Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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.
I don't agree with people comparing marriage to prostitution. I know this is de riguer with the PUA circle, but it's not a fair comparison. The purpose of marriage has always been to create a family. The purpose of prostitution is to blow your load. How is that a comparison?elite7 said:would u consider getting married a form of prostitution how bout the new sugardaddy cougar trend
Marriage is only prostitution if your wife is happier that you are dead than alive, so she can collect your estateelite7 said:would u consider getting married a form of prostitution how bout the new sugardaddy cougar trend
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Under that definition, players are also johns.Rogue said:Prostitution and girlfriends and marriages have different purposes and different emotional magnitudes but there is still an exchange in the sexual economy. Payment of sex in prostitution is front-end loaded, relationships and marriages are back-end loaded. Even "free" sex is often not free when opportunity costs are factored. I have yet to be able to semantically separate marriage from prostitution under the classical legal definition of "the act or practice of being available for sex acts with another person in return for something of value."
