"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I was linked to this site called 'artofmanliness', which im sure many of you know. Being very pro-masculinity and anti-feminist myself, im naturally intrigued.

The site is updated often and has a lot of buzz, i was curious how i hadn't heard of this before.

I look through some of the sections and i see a topic about a guy having problems with his wife acting like a good-for-nothing-ho.

http://artofmanliness.com/2009/05/2...ife-in-text-message-wife-responds-with-snark/

Here's his question:

My wife and I got into an argument the other night about how many hours she has been working at her job. I would like her home more. I let things cool down a bit and did not speak with her again that night. The next day, I thought I would apologize to her for getting into an argument. But when I texted her, she responded with a snide remark. As hard as I tried to make things right, it just turned into another argument. It seems like no matter how hard I try, she is not willing to make up. Should we go to counseling?
After 5 paragraphs of talk about how bad texting and technology is, the only reference to his direct question was this:

My suspicion is that you value what she does for you at home more than you value how her work makes her feel. I say this because the only reason you got into an argument with her was because you weren’t listening to her. What you wanted to communicate was more important to you than your wife.

Go back home, apologize for trying to apologize via text (oy, this is getting complicated) and then gently let her know that you miss her and wondered whether the two of you could discuss a new balance between work and home. You don’t need counseling to turn this around. You just need to care
You would expect this kind of misinformation on msn.com or a womens magazine, but this is a website that advertises itself as 'reviving the lost art of manliness'.

It goes to show that the true 'art of masculinity' is still very much an underground thing. The very few websites like this one and the blogs of roissy and roosh etc are the only places that a true understanding of society for us men is accepted. Another place to find wisdom is Hip Hop, especially old school classic albums.

Acquire career and financial success, be an alpha male, have a badboy player mindset about women and take care of your own life like a man. Mainstream loves to tone down and feminize these ideas.
 

"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.

I have a love-hate relationship with that blog.

Some of their articles are great. (The Benjamin Franklin virtue list, for example.) However, a lot of it as well as the people that follow the blog are, unfortunately, feminized.

The comments sort out most of your complaints. It's some clued up guys who read that site.


As for the mainstream being feminized. In other news, the sky is blue.

I don't know about that. It hasn't helped inner-city culture very much at all.

But otherwise, limiting your apologies some is probably a good thing for most people. Not everyone.

Mainstream is always feminized. The docile and emasculated cows always herd together, thus creating what is known as the Mainstream.
 

"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.

Everything on that site is awesome except for stuff related to women. It's like white-knighting on steroids when it comes to their dating/relationship sh!t.
