Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

The Mature Man forum exists because it assumes that at a certain age your life assumes different perspectives and different challenges. You're most likely done with school and you've paid your dues at work and you've have almost two decades more to settle into your own skin than those in the high school forum. You've achieved some measure of success and are looking to move on from there. LTRs discussions are incidental to the MM forum because after a certain point in time most men decide to 'settle down' and need to retool their game.

On that note, I want to quash the mini-argument about how different LTRs are from STRs and ONSs. I tried to write a post a few months ago on strategic thinking in the dating game that never panned out, but the gist of it was that you can't go bass fishing with a tuna lure and expect success. If you're objective becomes different, so must be your tactical approach. Aside from that I think what Oxide and Francisco are trying to illustrate (and please let me know if I'm misinterpretting this) is that all success requires you to have your life and consequently the three Cs together. Who would disagree?

I think that an LTR forum might be a natural outgrowth of the DJ principles. Some guys naturally gravitate towards LTRs whereas others gravitate towards STRs and ONSs, but almost every man will seek an LTR at least once in their lifetime.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
