    Can you game a woman player?

    A few years ago I decided to game a player chick. She was a former model and a self confessed player. She prided herself on getting guys obsessed with her, but I figured I'd always see through her games and be one step ahead. For the most part I was. I had the upper hand for some time just by...

    Alcohol does kill your brain cells

    I agree with this. I'm mid 40s and I'm constantly mistaken for being 10 (or more) years younger. I've had 18 and 19 year olds hitting on me and are shocked to find out my age. I've always believed it's because I have gone most of my life without drinking.

    Any advice on quick thinking

    Thanks for the responses guys. Good to know I'm not alone in this and I'll take all the advice on board. I usually do well in a date setting, sat down engaging in one on one conversation, but I've always been lousy at cold openers. I work in hospitality so it's always been a great place to meet...

    Any advice on quick thinking

    I have missed so many opportunities with gorgeous women all because I wasn't quick enough on the uptake or didn't know what to say/do in the moment. I have lost count of the times I look back at an interaction and think "If only I'd said/done that..." I'm not a nervous person, but I am more of...

    What's the point in all of this

    I was into my 30s before I learned this lesson and only after many painful mistakes. But it was one of the best things to happen to me. It freed me from outcome dependence, from overthinking and strategizing and I learned to embrace the present moment and cherish individual experiences a lot more.

    Why you Must Block her Social Media after a Breakup

    If there’s one thing more humiliating than self-pity and breakup drama, it’s when you do it publicly. Not only will you lose her respect, you’ll lose the respect of all your online friends and followers. They’ll see exactly why she needed to get away from you. A lot of couples play hurtful...

    What's the point in all of this

    What you're saying is true. Relationships rarely last for life. Most fail within a year or two. But to echo some of the advice given here, the key is to go into every date or relationship knowing this fact. Enjoy the experience for what it is, rather than where you want it to lead or...

    Really need a man’s advice. He broke up w/ his ex. Got with me. Got back w/her. They broke up and now he’s back w/ me. Has he developed feelings?

    Dating someone with ex drama is like juggling a hot coal. Let it go until it cools down otherwise you're going to get burned. After a break up there's often a desperate race to see who can move on the fastest. It's partly as a crutch to help them get through the pain of the break up (very...

    Are my looks holding me back?

    Being good looking is overrated for men. I'm generally considered an attractive guy, I'm tall, in good shape and get a lot of attention and compliments from girls. That said, nearly all the girls who rejected me and all my exes who dumped me have ended up with guys of below average looks. And...

    Books and movies to talk about with women

    I'd love to talk books with women, but it's so rare I find any of them give a damn...unless it's celebrity autobiographies or Dan Brown. :rolleyes:

    How do you really get out of negative thinking?

    This sounds exactly like me in my 20s. I'd always overthink everything. I'd analyse social interactions, try to figure out the best thing to say next and was constantly anticipating rejection. I had a severe inferiority complex. In general I'd get overwhelmed by my negative thoughts and have...

    How to Be a Gentleman... But Not a Nice Guy

    Great insights. I've been noticing the past few years that more women are attracted to and even turned on by gentlemanly behaviour. So many guys are playing bad boy or wannabe gangsta roles these days that it's losing its appeal and everyone can see right through it. Whereas class and charm are...

    Alcohol does kill your brain cells

    I grew up watching alcohol destroy and eventually kill people I loved, so I spent most of my life avoiding it. People would act so condescending towards me or treat me like a pariah. I even had girls reject me because I didn't drink. But while I've been ageing like a fine wine, many of those...

    The film "Her" accurately predicted that people would develop relationships with technology.

    I've become quite obsessed with AI lately and fascinated where it could be going. I watched Her a few nights ago for the second time and saw it from a different perspective. Originally, I felt pity for the character, sympathised with his loneliness and desperation, even judged him as a loser...

    Why is it ok to insult somebody as an Incel?

    It's not a woman's fault they're not attracted to whiny, self entitled bitches. The Incel movement is just an excuse to blame others for their failures and inadequacies.

    Should Tinder be Banned?

    A lot of the blame has to fall on all the low value males for being so ******* desperate, worshipping all the women on there, boosting their egos and making them feel like queens. However, I definitely think beauty filters should be banned. At least more guys will start seeing these knackered...

    Do any of you wish you could have a certain ex back?

    There are two in particular I really miss to this day and I often wish we could reconnect. But then I realise what I actually miss is the honeymoon period of that relationship. Whereas the final months were miserable and stressful. Even if we recaptured some of that early excitement, it would...

    Why No Contact is your Only Option after a Breakup

    So true and brilliantly put. Many of my past girlfriends appeared loving, affectionate and attentive to me for the majority of the relationship. We would have big arguments because I messaged other girls or liked an Instagram pic, or was a bit of a **** to her, but they always forgave me. But as...

    Why No Contact is your Only Option after a Breakup

    I'm with you on this. A woman can't use, abuse or cheat on a guy unless he allows her to. Yes she might be a horrible excuse for a human being and that's on her, but if he refused to walk away that's entirely on him. Too many people seek scapegoats for their problems and blame others for...
