"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.

A Billionaire but still a Beta Chump

When Elon Musk split up with wife, Talulah Riley, for the first time, he told the whole world.

"It was an amazing four years. I will love you forever," the entrepreneur Tweeted to the British actress in January 2012. "You will make someone very happy one day."

I suppose a 19 million settlement 2nd time round is still chump change to this billionaire -- but this little known actress played it smart. Only got $4m first divorce, so married and divorced again for a pay rise.
 

"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.

No Musk fan, but what we don't see here are the NDAs involved and other possible covenants which prevent her from selling all kind of scoop to tabloids and the like or writing a memoir, maybe for even more than 17 million over time. 5% interest on a billion is $50,000,000 a year, so he's paying her a pittance to keep her mouth shut in all likelihood. Well worth it from a PR standpoint for someone with those assets and a public company that could lose more than 17 million of market cap in an hour if certain disclosures were made about personal life or a scandal erupted. No idea whether he's a beta chump or not, but this settlement doesn't speak to that at all.

Man this system pisses me off. How someone can just spread their legs and come away with a million dollars WHILE at the same time, they can collectively run around still bashing men, saying they are being oppressed, saying they don't earn as much as men, saying men are deadbeats, etc., etc.

And folks have the nerve to say, "Tenacity, getting married isn't all that bad..." Pffftttttt lol.

Him marrying the same woman for a second time certainly does...
 

"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.

sigh....what a dude!
Funny thing is, the guy is a billionaire, in his early 40's, looks younger than his age, in good physical shape...and he couldn't do better than some average-looking, third rate "actress". How sad. If you must marry a gold-digger, marry a hot one at least.

The guy is a genius; one of those people that can mentally sit above above the system, take it for what it's worth and use to his advantage. He has billions at stake and needs to keep her happy and I imagine he was cringing when he wrote it
