"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.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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?
 

"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.

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.
