I'm working on getting a wife.

I actively work on it a few hours every day.



What’s your method?

Having had some former coworkers that ended up at various dating platforms, dating is fascinating, I still think dating is something that needs a better modern solution than what “the apps” offer. Every dating app has a few fundamental flaws. There’s the human element too.

What worked for me was hacking Tinder circa 2014 by faking my geolocation and hypertargeting certain places and neighborhoods I knew would be up my dating alley and spamming posts on social media sites like Reddit and Craigslist.

It’s tough because some people don’t even know what they’re looking for in a partner.


I'm doing "daygame", 180 approaches so far.

I also use 5 dating apps, spend ~15min in them in total.

What kind of posts?
