"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Are Disney "princess" movies sexist because the woman is so young & inexperienced?

Evidently, it is a sexist message for girls to aspire to marry their Prince Charming without playing the field first!

“What’s most troubling is just how little life experience they’ve had. They’re so naïve to the ways of the world. Most of them have never even met a boy, much less dated one before they fall in love and marry their prince,” blogger Julie Sprankles wrote in a post called “Things only adults notice in Disney princess movies.”

“You never realize the issues inherent with this until you watch when you’re older, at which point you’re like, where’s the fire, ladies? You have your whole life to get hitched!” she added.
my opinion: :down:

EDIT: And here are drawings of such princesses with "appropriate" waistlines:

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

When I was younger, women complained about the "princess" fantasy because it taught women to be dependent on a man.

Now apparently they are complaining because the princess doesn't ride the c0ck carousel first.

I think bypassing learning all the bad behaviors of the world makes for a marriage that can last but who knows?

A lot of the marriages I know that have stayed together a long time are couples that started dating in high school and have never dated anyone else.

Yep those where my good relationships. My college wife and my young adult wife. Everyone that's been out in the world sucked in comparison, too selfish, too many bad behaviors, too much game required. People get battle scarred, hardened and jaded.

Yep it's just a vicious circle. One that nobody can agree about the beginning on, and no one can predict when it might end.
