Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

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.

Guys, forum rules dictate that you MUST have your age in your public profile in order to post in the Mature Man forum, and of course you must be age 25 or older.

I'm noticing that lots of new guys are posting without their age published. Please rectify this and publish your age before we make a sweep and delete posts.

Thanks.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

they should put their age on regardless of which subsection they use, makes it a little easier to understand where people are coming from, i.e. a guy putting up a post asking for advice, is he 17 or 37? makes a big difference in the reponse

I agree 100%. I hate wasting a round of posts asking how old someone is.

True....age gives context. Should be compulsory everywhere on here...

So does where you live. For example, I live in Norcal, girls up here are all crazy. I used to live in Socal (San Diego), girls there were all b1tches. I've lived in other areas, some places where girls were nice and friendly, other places not so much.

Your geographical location makes a difference as well.
