    Providing for Women

    Great post. I don't think I know a single woman under the age of 40 who would agree with your list of priorities though. Almost to a T every single woman I know that I would ask would rank the children ahead of men. And to be frank, I don't necessarily think that in itself is an issue. I do...

    Providing for Women

    Agreed a man's leadership is also important. However, my personal experience, as well as observing others in their marriages, is that you can do most things right including leading and it many times doesn't mean your relationship is immune to the deterioration. Certainly, a man should always be...

    Normal female behavior or red flags?

    Iron sharpens iron as they say. Good to have you back and glad to provide the wake up call. I have needed a kick in the a$$ before too so we aren't any different. I think this place keeps us on our toes even if it is all stuff we have heard before.

    Providing for Women

    I think most men can live with more love and attention going to the children. That isn't an issue I agree. The issue arises when women pour 100% of their effort into being mom, and 0 into being wife. This is a very common occurrence in marriages. I would say that if you aren't dealing with...

    Providing for Women

    Women (and men) aren't raised like this anymore. My mother and father are also as you describe and are still together. There was a working relationship on top of the romantic one. These days, most women are highly self-centered and think the man should just be bending over backwards to make her...

    Providing for Women

    Re: the bolded; not so much it is bullsh1t. It exists, albeit with a short life-span. Women's affection has an end point when it comes to her romantic partners (not with her children, but that is not another story). It is just a matter of where that endpoint lies. Most women's affection will...

    Normal female behavior or red flags?

    @AttackFormation You have been a good poster here in the past. This sounds more like an imposter that has found your account and made this post. The fact you are expending this kind of energy on a woman you haven't even met yet is mind-boggling. Unless you are in some type of committed...

    High Paying Job Drains all my Time

    Generally, jobs that pay really well require a lot of work. This isn't exactly an epiphany. There are some exceptions, sure. But most of us don't just luck into knowing a rich guy who offers a cushy job that pays six figures + while only working 35-40 hours a week. I am also currently doing...

    Why do most of the guys lose themselves in the game and how to avoid that pitfall?

    OP, Most PUA "coaches" are just con artists. Some of the stuff works on low-quality women of course, but you can only fake until you make it so far. I will say that some of the tactics are useful for guys who know next to nothing about dating/pickup at all - but not really much past that point...

    If she calls you a "red flag"

    Always judge a woman based on her actions. Not her words. The playful touching and banter clearly shows she is attracted to your friend. The guy sounds like he has poor skills at picking up on signs of interest because that is about as blatant as 90% of women get without coming right out and...

    What would you do in this situation

    My thoughts in no particular order of importance: 1. In a complete vacuum, the husband does sound like kind of an a$$hole. However, I am guessing there is a lot more to the story than what is being posted here by the woman. I am guessing he has tried to get her to start exercising again in...

    Push and Pull situation: The Lunch

    You lost me at "the wife prepared." You must be referencing a wife over the age of 50.

    The *No Contact* Challenge! ( Read this if you just got dumped)

    Women will look for anything to justify their actions so they can "save face" with the outside world. They are also masters of bending the truth (or outright lying sometimes) to make you sound like a huge a$$ to anyone who will listen. "I had to break up with jamesfromhouston. He was a...

    The *No Contact* Challenge! ( Read this if you just got dumped)

    No - I don't buy that. I do think women will sometimes have "seller's remorse" if you will if the man is doing extremely well after the breakup and begin to put out feelers to him to see if he still cares about her. Maybe a bit more than just bread-crumbing. But the same pain the man feels? Not...

    The *No Contact* Challenge! ( Read this if you just got dumped)

    Women get over breakups much easier than men because women begin the detachment process during the relationship. Generally, they begin "breaking up" with you in their minds months before the actual breakup occurrs. Men aren't wired like this. Men see the break-up conversation as the "end" and...

    Let's talk about INTROVERTS and how the current hypersocial society makes it complicate for them to date

    Sounds like your problem is more mindset than anything else. Everyone wants (and needs) alone time. But if you are consistently getting tired out to the point where you don't want to ride a bus due to too many people that sounds like there is something more at play. Like anything else, you have...

    Let's talk about INTROVERTS and how the current hypersocial society makes it complicate for them to date

    Women are naturally attracted to charismatic and outgoing personalities. Introverts tend to not have those qualities. The good news is that this is more a question of comfort level. Most "introverts" are typically just not comfortably in that role and it is a matter of coming out of the shell so...

    Women do not comprehend apologies. Don’t do it.

    There are a number of posters who have left over the years that have truly left a void. Atom Smasher is one of those guys. His OP here is gold. The older I have gotten and the more women I have interacted with over the years the more I have seen this is 100% true. No, it doesn't mean you can't...

    Guys wtf went wrong, what should i reply to this?

    Once you understand how mercurial women truly are this kind of stuff ceases to be surprising. Her ex showing back up into the picture is the most likely. But there could be a million different things. The main thing is always have multiple women in play. It lessens the impact of any negative...

    OLD vs. Non OLD Approaches

    My notch count would be significantly lower without OLD in play. The quality from cold approach is always far higher. But the lays are much easier with OLD. If you use OLD fairly religiously and aren't hideous to look at you can hook up with a new woman from OLD exclusively I would say at least...
