If you’re a man stepping back into dating after a divorce or long relationship, chances are you’ve tried the apps. You signed up, created a profile, maybe even paid for a subscription. You sent messages, only to get silence in return—or worse, attention from women you weren’t even interested in. After weeks or months, it starts to feel like dating passed you by.
You’re not wrong to feel that way. Nearly 70 percent of new relationships begin online, but apps are not designed for men to win. They’re built to keep you swiping, not to get you results. That’s why so many divorced men tell me they feel invisible. The problem isn’t you. The problem is the game you’re playing.
That’s why I created No Cold Approach in The Cow Pasture—a dating course designed specifically to give men control again. It’s not about becoming someone you’re not, and it’s not about endless swiping. It’s about learning a skill set that allows you to meet and attract women directly through social media, without relying on apps that treat men like expendable numbers in a rigged system.
Why Apps Fail Men Over 40
Let’s get real. Dating apps favor the youngest, flashiest profiles. A man over 40 can upload great photos and still get buried beneath thousands of competitors. Women swipe based on superficial impressions and rarely reply to men unless something stands out instantly.
I worked with a client named Richard who had been divorced after 18 years. He spent six months on dating apps and only got three replies—none of them from women he actually wanted to meet. He thought the problem was his age. But once he applied the methods in No Cold Approach in The Cow Pasture, everything changed. Instead of waiting for matches that never came, he was messaging women directly on Instagram and Facebook, creating real conversations that led to real dates.
Why Social Media Works Better Than Apps
Apps lock you into a controlled environment. Social media is open terrain. On Instagram and Facebook, you’re not competing with a hundred men swiping on the same profile. You’re positioning yourself in a way that naturally draws the right women in.
Another client, Daniel, was 42 when he took the course. He told me he always hated the “meat market” feeling of apps. Within three weeks of applying the system, he met two women through Instagram who both admitted they normally ignore dating apps because they’re tired of the nonsense there. Daniel didn’t need to spend hours swiping—he simply followed the messaging framework from the course, and women responded because it felt natural, not forced.
The Skill Gap Most Men Ignore
Here’s the truth: men who struggle with dating after divorce don’t lack attractiveness, charisma, or value. They lack modern skills for connecting online. Twenty years ago, you could meet women at work, through friends, or out in public without competing with a thousand profiles. Today, if you don’t know how to communicate online, you’re playing from behind.
The good news? Communication is a skill. And like any skill, it can be learned. That’s why I built No Cold Approach in The Cow Pasture—to close that gap for men who are tired of feeling invisible.
Real Stories From Men Who Made It Work
Take Scott, who had been divorced for five years and was ready to start dating again. He told me he was frustrated because women on apps never replied. Inside the course, he learned how to build a simple online presence that actually attracted women to him. Within a month, he had three dates lined up—all with women who were excited to meet him.
Or Michael, who had been out of the dating world for over two decades. He admitted he didn’t even know how to message women without sounding awkward. The messaging strategy from the course gave him confidence. Within weeks, he went from ghosted conversations to playful, fun exchanges that naturally led to meetups.
Taking Back Control of Your Dating Life
The biggest mistake men make is assuming the dating market is broken. It’s not broken—it just requires new skills. Apps put the power in women’s hands and keep men waiting for a match that might never come. Social media puts control back in your hands, if you know how to use it.
That’s what No Cold Approach in The Cow Pasture teaches you:
How to reach women directly on social media without awkward small talk.
How to send messages that actually get responses and lead to dates.
How to build a simple online presence that makes women curious about you.
How to move from message to meet-up naturally, without games.
This isn’t about memorizing lines or pretending to be someone you’re not. It’s about developing the exact skill set you need to succeed in today’s dating world.
Stop Waiting, Start Choosing
One of the most common things I hear from men after divorce is, “I just don’t want to waste time anymore.” They’re tired of profiles that ghost them, women they aren’t attracted to, or endless conversations that go nowhere.
That’s why the heart of my course is about flipping the script. Instead of competing for women who aren’t even serious, you start choosing the women who are interested, available, and eager to meet. You’re no longer chasing after scraps on dating apps—you’re taking control of who you give your attention to.
