"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.

Is this the typical situation for a young American husband?

I was reading this article - which is good in its own right, but not of any interest in this forum - but what struck me was the picture of the young couple: a fit husband (who has a good job too) and an obese wife (belly-obese, not the more feminine large-teats and/or ass-thigh type of obese.)

I mean what's the point? It's one thing to be old and have a fat wife, but at this early a stage of life?
 

"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.

Sounds like two yupsters. I have no explanation for other people's lives, everyone is a sheep following the a$$hole in front of him.

Dear MDJ,
Your post is relevent,basically I agree with Live free ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^...As a Builder and Developer for fifty years,a lecture in that profession for 23 Years,I would just say if you buy a second Hand Car,can you really expect the same standard of reliability that the original purchaser had?...Advanced Age is forcing a consolidation of my Real Estate Empire LOL,one of the things that I have noticed is how useless the new profession of Building Surveyor is...They guard every statement behind legalise that lets them off the hook if anything goes wrong!~...Wanna good Appraisal?...Get a Wizened,horny handed old bludger like me to cast his Eaglelike over you proposed purchase, he wont have a hatful of degrees,but he has something that years at University cannot Buy,Experience!

Maybe its the effect of birth? Pregnancy?

You never their past........... and when you are in a relationship.... beauty fade REALLY FAST. The prettiest girl could be the nastiest one or the most boring to the point you don't want to touch her anymore.

It's called Love, get you through appearance and look how she smiles.

Don't judge others, focus on you. However I agree.... we all want look + brain + personality

I bet the wife in the article uses her kid as an excuse for being fat and lazy. Problem is, how long ago was her pregnancy? The kid is like a few years old. Come the f*ck on. And what I don't get, is even if you don't care about your own health for some stupid ass reason... wouldn't you want to at least set a good example for your kid?
 

"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.

God, I hope not. Cute women keep their metabolism up. Men should, too. I'd rather be single than be married to a woman who wasn't cute.

Simple. He has a poor self-esteem. Feminism wants men to be insecure.

I know a guy that's a personal trainer, does cross fit, good physique, people love him. He had two kids with his teenage sweetheart but now she's so overweight she makes that girl in the article look good.
This dude could easily pull 8+ in metro areas.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Perhaps "house" is a metaphor for "wife" in this article.

Physical attraction is but one criteria. Who knows how long they've been together. The article mentioned she has some kind of professional sounding job, who knows.

@LiveFreeX "everyone is a sheep following the a$$hole in front of him."
^Truth, pure truth.

And as for the wife and man... He has a child with her, and that changes things entirely. She may not have always been overweight, she may have gained that weight after having a child or marrying him. I have seen it before. An associate of mine who is the same age as me, he is an HVAC repair guy, he has a child and marries a girl two years back. She was very cute, not super skinny but not at all fat, had nice tits.
Just two years later and I am not kidding when I say she looks like she has gained 40lbs... I thought she was pregnant again the last time I saw her, but no... She just gained that much over that short of a time.
