"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Silly analogy. Having married parents is a lot more meaningful to a child’s life than choice of breakfast.
Meaningful is a statement of comparison, they only have their peers to compare to anyways and that's always gonna be a "Grass is greener".

Lots of people successfully raise children out of wedlock, I'm sure many don't as well, also let's not pretend the divorce rate is under 50% or something. Even when people say "We stay married for the kids" that describes a *change in circumstance* something that would never happen in the first place, I view a change in circumstance as more impactful than not, obviously outright father absence is incredibly harmful but that's not what we're even talking about.

Even if you are married, you go to work, kids have schedules, some parents are married and don't even see their kids much in the first place. This has so much more to do with the individual than some legal status.
 

"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.

You are arguing for an exception for the norm. Children generally do better coming from a nuclear family, with both parents married under the same roof. It’s just statistical fact. You can find exceptions, but it still doesn’t change the fact.

And you are trying to argue that parents don’t have to be married. Unfortunately, children know the truth. Daddy doesn’t think mommy is good enough to be a wife. And good luck finding a decent woman to play house with, have your kids, and accept you not marrying her. If I had a daughter I’d advise her to not have his baby nor to shack up. That’s trash tbh.

Finally caught the rest of the video. Impressed! In the last 10 minutes of the video or so, he did indicate that there were some divorced women out there that would be considered good catches as divorced, single moms but also acknowledged that a lot of men see divorced, single moms as damaged goods.

To answer the question whether to marry or not, let's ask ourself how many successful men out there achieved that success without being married along the way

Business
Sports
Entertainment
Consult the wealthiest men list and find out how many people achieved that while being unmarried

The wise always ponder on whatever they hear and see.

"If you want to go fast go alone, but if you want to go far, go together" Think about that before you jump to conclusions.

Moreover if you believe everything you hear or read, then you better don't shut yourself out of media."

Go sit with any person above 70yrs and learn life's wisdom.
They will never tell you not to marry. They will always say "Choose wisely".

Read this as "If you believe everything you read or hear then you better shut the media out of your life"
 

"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.
