"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.

LMFAO - Poor Guy

"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.

I know a guy in a similar situation except instead of cancer his wife has a severe case of fibromyalgia which makes her pretty much incapable of doing womanly duties. So this guy does the dishes, laundry, cooks, cleans, buys everything for the house, etc....

I don't fault him for it though.... they've been married 30 or so years and she's only been like this 5 years or so... In situations like this - i think you live in a frame where you pretty much have to feel like a single male living by himself... you're going to have to do those things anyway...

nothing wrong with taking care of someone when they're ill....


however, allowing a woman to call you her "wife"........ is ridiculous =)

ok....what's wrong? I don't see the problem here

This man's wife feel ill, so now he has to step up and pull weight for both parties?

I salute that man. That's what a true husband would do for his family.

and the wife comment? I'm sure she was only joking/ praising her husband, as most of the time i'm sure wives do more than their fair share when it comes to cooking, cleaning, house duties, work, etc. I don't think it was meant to be taken as a Jab to men or her husband's manhood in anyway. It was a very complimentary thing to say.

However I'm not sure when caring became a feminine trait. Shouldn't a strong man care and work hard for his family? The wife comment makes it seem so, but even you guys on here act like if he isn't being an ass to her and not giving a fvck than he is somehow less of a man. That type of "bad-boy" dude is exactly what she was talking about in her article. enough with that BS. I think husbands and men worldwide need to step up and take their place as leaders and providers, not players and hard-assess

I would only hope to have the strength that man has in that situation.

He is caring for the woman he loves. That what a true man does.

The problem is she's calling her HUSBAND, her Wife.
It's not a compliment, it's an insult.

Another problem is the negative grouping of men, when did some people automatically assume the husband was a "good-for-nothing, lazy slob" ?
 

“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.

I concur with you, IF she is was a young virgin who treated me well when I met her. If not she is just some tramp that i would dump the moment things got a little rocky. Harsh? Not at all. I believe treating females with total respect IF they have chosen to live their lives in a manner that deserves respect. Same goes for men.

It is for these reasons why I love myself so damn much. I treat people the way they deserved to be treated. I am a rarity these days. And guess what? Girls love me for it. Sexually active girls want to be treated for what they are - tramps. Most girls who have morals want to be respected for going in that direction. In other words, I am giving them what they want!

If a woman ever referred to me as her "wife", I would go buy a bag of Beechnut just so I could spit a huge one in her eye.

I'm pretty sure that he's being called a "wife" in jest. Not to be taken seriously.

Once again, a MAN is primarily someone who takes care of his own. His own property and his own family and himself. That is the end all and be all of manhood. The rest is pretty much just for show.

So this "wife" is being a man.

Dude the entire article is built on the premise that 'wife' >>> 'husband' first of all. So even when this guy steps up and takes care of his family, its not a credit to him as a man, its a credit to him DESPITE being a man.

And honestly, I don't really care. I'm beyond getting all uppity over this "the feminist media wants to destroy all men" stuff. I just couldn't believe there was actually an article going so far as to promote a man being called a 'wife' like its some enlightened view.

And one of comments to the article was something like "Oh please send your wife to me!! I need a wife! I'll do anything for him. Well, almost anything. ;)" INDEED.

The article is actually built on that there are more nice guys than society would have you think. And that they are better mates than bad boys. An article that is actually an anathema to this site but in a different way.

Focusing on the "wife" part is missing the forest for the trees. I could care less if my girlfriend called me her "wife" in a joking manner when I am being particularly attentive. I am attentive because I like it and she likes it. It's not an act. It's not to win her over. It's because that's what a partner should do. So casual jibes don't bother me. Now if it WAS intended to curry favor then I might be put off since my plan wasn't working.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
