"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Would you date a single mother with kids no matter how many no matter how hot if yes why if no why
 

"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.

Not only would I date her, I'd take her out to the 4 for $4 at Wendy's 4 times a week

Hard pass. Not really a kids person (which aren't mine).

Date? Absolutely not. Have a casual relationship with? Maybe

I'm going to backpeddle. I remember my ex-wife had a daughter in 2014 and I enjoyed her step-daughter's company along with us together as a family. I was doubly devastated by the separation, break-up, divorce because it effected her and I would no longer ever see her again, etc.. and it was nice having a step-daughter like her at that time. She almost seemed more sensible than my ex-wife whose behaviour and attitude basically doomed the marriage. Being 45 years old or older, a "ready-made" family would mean I don't have to worry about changing diapers, or toilet training or feel I have to look for a way younger woman who is in child-bearing age which would severely limit my prospects as I'm getting older unless I get an astronomical SMV boost.

With 2 other guys, no, although having unprotected sex with most women is probably like having a threesome today anyways lol
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

I would walk up to the closest mirror and slap myself 44 times and by the end of the slapping i would realize how pathetic i am and maybe in my misery would i consider smashing her as a consolation prize if she's really hot and is making things easy, but never ever would i date her.
That would be settling rather than self-improving and looking out for my best interest.

Why does the fact that she has kids make her unfvckable if she’s attractive and DTF? I’ve had fun evenings with single mothers, not like I was trying to marry any of them.

Most moms I have met fvck good, but I'm the type of guy if I'm not serious about it I'm not going to lead a single mother on or give her any sex at all, it's never worth the fall out stress, the second there are kids involved coming and going is less favorable, like you tell her you want to meet the kids but that is very serious to me

Sexual relationships with women have 3 phases (I didn't come up with this, just putting my spin on it):

1. The "attraction" or "seduction" phase -- the escalation toward a sexual relationship. This phase may last only an hour or so, or weeks, or months, depending on the woman and the circumstances in which you meet her.

2. The "dating" or "courtship" phase -- when you are having sex with a woman beyond the first sexual encounter. In this phase, you are still unattached and technically single. You're having fun.

3. The "relationship" phase -- the point at which a woman expects emotional validation, if not explicit exclusivity.

So, "dating" to me is phase 2 above. I see no issue dating a single mother. Phase 3 is where I would personally avoid relationships with single mothers, mainly because I don't have kids myself (I fundamentally will not relate to a parent), and I'm not yet at an age where I must realistically expand my dating pool to include single mothers.

Most single moms who are looking for a stepdad won't waste a lot of time on a cad who isn't offering them phase 3. Within that window of phases 1+2, you can be the cad who enjoys a sexual relationship with a single mother as long as you're not being ambiguous about your intentions.

As someone who has an avoidant attachment style and is terrified of intimacy, most women I've dated see the writing on the wall and arrive at the conclusion themselves.

Zero chance. I’ve made the mom mistake a few times ( never actually dated) but screwed around and I found that everything they do... is for the sole purpose of branch swinging and securing their next meal ticket.

If your the potential branch they will lie about everything.. current relationship status, finances, hobbies, kids, goals, expectations.... they try and make the branch feel like they are a unicorn. They are not... and as soon as they latch on you see their true colors and why the two other dudes are no longer around !

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, to each their own and she could potentially be part of a good rotation. However, guys that are on the fence and making the time to create a thread asking for advice if they should date/f*ck/interact with a single mother are not the typical guys living in abundance with lots of options aka guys that can dismiss a woman when necessary. These are the guys that live in scarcity that get overwhelmed by the attention and special treatment they're getting and destined to attach and start rationalizing various serious scenarios with single mothers. I'd say staying away would be the sensible thing to do in a case like that so that would also be my go-to advice since i see single mothers as the most dangerous women on the dating market because of their agenda and honed skills to manipulate men into commiting. A mother of four with multiple fathers just spells trouble all over.

your relationship with women or current girl?
I have not dealt with any other woman since that divorce. With my reputation and type of posts here, what would make you believe I have any relationship with women period or a current girl? You also post in the General Discussions, so you must have seen my other posts around.

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.
