"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.

This is what women read, or rather, what your daughter might read in what are marketed as "romance novels" or "spicy novels."
You can find a version of the text here. I decided not to publish it because I consider the language "too much," but for your knowledge, it's worth giving it a read. (It was translated from Italian to English.)

So this is what's popular today?
What should we consider content a sane woman should read in bed at night?
Very well, it might entice her to have sex with you, but all these books do influence her mind to make bad decisions.
All these books talk about abused women, toxic things you don't want people to know about, kidnappings, rapes.
Even if they're fantasies, they should stay that way. It's like telling a man to rape a 10- or 11-year-old girl. I don't understand: women can have this content, while for men it's considered pedophilia, or a crime?

I can't understand how any sane woman could be in favor of reading this kind of thing, and moreover, how it's marketed to 12- or 13-year-old girls as "romance novels."
As men, we'd like to hear opinions on this from women like BeExcellent, SegaGenesis, and others on the forum.

We understand that there are some books that feature romance, thrills, and a few steamy scenes, but this seems to go beyond the pale, and women love it, because otherwise they wouldn't have read it.
It seems a bit like porn for us men, but this is much more shocking.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

That seems to be the case of each generation, they seem to get filthier and have dirtier kinks like the previous generations. You can see the evidence of it all in drugged out areas in cities like Philadelphia, New York, Chicago etc where homelessness and druggies runs rampant because of the moral decadence which have taken place over the years.It seems like the best type of women are those who’ve got a serene and peaceful faith guiding them in their lives. You can usually tell who they are with how the peaceful energy they bring in a room, you’ve gotta learn how to scan for their presence and they don’t always look stereotypically beautiful either. I do believe a reformed wh0re can exist, and turn out feminine and a change of character, some of the saints in history who were female were like that and that’s extreme example, why can’t regular women do that but in a smaller and practical scale? lol
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

What has been normalized is its use... A bit like the legalization of a soft drug.

So, teen girls reading romance novels where the words "p-s-y" and "c-c- s-c-ing" appear more often than HIV infections in rural Zambia isn't uncommon... Let's be grateful modern girls are confining themselves to fantasy:

In the not-too-distant past, they were getting knocked up for real, then spending prom night asphyxiating that damned thing in the lavatory 9 months later https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Drexler Rather than snorting lines and getting piss faced off of Jell-O Shots

You have to wonder what’s the new substitute to romance novels these days. Everyone is pretty much adrogynous these days and acting asexual compared to past generations. Things in Social Media, Porn Hub, and trendy magazines have taken a turn for the worse, maybe a cultural shift where it forces Men to get tougher might do some good.
