Phone on a date

[Mr. SpockParticipant 10907]

I would walk out. No warning or nothing. Then once I got outside I’d text that the date sucked and that she needs to learn when it’s appropriate to use her phone. After that, turn off your phone and go have a beer somewhere.

Isn’t one warning sufficient?

Maybe your tolerance hasn’t been pushed to the limit on this topic yet, but to me it’s mentally sick to prefer interaction with a device over the company you’re in.

This morning (as a matter of fact) I met a neighbor on my way to the car. Out loud I said “damn I left my phone……. ” and thought about turning back ” …. ah forget it, I don’t need it:”. She heard me and said “omg I could never do that lol. ”

She needs it to breathe.

Yes. It really is that bad.

That’s good stuff there Doc very wise strategy indeed.

It’s f~~~ing rude to be speaking on a phone while involved in a social function unless there is a valid reason. I have a white list that shuts my phone up except for an elite few.

There are only a few explanations for this behavior. She is a self absorbed attention whore. She’s controlling orbiters. She does not give one flying f~~~ about you as a man. These are all possible and all mean punt this c~~~.

I recently had a very good buddy of mine do this to me during a dinner that I was paying for. We hadn’t seen each other in many months and we used to fly and work on airplanes a lot together over a period of two decades. I invited him out and we had barely ordered our meals when his cell phone started going off. We are both in our 50’s and I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing. I c~~~ed (misspelling intentional) the number of times he responded to text messages from his new girlfriend during our meal……………….41 times during a single hour! Conversation was impossible. I simply ate my meal in silence, paid the check and told him good night. Needless to say I won’t be buying him anymore meals after that episode. I’m not sure that we are even friends anymore until I receive an apology. This is rude juvenile behavior at its worst!

I sincerely believe that social media, cell phones, controlling bitches coupled with Islam are destroying the very social fabric of the United States. I have no need or desire for any of these things. All I require for happiness is a straight shooting rifle, sharp knife, a loyal hunting dog and lack of federal government intrusion into my life.

Exactly, I’m not just looking for an easy lay, I intend to qualify (or disqualify, more likely) a female before I let her get any closer to me than the next bar seat over. Now, if she says she’s on call at work or has a sick family member or something like that up-front, then so be it. I’ll give her the phone back when it rings and I know she’s either legit or really good at bulls~~~ting. But if she refuses to give up the phone, I can pretty much guess we’re not going anywhere,

If you’re paying, I believe you have the right to demand the other person’s undivided attention in return. If they don’t agree to this, let them pay their own way or leave.

[NotMyProblemParticipant 965]

Haven’t done the date thing in a while, but when I’m out with friends or family here’s what I do:

I make everyone put their phone at the end of the table.

First one that picks it up gets to pay the bill.

Not my property... Not my problem

[MalfunctionNeedInputParticipant 257]

I’m more vindictive, I’d spill my drink on her and pretend it was an accident…F~~~ her. Do something to ruin her phone time and evening since she is wasting your time.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. --Einstein

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

A lot of men are tied to their phones as well. They made the mistake of dealing with women or jobs that require constant contact and attention.

Ever get a phone call or text from work about something trivial that could have waited until the next day? Or multiple phone calls or texts from the wife or girlfriend so they can keep tabs on your whereabouts?

SImple solutions to both…….don’t own a smartphone and eliminate text as an option on your phone. No more 3 am texts from work with “reminders” on something they need done ASAP. No more useless texts from the girlfriend like “what ya doing”, “where have you been” etc.

A basic flip phone does wonders for limiting the amount of horses~~~ that enters your life. Most people are too lazy to actually talk to you on the phone so if the texts are gone you wont hear from them. Smart phone can be useful in the right situations but like most social media it opens up Pandora’s box on the levels of bulls~~~ you have to endure. Plus the smart phones are another bill each month that you don’t really need.

Yup.

Instant walk out.

Fuck this planet.

[rebelandboltmanParticipant 640]

Ask for the check from the server, pay for what YOU ordered, and leave. The purpose of a date is for two people to get together, spend time with each other and converse, not spend time on their phones. That is rude and disrespectful, and she should know better than that.

I used to work in the service industry and not a night went by where I did not see that s~~~.

I’d be perfectly justified in walking out on any and every woman who does that, but doesn’t that mean I’d be walking out on every woman, period? Woman eat with the phone on the table next to them, for f~~~’s sake.

Unfortunately, it does mean you will walk out on almost every date.
I have, dozens of times.
More importantly, think of the time and money you will have saved by doing so.

[MarkusPolusParticipant 163]

I would definitely try and sneak out without her noticing lol

She may throw a s~~~-fit, sure. But i have no issue telling a woman – “You’re being disrespectful. I don’t let people in to my life that act that way. Good night.” And then walk out.

Which is also why i don’t pay for dinners before i’ve f~~~ed a woman. You never know when the bitch is going to try to use you for a meal or drinks or whatever. Before f~~~ing her it’s only coffee dates or single rounds paid for in cash, just in case you have to punt her for being a disrespectful c~~~.

Better yet – have her meet you at an art gallery opening where you’re already going to be with friends. She’ll inevitably be late, so will have to pay her own cover charge or whatever. Meanwhile you’ll be inside with friends already having a good time, so it doesn’t matter if she’s a pain in the ass or not lol.

I routinely do this. If attending any event which requires a ticket, cover charge, or other entrance fee, I always tell her that I’ll meet her inside. She’s and adult so she’s paying in own way in.

The only exception to this is those rare occasions when I invite a woman to the event. Even then, however, if she’s more interested in her phone than whatever we came to see, I’m walking.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

[experiencedParticipant]

Pay the Maître D’ the full bill plus tip.
Leave. Unannounced.
She will TRY to……. “Oh that cheap………” “Oh that inconsiderate ……..”
Except for the fact that you have been good to everyone else.
Conclusion = You’re a great guy. You’ve got resources to spare. SHE BLEW IT!

Better to be in no relationship than in one wherein the LAYDEE doesn’t respect you.
The bare bones minimum is respect.

[FrederickTheGreatParticipant 235]

I haven’t walked out on a date because of this (I’m too g-damn nice), but I have refused to go on a second date with a woman who spent too much time texting and looking stuff up on her phone during the date. When I go on a date, I turn my phone off. It does not go back on until the date is over. I expect the same courtesy. Of course, expecting courtesy and/or reciprocation from a modern woman is asking for one’s expectations to be dashed.

[mgtow_85Participant 752]

I dated a girl once several times. She was usually pretty good about not having her phone out. Until the 8th date almost six weeks in our relationship.
She takes her phone out and begins texting on it while we waited for our order. I asked politely, “Forgot something at home or something?”
She said, “No, I’m just texting my fiancée.”
The fiancée that I had NO idea until that point that she had.
I said, “F~~~ this s~~~. I’m out of here.”
A woman texting in the middle of a date is disrespectful, no f~~~ing doubt. But when she’s doing it to text a fiancée that she had kept secret from you is another. I will not be the second guy in some cheating game that a woman wants to play just because “oh, he doesn’t OWN me anyway, so I can do whatever I want.”
Yes, that was her excuse. And yet, she was the one screaming at my retreating back that I “can’t commit to her”. She barraged me with texts for three days. I told her to go to hell. After that, silence.
