Is anybody here good friends with old girlfriends kind of like Jerry and Elaine on Seinfeld? What about being friends with girls that you had sex with a few times but don't have sex with them anymore? How does that work out?
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"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.

I just asked a similar question about this in the "female friends" thread. I'm interested to see the responses.
Swede, are you still attracted to her? And if you were, would you not be friends with her anymore?

Yeah im still attracted to her, but not emotionally attracted to her. If i was emotionally attracted, say like i wanted to be with her. Then i really dont think it would work. Like past gfs where i loved, i tried to be there friends, and it didnt work because i loved them more than that.

Hi Swede, thanks for your reply. Can you explain to me the difference between being sexually attracted to her AND liking her as a friend and not being EMOTIONALLY attracted to her? If you like her enough to be friends with her, and you are still sexually attracted to her how is she not girlfriend material? This confuses the hell out of me...

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Definitely can relate with this one, since I just finished seeing a gal who I was intimate with, and we're trying to be friends. I was thinking that it would be more than just a physical thing, but now that I've realized it probably isn't, I'm trying to work out the whole "friends with benefits" thing, which is probably where it should have been. Anyways, I think it's more difficult to see the girl more if you've never been intimate. It's also hard if it was a serious relationship, because those are always one-sided breakups where one person is more hurt than the other.
Basically, I see this as a "friends with benefits" scenario, what I was just speaking of. It works out well if you both don't want a relationship but want the sex.Originally posted by seabreeze

i'm currently in the shift from romanceing to friendship but we didn't have a long relationship and we click yes we have sparks but i think its best that we be friends. I love the girl but its a friendship love.. but when it comes to love there isn't much difference.
we just dont' kiss, screw or hold hands anymore but she is probably the coolest girl ever, i can talk to her like one of the guys its pretty awesome, hopefully within time she'll be my best friend (i only have 1 best friend that's a chick at a time)

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I am friends with alot of the girls I have been with, but it is strictly on my terms. If they don't like my terms I tell them to take a hike over to one of the 150 million other guys in the world. If you wouldn't want it from, or do it for a 3, don't put up with it from her.

But if feelings arwe there and you really like the girl---especially enough to still be sexually attracted to her---why not just date her? I'm really confused as to how guys choose the girls that they want to date. i have a male friend right now who is really attracted to one of his female friends. He knows that she wants to have sex with him, but he won't do it because he doesn't want a relationship with her. but they talk constantly and go out a lot together. It just doesn't make sense to me why he won't start a relationship with her. Guys wassup?

Seabreeze, here's what I feel. Some girls are cute enough to have sex with but not cute enough to keep me in some long serious relationship. I know I can do better and have a higher standard for a girlfriend. Some girls have a sexy quality or attitude. I want to fvck that quality or attitude. But they're still not the full package and would be boring if I spent a lot of time with them. That doesn't mean they aren't cool people though. I mean I DO have minimum standards! lol! Yet, these girls only stimulate a certain level of passion in me and so I only want to commit a certain amount of my life to them.
In my afc days, I used to refuse to do anything intimate with these girls because I knew that the relationship wasn't going to be long term. It was all or nothing. I've since modified my beliefs. Why not enjoy a person for who she is and for the moment? I look at friendships as a good analogy for my sexual-romantic life. I have people I have fun with once and rarely ever see again, acquaintances, friends who are cool but aren't close friends, closer friends, and best friends who I spend a lot of quality time with. I see no problem with maintaining multiple relationships with various levels of connections. So I try to convey to girls that their challenge is to compete to gain that Queen level with me.

The relationship is overrated in my opinion. I should have been FWB with this girl I just finished dating for a month rather than seek a relationship with her, but I didn't, and now I'm kicking myself. However, it's still salvagable because at least we've done it already, so it's not as difficult to move it along those lines.
