"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Would any of you guys honestly ever get married? I can't get ever see my myself getting married. And the reason this is, is because I just can't see myself staying with one woman my whole life. I mean even if I had kids with a woman and had a whole family of my own, I still probably wouldn't get married. I can see myself as the guy who has kids, lives with his girlfriend and even helps take care of the kids. But marriage? Never, just because I couldn't see myself staying with one woman my whole life. Haha, my children will probably even have a lot of stepbrothers and stepsisters because of that, same father, different mother. A quote from Jay Z sums it all up "Me give my heart to a woman, not for nothin' never happen', I'll be forever mackin'". Even if I calmed down with a woman and started raising a family, I still wouldn't marry her. So yeah, do any of you guys see yourselfs getting married?
 

"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.

You're only 18. You have your whole life ahead of you. Eventually, in your later years you will find a woman who you would not mind marrying.

Example; You know how you have 1 best friend. You guys do everything together and hang out almost everyday for years.

Well you might meet a girl one day who is like that best friend. Only difference is the love/attraction and sex. Aslong as she meets the other needs and is wifey material. Then, you might decide to settle down.

Other than that, your young so enjoy life.

After reading stuff on Nomarrige.com, I don't foresee it in the next fifteen years.

Likely not again. As I say, the only woman out there I might marry would see marriage to be as pointless as I do.
 

"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.

A Misconception about Marriage

*** The SEARCH function. The seldom used but very powerful forum function. ***
Yeah, but that's in the Mature Man forum. Besides, I'm just asking peoples opinions here, that topic is what it is, telling people a misconception about marriage. So why would you link to that when these are actually 2 different topics? Here I'm simply asking people if they would ever get married or not. So before you go on a minimodding rage, understand the topic you are minimodding.

Two things:
  1. If you'd read the thread, you'd see that it does answer your question.
  2. The people who give feedback are guys who are married, were married, or guys trying to get married. Heaven forbid that you'd get any insight from from guys who just didn't become of legal age to get married.

Yes, I will more than likely marry again. My first marriage failed, but I take full responsibility for choosing the wrong mate.

If you were to get married one day make sure it is someone that brings the best out of you and helps build you up and vice versa. Otherwise, just stay single.

Marriage is not for everyone, and you don't have to conform to the idea of it.

It is truly sad to me to see so many people on this forum that are so afraid of entering long term relationships or marriage. I will definitely get married some day, starting a family of my own is something I look forward to. just because you're previous relationships failed (probably with you getting burned) doesn't mean that ALL relationships are doomed for eternity. Just because some girls cheat and screw around doesnt mean that all of them do. And most chicks who screw around now are just doing it because they are young.

anyways, im sick of people trying to saw love and relationships are pointless. In my opinion, that should be the ultimate goal when it comes to women.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I was married for a short time. I was totally stupid. Objectively speaking, she was not a good person. It was hell on Earth.

Would I do it again? Yes, but she had better be damned special.

I was married seven years. It was all right for a while. I still talk to my ex-wife.

Marriage is actually much less of a commitment than kids. Marry a dumb b!tch and you can just divorce her and go on with your life. Knock one up, though, and she can be a complete raving b!tch, but will still be a part of your life because she is your baby momma.

I have a half-dozen exes who would marry me, but that is no big deal. Marriage is really for women anyway. My current gf happens to be my very first gf from high school. She is convinced that she is lucky to be with me. She actually thinks us having sex is her getting lucky. My last ex is a little hotter and a lot freakier, but she has an attitude about sex that I don't like. Even though I had more sex with her than anyone, she still thinks of it as work, like a currency to pay her way. That attitude is a turn-off to me. The current girl never says a cross word, is never b!tchy to me at all, and has never said no in the bedroom. She sleeps at my house about every other day. She is recently divorced as well, and we are obviously on a path toward marriage. I am in no rush and have a lot of other things to get done first, but I would not mind marrying her.

“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.

Hey champ.

Without a kiss or a date under your belt, I wouldn't worry about marriage just yet. And I think you need to speed up before you "calm down".Learn to run before you can walk eh?

And as for the Jay-z quote. . . nah, doesn't quite work on you.

Don't criticize him WesCott. She isn't worthy of his hand in marriage until she qualifies herself in beating his high score in RockBand. It isn't the fact that he hasn't gotten a kiss or a date. Get your sh*t straight.

Yeah, but not for another 15 years the most. I think deep down we all aspire to have offsprings and have them make us proud as they develop, but I'm still only 18; unlike some of my other friends I'm going to worry about that only after I figure my life out and have a steady lifestyle.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
