Giving someone up to 8 hours on the dating swipe apps to respond after the initial match or after the last written conversation. If they aren't interested in you enough to contact you within 8 hours, then they won't be after.

Depending on the time of day, the 8 hours is to allow for a workday if they are at work and can't respond back or aren't allowed to have their phones with them. It also allows for sleeping. After 8 hours with no response, they get deleted.
In my dating profile: “Swipe right to meet someone fun and active. Looking to find someone with similar interests. Just want to let you know that I use the 'Rule of 8' with my matches. Hope to hear from you.”

The rule of 8 

The rules you must follow if you are a guy to become a male porn star.
THE RULE OF 8
You must be able to go, with out blowing your load, for 88 minutes (average of 6 times longer than a normal session)

You must live in the 831 area code (not sure really, but Northern Hollywood...so around there)

You must be at least 8 inches....that gets most guys caught lying through their teeth (length is important, if it's too small, you can't see it on camera)

hello mam by rule 86 of the man code I must ask to see your breasts

Rule 86 Paragraph 4 of the Man Code 

Rule 86 Paragraph 4 of the Man Code states, "If an adequately attractive female is within your presence, you are obligated to ask to view said female's breasts."
"Hello Miss. By Rule 86 Paragraph 4 of the Man Code, you are adequately attractive, and as such, may I view your breasts?"
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
