    Spinning plates when you're a natural AFC

    I'll guess I'll put it this way: I'm not ready to be exclusive with somebody after only four dates. I feel like it takes several weeks of dating somebody to get a good feel for their personality and decide if you're compatible and want to be an item. So I think it's unrealistic on her part to...

    Spinning plates when you're a natural AFC

    Basically the HB7's mistake on her end was to ask. I do think four dates and sex is way too soon to think about becoming exclusive or becoming "official." And I have been busy - I recently got a promotion and a 48 percent increase on my salary at work, but that means I'm working longer hours...

    Spinning plates when you're a natural AFC

    My goal would be to have a girlfriend again at some point, at least a woman that is quality relationship material. And I like what you said about being a good man. I don't want to use people. I've been on the receiving end of that and it's not fun. I think game is just as much, if not more so...

    Spinning plates when you're a natural AFC

    Spinning plates is not something that comes easy to me. I am basically somebody that is trying to overcome my AFC habits and behaviors. I'm a natural AFC. Actually for the longest time I was an omega male. Never got laid, never went on dates. Finally in my mid twenties I looked in the mirror and...

    Should you ever get back with a girl after a breakup?

    I know of three "successful" reconciliations: - a friend of mine dated her now-husband seriously. They got to the looking at rings together stage and she was expecting a proposal. Then his dad died, and his grief over that, combined with cold feet, and he dumped her. They got back together...

    Male 8s

    Couldn't agree more. It's not completely about looks. If you screen people out solely on arbitrary things like height, you're probably going to be really inflexible and stupid in other areas of your life. You have to be flexible about your preferences. I prefer blondes, but an attractive...

    male-directed shaming tactics used in the dating game

    I think it all depends on your options. An omega male that can't get laid in a brothel will get one-itis for any girl that makes eye contact with him, even if she's hideous. A male that is the equivalent of an HB7 will be happy with a quality woman on his level or above. The male equivalent of...

    male-directed shaming tactics used in the dating game

    It wasn't THAT great. She had a great rack and a relatively flat stomach, but her facial attractiveness was mitigated by the quality of her skin from all the smoking.

    male-directed shaming tactics used in the dating game

    Yes, it is insane. I totally get that emotions play a role in who we choose to mate with. Not even men make completely pragmatic and logical decisions in dating, but I think most guys for long-term purposes will take the 7 that is a quality chick over a 9 that is flaky or entitled or whatever...

    male-directed shaming tactics used in the dating game

    Not long ago I had a first date with this woman: 32 years old, still a HB7 at her age. Things seemed to be going well, and I was thinking to myself "I wouldn't mind seeing her again." We seemed to be hitting it off. Then she says "I'll be honest, I'm just not feeling a romantic connection." We...

    Embarrassing problem

    I would post an ad on craigslist or be extremely up front in an okcupid or pof profile. Let them know you're a virgin and need to get laid. As long as you're not completely hideous, there's bound to be a subset of women that would be willing to take your virginity and "train" you.

    What did YOU do to ruin the relationship?

    Uh no. The only men who can manage a BPD long-term have some form of Narcissistic Personality Disorder themselves. The NPD and the BPD feed each other's emptiness. And just because it lasts doesn't mean it works. There are some relationships and marriages that don't end because the people in...

    What did YOU do to ruin the relationship?

    Cheating is never justified. If a woman cheats instead of first leaving an exclusive relationship where her needs are not being met, then she's low quality. I think it's naive and extremely simplistic to say that you are always to blame if your partner cheats. People don't necessarily cheat...

    Unplugging from The Matrix - Confusion, Fear and Anxiety

    Okay, hopefully this five-month thread will drop off again. I didn't bump it. To be honest, I don't really enjoy discussing this girl and failed relationship anymore. It's something that still hurts but that I prefer to keep it to myself these days. At a certain point it just seems pathetic to...

    Unplugging from The Matrix - Confusion, Fear and Anxiety

    I agree with this: It's been 18 months now. I would say that coming on to this board 13 months after this relationship ended to pine, yearn and agonize over a woman that is not quality relationship material is beta. However, I cannot take ownership over the demise of this relationship...

    S**t test? What was this?

    Let's just say you called it better than anybody in this thread when you said this: Sometimes you have to learn the hard way that it's better to spin plates. Bullet dodged. She is thankfully out of the picture.

    how do you look at someone who cheats?

    No sh*t it isn't. Calm down, it's just a joke. I have friends that live in Fayetteville and I've been there several times. Anybody who has spent any time at all in the state knows it has more in common with other college towns like Lawrence, Kansas than it does, oh I don't know, Pine Bluff.

    how do you look at someone who cheats?

    Arkansas has sent a stern message: if you're gonna cheat on your wife, do it with a cousin or a niece, not your floozy that you put on the team payroll. "As a Razorbacks fan, I was disappointed to learn that Bobby Petrino cheated on his wife and then lied about it." - Bill Clinton

    Low point, stuck

    Church and internet dating are both good options. A lot of women go to church trying to meet men. There are singles ministries. Just don't get with a chick that is too religious. Also, I think online dating has pretty much lost its stigma at this point. I would venture to guess that after mutual...

    how do you look at someone who cheats?

    If Petrino keeps his job, it'll be because his success as the coach will outweigh any personal disgust for his behavior. But if he doesn't survive, it's because he demonstrated poor judgment. He put his mistress on the team's payroll and didn't come clean to the Athletic Director until after the...
