Knowing ur the bad ass man u r....would u marry for cash...I met some girls who would. Are guys any different?
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
Did you get some sort of sweet settlement deal out of it?Bible_Belt said:Would you marry for money?
I did. And I think I am the only divorced guy on here who does not regret getting married.
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.
It was more like a sweet marriage deal. Her parents own a resort hotel in the Caribbean. They paid our rent for years. I qualified for student loans due to being married, at 21 I would otherwise have not. She got a green card and vastly reduced college tuition. And they flew us down to see them at Christmas.zekko said:Did you get some sort of sweet settlement deal out of it?
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.

Lol this. The only men getting screwed over in divorce are the ones foolish enough to provide for a woman.It was more like a sweet marriage deal. Her parents own a resort hotel in the Caribbean.
