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.
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.
Hahahaha, Luveno that's hilarious man, and ALL TOO TRUE. Women's naievete is cute and alluring when they're 5'5 and 100 lbs. The naievete soon transforms into "stupidity" once she gets double-chins and her ass makes the couch cave in so much that you can't sit up straight without sliding into her.Originally posted by Luveno
Also, the element of challenge is killed once a man gets married. Since there is no legal way this man can be an adulterer, she gets fat like 60% of the people out there, and he has to sit there and LOVE ithe cow! Isn't that bestiality?
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
That's priceless... good point. Anybody check out the Blog ("Mirror Of The Soul") from Pook's profile? Like Pook said, his tone may put people off, but damn, the dude backs up his point with some good evidence. I have no problem with the idea of love, but that little, tiny certificate of marriage.. that piece of paper can cause some nasty problems.Originally posted by sux2bu
LET'S SEE - I SHOULD GET MARRIED BECAUSE:
1) I CAN'T FAWK ANYONE BUT YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
AND..
2) IF WE SPLIT UP, YOU GET ALL MY STUFF!!
WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!
Oh, and It's not that married men live longer than single men. When your married it just SEEMS longer.
:woo:
I wonder if the power of corporation would protect you from divorce-related losses. (the logic being, you exist separately from your corporation--- it's like you are different entities. Your ex didn't marry your corporation, she married you, right? The idea is that you own nothing of value in your own name (every real asset you have (stuff like property, investments, and money) is owned by your corporation, and you just own worthless shyt like your toothbrush, toilet paper, the clothes on your back, etc.) and you fully control the corporation, so you have full use of anything owned by your corporation. (you live in your corporate-owned house/multiplex unit, drive your corporate-owned car, etc.) and no one else can touch your stuff since they are not part of the corporation. That means that your b!tch of an ex probably can't take your stuff.)Originally posted by belividere
Women do have all the power in a divorce, at least in the US. If you are an average guy making average money than you cannot afford a divorce. If you have kids you are ****ed even more. the "partnership" of marriage means that a woman can walk away with a good percentage of your belongings even if she hasn't worked to pay for any of them. Most of the smart guys making lots of money know better and manage to work around this, at least financially. The rights of fathers to see their own kids are still messed up in my opinion under the current system.
"If a young man gets married, starts a family, and spends the rest of his life working at a soul-destroying job, he is held up as an example of virtue and responsibility. The other type of man, living only for himself, working only for himself, doing first one thing and then another simply because he enjoys it and because he has to keep only himself, sleeping where and when he wants, and facing woman when he meets her, on equal terms and not as one of a million slaves, is rejected by society. The free, unshackled man has no place in its midst."
"Men have been trained and conditioned by women, not unlike the way Pavlov conditioned his dogs, into becoming their slaves. As compensation for their labours men are given periodic use of a woman's vagina."
"If praise is applied in the correct dosage a woman will never need to scold. Any man who is accustomed to a regular and conditional dosage of praise will interpret its absence as displeasure."
"Someday it will dawn on man that woman does not read the wonderful books with which he has filled his libraries, and though she may well admire his marvelous works of art in museums she herself will rarely create, only copy."
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Bump in Memory of Crowes22. That was a damn good article.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
