Singer Chris Evans Kaweesi has shared an unusual dating strategy he says he learned from an elderly man, advising men to remain patient when rejected by women and try their luck again when they turn 45.

Speaking during an appearance on Cruz Xclusive, Chris Evans revealed that he was once advised to keep the contacts of women who turn down his romantic advances and wait until they reach the age of 45 before approaching them again.

According to him, the advice initially sounded unbelievable, but his experiences have since convinced him that there is some truth to it.

If I hit on you, let’s say you’re 30, I save your number and wait when you reach 45. They’ll become easier to get. At first, I didn’t believe it, but now I do. I have never hit on a woman and they don’t call me back when they clock 45.

Chris Evans further explained that he saves women’s contacts alongside their ages at the time he approaches them to help him keep track of how many years remain before they turn 45.

He also revealed that some women who eventually reach out to him receive a response, while others are ignored.

“I respond to some of them and others I let go,” he added.
