It's true, it takes strength to walk away. But sometimes it's the right thing to do. Certainly I should've done it more often. But partly its lazyness as well.

I think you can walk away and communicate that clearly, it's just not an overt dump - although it might turn into one if she doesn't fall into line.

Excellent post. Top drawer.

I think I would rather do without in that case.

I trust its not Rich Cooper!

I think the wall is older than is generally agreed in the manosphere. Most women in their 30s and 40s still get lots of attention although, for most, that's drying up by late 40s - as they dry up. Literally. In other words, the menopause is the wall for the vast majority of women. So, mainly...

I must admit I've never fancied it either.

Some good stuff there, but a couple of things I'd take issue with: First, I'd go for a Prince of Wales suit rather than a black one. Black is very harsh and can make you look washed out if you're a White guy. Plus, a dark navy or dark grey can do almost everything a black suit can with the...

I agree. It's strong work.

Generally, I think that's right. I've probably had more problems with female bosses than males, but my current boss is a woman and she's really good. I can't fault her really. Instinctively I do feel more comfortable with a man in charge though - and so do many women, I think.

You're both right in a sense. The age of marriage has risen significantly over time in the West. In the UK, the average age of first marriage (for women) has risen from about 23 in 1970 to 31 or 32 today. Which is a big rise, but still significantly pre-wall. ps. To me, the wall doesn't...

Good post. Discipline and routine are underrated habits.

It's a very good post from the OP, but frankly I don't find this story surprising because, in my experience, women move on much more quickly than men - and I don't think that's just a modern thing, I think it's always been the case. There might be a few tears initially but she'll move on soon...

I've been in this situation with my former wife, our marriage was deeply dysfunctional and she was truly toxic. Can't describe her otherwise. Basically, there were three reasons I didn't get out: hope, laziness, and fear. Hope - I wanted things to improve and sometimes I thought they were...

It's a good point. We all get it wrong sometimes, but it's about learning from mistakes.

You should've asked her to leave in the morning. Kicking a woman out at 3.00 am doesn't look good. It's not rational and potentially puts her in danger. As with most things, there are better and worse ways of telling somebody to get out.

I did this for a brief period in the early 1990s when I was in a Chippendale style show, in between being a student and getting my career going. The first couple of times it was a buzz but that wore off quite quickly and I soon packed it in (did it about 5-6 times in total). It was, as a few...

Nice list from the OP. Number 3 is a good one. One-night stands are, I agree, generally overrated. Other than being an ego trip, what's the point? Number 6 is food for thought. That may well be right.

This is a good point, I used to be the same and frankly it gets you nowhere. Nowadays, I'm not that bothered what people think of me. Most of them anyway.

Good list. The changing nature of the labour market is a big thing I think. More jobs for women at all levels means increasingly women 'spread themselves too thin' inasmuch as they try to do everything - education, employment, marriage, family, home life, and, of course, keeping in touch with...
