@Bozza don't lose sight of the vast difference in the experience of men versus women on OLD.

Men such as yourself scroll through the list, send out messages to several women of interest... then have nothing more to do until and unless any of these women make the effort to reply.

Women on the other hand, experience a firehose of attention just by having a profile on the site without having to put in any effort into reaching out make first contact with anyone.

Picture an A list celebrity or Senior politician in some public place, with a gaggle of reporters following them and aggressively trying to get their question even noticed much less answered.

At any given time. Most of the women you are waiting for responses from, have already chosen a prospect from this flood, and are engaging with and trying to catch an ongoing relationship with him. Only after the current prospect plays out, do they go back to the lone waiting for their attention and choose the next best option and start a fresh dating cycle.

It makes sense that among the M-F working population, post weekend days concentrate those whose last weekend fling didn't stick and are now lining up the next prospect.

Before OLD, the cycle time kept a floor around 1 week. Now, that time has gotten reduced to zero for those with the ambition and energy to run this game with several prospects concurrently. Since it's anonymous and independent from IRL social connections, there comes little chance of developing a reputation as Busy Buns.

Should i ghost her or act like nothing happen?

Made a terrible mistake despite the AWALT mentality.

I've been dating this girl for 2 weeks (we haven't had sex yet, since it's only been a coffee date). She clearly is into me and she knew i'm into her but last night she got drunk with 4 guys and 2 girls. She said she doesn't remember how she got home someone "dropped her off." She didn't call or message me afterward and kept apologizing when I answered her call, especially after hearing my aloof tone.

She knows what she did is a red flag drinking with 4 men. She's a 9/10, and those guys were flirting with her. I'm pretty sure she's flirting back, given her attitude. And I suspect she might have hooked up with someone that night.

Now, should I ghost her or just act like nothing happened and keep her as a "plate"? The thing is, I already sent her a LTR beta cuck provider signal, so I don't think i can just plate her easily.

Consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.

@SeasonedRP Further evidence that you're going wayy off in the direction of cheering for and supporting corrupt law enforcement and militarization of police duties.

Prosecutors rather quietly dropped numerous felony charges against protesters at the event that "justified the need to send Federal troops to "protect" Los Angeles because local law enforcement was getting helplessly overrun."

Turns out that video and other evidence either doesn't support, or directly contradicts, officer claims and accounts of events leading to these arrests. One protester was charged with felonies for allegedly shoving a police officer. Video of the incident clearly showed the POLICE OFFICER shoving the protester unprovoked, then officers taking him down and arresting him. Another incident the officers claimed was part of this incident, turned out happened at a different time and location than the above. An officer, once again unprovoked, shoved a female protester. She raised her hand in defense, then got piled on and arrested by numerous officers in plentiful body armor. Her sister briefly touched the shoulder of one of the officers on top of the woman, and she was also taken down and arrested for obstruction and assault on an officer.

THIS... THIS is the kind of behavior you support, embolden, and amplify, when you passively accept the militarization of law enforcement, and side with the cops against what you probably assume are "leftist protesters."
