"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Do you think wifey should get paid for doing housework and ... ahem, "personal services"?

I was reading this, and it got me perturbed.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/08/college-course-supports-women-getting-paid-for-housework/

Eugene Lang College will be offering a class in the fall that is based around the belief that women should get paid for “emotional labor” and doing chores around the house.

The course, called “Love and Currency,” is based on Silvia Federici’s 1975 essay “Wages Against Housework.”

“Wages for housework is only the beginning,” Federici writes, explaining that husbands should “pay us . . . not one wage, but many wages, because we have been forced into many jobs at once.”
‘They say it is love, we say it is unwaged work.’

“Many forms of labor, which are often not recognized as labor, fall along lines of gender, race and class,” it continues. “Whether changing nappies and washing an endless build of up dishes, caring for elderly and infirm family members, working multiple jobs without legal protection, or bearing up under everyday sexual harassment, constricting gender norms and systemic racism, invisible labor is exhausting.”
my opinion: So men are supposed to "man up" to this? :eek::down:
 

"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.

sure since that is teh case I think we should also discount, boarding and housing, utility usage, and certainly any other bill she make the dude pay, I alwyas find it funny people saying that, you never do consider what you are getting, in the end it would be far more cheaper to pay a house keeper and do it with prostitutes

though if someone consider taking baths and brushing teeths as labor, he really have some serious issues and all this crap shouldn't be even considered serious
 

"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.

Just fvck the housekeeper.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Pay the wife for sex?? Hahaha.

I'd tell her no problem. Plenty of women will fvck me for free, I've got a spending freeze in place.

But you only need to pull this tactic if your wife is not physically attracted to you anymore or thinks you have no options. Neither is the case with me.

I will say this:

If the husband is working while the wife stays home to raise kids and take care of the house, and that is by design, then they have some sort of partnership. So she certainly should have her own money to do with as she wishes, just as the guy should. Obviously this would come out of the husband's paycheck, since he has the only income. It's only fair. Hopefully there is enough to pay the bills and save/invest for the future, as well as have a little luxury here and there. But for there to be an itemized bill for services, no, that's ridiculous.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
