"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.

There's a subreddit called Married Red Pill (I won't link it here, but it's easy to find if you're interested).
Its wiki and sidebar contain a large amount of advice focused on helping men revive and maintain attraction within a marriage.
Much of what is recommended there seems to run counter to what is commonly promoted as a "healthy relationship."


Despite that, I've been reading the subreddit for quite a while, and I've noticed that many of the ideas discussed there appear to work in practice. Since the community is aimed specifically at men, the focus is on changing male behavior rather than trying to change women.


What's interesting is that the advice seems to have IRL results. I've known several friends and acquaintances who have applied some of the principles and reported improvements in their marriages and LTR's, where the mainstream relationship advice or "couples counseling" failed.

I'm curious what you think about the ideas being discussed there and if those are good things to learn as a man.
To me, it seems somewhat like an updated version of SoSuave, but focused on maintaining attraction and relationship dynamics within the LTR rather than dating.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

SoSuave is good at debating topics and finding list if things you should not do. And also list of what you should be. MRP tries to give a roadmap and plan how to make progress. Use the two together to get a balanced view. Two or more things can be true at the same time.
