"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I was just going through all the girls that I've known fairly well over the past few years or so, friends, flings, coworkers, friends of friends, etc.. and if somebody asked me if any one of them would fit my criteria for a girl I would honestly desire a LTR with, I would say NOT EVEN ONE of them.

Sure, I'd bang most of them, and have some of them, but if I was being totally honest with myself, I would find they just wouldn't work because of one thing or another. Some may be good looking but have other issues, others have good personalities but are like HB4's others just suck in a lot of area's, etc. Others are ok in most areas but really just are not good enough in any area to be long term desirable..

Having said all that, I don't think I'm THAT picky. I'd just like something in the HB7+ area, that is generally a happy person that smiles, doesn't have a ton of baggage, is not BPD, and is just all around fairly normal.

It's nuts, I mean, is there any hope at all?? :eek:
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Young women these days aren't brought up to be a wife, therefore you will struggle to find one who is suitable as a LTR.

I have the same issue.

You may have better luck overseas, but you gotta be quick. Even my mother's home country (a SE Asian one) has been ruined by that.

The good ones that you can be in a LTR with (regardless of countries of origin) are usually brought up to fulfill that role by her parents and extended family. Think about how little girls have been brought up in the last 3-4 decades and you'll have your answer.

Dear All,
Not a good Idea to look for a wife overseas...particularly an East Asian Girl....There is not so much a gap as a yawning chasm between you and her...although in general they are far superior wives,and long term lovers,there will be significant communication and Cultural problems ...best idea is to find one that someone else has broken in...Don't have to marry them that way.....I have found Mainland Chinese the best...Roissy has a really good blog "Gaming Asian Women" in general the correspondents would mirror my experiences.
 

"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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
They are out there...you just have to be willing to put in the time and exercise the patience to find one. Be glad that most men don't have the persistence to do anything more than settle.

You know how the hot girl in the club is usually undersexed because most guys believe they are "out of her league"? The same principle applies in the "relationship" world. The best women get approached only by pricks and losers who have nothing to lose...they are waiting for you. But they won't find you unless you keep putting yourself out there.

When you see the drek that is passing for "good people" in Western society today, it's hard to maintain faith. But you must. And get some good f**king in the meantime. :D

No, it's not just you. I felt that way for a long time, a couple of years probably.

There IS hope, trust me. You just have to keep your head up. I know that's really nonspecific advice but it's all you can do, along with continual self-improvement. I will say though be careful of thinking that foreign women are the answer...they arent. They can be refreshingly different in a lot of ways, but like Scaramouche said you have to take into account the cultural and communication differences. These can be a major headache and it's not something you can just ignore---in fact this was one of the main reasons my last gf (brazilian) and I didnt work out---her expectations were totally different than American chicks and it was just tough when she never got my jokes, pop culture references, etc.

My gf and I now work amazing well together and honestly there wasnt anything special I did to meet her, I guess the timing was right. I had just worked through some personal issues with a counselor right before I met her---so there you go, self-improvement again. It's an exercise in patience more than anything else.
