Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
@Kloi I'm officially done with over-tipping. My general rule is that they shouldn't make more than $50k/year such as when I worked as a clerk or heck, even my wife BUT they do deserve a living wage. I do the math: If they have 4 tables and they're busy between them, for an average of a 90 minute dining experience, that comes out to a total of 8 tables over the course of 3 hours, or 2.6 tables an hour. For a $50/hour wage, that's about $20 tips sufficient regardless of the total check. I am not tipping someone $40 for carrying a $200 bottle of wine to my table.
I'm amazed that there are still people going out for fine dining regularly.
These women are desperately do not want to face the unpleasant truth that the number of men who are no longer willing to interact with stranger women has reach a critical point around the Man vs Bear question, so they make up these half-arsed theories made with the undercurrent of man-shaming to cope with the lack of male attention.
...impregnate this 42 year old woman
While I don't know this woman's personal health and fertility, the average fertility of 42yo women are terribly low, and frankly only a truly desperate guy who cannot find a younger woman to marry and have kids with will consider marrying a 42yo woman and hope he can knock her up.
The real question becomes is she willing to lower her standards enough if a man like that shows up?
I suspect the answer is NO!
@Typo-MAGAshiv I just may give it a try again. This.was a weekday so the store wasn't crowded, and apparently that's a good time to go.
I've never had anything like that happen at the grocery store, but I go on Saturday mornings after the gym, and probably 95% of the women are married. I wasn't expecting anything like that at Home Depot; certainly not at 9:30 a.m. on a weekday. But now I know.
jesus - I have second hand shame just listening to your story.
Firstly - never ever even consider seeing this woman again. She is a disaster. Drama and trauma. If she does text you, just text her back saying;
"I am currently in discussions with the police about potentially prosecuting you for making false accuastions of sexual assault. As you know, making false accusations is a serious offence, which will usually result in a custodial sentence. The police have advised me further that they will support any application that I make to have an exclusion order applied against you, for my own safety. Do not contact me again, by any means. If you fail to adhere to this condition, you will be hearing from the police."
Is she trying to get me to be a provider?
Tbh - this is a stupid question. All women would like all men to be providers.
It's like a woman asking another woman 'I went out on a date with a guy, now he wants a second date - do you think he wants to fuck me?'
If she can, she will pivot you into an orbiter than pays for her and entertains her.
Women let guys fuck them when they believe that is the only way to get A&V from them (attention and validation). They 'pay' a high price (sex) for a guy that they perceived as high value, and they pay a very low price (no sex) for a guy that they think is low value.
Sadly, you have already hurt your chances very seriously by paying for drinks all night long with her. She has already categorised you as beta. Tbh - you did it to yourself.
What I would do now - is this - text her back and say 'You're not ready?? Let me know when you are ready..... you have my number"
And then just leave it at that. no further contact. if she comes back to you (she might), then you know its odds on. If she doesn't, then it wasn't going to happen.

Scientists have tested out enteral ventilation—a possible method of administering oxygen with a liquid delivered through the rectum that is then absorbed into the intestines—in humans for the first time. The trial demonstrated that this method of ventilation is safe and “paves the way for future studies to see if this technique can help patients with respiratory failure,” according to a study published on Monday in the journal Med.
