"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

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
