"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.

Silence is Golden, But Only for Women

"We have these gender stereotypes where we expect men to be dominant and assertive," Sellers told LiveScience. "And if they're not out there speaking and taking charge of situations they're accused of not being a man."

This is kind of an interesting study in that it validates what I've proposed before about women filling the "power vacuum" when their LTR/Husband can't or wont fill the masculine role. This takes it a bit further and goes into the societal perceptions we have of couples where this imbalance is obvious.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

The scientists suggest gender stereotypes are to blame for study participants' negative views of couples breaking the mold.

"We reasoned because men are expected to be in a position of power over women, couples in which the woman is verbally dominating the man would be rated more harshly than couples that adhere to the traditional role,"

The so-called "scientists" are wrong!! The dominant make and submissive female has nothing to do with "gender stereotypes" or "traditional roles" - it is The Natural Order Of Things... http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=50480

whether or not some of us or all of us believe it is the natural order of things, that still doesnt change the fact that "stereotypes" is what led these opinions negatively on the "untypical" relationship

you go into a store and take a handful of people, poor, rich, ugly, gorgeous...i personally think they all have the same opinion based on what we are accustomed to knowing to be "appropriate"

..what i WILL disagree with though is that by being more "verbal" than your partner you show more dominance. IMO being more verbal means you havent gotten your point across from the beginning. you shouldnt have to verbalize EVERYTHING
