"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Hey, I understand you man, but take it easy. You have a good way of thinking. Don't let this dumb little sentence ruin your relationship, but still, don't let it slide if it bothers you that much. (and it does sound annoying).

Let us know how it develops...
How do i deal with it though? I have a tendency of holding it in then i blow up on her, and then she turns it around on me and makes me out to be the bad guy for making a big deal out of such a "little thing"

That ticks me off in the first place, cuz this is not a little thing, its the most important thing - a bf and gf talkin to each other. Aside from her cheating on me, nothin is more important that not being comfortable having conversation with ur gf. She spews out her entire day to me every time i talk to her, its so godamm boring, but i put up with it cuz i think thats how a relationship should be, as long as its 2 way. But if shes gonna make me feel weird for knowing stuff (cuz i read, and have expereinced 25 yrs of life, so i therefore know sh*t) then something's not right. It's annoying how her response to me was "fine, i wont say that ever again, if it offends u". It's like shes missing the whole point. She doesnt get the concept that u dont ask someone "why do u know that" constantly. I said to her, oh barrack obama is half black, and she was like, why do u know that? it's so ridiculous. I took her to a cajun restaurant and she asked me if i knew what a Po-boy sandwich was, and i said its a new orleans style shrimp sandwich, emeril lagasse makes those. And she said "why do u know that" i'm like cuz i do, i saw him on tv making it once, the guy is the most recognizable chef in the world,. He's been on leno and letterman before and just about eveyr show there is, hes like horsesh*t, hes everywhere. I mean why wouldnt i know that. nobody said it was excting or anything, i just added it to the convo, cuz thats how i knew was a po boy was. Should i never say a fact ever again?

She gave one of those apologies that isnt evenan apology, as if what im mad about is not valid.

How can i stop this behavior without having to blow up on her?
 

"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.

Obviously it bothers you. From what I got from your post, you're a "bit" upset over this (which you should be).

So I think there are only 2 options:

either you will eventually blow up on her, just one night you would have enough in a restaurant and go ballistic, just because she said "why do you know that" when she asked you what medium-well is.

OR, you could sit her down on your bed (or where ever, but only the 2 of you are present and its a quiet setting) and explain to her all that you explained to me, but calmly. Do not explode on her, and request for her to not just said "whatever" and actually understand where you are coming from and what you mean - and that you care about her and that's why you are bringing it up. Because you are both mature and you want to work out the problem between you too.

But you have to be Cool Calm and Collected for this, other wise it will explode into a big fight which will danger your future with her.

Hope I helped you dude, and update if you can.
