"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.

Was wondering today.. how many of you guys who are in actual relationships, allow your woman to go out drinking? This does not apply to plates!

For example she goes out drinking with the girls, once a month etc etc

Are you guys cool with this.. or do you feel its not a healthy thing for the relationship..
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I keep her on a very short leash and try not to let her out of her kennel if I can.

depends on the girl, ideally you would pick a girl that is not into the partying scene at all, but not sure this is really possible for most guys these days. I might be okay if it was clear that the girl was in the mother hen role or something but honestly I'm not even looking at that party girl demographic. with the girls I am going after for relationships, I would be surprised if they drink much at all. once a month I would say it's iffy, twice a month or more I would say definitely a red flag

I am finding this too.. the last chick I was seeing was out drinking pretty much every single weekend.. and she was in her late thirties... so i dropped her, as no long term potential here..


I think if she did the occasional night out, it wouldn't be much of a problem.. but on a regular basis, would definitely present me with a problem..


Also what do you do, if you meet a chick who is great on every other level.. and you happen to like her... but she likes to go out drinking with her friends..

Would you tell her you are not happy about it, and its not what you are looking for long term?

Or would you just write her off as a fuk buddy and nothing more
 

"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.

I think it depends on the girl and how often she's going out etc. I ususally follow my gut instinct when it comes to this sort of thing.

Most women will cheat if you lay down the right game. It truly is sad out there my friends. I can't tell you how many married or engaged chicks me and my friends bagged up. In fact those are some of the easiest ones

My girlfriend is 22, she goes out to a small town local bar for drinks once or twice a month. Sometimes we go together some times not. Other than this bar she rarely goes anywhere else. Doesn't bother me, I go out to the bar without her as well. If she's gonna cheat then I don't want to be with her, simple as that.

It's not like old days where bars were generally a men's club.

People, especially women, go to bars for alcohol and attention from the opposite sex. Whether or not she pulls the trigger depends on how you measure up to the guy she meets.

It's called, keeping your options open, but this can be done outside of bars as well. It's just easier to use the excuse that it was the alcohol that caused it.
 

"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.

How many of us ALLOW her to? My girlfriend used to go to bars drinking while getting naked for money. I never told her she wasn't allowed to. She quit when she turned 22, on her own. I would prefer that than to enforcing rules backed by anonymous a-holes like me. But then again, that requires a relationship with a woman who is trying to talk the man into staying, not a woman on a leash. Be honest: are you wearing a turban?

If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't care how she spent her time as long as I knew I could trust her.

I let her go, always f8ck her so good with so much passion that she wouldnt dare to talk to other guys and think about cheating. She will be so happy with you that she will constantly call you even though you at the crib watching a movie or so. IMO let her go hang out with her friends don't lock her up.

This^

Restricting freedom is controlling and based in unfound fears/insecurities. You shouldn't have to "disallow" your woman to do anything. If she does things you don't approve of.......why the fvck did you get into an exclusive relationship with her in the first place?
