"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

My guess is this invention had the single greatest impact on Intersexual relations. In the US, it was approved by the FDA in 1960, and then everything else like no fault divorce, Abortion Laws, Child Custody Laws, Welfare Laws, Fiat Currency, Credit extension to unmarried women, declining marriage and birth rates all happened afterwards.

I'm sure there are other factors, but I believe that had the largest single impact on Male-Female relations until the Internet came along. And the Internet is a whole other story.
 

"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.

One major impact of hormonal BC is that it makes women prefer more feminine guys. Hormonal BC basically works by tricking the body into thinking it's pregnant. It's well known that preggo women want those soft/safe "provider" type men to take care of their kids, they are NOT into masculine guys. The implications of this are pretty far reaching when you examine it, and there are many stories you can find about women who got on/off BC and found their BF/husband unattractive. Although I don't think this is an exact science or anything, and is probably individualistc, but on the whole I find it fascinating.

As I've gotten older, i've noticed that the majority of women I bang are not on hormonal BC, which to me indicates I am attracting the right type of women, which is encouraging.

It's interesting because I've never paid attention to it with a girl I'm seeing, but I've read about it a lot and basically came to the same conclusions you did. It's something I'm going to start paying attention to more often with other girls I see.

The implications of this are quite far-reaching when you look into it; there are plenty of stories out there about women who went on or off birth control and found their boyfriend/husband unattractive. While I don't think it's an exact science—and it likely varies from person to person—I find the whole thing fascinating.



I've noticed that most of the women I sleep with aren't on hormonal birth control, which suggests to me that I'm attracting the right kind of women—and that's encouraging.


A female friend of mine went off birth control because she and her boyfriend were trying for their second child.
At that point, she developed an uncontrollable sex drive, she turned into a nymphomaniac, but the one person she *didn't* want was her boyfriend. She was actually attracted to big, muscular guys.
Luckily, he managed to get her pregnant; after the baby was born, she went back on birth control, and now it's total love again. But my friend told me that the sex they were having before it's nothing compared to what they have now.

Her boyfriend is very effeminate, a real teddy bear, but he turned into an angry snake when she wasn't on hormonal birth control, since He had to manage her because she was so crazy.

It's exactly as you say, Flexpert.
In this case, though, with birth control on, it means the woman is less likely to cheat, so the relationship might be more successful.

That said, I do believe there are specific moments when, ,even while on birth control, a woman might still feel the urge to mate with a more masculine guy.
My hypothesis is that this invention had the greatest impact on inter-gender relationships. In the United States, it was approved by the FDA in 1960, and then everything else—such as no-fault divorce, abortion laws, child custody laws, welfare laws, fiat currency, the extension of credit to unmarried women, and the decline in marriage and birth rates—followed afterwards.
As I understand it, history and experience suggest the opposite: birth control actually allows women to stay longer in relationships with partners they don't truly want.
