"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

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:

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.
 

"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.

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.
