Anyone who has kids (babies or young kids) that old is both an idiot and irresponsible. There's a good chance they'll die before the kid even becomes an adult.Desdinova said:Paul McCartney is.
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.

This isn't something that should EVER be done. If a person is 60 years old and having babies they're irresponsible. Who is going to change the diapers of the toddler if the parent develops alzheimer's and needs someone to change THEIR diapers?Egoist said:don't you always complain when people generalize?

The average life expectancy is from 67 to 72 years old...a little longer for women than men. Children should NOT be brought into the world by a parent who is either going to die or be physically or mentally unable to care for those children through 4 years of college. Men who put off having children (if they want kids) until around 50 or older are morons who are putting their offspring at a very high risk of ending up fatherless before they even finish highschool, let alone college.
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'll still be a single mother and the poor kid will grow up without a father.Egoist said:didn't clint eastwood just have one at 70+ with his hottie thirtysomething wife?
nothing wrong with that
better that than a struggling single mom.
No amount of money can "buy" away what the death of a parent does to a young child.Vulpine said:Could you imagine:
*Phone ringing*
Wyldfire: "Hello?"
Clint Eastwood: "Is this Wyldfire?"
Wyldfire: "Yes, it is."
Clint Eastwood: "Would it be okay with you if I had a child with my wife?"
Wyldfire: "Not unless you want to lose my respect."
Clint Eastwood: "Oh, heaven forbid! What was I thinking?! Okay, I won't spread my seed wherever I please just because I am an Alpha Male who will make a kid rich enough to BUY a father when I pass away. Thanks for straightening me out."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Yea, what IS the cutoff age, Wyldfire?Egoist said:don't you always complain when people generalize?

Yes, sadly. This is only natural: all through history those women who looked good (who show signs of fertility and health, that is, such as smooth unblemished skin) would marry early on, then have children and pass on their genes - the genes of women who look fertile and healthy in their teens and twenties. Since noone had kids in their thirties (when most people started dying, in the Stone Age), there would be no natural selection in that age, with only the women who still look good in their thirties passing on their genes.wheelin&dealin said:The truth is that most women age like sh*t! They have no respect for their body and they try to look younger by buying a miracle skin cream rather than working out and eating an optimal diet. For 90% of women it's pretty much down hill after their 25th birthday.

Wyldfire said:Facts:
The average age of menopause is 51.
Women are still able to have children as long as they have eggs and menstruate.
Many women over 30 look as good as, if not better than their younger counterparts
Those are the facts. Anyone who claims otherwise is blowing hot air out their arses.
No, I'm not stating these facts because I am bothered by men my age or older dating younger women. In fact, I couldn't care less what men my age and older do because I don't find those men attractive. As one of those older women who look great...I don't have to "settle" for guys my own age...I get the younger ones.![]()

Freewheelin Frank said:I find older women sexier myself. Its something about their demeanor that makes them attractive to me. How they think and how they carry themselves.
Plus older ladies are much better geared toward my interests and temperment, for the most part. For example I'd have a much easier time finding a 40 year old woman who likes to discuss politics and current events than a 20 year old.
I do, and I'm not ashamed to say it.Latinoman said:But finding a 40 year old woman sexier (when you are 18?)???
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.
