"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.

Women Now Paying for Their Own Engagement Rings

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

What does the woman do for the man???? Buying a girl a ring doesn't prove schitt. A wedding ring is an outdated materialistic symbol that women use so they can run off and impress their stupid girl friends.

and I've never seen a ring plug a hole! ;-)

Seems pretty interesting to me. This is very strange.

Feminism seemed like a great idea (emancipation of women) but the ramifications were unseen and were overwhelmingly negative for men.

Perhaps the balance will begin to right itself.

Engagement ring was like a contract that this women is owned now by the specific man , in these days when there is always a change to breakup , rings become just a sign of the relationship status of the person , just like FB relationship status .

Engagement rings were once "contracts" between man and wife. A sign to all other dudes that she was taken.

They'd agree to get married, and they'd buy the ring.

Contrary to hollywood, marriage was rarely about pure romance. It was much more of a business decision, (not completely, but more so than people would like to admit) at least in western society.

Then the diamond industry came up with the idea of the guy "surprising the girl" with the ring.

Guys shopping by themselves would spend twice as much, than if they went shopping with their wives to be.

The typical beta swallowed this new meme (you're a MAN if you're romantic, and surprise your girl with a ring) hook, line and sinker.


I would suspect that the growing trend of girls buying their own rings is a sign that girls don't want to feel obligated, even if they're married.

grrrrl power, and all that.

I suppose the takeaway from this is that if your girl starts talking about buying her own ring, because she's so independent, head for the fucking hills.

what does it matter who buys it if they're getting married and hitching finances anyway?
