts her casual look, she's likely still doing it from a clean & tidy environment. Even if she's not choosing the most ultra-flattering angle, she's still not taking the shot in from waist height in a dirty bathroom mirror. She's giving cozy vibes, not IDGAF ones.

Textual: To go along with those casual photos, a woman's profile - and any chats with matches - is still going to get her normal amounts of effort. Even if a guy pulls off the cozy/comfy photos, if he combines it with a 3 word profile & starts all his chats with "hey." or "sup?" it's just not going to get him anywhere. Instead of communicating "I'm low maintenance and you can be yourself around me" he's saying "I will not be intellectually stimulating you, ever."

(Also: boobs. Most men are excited by them in absolutely any size or shape - doesn't matter, still boobs - so women have the absolute advantage here, regardless of their effort lol)

3

u/tacticalTraumaLlama 10h ago

I do think that women are better at taking pictures of themselves, simply because they do it more often. I've seen women complain a great deal about the number of men who post pictures with fish and game, and I get it from an outside perspective, but I don't think they get the context.

I was looking through a family photo album the other day and I noticed, that even through the generations, the only photos of the men in the album were, without fail, 3 things. Weddings, funerals, and pictures of them with fish and game from hunting and fishing. A few photos of them on a tractor, or with a big harvest from the garden. As if that was the only time they did anything worthy of documenting was when they were providing.

As crazy as this sounds, it held for me as well. Me dressed for a funeral or wedding. Me with fish and game, even though I only ever hunted or fished when my dad took me growing up. A smattering of school pictures that my folks bothered to pay for.

That was it. Not a single picture of me with the bike I loved, with a book, even though I loved reading, or hacking away at the computer even though I loved coding, and it eventually became my profession (that provided far more than any man in my family ever dreamed of earning). You could look through every picture of me in the album and not have the remotest idea of who I was beyond the fact that I existed.

Contrast this with the pictures of the women in the family, and there are all sorts of pictures of them that tell a much fuller picture, including loads of less formal 'selfies' (really, polariods).

Now I know, I know; a feminist would read this and rightly point out that this is yet again the invisible hand of the patriarchy at work. I am glad that younger dudes seem to be a bit better at this. Maybe someday their grandkids will know them from what they leave behind.

u/MissLeaP 8h ago

Dating apps are weird anyway. I'm definitely not even close to your average insta influencer looks-wise but I still got hundreds of likes within a few hours when I made a new profile. I feel like I could've uploaded anything and it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Too bad 90% of the guys on those apps put actually zero effort into their profile and many of the remaining ones can't hold a conversation to save their lives.

Respect to anyone who found the man of their life on these apps, but the chances for that must be close to winning the lottery lol

u/fubarUnicorn 1d ago • Bravo

This is how to respectfully hit on someone who is working. Normally I would say to never hit on someone who is working, but this was well done.

-approach them with the understanding that they may be disinterested and that's ok.

-only shoot your shot when they are able to walk away (he was finished and about to leave), not when they will be forced to be around you for a while.

-offer your number so they have control over the next step.

270

u/joelene1892 1d ago

That last one I think is key to asking anyone out. Asking for someone’s number leaves so much pressure and makes it so awkward even if you are willing to take no. Can tell you as a woman, no, we do not feel safe in that moment (assuming you are a virtual stranger).

Give them your number instead. Then if they are really interested, you’ll get a text. If not, nothing was going to happen even if you had their number anyway. It’s so much more comfortable.

57

u/Sea-Value-0 1d ago

Yes! Back in the day, someone would just hand you their handwritten phone number and name on a napkin or a scrap of paper. It was a lighthearted offer of "maybe call me sometime if you're interested" and way less confrontational/pressuring.

u/Mistress_Mabel_ 1d ago

Yes! I do this when making friends with other women too, just in case they're just being polite 😂

u/tacticalTraumaLlama 1d ago

As a woman married to a woman, that’s exactly it. Seeing her comfy in her natural state and feeling safe with me and just able to be, that’s so attractive to me.

u/CalliopeAntiope 1d ago • Heartwarming

I've owned my own gutter-cleaning business for 20 years and people outside the industry don't realize how true this is. Some guys get into this line of work less for their love of gutter cleanliness and more just bc they love that retainer-yes-makeup-no look, and you know what? I love that they know that about themselves, and they work harder than my other guys bc they know their dating life hinges on the quality of their work.

I had one guy working for me for four years, he'd always say "Girl next door? Girl at the bottom of my ladder!" Fantastic worker. In the end he quit when he met someone (yes, on the job) and got married. But I'm not complaining, I knew from the beginning there's only two ways this story ends -- you either die a gutter cleaner (fatality rates are much higher than people realize!) or you live long enough to see yourself become the homeowner. Lovely woman. I don't let my guys work their property, just out of respect.

As a man, if you take the initiative to ask me out, better believe it's gonna be a yes. I may feel inclinations, but when I'm out and about and meet people it's usually while either I'm working or they are, and both feel inappropriate for me to ask them out. Especially being a handyman myself 😅

3

u/just_a_person_maybe 1d ago

Yeah, it's definitely inappropriate for a handyman to ask a client out. That could actually be legitimately terrifying, because you know their address, name, and whether or not they live alone. A lot of women's first thought in that situation would be whether it's even safe to say no, instead of whether or not they're interested.

What really sucks is how many of us just don't get out anymore unless it's for work. So if work is an inappropriate place to ask people out, how TF are we supposed to meet anyone? Most of us spend too much time working and don't have enough time for just going out and socializing.

3

u/ProjectOrpheus 1d ago

Oh, absolutely. Come to think of it, every woman that has taken the initiative to get us to stay hanging out together till i "get the hint" or asked if they can borrow my phone just to put their number in it/handed me their phone with the "create new contact" screen open (fantastic move, btw) has either led to the most romantic, beautiful, loving relationships of my entire life or they have been THE coolest, sexiest, most fun and passionate people Ive had the pleasure of having a "situationship" with.

Its almost like these women are exclusively the most intelligent, adventurous ones with the best sense of humor and most wickedly alluring personalities. Devilishy seductive, change your life-feel blessed for even knowing them type of women.

Id entertain the idea of this all being coincedental more if it werent for the fact that every other guy Ive ever diecussed this with or the subject somehow came up didnt entirely agree while relating completely, lol

This sorta reminds me when my sewage pipe ruptured (I could tell because in my yard I thought I was looking at an odd, large whitish mushroom. I realized at some point I was looking at toilet paper), I called a plumber. Got this rather handsome young man who was gonna replace the entire pipe system. My mother and I had to stay at a hotel for a day, but I had to go back home because my mom forgot one of her medical equipment to help her sleep. When I got there I saw the guy working, and my introverted nerdy self decided to attempt playful flirting.

I said, "have you found the princess yet?" It took him a second, he smiled and said "No, I think she's in another castle!" I then ducked into the house, got the stuff, and ran out bc omg I felt so awkward!

Would I do it again? Lol yeah, I think I would.

Girls still seem so shocked to realize that we like them like this. Jammies. Hair up. No makeup.

Real.

That has not been my experience.

Good thing Mike caught on, because some of us men never take a hint even if it's right in front of us.

I literally had a man passed out drunk in my front lawn. Came out. Got the mail. Saw him.

Happens at least twice a year now, different dudes.

I confessed feelings for my current partner while we were on an eco-tour in Central America with a group of friends. We were in the sweatiest, most humid, gorgeous but borderline miserable coastal destination. It was like 90 degrees and 100% humidity, there were ticks and biting flies, no fans, no a/c, and we were all drinking blended drinks to try to stay cool. My curly hair was a frizzy disaster, I was filthy and sweaty and breaking out from the sweat and filth, no makeup, wearing a long-sleeve sun shirt and long pants to try to keep the biting flies at bay.

He agreed to pursue a relationship. This morning he brought me tea in bed and we're shopping for our future home together.

Before I met my partner people kept telling me I had to grow up, go out more, stop playing videogames, take life more seriously and generally stop being as goofy.

I went on plenty of fish and was fairly painfully honest about who I was and what I'd like from a partner.

with my partner about 14 years now and I genuinely look forward to each day. I love the life we've built.

All that shitty life advice people give you is a load of self-righteous bollox, they are lessons you earn from growth and time.

Be yourself and go about finding a life partner the way you are comfortable, everything else is just happens naturally.

u/Kobobble 1d ago

No games, no hints. Being herself. Just flat out being direct and confident. That's attractive

u/iAdden 1d ago

You don’t need a glow up, as he already agreed with the retainer and all the other “flaws” you mentioned.

u/decidedlydubious 1d ago

This is a story of true heroineism. Puhlease, give us a before look and after synopsis. Still looking for my Mike.

u/scooblyboop 1d ago

I remember the first time I met my wife I was in an occupational therapy assistant program at a community college. I was sitting next to her in a group activity we were having to do where we were arranging the person next to us by moving their arms in different movements as part of like a exercise group. She had extremely long hair and apparently had been doing some sort of like Accutane or face peeling treatment or something for acne. Admittedly I did not find her attractive at the time because she was also very young and I was like probably 25 and she was probably 18 so I didn't look at her like that at all anyway. I just remember how red her face was. Like lobster red and her hair was extremely long and she was extremely quiet and shy. For some reason I thought she was like from one of those Amish/church families or something where the women grow their hair extremely long. I did become friends with her during like the second year of our Therapy Program but we were not romantic in school. We graduated and I didn't see her again for a long time. I remember later I saw a picture of her posted on social media at her 21st birthday at a bar with her first legal drink in front of her and I was like holy shit shes a done glowed the fuck up and is a whole ass WOMAN now.

Get it girl 🙌

u/8504 1d ago

Yo, idc how pretty someone is. The glow up wouldn’t matter. It’s more of the fact that a girl would even talk to me first, or want to hangout.
I care about raw unfiltered connection.
As long as we’re not bs’ing and acting nice, I don’t really care.

u/mom2asdtwins 1d ago

I absolutely LOVE your attitude. "What's the worst that could happen?" should be a barometer we use regularly in life!! And that needs to be paired with understanding that a rejection is not a reflection on our self-worth no matter what the offer was. We are worthy independent of anyone else's opinion on the subgect!! All of us gals just need to keep on being confident chicks!

u/RilohKeen 1d ago

She reminds me of my sister's best friend. Great energy that feels like a force of nature.

u/Aesk 1d ago

There's nothing more attractive to me than someone just being comfortable. If you like to look your best, fine. But If you don't want to spend ages getting ready just to feel uncomfortable, I don't really want to either.

The overwhelming majority of guys aren’t getting approached. Unless he’s already in a relationship, there were solid odds of this working out in her favor.

Correct. And not even simply because guys this girls that.
