The man provides and protects.
"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.
Too many men vainly take credit for a woman's high-interest, to their own peril

"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.

My mother wears the pants in my home. If a man is not working and expects the woman to work, and provide AND respect him and give him sex on demand while he watches TV all day and grows a bear-gut, then I guess that would be motherly. (just kidding)
The man puts the food in the fridge, but the woman prepares the meal in the fridge. Empty fridge man's fault. Full fridge but no food is woman's fault. I get that.Danger said:
If you don't have work or a good job, then marriage is the worst experience in my limited experience. My marriage in the past crashed badly because of issues like that. Allot of people avoid marriage altogether, like the plague, if they can't fund it. No money in a marriage equals a disaster. If you have a real woman that would go homeless with you and live on the streets with you then you've got a keeper. Most women are not like that.

And if woman took away nurturing, sex and femininity then what?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

well one of em did. It's worthless at that point and staying connected will tank your masculinity and confidence.

When my oneitis dumped me she posted a quote meme on her facebook...
From the Russian phrasing... "Find a happy man, and wipe that stupid smile from his face"

It seems as good as every hardnosed player here has an origin story of what experiences made them that way.

actually this is more correct than it might suggest on the surface.
Women hate having options and hate thinking about them. A baby solves these issues for her... its why she goes from dating a great HB8 SMV guy to getting knocked up by the chubby HB5 stable beta who is childless, has a stable career and owns his own house.
