Gaslighting is the most annoying/frustrating. Love-bombing is probably the worst because it is a sign of a lot of really bad sh1t to come in a matter of weeks/months.

Once you are an adult, a man and a woman are never truly "friends" in the true sense of the word. For a couple reasons. One, a woman will never sacrifice anything for you. As men, we share a code of respect and integrity. If my best friend does me a solid in any way, I know that I owe him and...

Sounds like you are in a good head space with the whole thing. If you aren't in the right dynamic with your wife, are you staying with her purely for financial or child reasons? I would just divorce and move on personally - but I know everyone is different.

Great observation. I would also expand this outside of online "dating" to social media in general creating this toxicity for women. A woman can make a video of her laying on the beach and get 300 likes and endless comments from thirsty, desperate men telling her how gorgeous she is (even if she...

Ricky - Are you divorced then or are you just seeing women on the side? Just curious. While wives/LTRs don't LIKE it, I think it keeps them honest for you to always have some women in the background that you talk to/talk to you and that are clearly "available" to you. Doesn't mean you would...

OP, I won't belabor what everyone else has already told you. This woman is quite clearly Cluster B and horrible for your mental health. Cluster B women become like drugs. The ups and the downs can be addicting and your mind can get absorbed into the cycle of having this mental upheaval to...

Never settle. That includes for the "nice" girl. You see this advice sometimes on here (never from me). "If you want an LTR you're better off with the HB 6.5 or 7 who will be happy to be with you versus the HB 8-8.5 who is a challenge because she has so many options." All women are a pain in the...

Would I "date" a girl like this? Yes. Would I turn a girl like this into an LTR? No. You need consistent sexual stimulation to any type of drawn out relationship work. Clearly, the fact you are here asking everyone this is evidence enough for me this isn't going to work for you long term if...

I think @zekko nailed what most of us think when we think "social circle." It doesn't mean you 3-4 best friends ala Seinfeld but rather the greater whole of connections your friends have altogether and who runs across each other at social events. I have gotten involved with a few women in this...

Brother, never ask a woman for advice in picking a chick up. That is like asking a fish the best way to catch it with your pole. Doesn't matter who it is - your mom or otherwise (and you two must have a way different relationship than I do with my mom; would never want her aware of my...

I agree that if you can resist masturbation then do so. But at the same time, it is the lesser of two evils if you are feeling tempted to talk to your ex. In the meantime, I would pass on the old plate. She likely will make you jump through a lot of hoops (drama) to get back what you had. Turn...

Social media is like a drug for the reason you describe. An even slightly above average chick can post a picture of her doing some mundane task and get 100+ likes and 10+ messages from thirsty guys and she gets her validation rush. It is sickening to be honest.

Good post. You make a good point that a lot of SS posters are at different points. Some are married and miserable and want to know what to do to get a spark back. Some are just divorced and trying to get back on their feet. And some want to fvck as many chicks as possible but lack the ability...

I thought the same thing. Hot women are the absolute WORST when it comes to needing validation and needing it from a lot of different sources (different men). They are hot chicks. Their entire existence is built around how they look. This chick that the OP is salivating over sounds no different...

I can't imagine why this would ever come up in a casual dating scenario. If you are in a committed LTR where she discloses she really wants kids and wants to know if you want the same that is different. If you are just casually dating, there is literally no reason to ever disclose the...

I think Option C is going to be what jives with most of the men here including myself. We are discussing this in a vacuum of course where all other things are the same -- but let's be honest, that isn't realistic. This single 34 year old with no kids probably has loads of bad LTR experience...

The RM was a great read. Definitely more verbose than it needed to be in sections, but it definitely drove home a lot of things that I think a lot of us KNOW about women even before reading it but don't maybe completely acknowledge. I know nothing about Rollo outside of him writing that book...

This really comes down to why OP "assumed" this would be a 1 on 1 meeting. I don't think that is something you just assume - especially if a woman is asking you to an event. Normally speaking, rarely does a woman directly ask a man out on a 1 on 1 date. It happens, albeit very rarely. I would...

Brother, how you choose to interpret my posts is completely up to you. I really couldn't care less. Your MO since joining this site has just been to be a contrarian towards almost everything the established posters have to say. If you don't find the advice helpful, it likely means your...

OP has been here almost three years and, if I recall, is in his 30s. He likely isn't going to change. He has some skill in attracting women but constantly prefers to put blinders on once he has a relationship with them if his posts are any indication. I don't think he's going to change.
