"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Is the term "trophy wife" used as a shaming tool?

I was reading an article about Rupert Murdoch's wife, in which she is called a "trophy wife." It seems to be that this is nothing more than yet another shaming tool by the matriarchy to make a powerful mature man look like a fool for having such a young wife.

Of course, as an earlier thread has mentioned, this one is a good bodyguard as well.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Spot-on. I never really thought of it that way. I think it's also used to shame the relationship in general - it implies a financial/status based arrangement rather than one founded on "love."

Frankly, a wealthy man married to an attractive woman is just how it should be!

Oh no, this hot woman wants me because of my status and wealth!! The horror!!

People who make those accusations are just jealous. That is what it comes down to.

Trophy Wife......So what do we call Ashton?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

ALL women are attracted to wealth and power...

thing is...the women who label other women 'trophy wives' are women whose husbands are run of the mill ordinary. If Rupert was interested most women would gladly spread their legs, everyone has a price

A term used by jealous overweight bytches whom almost all without fail would jump at the chance to be a "trophy- wife" to some rich and/or famous dude if they didn't weigh 180 with an arse the size of texas.
