"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
i cheated, but that's not who i am, but i'm in love, so i don't feel bad rotfl

"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.
Everything on that page is dumb. The sheer mindless stupidity...behold and weep.

Haha I was standing right in front of those two when that picture in the article was taken at Tabu at the MGM in Vegas a couple of months ago. I even remember that pose they took. We had just walked out of the David Copperfield show (sucked) and there they were.backbreaker said:

Yeah that's some tenuous logic there.
"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.

Don't get me started on "celebrity marriages"...they are largely a sham for the sake of the paparazzi and the idiots who follow celeb gossip.
I think we need to learn a lot from Indians regarding family life. This country attaches a lot of importance to moral values. There is no premarital sex. Divorce is very rare. Your wife will be with you throughout your life. You are expected to provide her whatever she needs. The only thing I hate about Indian marriage system is dowry.

Feminism has been exported to India and it's coming from the top down, let's see if it takes root there. Here is their Czar of feminism getting grilled.

Sorry your information is wrong. Premarital sex is very very common, and cheating on spouses is common enough. Hell my granddad is a sugar daddy!! (Im half Indian, and my Indian Granddad has been "dating" his junior lawyer for the past 20 years...he is 95 and she is 45 - all the while my grandma was alive....who passed away recently from dementia...coincidence? Oh and the girlfriend was present for the cremation and mourning). One of my cousins on the Indian side got an arranged marriage to this chick whose mother used to sleep with some senior governmental official for extra money with her husband's consent. Of course this information was known before, but the marriage was still approved by the elders...the monetary windfall was worth it. Another cousin got into a similar arrangement with a chick (extremely wealthy parents) who is highly histrionic and probably suffers from BPD too! His life is a living nightmare. So much for moral values!! The only difference is that in Indian society everyone is a goddamn hypocrite which sort of compels people to put up with huge **** by hiding it under the carpet, or pretending to be the virgin Mary when they are as skanky as the *****s/sluts in certain countries in Eastern Europe. Personally I prefer the *****s/sluts in Eastern Europe - at least you know what you are getting into from the start. Very unhealthy society IMHO.. No respect.
And yes this dowry and arranged marriage sham...that is just socially acceptable gold digging.

"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.
To have mutiple sexual partners is one's natural tendency. Marriage is the thing that's unnatural. When I see someone trying to give some sort of excuse for cheating, it's reminiscent of me of someone attempting to explain why they ate food today. Culture, for better or worse, occasionally mandates that someone makes excuses for natural behavior.
Is it possible to fast/not cheat? Sure, but that doesn't make it natural.
I think we'd be better off if our cultural gradually shifted to one where we weren't so hard on ourselves. Self-imposed rules, especially unnatural ones, are often unhealthy in a variety of ways.
If there's any reason to avoid marriage it is probably this; so you don't have to deal with the unnatural restrictions that marriage imposes in our culture.

I find it odd hearing it from you. Maybe I missed a few posts between here and then (it was years ago, damn, time passes). I remembered you are married (and married young to a girl who actually works for the marriage) and written in a pro-marriage style. Have something changed? My memory is off? Or you have a mistress/just happy despite being unnatural?azanon said:
