"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

A very common situation I found on a relationship site.

I'm M35 and my wife is F31, and we've been having some issues lately. We have two kids, and I work long hours, usually 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday. We usually spend Saturday afternoons together as a family, and I try to make sure we have at least one date night a month, just the two of us. On Sundays I manage a golf team, so I'm out from about 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For the past year, my wife has been complaining (mostly to her female friends) that I never make plans, that everything is on her, and that I just go along with things without really caring. She makes it sound like I'm disengaged. Also, she is upset at me. Sometimes I get a Sunday off and I take her with me when I can, but it still feels like she doesn't believe I'm putting in effort. Now she's planning a weekend trip for us. I told her I don't think we really need another trip since we went on one six months ago. She still wants to go, and she's planning to take her mother and the kids. I told her she can go if she wants, but I also said again that I don't think this trip is necessary. I'm actually doing good as a man, but I don't know why her behavior is something like this

He is very much a provider, she has his lifestyle provided, but at the same time she disdains his commitment.

He is doing well, he is a busy man, but in my opinion he spends too little time with his family.
Your thoughts
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

The most consistent complaint I've gotten from women is that I work too much. They women I've been with are constantly trying to get me to Call Out of work. So. This guy works way more than I do. And then add his Sunday golf. He is heading for disaster. None of the women I've been with would tolerate a Saturday afternoon a week, one date night a month.

44 or so hours/week work. But. I was/am able to see them after work and on weekends most of the time. I certainly can understand their point. But. I have responsibility to work and they rely on me.

Wonder if the ol'ball'n'chain sees him EXCLUSIVELY as such, and as a lover secondairly, if at all. If so, and that's been her mindset from the get-go, he may be in a bind that's irreparable
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

When a man does his job in the bedroom, wifey doesn't need a "date night". :rolleyes:

Unless a dude is planning to follow Brian Walshe's example https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/18/us/brian-walshe-murder-charge-arraignment-ana-walshe-wednesday , the missus is going to require wining and dining every now and then. Don't get hitched, if you're opposed to such activity, hoss:

THAT makes less sense than becoming a junior high guidance counselor, DESPITE possessing an intense aversion to cutting pudgy Gundam Wing aficiandos down from the boy's room ceiling, after these fellas have spent one too many nights penning fanfiction, instead of getting inside the prom queen's panties
