"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.

Lately..

I have 3 kids half the time. Don't get me wrong, I love being dad.


But it seems my having 3 kids is a big turnoff. 2 is ok but 3 is not. I'm certainly admired by women but am also written off.


I have a single, no kids, beautiful realtor that comes over, drinks, paints my house until 2a sometimes when my kids aren't here and I'm supposed to be banging her? I mean, ya.. but I've read her behavior and some just aren't into me and I can't be into them.


I see the head turns. I went to a dance meeting Saturday for my daughter because it was my day and The ratio was about 30 hot moms to just myself as the male. They are also with their kids but they are checking me out. Watching them try not to look at me was amusing.


But What do you do?


Not only that but when you eventually sleep with them, emotional investment becomes inevitable. Would you agree?


With emotion investment then comes the potential for loss. Which, for me, amounts to residual emotional feeling of pain and worse yet, distraction. How do you handle this?


Lastly, do you believe all hope is lost for having a passionate LTR in today's marketplace?
 

"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.

Kids make things tough, but give you freedom from women. If they ask, you are "busy" those nights. What are your goals? What do you want?

If you're too afraid to fail again, then you'll never learn how to be successful in everything.

Making relationships with new people is all about investment. It's up to you how much you want to invest in them. To invest is to accept any risk that comes with it. If you don't want to take any risk, then don't invest. It's your own life after all.

"The best way to find the women of your dreams is to become the man of your dreams."
~ Mr. Fingers @sosuave.net

Who you are inside will attract what kind of women who will be attracted to you. Like attracts like. Have you become the man of your dreams? If not, now is the right time to start becoming that man.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

giving up is easy, succeeding is difficult.

Just gotta find a balance with the effort you're willing to put in and calibrate your expectations or ROI for that effort.

Don't give up completely, but don't spend every spare moment trying to find the life fulfilling relationship of the ages.

Ain't no easy answer to this. Pain is always the potential flip side of something good.

I'm not sure all hope is lost but the current 'market place', if you will, is one in which we have to change the very core idea of what we've always thought a woman's place was in our life and what that means and how significant a role it plays in how happy and content we'll be. Don't think you're not alpha or that you 'don't get it' by feeling the way you do. A-lot of men who are beyond successful with women are very frustrated by what we're dealing with today. You just have to adjust your reality and accept the current situation for what it is. https://therationalmale.com/2014/09/29/a-new-hope/

Bro just be alpha.

Maintain frame, spin plates, and read the Book of Pook.

All there is to it.
Being alpha has sh*t to do with it. Plenty of 'alpha males' get raped sideways in divorce court.

I am in a very happy LTR at the moment and have been since December.She drives almost two hours every other weekend to come see me,pays for at least half the dates,and the sex is white hot in the bedroom.She is a hot blonde haired blue eyed women she always get's looks anywhere we go.She is also a single mom.If I would have listened to all of the advice on this forum (not to date single moms) I would have missed out on a really great 9 months,she is way better than any single non-mom I have dated.So I can only speak for myself I am in an awesome LTR (but I still know the true nature of women ;))
