She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
We cant screw up our biology, and if we screw up our biology plus law and culture add an extra hit it becomes a pain in the ass of a life.
I fail to see why 40yrs old and older guys marry women their own age given the mental/emotional baggage they have, their unattractive body shape and the laws at work against them...
Even if they do for the "validation" I dont see whats the achievement to get spoiled goods losing value by the hour, if they do it for companionship or love then its even worse, its like drinking beer to heal from an hangover.
Decisions taken out of fear or to try to fit in are never good decisions.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Thats an extra reason to avoid getting married, when you basically offer no incentive for her to be loyal nor turn her on physically.most 40 year old guys look like complete garbage though to be fair
We like to think we will all be like Clooney and Pitt - 90% of guys at 40 are fat, bald and very lame
Speak from experience? I've heard the same from a lot of men. I thank G-d I do not have to deal with that.They both settled most likely. The guy thinks by marrying. Girl he’ll get sex on tap whenever he wants, but how wrong he truly is. The moment you give up your freedom and marry is the moment she has won and becomes complacent.
Most people live boring lives as they get older, 2 weeks vacation, go somewhere, come back to the daily grind. Where did the passion go, where’s the romance. Well work and monotony are to blame and complacency.
Most guys are getting to late 30’s early 40’s couple kids, overweight wife, tons of debt, and working their asses off for an ungrateful wife that doesn’t want your love or doesn’t give it back or she nags you about dishes and stupid ****ing chores. And you wonder why marriage is stressful.
A man and a woman create another person. Usually, that creates a bond with the child and their parents. That is why parents say they love their kids... Their blood. Their spouse is their partner, but not their blood. They would only be "family" by a legal decree, not by family bloodline. Whereas, an offspring is of family bloodline. Hence, usually unconditional love.every married person I talk to says marriage itself is miserable but kids are fantastic
why are so few people happily married?
In respect to this, some actually believed in love and wanting to make their partner happy. It's just amazing how a piece of paper changes everything.We cant screw up our biology, and if we screw up our biology plus law and culture add an extra hit it becomes a pain in the ass of a life.

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Yea, but they do ensure indentured servitude for some. LOL.Rings don’t plug holes
