article: The perfect man exists. He’s called a ‘book boyfriend.’

“When we read a romance book, and the main character is a billionaire who takes a woman on a date and flies her to France, we know that’s not real,” she said. “We don’t care that he’s a billionaire or that he buys her jewelry. We care that he remembered she doesn’t like pickles in her sandwich, and he takes her coffee to bed. It’s the little thoughtful things that really stick with us.”

It's OVER for LooseleafCels.

Romance books are fiction. Perfect men are fictional.

The men with the best looks will get their pussies wet. They will have sex. It might not be committed sex.

The idea is to make her feel like she's in a romance book when she's with you.

Yesterday, we were talking with friends about how most of the LTR in our social circle have ended.

By “long-term,” we meant those where the man was more mature, calm, and assertive, the kind of guy who, when she crossed a line, handled it the way described on SoSuave.

Interestingly, the relationships that have lasted the longest, what some would call “successful”, tend to be dysfunctional. We noticed that in these cases, the man often tolerates a lot of drama. Many of these relationships are still standing because the husbands or boyfriends have repeatedly put up with emotional outbursts or blatant disrespect, rather than walking away.


We live in an increasingly individualistic world where personal growth and independence are emphasized. So sure, a little common sense and a willingness to compromise go a long way. Relationships require effort and sacrifices on both sides. But there’s a line, and sometimes, enough is enough.



Why do some men call their relationships “successful” just because they’ve lasted a long time, even if they’ve had to tolerate so much? Why don’t they just leave?

I agree with this. Spike her emotions and give her the feelings she's seeking.

Even if from a relationship standpoint it would cause instability?

Let's say she wants to complain and you give her fuel to light her fire?
Then you're not there to enjoy the relationship, or her company, but just the fact that she "feels good".

So let's focus on what she needs to feel, rather than what you want as a man, which is peace.

It's called "perspective", hoss... Similar to Bush II and his lackeys continuing to assert that our adventure in Iraq was going along swimmingly, until that other Hussein in The Oval Office aborted the party. One person's view of "the truth" is, more often than not, anything but the entire story

Yeah, same way men go harder than granite when imagining a woman with Dangerfiled-level wit, yet think nothing of her bust size, beautiful face, and heart-shaped derriere
