She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life 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.
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.
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.

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
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. .
