"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

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?
 

"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.

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.
