Men rules

I haven't gone over there but judging by what you ladies are saying, I don't think I want to. :nono:

I'm so glad that there are blogs like www.theartofmanliness.com to counteract some of the foolishness that these men are learning.

Reading that list, and having read dating and man advice on a number of forums where women mostly post (including this one) it's no one so many people can't find anybody. People are too busy playing games. No one really wants to date, just come out a winner in this imaginary competition that's going on.

ETA: Actually, I take that back. That thread just proves that ultimately people attract exactly the type of people they want to attract. Everyone has a type, and for some that type is "trouble" plain and simple. Just like women who can't stop racking up baby daddies, some men keep going for women who are loose, overly b!tchy or just difficult. While neither party will admit it, they like having that something to complain about. But again, this only applies to people who enjoy playing the imaginary game. Just had to edit, because I know too many nice couples with genuinely nice guys and sane women to make it seem like everyone should be lumped into one box. The men on that thread are just bitter. But again, there are tons of bitter women on the internet giving advice as well.

I agree with everything you said. I see threads on here where if they were showed to mainly male eyes their comments would mirror how women feel when they see post from mainly male sites.

But see that's the thing, these guys and their "Rules" are so STUPID! I haven't even read the site, but just reading some of the "snippets" makes me think that that particular site is for losers and low-lifes who never really got anywhere with women in the past. :rolleyes: Or who knows..maybe they've been hurt so badly by all the "Hot Chicks" they tried to get with in the past, and now they're just bitter. :perplexed Hmmm......here's a thought, maybe stop trying so hard to get with the "hot chicks", or the shallow girls who are totally OUT of your league and actually go find some REAL nice girls with some REAL substance for a change! :nuts:

"The Rules" for women is about allowing a guy to PURSUE (as is the custom) and knowing your self-worth. It's NOT about trying to make a guy feel bad or to put him down.

These so-called "Rules" for men seem to be some cry-baby man's way of trying to get the "upper hand" in dating with women. The "pseudo" way of becoming the "Alpha Male" type if you will... Almost as if these guys aren't really Alpha Males, they're just trying to ACT like they are. They try to prey on women's insecurities and try to pretend like they're oh-so-cool and "detached" in hopes that the girl will be turned on by his "mysterious" nature etc. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry, this may work on SOME women, but it wouldn't work on me. This would be SUCH a turn-off to me. Maybe this would have worked on me a few years ago when I was younger and more naive, but THESE days?? I just want a really GENUINELY NICE guy. No bull! Just totally himself.

A guy trying to pretend to be ANYTHING other than himself is a huge turn off to me. :hand:

Plus, these guys are so stupid anyway....:nono: The man is SUPPOSED to be the pursuer and the one "chasing" after the woman..not the other way around. *sigh* Society is so screwed up these days....smh....:nono:

Yeah some of them are just posting silly comments.
But some of them are consciously following the same rules that women follow. Some of them are following the same rules that women on this forum say they follow. That's what stood out to me.
 
I stopped at :

as a man the key to being in a successful relationship is to lie constantly, never tell her what's actually on your mind thats just gonna start problems.

:lachen::lachen::lachen:
 
Truthfully, chances are the dudes that don't need help with women are not in a thread like that. Those guys asking for directions from people just like them. Truly lost.

Many of those posters sound like they have been rejected by women or are only chasing women for sex.

What's flabbergasting is they make sex as an end all to a relationship sound noble and normal and women who want something more as manipulative.

I see some men are not taking the advice too seriously.

I made it to number 2 & 3 and thought he was crazy!
When I got to number 7, I thought he was being sarcastic.
When I got to number 13, I hoped he was being sarcastic and not a psychopath :nono:

I'm a member of that site too, and every time I read that list, I fall out laughing.

Today is no different... :lachen:

Yeah I tend to find men say exactly the same thing when they see the rules books women follow.
 
Read the first page. That's all I have the stomach for. I have to be careful what I read these days. If I'm not careful I'll be thinking all men are misogynistic fools only out for sex,
 
The other day, my homeboy decides he wants to take out a girl he is talking to see if she's girlfriend material but doesn't want to spend a lot of money on her yet. So he calls her for a date:

Him:What time are you going out for dinner? 7? Okay, let's meet up for drink about around 9.

He only spent $8 on her that night. Be warned...these dudes are slick!

V. Adhere to the golden ratio

Give your woman 2/3 of everything she gives you. For every three calls or texts, give her two back. Three declarations of love earn two in return. Three gifts; two nights out. Give her two displays of affection and stop until she has answered with three more. When she speaks, you reply with fewer words. When she emotes, you emote less. The idea behind the golden ratio is twofold — it establishes your greater value by making her chase you, and it demonstrates that you have the self-restraint to avoid getting swept up in her personal dramas. Refraining from reciprocating everything she does for you in equal measure instills in her the proper attitude of belief in your higher status. In her deepest loins it is what she truly wants.

what happened to 50/50? men are loosers and im off to go buy a cat.

That got me mad too but my dear, take deep comfort in the fact that any boy (can't be a man..) who's dumb enough to follow this 'rule' will most likely never know the fulfillment and joys of a NATURAL, loving, HAPPY relationship..

Eventually down the line any smart woman is going to notice these games, realise her status is higher than he thinks it is and be out of there or make his life hell!
