"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I've been meeting some single moms, some over 40...that say they have children, but still want more. Don't they realize that most men her age likely already have kids, and don't want more?

What's this obsession with having kids at an older age? Don't they realize that being an AARP qualified member and being the only 55 year old with a parent picking up their 10 year old from soccer practice kind of makes you a stand-out among the 20 and 30-something parents?
 

"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.

Maybe its to lure you in

Her: I have kids
You: Nice
Her: I want more
You: I want kids too
Her: Let's LTR

I know some women (with kids) who after divorce, they started dating again and the guy said ''having kids'' was a condition to LTR.
So they likely 1) Like kids 2) Wanna make sure to get in a LTR with a family guy

Do not enter relationship with a single mom, children should only be your own. Leave the luggage carrying part to champs, you are 5% of men, you got better things to do with your life.

These women who over 35 years old don't realize that their ship has already sailed away. They'll do anything to get on board. But on my boat there is a party with top notch models 30 years and younger, no children allowed.

Well, I'm at an age where most women DO have kids, so I am open to dating them...if her kids are in the older age bracket, ie high school....but the topic here is about women wanting kids after 40. The last woman I dated called things off with me and her last 40-something boyfriend because we didn't want kids.

I mean, duh...what 40-something dude is going to want to have children...because they've usually already had children.

You're 32, at your age I dated 23 year old. There are women without children. Plus you got everything wrong, the older the child the worst the relationship. If you have to settle it goes down as priority like so:

1. no children
2. child younger than 4 years old ----------- \
3. older child ----------------------------------> relationships don't work out
4. several children -------------------------- /

Don't be a champ, and don't consider women with children, that's the best advice you'll ever get on this forum.
 

"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.
