"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.

Palimony for just boinking a woman?

In a decision described as the first of its type in the nation, the state Supreme Court ruled yesterday that a couple does not have to live together in order for one partner to sue the other for palimony after a breakup.
Let me get this straight. Now, even if a man does not cohabitate with a woman, and he could still be forced to pay her support? Or perhaps if a man tells a woman that he intends to marry her in the future, but he never marries her, it is legally as if he DID marry her.

WHERE IS THE LOGIC HERE?
 

"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.

Well, in a way, this is a return to the good ol' days. It used to be that having sex with a woman with the false promise of marriage was itself a felony.

The guy in this story is definitely a complete sleazeball. BUT this judgment is atrocious. I guess he was paying some of her rent?? The state is basically saying that if you mooch off someone long enough then you can sue them to keep mooching them at that level !!! If he had given her no money there wouldn't be a suit!!!

This sh*t makes me sick. I can't even read it, really. When the F*CK is this system of pussified men in this country going to wake the f*ck up? It is out of hand, it's been out of hand. I don't understand, don't the men who make and approve of these laws realize they're working against themselves? What benefit do they think they will gain from it? I truly don't understand it.

Men keep working against themselves, it's an ongoing epidemic. It is really a terrible thing. No unity at all in this gender! It's a disgrace! I'm sickened by what I see.

I wish we could all band together on here and start a greivance of some sort, get petitions going, win people over to our side, and organize a huge following, and take it to our Capitols or Congress.

Life just keeps getting tougher for us, no matter what we do with a goddam woman, we're f*cked.
