Hi Queens
So in some other posts/comments I’ve spoken about how I’m trying to build a scrotation. So far I’m using the apps, with the exception of one speed dating event.
Now to the question. I met this seemingly normal guy who seems to be my type. I do have a thing for worldly sophisticated types. Anyway he asked me to have a drink before his trip to Europe about two weeks ago. I declined and said we should meet when he gets back.
He affirmed and enthusiastically texted me, keeping me posted at intervals. Then something very cringeworthy happened, he sent me a short video of him before flight takeoff, in his Delta business class seat, he was talking but didn’t hear the audio and didn’t care to ask because I just wanted to forget the video entirely tbh😩
I understand men want to compete by alluding to wealth/resources but it was such a turnoff. Also raised my heckles bc such overt boasting is tacky and suggests that this is all new to him. Also, is he trying to distract from other things?
Anyway, he checked in and was polite and “normal” during the rest of his trip. He sent pictures and let me know how his trip was going. He let me know when he got back and checked in to wish me good morning etc.
That was the one cringe thing so now I’m watching him closely. What do you guys think about peacocking or boastful behaviors?
Update: tossing this scrote back into the sea. Been back almost a week. Reached out yesterday to invite me to have a drink after work. LOL. Said I had other plans and spent the evening applying for jobs and binging Selling Sunset OC. FDS queen warned he was a time waster and tbh I suspected that as well. I’m very distrustful of random males from apps, and I suspect him inviting me to a drink so soon before traveling was his way of trying to create a false sense of urgency. This leads me to think he’s looking for easy sex. I also don’t typically do drink dates but didn’t want commit to dinner yet. From now on I simply won’t accept dates if I’m not sure I can stomach dinner or get through an enjoyable activity date with prospects.
Peacocking is an infamous tactic used by the red pill scrotes and pick up "artists" to attract women...
Boasting behavior in men for me screams "thirst trap" it's not attractive nor high value...if a guy wants to brag, then he better show it to me in action..meaning he courts me, allows me to enjoy his resources and wealth, spoiles me with gifts and money..etc...that's the only kind of "boasting" that I would allow...other than that it's just all talk and no walk.
I don’t know about the other ladies here, but when I get the impression that a guy is trying me get me interested in him by doing stuff like this and acting wealthy like it will Impress me I usually just act like it’s not a big deal or it’s a common thing. for example I was dating a guy who made pretty good money and he was bragging about that (which is so cringe) and I said to him ”that’s not much these days” and it really seemed to bother him. He was LV all around as I found out So I don’t feel too bad about that.
The fact that he keeps messaging you to let you know how his trip is or whatever is just wasting your time with texting. Don’t give him too much of your time and act busy … high value man will set up a date to see you for a high value dinner and not just a drink!!! I would drop him
FWIW the guy sounds nice. maybe do give him the benefit of doubt until he says something boastful. personally not a fan of peacocking unless i'm benefitting majorly in some way because men are all talk.
Mehhh I don't think sending you a video in business class is that bad. He might not fly business that often and was excited. I fly business often because of a perk of my job and I still like taking a picture when I get upgraded on long flights.
