"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

article: Do Women Need Marriage Anymore?

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Yep, during WWII they had to recruit women into the economy since most of the men were fighting. After the war, the women stayed there.

Personally, I'm thrilled with this vast societal change. I've never wanted to get married myself, and so the fact that women aren't as interested in it is music to my ears. This means they're more likely to f*ck without "commitment," and I'm not a committing type of guy.

I can't wait for the day when the roles are completely reversed. Men sitting home eating bon-bons on the couch while women slave away in dead-end jobs. I'm serious, I think that would be great.

The only way I'd marry is if it were some wealthy b*tch and I got to hang out by the pool all day and never work another day in my life. If you're going to bother hitching yourself to one chick for the rest of your life, you better hit a jackpot. Why else would you do it?

u will NEVER find a woman who gives you even 10% of the sort of freedom and money men give women/wives. it just aint IN them to be that generous to anyone but their kids, especially not an adult male, no matter HOW many billions of $ they are "worth".

Yup, I know it's come up pretty frequently of late, but traditional marriage was still a raw deal for men.

I remember a few years ago there was this rockabilly/hipster-chick I saw briefly. And she was selling herself to me as this horny hipster housewife. She had this vision of herself as a full-time housewife, doing all the housewifey things, i.e. cooking, cleaning, looking pretty for me, blowing me at the end of the day. She'd do a bit of seamstressing from home, but I'd basically be supporting both of us in this little fantasy. And I thought about this quite a bit, because no girl had ever offered me anything like that, but I decided that although novel, it was still a pretty sh!tty deal. I don't need anyone to do my housekeeping and cooking for me, and a FWB isn't going to cost me $30K/year. And that's assuming she was even capable of making good on any of this. No dice princess.


...Now it's coming back to me! She supposedly had some kind of chronic fatigue related "illness", so you can imagine how seriously I took her proposal. Did I mention she was still in and out of university at age 35? Now wonder she was trying to hook a breadwinner.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Hell we're on a fast track there now, it's not long now until you'll be getting your wish.
