"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hi gentlemen
I have just turned 52 and my 45.5 year old Asian girlfriend wants to have a baby. We live together. She had two miscarriages when she was married 8 years ago...and is childless. She was devastated and still wants a kid (marriage ended as he cheated).

I feel if I dont, the relationship might not last. She may a) subconsciously resent me for all time or b) subconsciously seek a man who will, while being with me. I dont think she will consciously do a or b as she is very Christian with clear morals but she is also a human ...so subconsciously she may.

If I have a kid I will be about 71 when the child is 18.

What are your thoughts please?
 

"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.

Let her go. Everyone else here will say the same thing.
 

"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.

Yeah, she's probably got like half a dozen eggs left at that age. I often
see this on Bumble, rough looking, post wall women 45+ who have selected
'haven't decided yet' on the children category. I think Mother Nature may have
made that decision for you my dear, in more ways than one.

Definitely do Amniocentesis and discuss it before knocking her up, if she’s not preggo in a month get ready shell out 10k plus for invitro.


I'm in my late 30's now, and I still want to have kids. My concern is that your girlfriend is 45.

Are you talking about me or OP?
 

"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.

Whoever is thinking about knocking up a woman that’s 35+
I think I'm still pretty potent. On my father's side of my family I have cousins in their late 40's knocking up women.

Amniocentesis is about making sure that the developing fetus does not have any genetic disorders and being able to terminate the pregnancy if you choose to or prepare for the arrival of a special needs child.

This is a REQUIREMENT for 35+ maternal age, as the reality is that the incidence of problems like this goes through the roof at that point.

Oh I don't touch women over the age of 27 with a nine foot pole.

While I’m not against having kids at any age, never have kids just to save a relationship. Because if and when that relationship ends, the poor kid will get some of your resentment. It’s fvcked up
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

She is too old. Already had two miscarriages, if she gets pregnant this will likely end in devastation as well or the kid will be retarded. It's high risk.

If all you are is a baby maker for her, then I guess you can find out for sure.

I had one that wanted marriage from me. I knew it was to secure resources. I told her to hit the road. No big deal. You can always get more women.
