"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Dear Mature Men,

This is a research post for something I've been curious about for a while.
What I would like to find out is this:

What is your preferred level of relationships with women?

The outcome of this poll may help people by indicating what the most popular and desirable kind of a relationship is, so choose your preference!
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I couldn't vote.

My preferred relationship degree is based on the woman. WIthout that input, I'm unable to answer.

I had actually already considered that - but then I figured that this is not about the women.
This is about what you prefer.

If you know what you want, you can find a woman/women that is/are interested in the same thing. It shouldn't be the other way around, if you ask me.

And, like I said, I prefer to make a judgement based on the woman. Did I st-sstuh-stutter? You could have made that a choice.

Ok. I don't have a goal, or a finish-line, or target with regards to women. They are just around. You meet a woman, and things develop into what they are going to be. Prefer? I prefer to let things develop into what they are going to be. There's no telling ahead of time what that is. ONS, STR, MTR, LTR, Marriage... without a crystal ball, there is no telling.

That's actually pretty interesting.
I think you do have a valid point, this poll assumes that we have a single goal instead of having flowing relationships. Flowing relationships are much more likely and much more realistic.

However, for getting clear and relevant information on the desires and preferences we have, that shouldn't be included.

I do agree on your comment. Relationships are flowing, not absolute.

I prefer that my relationships absolutely stop flowing for about one week a month while the woman is flowing.

Oh, ok. That's simple. I'm a male. It's a no brainer! If you factor out all of the "real life" concerns...

Fine, I'll vote.

You guys are all liars. You would all prefer the same as I do, but "real life concerns" get in the way: VD, child support, psychos, etc.

I voted for regular fukk buddy, but as others have said it depends on the woman.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Multiple LTR here.

I like LTR, but I have a type of personality that's ready to leave a girl within a day even if things are going alright in a relationship for a year or 3 years.

Cazh FB for sure.

If I'm w/ a chick and we dig each other in the sack, it's great that we can count on each for an occassional romp, no questions asked, no need to re-discover each other, and the casual relationship means we should have enough honesty to make things real.
