"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I find it amusing how guys allow themselves to identify signs of a bad girlfriend, yet bash women for doing the same of bad boyfriends. Also, in regards to “feminist propaganda”, always reject philosophical arguments and rather take a look at the facts and decide from there. The list was a good list and I agree with Wyldfire. Sure, saying to avoid men who have no friends may seem unfair, but through my own experiences and observations people who have no friends do and say things which repel others, like those “very honest” people who are “straight shooters” and will “tell people what they need to hear” are actually asswholes; that the people who have a hard time trusting people because their friends “stab me in the back” are in fact asswholes who do things which violate trust. It’s like the classic Fiona Apple lyrics which go “You fondle my trigger then you blame my gun.”
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Anyway going back to the original post, obviously if you build attraction and make her cooch wet this b!tches "advice" to other self entitled Western women goes straight out the window but still that has nothing to do with just how wrong it is and the nerve of this b!tch.




Done.
No, I didn't say bad things about him. I defended myself against all the things he would say about me, though. He screwed up so many times with the kids and I can't even count the amount of times I convinced and coaxed the kids to give him another chance. I stopped doing that the day he told my daughter that the day my fiance died (my kids adored him) was the happiest day of his life and he celebrated his death. After that I stopped making any effort at all to help him with the kids. They hate him of their own volition...and he has earned that contempt a hundred times over.

Just because there are some men who do get unfairly screwed over, it doesn't mean there aren't plenty of guys out there whose bitterness and bad behavior brings it all upon themselves.

I am starting to agree with Wyld more and more these days (don't get no swelled head or anything just because some random person agrees with you).
Why would you agreeing with something that is right make my head swell? If you agree with something it shouldn't matter who wrote it...just be true to YOUR beliefs. I honestly am not someone whose ego can or will be boosted by anyone here agreeing with me. My ego is quite big enough all on it's own. :D

My fiance was an alpha. My ex husband was psychotic. I was 18 and went slumming the first time around. I didn't know what I was doing back then. Thankfully, I do now.

The article is complete garbage unless you're a woman that's planning on getting married. Are you a woman who's getting married? Me neither, so it doesn't apply to my dating life. I mean if a girl has no friends, or is financially irresponsible, would I sleep with her? Sure, why not, it's not like I'm looking for a lifetime partner.

And what's this thing about animals? Not everyone's an animal person, and most people are pretty selective. Have you ever dated a chick who had a pet that you simply couldn't help but hate, be it an annoying cat or a dumb yappy dog? I'm sure no one can like all the animals (unless he's a hippy). :p

This article is a laughable and the person who wrote it is an idiot.
