"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Is it "entitlement culture" for a man to expect to get his sexual needs fulfilled?

I was reading this article about the notorious Elliot Rodger, and it got me interested:

... we live in an entitlement culture where guys think they need to be having sex with girls in order to be happy and fulfilled. That in a culture that constantly celebrates the narrative of guys trying hard, overcoming challenges, concocting clever ruses and automatically getting a woman thrown at them as a prize as a result, there will always be some guy who crosses the line into committing a violent crime to get what he “deserves,” or get vengeance for being denied it.
What did Elliot Rodger need? He didn’t need to get laid. None of us nerdy frustrated guys need to get laid. When I was an ******* with rants full of self-pity and entitlement, getting laid would not have helped me.

He needed to grow up.

We all do.
My opinion: The author seems to think that a man that is destined to be incel should just meekly accept it; it's a good thing that our agnatic ancestors didn't have this attitude ...
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yes, if you don't try to understand what women want and how to give it to them, yet still expect them to f@rk you, that is entitlement.

However, the whole "none of us need to get laid" attitude is quite defeatist. That only works if you are asexual or have a very low sex drive.

To "Expect it"? No guy should ever "expect it". That has the connotation that they sit around, put no work into it and expect a handout like they are on welfare. If that is what they are doing they shouldn't expect jack sh!t.

You Get Out of it what you put into it, bottom line. Guys who go on a lot of dates and actively work on bettering themselves both with women, on dates, in the gym and with themselves will have much higher success rates than those who don't. As it should be. Ambition gets you far in all aspects of life.

Just as much as women over 30 feel entitled to marriage.
