It's life. Part of it is you are becoming cognizant of these attitudes and part of it is that, the longer people live, the more they rack up in life experiences that turn many of them jaded and bitter. It's damn near impossible to be so jaded and bitter when you're 21 and the whole world is new...

The psychology is this: people magnify the behaviors of others and discount their own. They don't feel the effects of their own behavior because they live in their own skin. You hear people verbalize this all the time when they say things like, "I may not be perfect but..." where they minimize...

You're mistaking being honest/truthful with being open. You don't need to be an open book and give details to someone when the details are not any of their business. Girl -"What did you do last night?" You- "Oh, a bunch of stuff. C'mon let's go or we're gonna be late." So when the girl asks...

All these threads about my ex-wife... I never knew she was THAT popular.

"You are under no obligation to fully disclose any material details until exclusivity or marriage." "It's his prerogative to withhold personal info if he is not in an exclusive relationship" It's one thing not to be under obligation to disclose details, absolutely true. But it's quite another...

Which is why I use a phone script for when a prospect calls, in order to turn that inquiry into an appointment. The goal of the phone call is to get the appointment, not sell my service. Otherwise, without my being purposeful, potential customers will use the phone to obtain information upon...

You sure imagine a lot, don't you? That's because she's a toddler and that's how toddlers learn what's socially appropriate. It's not because of minds being "weak". If anything, that shows how we begin as clean slates and learn many of our behaviors from outside influences. As adults, we're...

Money's important, but living your passions is something money can't buy. Life's too long to be unhappy with it. Truth is, in hindsight, we see that Jimmy married at the wrong time in his life, But yet, this flushed out the wrong woman to be with. It feels lousy to him now, but it will lead to...

She was physically attracted to you and that's why she laughed at your jokes and sat next to you. Then, yes, you did or said some things that lowered that interest and she uttered a semblance of the classic "I have a boyfriend" and that's the signal that her interest is no longer there. If she...

You know, some time ago I was on the plentyoffish forums, and there were so many guys that posted threads about how they were being so "nice" to the girls, what with bringing flowers on the first date, springing for lovely dinners, writing love poems in their first emails to them, and so on...

Actually, it is lying. Lying comes in a few different forms, and the one you're talking about is "lying by omission". From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie "One lies by omission by omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving another person with a misconception. Lying by...

Your actions, "back off and run silent" and "make other plans", "don't be so available at her whims", are what sends the appropriate message while keeping the ball in your court.

I knew someone would make it a generational issue. Actually, I would venture to guess that when language was developed, it was developed by the more mature crowd who had been around a while and had a better idea of how it could best be used efficiently to handle things, while the young'uns...

What exactly is this alleged test about? Do tell.

If it was good, she wouldn't have dumped you. Here's the problem. Even if she were coming back for the reason you suspect, she won't ever forget the reason she dumped you. A woman's memory is truly like an elephant's. They even remember the tablecloth pattern at the restaurant on your first...

It's a tool all right, one that women use to buffer from actually speaking with the man and can use to throw up walls and stalls. Our goal is to contact the gal, speak to her and set up a date, period. We want her on the phone to nail down the details, so she can't later say "Oh, I never got...

I didn't say you were her date. I understood that you weren't. My strong hunch is she probably had posted a personals ad on CL or answered one, and that's where she met this guy, since she's posting her rant about men on CL, in order to communicate her rant to that community of CL men. About...

I'm thinking, the girl has to divert her eyes and attention away from the DVD, or pause it, to text. Same could be said if she answered a call. So I think you're right, she had two choices and purposefully chose the one that didn't require actual contact. Even though the trend now is for women...

My mind set is that if you go ahead and make other plans for the weekend (that do not take her into consideration), you show that you are your own person and not putting your life on hold waiting on her (or anyone else for that matter).

I think you misrepresented yourself to her when she asked you if you were dating any others and you told her not to worry about it. And it seems you deflected boning up again when you told her that the girl she saw you with was just a friend. So, it all added up (and maybe there was more stuff...
