"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

she is trying to be a good grandmother by calling since her son won't, even if that means going against his wishes or her husbands, just by calling.
she wants to be invited to see her grandchild.
she is probably on a message board somewhere else upset that she wasn't invited because her son messed it all up.
you can raise your kids the best you can, but one day they become adults and you have to let go of their hands and let them go off in the world alone. when they do, and they mess something up, you end up suffering for it.
it might not be her fault he turned out how he did, or it may very well be her fault...
i just know that it could go either way. 1. she is a great grandma who becomes a great asset and ally to you. OR 2. she pretends to be all that, and then takes the baby to his arms, and shuns you when you come to pick up the child.
you just never know how these things will turn out.

just remember that it could go either way .
This is great advice, from the resident mother of the boards.

WilMor, if you become bitter after this I wouldn't be surprised. But is that what you want?

Really once you get a little past this hurdle, you should ask yourself why YOU chose this man. The blame lies with you in that aspect.

And I haven't seen you reply to some of the better questions some posters have asked you. You should, if you want them to keep up with you and your thread, otherwise you come across as one-sided rant woman.
 

"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.
