"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.

According to studies and data by a professor of behaviour science in London, “if you’re a man, you should probably get MARRIED, if you’re a woman, don’t bother.”


Is the studies and empirical data by the University professor in London wrong? Do sosuave members know better?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Most studies are "wrong," in that they can be rigged to say whatever you want them to say. Goal seeked.

Nobody has any clue how to define happiness, let alone measure it in an academic study in any way that can lead to meaningful conclusions.

Just another signaling lefty prof looking for grant money. He's just telling academia what they want to hear.

Men bad, women good.

Men need women, women no need men.

Yeah but if she can leave and divorce anytime after then what does marriage mean?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Being happily married may have advantages to being single but how many truly happily married men do you know? For everyone else being single is much better than a toxic marriage.

More propaganda from academia. Some chump with letters after his name being touted as another expert.

With all these experts we should be rolling in happiness by now.

So signing up for losing 50% of everything should be a man's goal? What real difference is there between being with a woman long term exclusively and living together versus being married?

The extraction of resources.

If it said:

“Studies show women desperately want to be virgins before they are married and want to be tied to one man for the rest of their lives, while men are too rock and roll to be tied down.”

Would it be rigged too?

No. It would be a lie.

Most of the article is about the benefits of being single for people in general rather just women and so it is hardly pro marriage for either.
“Married people are happier than other population subgroups, but only when their spouse is in the room when they’re asked how happy they are,” he said. “When the spouse is not present: f***ing miserable.”

His argument for men getting married is also rather weird. Supposedly, it involves LESS risk:
Men benefited from marriage because they “calmed down”, he said. “You take less risks, you earn more money at work, and you live a little longer. She, on the other hand, has to put up with that, and dies sooner than if she never married. The healthiest and happiest population subgroup are women who never married or had children,” he said.

However, Dolan said men showed more health benefits from tying the knot, as they took fewer risks.
