"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.

Are Disney "princess" movies sexist because the woman is so young & inexperienced?

Evidently, it is a sexist message for girls to aspire to marry their Prince Charming without playing the field first!

“What’s most troubling is just how little life experience they’ve had. They’re so naïve to the ways of the world. Most of them have never even met a boy, much less dated one before they fall in love and marry their prince,” blogger Julie Sprankles wrote in a post called “Things only adults notice in Disney princess movies.”

“You never realize the issues inherent with this until you watch when you’re older, at which point you’re like, where’s the fire, ladies? You have your whole life to get hitched!” she added.
my opinion: :down:

EDIT: And here are drawings of such princesses with "appropriate" waistlines:

"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.

When I was younger, women complained about the "princess" fantasy because it taught women to be dependent on a man.

Now apparently they are complaining because the princess doesn't ride the c0ck carousel first.

I think bypassing learning all the bad behaviors of the world makes for a marriage that can last but who knows?

A lot of the marriages I know that have stayed together a long time are couples that started dating in high school and have never dated anyone else.

Yep those where my good relationships. My college wife and my young adult wife. Everyone that's been out in the world sucked in comparison, too selfish, too many bad behaviors, too much game required. People get battle scarred, hardened and jaded.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Yep it's just a vicious circle. One that nobody can agree about the beginning on, and no one can predict when it might end.
