"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Understood. Well look at it and see what the reason is.
Marriage does not equal monogamy. Marriage will not commit a woman to you. So if you are doing it for that reason, then you aren’t aware of the world.

If you do think that there will be team work and working together due to being married...it’s not true and your vision of marriage is slanted by social conditioning.

The only purpose of marriage, is for having children and raising them if you look at it in a traditional way.

The purpose of a man being married is for a woman to bear him children. Yet in modern think, he rarely owns them. Meaning that he is saddled with the responsibility (financial) but the woman retains ownership by default.

You might want to figure out “why” you want to be married and be honest with yourself about those reasons.
 

"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.

Menopause aint no joke. They get more controlling when the sexual function is reduced. I think control is used for pleasure. Many also cant even decide to please their man orally when the sex drive died with menopause. They see no use. So less agreeable, more testosterone, no sex drive and more controlling. God...

Theres no rush to marriage. You can put a ring on her finger if shes been a loyal and committed woman for some years but take your time in marriage. Theres no race. There are a few states with favorable divorce laws. Consider them. Are her friends married? Are they cheating? What about her parents? Does she spend money, time and energy on you? How does she add to your life?
Well said

Need a baby or don't need a baby?
 

"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.

Do you even lift bro?
Any of you who replied dating a chick under 25? if no then i wont care reading all the replies.
25 is a bit old. Not saying i won't do it. I sm saying hotter are turning 18 19 20 21. Another plate is 23. A few more in rotation.

I seriously don't bother with anything over 27 if not black out drunk and she's giving me a throater or the butt.

Women age like break and milk.

No, under no circumstances should you do that unless you atleast get a prenup.. But even then id not do it, if you do she has won, she "owns" you and thst is not good, if you dont the hamster will keep on running if you do there is no need for the hamster to run

If you plan on having kids, then yes, get married. If you guys have the same goals in life, then yes, get married. Before you do, make double triple sure that she feels "right" in your heart. By that I mean no red flags, she makes you and others around her smile and most importantly, she makes you a better person.
 

"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.

The stupid is strong in this OP...

Answer this - what does a man gain in marriage that he does not already have?

I'm 40 yo, financially stable, mastered game, and have a gf (31 yo). Should I marry her? Do not reply with irrelevant answers.
I am a newby on this. But have a larger age gap than you suggest and definitely over 35... and married for long.

Whatever is your power balance with the girl now, marriage will change it at least for the reason that it is harder to walk away. If your close in balance, marriage can swing the power a little to the girl and possible over you. If you mastered game, you already know what that will mean.

If your really strong and the balance is far in favor of you now, then its just a question of if it will be fun or more fun for you. If you want your own family, it is the way and now is the time. If that is something you want then that is what it is. There is nothing in the world like holding your own child. You would need to double down then, and become not just mastered, but super mastered... because it will get harder.
