"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 dunno if this is the right place for this, so move it if it isn't.
Came across this site a few months back now...
http://www.nomarriage.com/
This site is a bit of an eye opener, and I accept that it can't be right for every situation...but this is what I picture Marriage to be like.
What do you fella's think? A bit extreme? Or right on?

How bout' you married guys (if there are any) out there chime in and comment.
I think that this page is a good accompaniment to this place personally...
 

"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.

Ahhh yes! We are all well aquainted with this site and it is often quoted & linked to.

When I first read it I was a little offened...but then as I spoke with some of my friends I found it sadly true. If you find someone you truely want to spend the rest of your life with get a pre-nuputial agreement.

Your future mate may whine that it's unromantic, but so is a freaking divorce! Get a pre-nup and put in EVERYTHING. Think of every possible rotten thing that can happen and put it in there.
This is a big commitment and needs to be carefully thought out.
