Based on his replies, he is 49, filters for women 32-45, and considers the conversation a bust if they don't agree to drinks within the first few messages. He's also a political tard-rager podcaster with some of the most boomer takes on the planet. "Being outdoorsy" is not a draw if it means signing up for a 4-hour hike defined by an over-the-hill dunce sperging stale takes about Nancy Pelosi and vegans the whole time.
Naturally, he's getting advised by the blind leading the blind with other men insisting that he needs to double down and commandeer a dog or baby for a profile pic, pretend to show more interest, and rest assured that any woman who wants to chat for more than 5 minutes before meeting a jacked ex-vet stranger for drinks is a gold-digging, time-wasting whore. You see this on Reddit constantly, men asking for advice on their profiles or first dates or whatever and getting their dick sucked by other men for the most threadbare, colorless, low-effort content, and advice from women is downvoted and written off as being too picky or entitled. lmao there was even a thread a little while ago saying that any women who unmatches if you spell her name wrong in the FIRST MESSAGE is probably a shrill and joyless bitch who will die alone.
Let's translate the information he generously provided to us.
- He's 49, so.... he's 50. He's 50, late middle age, with no wife or child on the scene. Christ. No man is in their prime at 50, unless it's Amazon Prime and they are ordering their haemorrhoid cream and comfy slippers.
Given he's ex-mil, highly suspect there's an ex wife and some older kids he doesn't bother with in the background, but he doesn't think they are important enough to tell you about. A proud and involved father is never reticent about his role as a father.
- Photo looks like they will run it on the crime pages of the local newspaper. Considers himself physically attractive and doesn't understand why that's not the only thing women would look for in a partner. He is both wrong about his attractiveness, and accidentally very revealing about the only quality he wants in a partner. A warm hole to pound.
- "Outdoorsy" "mountains and oceans" No hobbies or interests. This is the dating app equivalent of "has pulse, still breathing." Does like taking younger women out to secluded spots, though, like wooded trails and boats. The Implication strikes again.
- "Retired vet with pension" Both old and poor, military pension is nothing to write home about. This is a dogwhistle for right wing politics, too. Thanks for letting women know.
Also, sadly, due to his age, there's a very decent risk of combat PTSD or other serious psychiatric issues there too. The moids are always screaming about screening for Cluster B disorders: listen to them, because they are telling you they are actively concealing their significant psychiatric issues.
Plus. he's telling you outright here he's had military level weapons training, and that he owns at least one gun. Put intimate partner together with mental illness and weapons access and training, and... yeah.
- "Own business" welllllll my housewives out there slinging Thrive patches have their own business too. This is not that impressive a boast, if you have to make it. What sort of turnover? How many employees? How many branches? The problem for moids with trying to flex their "economic and business success" is that people's first question is going to be "well, how successful?"
- "No single mothers" This dude is no Golddigger-era Kanye taking out all the kids to eat as a flex. He has no intention of living any family life. This is also a big fucking clue that he can't afford it. Plus, he expects to be your top priority. A guy who already has kids understands a man is never a normal mother's top priority.
- Demanding of time and attention "drinks within three messages". Yes, psychologically stable women are absolutely keen to meet a roided up former soldier in person, alone, immediately that they see one photo of him. But he's not looking for psychologically stable. He's looking for a sex worker he doesn't need to pay.
- "32 - 45" Yep, we can check the box for insisting on significantly younger women. Easier to control, as we all know. Also moids remain convinced a younger partner is a sign of status. So, we can add status-fixated to the rest of his characteristics.
- "Podcast" Having a podcast is only acceptable if you are literally Tony Hawk. This dude is no Tony Hawk.
