Day 10 – How to Make That Man Invest in You (Not the Taken One, That’s a No-No!)

Alright, ladies, let's cut to the chase—finding a man who actually invests in you (time, effort, maybe even a pub meal) is harder than spotting a tradie with a full set of tools. But don’t worry, I’ve got three ripper tips to help you lock in a good one—not Todd from Tinder who still lives with his mum and calls himself an “entrepreneur” because he once sold a second-hand jet ski.
1. Stop Being an All-You-Can-Eat Buffet
You’re not an all-day meal deal at the servo. If you give him everything upfront (your time, energy, emotional support, homemade lasagna), why would he invest? Make him work for it! A little mystery goes a long way. Leave him guessing—like a Bunnings snag with no onions.
2. Set the Standard, Not the Discount Rack
Men are like puppies—train them early, or they’ll chew up your emotional bandwidth. If he wants to see you, he makes the plan. No “U up?” texts at 11:47 pm. No “Let’s chill” as a date idea. You want dinner, not a Netflix password share. Make sure he knows you’re the prize, not just another participant in his dating app Olympics.
3. The “Networking” Approach (AKA, Leave the House!)
Look, dating apps are a jungle, and you’re more likely to find a Todd than a Tom Hardy. If you actually want to meet a quality bloke, do it the old-school way—get out there! Go where good men roam: charity events, community sports, Bunnings on a Sunday. Say hello, flash a smile, ask for help picking out a hammer (even if you don’t need one). Networking isn’t just for LinkedIn—it’s for locking in the right man too.
💡 Final Thoughts:Dating apps are full of low-effort kings who’ve mastered the art of breadcrumbing. Don't settle for a Todd when you can attract a real man. Set your standards, be a little unavailable, and for the love of all things holy—put the phone down and go outside.
