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.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Yea, but they do ensure indentured servitude for some. LOL.Rings don’t plug holes
