Last thing. Remember your value. Not the value that is constantly blasted in the media. Know that most women (even the crazies) want a solid masculine man more than anything. You have the value, lots of poor/single girls with a vagina. Not as many masculine men with resources.
What really blew my mind was being well received by women in general instead of the open hostility and coldness that most western women display. I think they think it's "powerful" or something but it's not fun to talk to a grumpy cold bitch.
I found more foreign girls that weren't raised to be mean and shitty to men. There are plenty bad ones but take a trip to one of these places and just enjoy the sights and travel and see if you enjoy talking and interacting with local girls. Don't be a sex pest but just see if you click with any of them.
At 42 you shouldn't have much trouble if you're:
Not hideous, not poor, and don't have a ton of kids.
That being said dating is shit and even women at age 30+ are entitled and expect a lot from a man. I recommend going to south America/Mexico and find some mostly European woman there. Same rules apply but you'll have more economic status.
What do you do for work/hobbies? How do you meet people (even men)?
I def wouldn't spend money on dinner etc. Coffee is fine and I'm just giving you a hard time. That being said the coffee date and dating game is not working really. When I go for women I just socialize around them and with them at work/school etc long enough to see if they are interested. Then coffee or whatever. Just cold approaching or asking out rarely works unless you're chad
Jew puppets at dw. Time for crowder to pick a side
