"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.

This just sounds like a situation of friends with benefits, and swingers. This chick might very well be great to hang around with, and as long as she puts out periodically to each of her men, they are happy with it. Obviously these men are not interested in having a family, so they do not have to worry about "mother's baby, father's maybe."

Oh, and these folks are all from the theatre community. We all know how uninhibited those folks are.
 

"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.

Yeah there's something wrong about the article..but not the concept.

How would you feel if I was to say I was Terisa's lover and I told her outright that I would have my own harem and she agreed? Basically we each had our own sexually rich lives? That's an academic question only, something I'm posing to make you guys think. It's not reality :cry:

Point is, polyamory is nothing new nor is it specifically gender-based.

It's called an open relationship and a few guys can swing it. Just cause chicks can practice it easily is no reason to resent it.

It's just that women nowadays feel they can be more vocal about their animal natures. Remember when a chick could never admit she loved sex???

This is probably more of a publicity stunt or theatre experiment than it is a relationship choice.

It is impossible to remove jealousy from this equation. Women are, at heart, serially monogamous, and they don't like sharing. I would even bet that most guys, despite their words to the contrary, would not feel good about such an arrangement.

The statement that "Women would rather share a successful man than have a loser all to themselves" is a half-truth. The reason women agree to "sharing" a successful man is because they believe they can ultimately secure him for themselves. The "sharing" is just a means to an end.
