You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
You sound like a bleeding heart liberal. Poor old Paul, he was heartbroken, he's wasn't able to protect himself, well he should have been put in an institution if that was the case. Paul is responsible for HIS behaviour just as much as she is for hers. Don't blame her for his naiveness. Do you really think she didn't have any feelings for him and did it solely for the women? I don't deny that she is a gold digger but gold diggers have feelings too (I'm laughing my azz off while I type that last line)jophil28 said:P. Mc Cartney was still grieving for the woman he lost thru illness. That was a cruel stroke of nature - nobody's fault. He was vulnerable and understandably looking to replace his loss with another great woman..
H.Mills clearly took advantage of this and exploited his emotional state.
I am appalled at some of the callousness of a few of you guys . He is not to blame for her duplicitiousness. She is responsible for HER behavior, and perhaps he was naive to trust so readily Does this make him to BLAME for HER behavior because of his ( naive) willingness to enter into a marriage with high levels of trust for someone who purported to love him ? I believed that implicit trust was an essential ingredient of the committment to marriage?
Some of you guys need to get a heart.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
If your gonna whine & snivel, at least get your facts straight, she got no where near a quarter billion.thedeparted said:Some guys are totally fvcked in the head. Paul was grieving his wife when this one legged douche-bag of a gold-digging c0ck-svcking slvt showed up to bag him for a quarter BILLION.
There's an excellent case to be made, based on how she behaved throughout the divorce (like how she falsely accused Paul of domestic violence, and flew off the handle at his lawyer), that the daughter should be with her father, the better parent. I don't think Ms One-Legged should get anything.Latinoman said:This other woman...in my opinion, she should ONLY be getting Child Support.
No mate, that makes you a selfish kunt who holds a grudge. You are not entitled to what they have. You one of those chaps who has an issue with people who have money eh?MacAvoy said:Your a better man than me. If I was in that position, I'd do everything to get 100% of their net worth, or I'd piss away as much of their net worth while I was with them, actually I'd syphon it off prior to leaving cuz I'm that smart.
Hey man, don't listen to him, he's talking about pissing and spending the man's money, yet accuses others of being liberal. Apparently it is only ok to be liberal when it comes to spending. Them types have no trouble spending somebody else's money (as in spending liberally on a useless war!).AgonyUncle said:No mate, that makes you a selfish kunt who holds a grudge.

This is a pointless debate. If you cannot find fault in Mills, then I just dont know.
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.
Yeah because there is no way Paul not being the mother would take care of his child anyway right?MacAvoy said:Oh she's so bad cuz she took millions, oh no Poor Paul, he only has $750 million left. Guess what, she's raising his child with that money.
Oh only $48.6M eh?MacAvoy said:she was awarded only $48.6M.
Yeah another win for the "boys" clubMacAvoy said:So all you guys who were whining and complaining can be at ease, as the one legged hor complained that the boys "club" was at work and shut her out.
Married Men get justice:
When Linda met Paul he was already in The Beatles and one of the most famous people in the world. She seemed like a really nice person though. Heather, not so much.Latinoman said:The ONLY person in Paul's life that deserved 50% was his ex-wife (the one that died) as she was there for him during the goods and the bads and when he was starting.

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.

How about a NSFW tag on those?
