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.
Well I know it's not about money. She told me he bounced a very small check when they were together. It's not about personality. She told me he's super jealous and cries about getting back together. I think it's just attraction...a combination of social status, looks ect.betterthandead said:A 27 year old with a 47 year old, age probably isn't a number for some of you guys but I think there's more to this than what you may see.
Sometimes people get into relationships because of not so honest reasons. Hey, not to dump cold water for you old guys but if you think pulling a gal 15-20 years younger is something to be proud of, go talk to Paul McCartney and ask him the price it cost him when he married/divorced that much younger one legged woman.
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.
I fail to see the link between the age difference and how badly he got screwed.betterthandead said:Sometimes people get into relationships because of not so honest reasons.

All discussion about age differences aside, the point I'd like to make is:the girl I was involved with gave me the old speech about "I still have feelings for my ex and I think we might try to work things out".
Well guess what? She is 27 and he is 47! And here she's choosing him over me and I am much closer to her age.
Very true. As we've discussed in the other thread.Mr. Me said:All discussion about age differences aside, the point I'd like to make is:
Her reason for dumping you is probably BS in the first place.
Yes, you are right. All relaitonships with 15-20 year age difference end up like this. Just ask John McCain for example, the fellow married a wife 18 years younger than him. 30 years and numerous kids later she is still with him. Even though she is an heiress and makes millions a year, I bet she married him so she could steal his pathetic pension checks every month, what a money grabbing b1tch!betterthandead said:A 27 year old with a 47 year old, age probably isn't a number for some of you guys but I think there's more to this than what you may see.

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.
True as this may be, it is to the man's benefit to marry a woman as young as is feasible. Of course, she has to be ready for marriage, mentally stable etc..etc.. But, a man can only benefit from marrying much younger. If there are any negatives, they are for the woman, possibly. So, it is upto the man to overcome any objections and mate with much younger women.persistent exaction said:Age is not important to this particular woman, because for her a man is just a source of attention and adoration. But age Is very important to most of the women out there you'll be meeting. For these women, the magnitude of this age difference is a Deal breaker. .
