"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.

i.e;
What you wanted based on:

looks.
attitude.
character.
sex quality.
career/job.
gets along with your family/friends
dress sense.
No drama.
Hobbies/sport
independant


Reason im asking is because many of the guys here say they will never get married coz we know women and how messed up they are.

but!

what if you met the one girl, that you know matches some of your requirements.
if she didnt cheat had good character and was hot (7+) and got along with your friends/family.

what would you do?

First I'd find out about her past (sexual and nonsexual). Then we'll see.

If we connect well, and she is the type of girl I had in mind for marriage, and she satisfies above 70% of the attributes, then I would give it a thought.

im no where near as jaded as some other folk, despite the train wrecks i have dated. If she's a woman of quality, not pefection since that doesnt exist then i'd certainly marry her.
 

"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.

Studying the fact that all lies contain fragments
Divorce is too expensive and happens 80% of the time.. So marriage is not for me.. And i dont want kids so there is no need at all for me to be tied to one woman until she decides to divorce.

I have a different list but I'm up for marriage if the situation is right. Add "must sign prenup" and "must be a hard worker" to the list.

Anyone who is thinking of getting married before 30 is crazy, BTW.

I want all those attributes if i'm going to marry. Thats why i don't expect to find a girl worth marrying till i'm nearly my 30s.

if i reach 28 and i havn't found her yet, i'll go down to 70% of those traits. but no drama/attitude/looks are still mandatory.

This question is incredibly slanted!!

You are pretty much asking if we would marry a nearly perfect woman! That is like asking "Hey, you want a million dollars, but would you take the money if it was only 700k-900k?"

I personally don't want to get hitched for at least another 5-10 years. I have carry on a long Irish tradition of having kids when you are getting to old to play with them when they are older.

I'd want 100% of my requirements but a couple of yours don't match mine, notably:
Career/Job - I would expect that the character, intelligence would take care of this. Her current situation would be temporary and, if she older, I would need signs of temporary.
Family/friends - I would be worried and not trust her if it appeared to be a perfect match. It doesn't exist. Knowing how to act with respect to people she doesn't like and respecting my choices of friends are the critical parts. This obviously is a two way street.

BTW: The criteria applies to any gf. Way before they become a possible wife.
 

"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.
