Why Online Dating is Not the Winning Strategy You Think It Is

Let’s talk about a question I get all the time: How do I approach online dating when women have so many options? I get it—this is where a lot of men feel stuck. But I’m going to tell you something that might flip your thinking: the best way to win at online dating is to not play the game at all.

Why Online Dating is a Herd Mentality Trap

Imagine a herd of cattle all stampeding in one direction. They’re all following the crowd, thinking that’s the way to go—until they all fall off a cliff. That’s what online dating is for most men. Everyone’s trying to use it, thinking it’s the easiest way to meet women, but they’re all heading straight for frustration. Why? Because in that space, women are overloaded with options.

She’s swiping through profiles of guys who are taller, richer, and more photogenic than 99% of the population. Even the “perfect” guys—ripped, wealthy, and adventurous—start to blur together. Women don’t even need to go out on dates. They can stay home, bask in the validation from their phones, and never feel the need to pick anyone.

The Secret Sauce: Go Against the Grain

Here’s the truth: attraction isn’t about standing out online. It’s about sparking emotion in real life. Women don’t fall in love with pictures or texts—they fall in love with the energy and leadership of a real man. And that’s where you have the upper hand.

Women are led by their emotions, not logic. They don’t necessarily fall for the “perfect” guy; they fall for the one who makes them feel. That’s the guy who’s confident, playful, and knows how to lead. And none of that translates through a dating app.

So what’s the solution? Skip the apps and learn how to meet women face-to-face. It’s harder, yes—but that’s why it works. Most men avoid this because they’re scared of rejection. But that fear is what’s holding you back from real success.

How to Stand Out in Real Life

Here’s a quick tip: become a man who’s different because of how you think and act—not just how you look. While the average guy is fumbling through awkward opening lines, you can show up and lead the interaction with confidence.

For example, if you’re at a party, you could walk up to a group and say something bold like, “Why are you cheating on me? I want my ring back!” It’s playful and disarms people immediately. Or tell a funny, real-life story that makes you stand out. Women love energy, humor, and unpredictability—traits no dating app can capture.

Shift Your Focus

Most men use online dating as a shield against rejection. But rejection is where growth happens. Instead of asking, “How do I win at online dating?” start asking, “How can I become the kind of man who doesn’t need online dating?”

The key isn’t to chase women—it’s to become the kind of man women chase. That means working on your confidence, your purpose, and your ability to lead in every situation.

Remember, you attract what you are. Work on your internal value, and you’ll attract the right kind of woman into your life.

You are not a victim. You are a Headman.
