"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.

Where the hell did Scaramouche go? Hasn't logged in for almost 6 weeks now... Does anyone know more about this?

PairPlusRoyalFlush, I had originally added a similar Bible Belt comment in my OP, but I decided to take it out.
Like most of us, I believe that he has turned AFC and is making the wrong choices in his situation, but that doesn't mean we should make fun of him.

Anyway, I really hope Scara is still alive...

A joke, of course. Although I'm never opposed to individuals bleeding gov't dry. Unfortunately though, I'll have to pick up the slack.
Maybe a tips&tricks section on offshore banking, tax evasion, paying less or no child support and general advice on leeching the system is an idea? Head it is as "For the man who's gone full poolside". Something we can pass on to our own boys one day (the ones we agreed on actually having as an individual in a 2 way decided partnership I mean.)
 

"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.

Dear All,
Oh ye of little faith,truly is it said "A prophet is not without honour saving in his own Land"...In a Pilgrimage worthy of Paul I have been spreading the good word throughout the Eastern Lands...China and the Phillipines mainly,though I spent a magic week at Frazers hill in Malaysia...All is well,though my Pvrick is in a splint,consider me one of the walking wounded,battered but unbowed....So I will post about some interesting times in a little while
