She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
This is very sad.. but it doesn't surprise me at all. Most modern women have penis envy and hate men for a number of reasons. They hate us for being physically stronger than them. They hate us because society judges us by our accomplishments and not just our bodies. They hate that men can rape them. They hate that men can have kids basically their whole lives.. while women have a short time period. They hate that all women's power comes from sex appeal.GotED? said:But having seen my 1st wife manipulate and using the leverage of me loving my son beyond all other things in life and thinking I would never leave the family structure because of it, she started to become a major b!tch at the end of our marriage and thought because of her 'assumption' of leverage with our child that she can abuse me and act like a feminist p!g.
I walked out on that marriage after she attempted to hit me while I was holding my 3yr old son in one arm. It doesn't get lower than that, doing it in front of the kid and while I am holding him.
Children are wonderful - BUT if your heart is NOT in it, don't even test the water if you don't have temperament and patience. However, women expoit men with our children often once a marriage starts to go sour.
Now I am 40 and looking back at all the crazies - sometimes I am coming to the conclusion that it is safer just to be alone because once you love something so deeply as your own child and have it separated from you, that is probably the next worst thing than having your child die before you.
With respect,

Only thing that came to mind after reading that was: FVCK THESE BISHES!!!PlayHer Man said:Women will relentlessly seek out your weaknesses from day one of meeting you. Once she finds them.. she will use them to control you. It can be sex, insecurity, pride, or in your case.. your love for your kid.
This is the mentality I don't understand. In 100 years I'll be dead, whether or not I've reproduced. Even if I do have kids and my genes "live on," what benefit do I see personally? I'm dead, so none.Skalioppe said:Kids are your route to immortalisation
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.
