    Broke up with my girlfriend, was this message mean?

    True. But another angle they take is to gas light the entire situation into something it isn't. She may have been a huge b1tch to you for no reason and you got tired of it. "Well, you deserved it for the way you look at girls when we go out. I bet you're actually cheating on me aren't you!?" See...

    Masculine & Feminine Energy

    And one of the main problems with our society these days is that most men's masculine energy is now considered "toxic." It is suppressed and society wants us to feel that it is "wrong" to have a lot of these qualities. Further, we are told men and women are equal and the same. When in fact it...

    When does it get better?

    First, please take a look at the No Contact thread. Understand that right now your brain chemistry is completely screwed up and thinks this woman you just ditched is this angel that you will never be able to replace. It isn't true. Unfortunately, time is generally speaking the only thing that...

    Study: Romantic Relationships turn women off more than men

    It’s a red flag whether you want to believe it or not. Yes, some women are legitimately abused or cheated on. Most of the time, however, it’s some story they’ve concocted to elicit sympathy for themselves while at the same time trying to make the ex look like a huge piece of sh1t. And usually...

    Study: Romantic Relationships turn women off more than men

    That and I’d say about 75% will claim either some type of bogus abuse or cheating from the ex. One of the two. If a woman tells me this happened in one of her past relationships I automatically have her relegated to plate status at best. And I acknowledge sometimes it’s legitimate - most times not.

    Study: Romantic Relationships turn women off more than men

    I honestly don’t find this article surprising in the least. We men are the actual romantics. Hence why we need the red pill to wake up to women’s true nature. Women are all about their own security. Men want to provide it and think they need to do the whole white knight in shining armor thing...

    Looks is everything

    Looks are part of the equation and important. But everything? Not even close. The older you get the more important social proof/influence becomes. I can pull good looking women now much better than I did 10 years ago when I looked more youthful and had bigger muscles. The only time looks trumps...

    How can I stop putting the focus on women?

    Agree with the takes in here. Here is the thing though. We are wired to want to fvck women and fvck as many of them as we can. It is natural. So I wouldn't feel bad that you are proud of how you look after you bust your ass in the gym and can't wait to use that to attract women. It would be...

    Overanalyzing or what?

    OLD are the easiest lays if you are decent looking to very good looking. It is low hanging fruit and the women typically are damaged. Cold approach you will pull overall younger and hotter. You are already young, but that is more important to old guys like me ha. Otherwise, there is social...

    Overanalyzing or what?

    Honestly, I think you did fairly well outside of the balls comment. The thing you have to remember about cold approach is that you usually are going to strike out no matter how good looking and suave you are. Your success rate is going to be low. If you are getting numbers/dates out of 10% of...

    Overanalyzing or what?

    OP, You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. You'll never see them again so who cares how it turned out. Yes, the balls comment was a little clunky and probably a bit too forward (at least for my style). Discretion/innuendo is typically more sexy than putting something out in their face. As...

    FR - " but you dont even know me"

    I will push back a bit on the bar bit. I met my last LTR at a bar (more upscale bar -- not a local watering hole). Clubs I will agree with. They are very loud and basically only geared for SNLs at most.

    Upcoming Coffee Date

    You sound like you are already putting far too much stock into this woman. About the most that can be said before a date is how good a woman looks. The fact she is also in government means nothing. The fact she is from another culture really doesn't mean anything one way or another when it comes...

    Providing for Women

    Agree. We men are natural "fixers" and want to try to make things work again that aren't working as well or at all. The problem is women aren't wired this way. Your capitulating to her bad behavior to her is your admitting that you were in the wrong. Thus, your "good" deeds are looked at as an...

    FR - " but you dont even know me"

    I agree with @BackInTheGame78 You had two options as to the end point of your night after your initial opening. Either you focused on closing her that night OR you needed to keep it minimal, get her number, and ask her out 1 on 1 at a later date. You essentially overstayed your welcome by...

    Is there a way to stop women from wanting to live with me?

    This is the natural step for any woman to take who wants your STR/LTR to progress. She will insist on the move in. It is similar to the discussion about becoming "exclusive." You can essentially stave it off for a period of time -- how long will depend on the woman. But if you continually...

    Providing for Women

    This is my experience (unfortunately). No matter how much I remain the "leader" or "maintain frame" (two buzz phrases around here that mean more in early stage dating and less in very long term LTRs), there are a lot of elements out of your control when it comes to LTRs and how the woman reacts...

    Where are these "other guys" meeting LTR material women--The Million dollar question we all have!

    If you are speaking of LTRs, the three main components that go into a woman's decision are the following and in this order: 1. Social proof (connections and ability to influence others) 2. Money 3. Looks Looks are least important here, but they do still matter. Looks matter the most in the...

    Social set - girl gets enthusiastic then turns flaky

    "I felt the initial warm vibe cooling." There was never a vibe, brother. This woman sees you as an orbiter who invited her to a social event where she can look for a man who she deems worthy of her interest. That isn't you. Her actions told you all you needed to know. If you have interest in...

    Anyone else regressed?

    We men are human. Ultimately, we go through phases in our lives where we have "off" days. Sometimes many of those all right in a row and it becomes off months. When that happens we don't perform as well at work, our relationships, and with women. It is just part of the human experience - but you...
