"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

This topic came up in a coffee shop conversation with a couple of women who were listing the qualities of a man that would make them happy. Basically they were looking for stereotypical Disney-like Prince Charming. It prompted me to dig up this list that has been floating around the Net comparing what it takes to make a woman happy as opposed to what we need as men.

It's not difficult to make a woman happy. A man only needs to be:
1. a friend
2. a companion
3. a lover
4. a brother
5. a father
6. a master
7. a chef
8. an electrician
9. a carpenter
10. a plumber
11. a mechanic
12. a decorator
13. a stylist
14. a sexologist
15. a gynecologist
16. a psychologist
17. a pest exterminator
18. a psychiatrist
19. a healer
20. a good listener
21. an organizer
22. a good father
23. very clean
24. sympathetic
25. athletic
26. warm
27. attentive
28. gallant
29. intelligent
30. funny
31. creative
32. tender
33. strong
34. understanding
35. tolerant
36. prudent
37. ambitious
38. capable
39. courageous
40. determined
41. true
42. dependable
43. passionate
44. compassionate

WITHOUT FORGETTING TO:
45. give her compliments regularly
46. love shopping
47. be honest
48. be very rich
49. not stress her out
50. not look at other girls

AND AT THE SAME TIME, YOU MUST ALSO:

51. give her lots of attention, but expect little yourself
52. give her lots of time, especially time for herself
53. give her lots of space, never worrying about where she goes

54. Never to forget:
- birthdays
- anniversaries
- arrangements she makes.

​
Easy, right??!

HOW TO MAKE A MAN HAPPY

1. Show up naked
2. Bring food and beer.

​
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Its too bad you've turned your rep off long ago. You'd most certainly have the coveted 2 green squares by now. Only 3 on the entire forum have them.

Yes because it's much harder for a guy to get women than the reverse.

I disagree.. Because you're thinking a woman could go out, find a guy, bring him home, and bang him. There are factors involve which prevent her from doing just that. Such as risks; pregnancy, being labeled slvt, guy who'd want more, etc.. She can't just sleep around. She must first choose a right guy, play her little games to make sure that's a right guy, be with him for long enough to realize that he's a right guy, all that stuff women need to do to justify sex.

For a guy, you go out to a bar, find your self a woman, display your best, and if you got it she will pick you. You bang her, and say good bye.. Done. You can also buy sex.

In essence, ladies have the picking and choosing job, dilemma, whatever. That's hard. Men are just displaying. That's easy. Thus it's much easier for a man to get laid than for a lady.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Perhaps... Although I'm pretty sure that I already have several reputations in the forum. Besides, I already get enough flack from guys with post envy. ;)

I don't drink beer so you've cut the criteria for the girl in half.

Wow, if that's not the biggest load of BS.... An equally attractive guy and woman walk into a bar, sit down at the bar and keep to themselves. You're telling me the guy has a higher chance of being "chosen" and taken home than the girl? What planet do you live on? Women don't have to put as much effort into meeting guys.

Depends how you view it. For some it's hard, for some it's easy.. My point is men have the bar set low.
