"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

We sometimes talk about women who are high maintenance. These are usually women who have self-esteem issues, and need to have their egos stroked constantly.

However, the other day I asked myself, "Am I a high maintenance guy?" I'd have to say that the answer is YES. If a woman isn't keeping me happy but is making me miserable and becomes sexually unsatisfying, I'll have the desire to move onto something else. I cannot be with a woman for the sole purpose of companionship. She needs to be a positive addition to my life, or she's not worth keeping around.

Your thoughts?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

It sounds like you stole this thought from somebody and put the classic "I had a thought" commitment behind it.

ie, high maintenance costs...

Yes, DonJuans are high maintenance, but the output comes before anybody gives you any input. Unless you are not a Don of course... than the input comes first, and you respond...

ie, supplication

My penis is VERY high-maintenance. Fortunately the job seems to be very fulfilling for those who are lucky enough to secure the post.

It's a good question, and compared to many AFCs, a DJ might prove a challenge - but as we know, most women want that.

Ultimately I think the phrase 'high-maintenance' is so weighted with the connotations of a male owner and female possession that it doesn't reverse-translate, but in general alpha males expect and are gladly given the respect, attention and financial incentives that they deserve.

Though I do see plenty of women happy with the safe, easily dominated types. Perhaps they do indeed consider a higher status male too 'high maintenance' (and prefer to wear the pants). But I reckon it's the average looking women that is most guilty of this. The uber-hotties are yearning for a real man to 'maintain'.

Yep, we're pretty high-maintainence. Demanding, selfish, and arrogant. That's why we don't get along with high-maintainence women :D

Maybe you said it jokingly, but I think you're so damned right.

Great question Desdinova, hadn't thought about it.
 

"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.
