"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Hi All,

In my opinion its counterproductive to get into a monogamous relationship with a woman, unless you are seriously considering having babies with that girl and getting married. I'm not a huge marriage fan, but I do think that marriage can be important in giving kids a good family base to grow up in. Healthy childhood development is a key determinant of health that affects people through out their entire life.

Personally, I'd NEVER get into a LTR or monogamous relationship unless I could see myself marrying/having babies with the girl one day... The girl has to have serious potential and be attractive, have a great personality, educated/intelligent, etc... You have way more choices when you're single, and for a guy who enjoys sexual variety, the opportunity cost is too great to become monogamous with a substandard girl. Yet I see tons of guys w/ girlfriends that they're not really that into, and don't see a serious future with.

I don't understand why guys get into these relationships in the first place. Any thoughts/insights would be appreciated.
 

"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.

You know what the deal is.

They see their friends settling down, they're too tired to go out in the "dating scene", and they're just happy to have someone to bang. So they convince themselves that they're in love, and live the lie...until one day they're 50, married for 20 years, and some hot secretary who's down to f**k comes along.

I don't get into relationships with girls I don't think has marriage potential. But then again I think most people really do. The trouble is once they find out the girl isn't marriage material, they don't move on and they draw it out forever until one dumps the other.

If I see a girl and it seems like our future won't work out, I won't discount her immediately, I just will keep things at a point before it reaches boyfriend-girlfriend stage. A.k.a. just hooking up and casual dating.
