Probably not - I let the friendships lapse because we moved, and I'm an unreliable correspondent. :D
Men will follow..!?!
The men could also lead!
Funny, I actually think that's a responsibility God gave them. I have always held that the husband's job is harder; to run things in such a way as to still demonstrate that the other partner's job is valued and respected. This is a very important thing for our children to see, both the male and female children!
Damn Straight!... Formerly married to nazi hellbeast.
"The Game" is my favorite book of 2005 so far. I can't wait to see the movie version. Amazingly enough, though I thought Mystery would be trying to distance himself from Neil Strauss's portrayal of him, he actually has a link to "The Game" at Amazon.com on his web site! I guess there really is no such thing as bad publicity... ;)
You are not the only one in that situation. I myself am single too.
Just curious but you didn't see any red flags or was she so beautiful you didn't care?
I agree.
Yup! I've seen it both ways. It's why I'm still single.
If I don't sense the DESIRE for loyalty that matches mine early on in the relationship, I drop 'em like a hot potato! My mom's old college roommate used to say: "If propinquity doesn't 'propink,' forget it!"
I can't believe that there is this much of a subculture as described in 'The Game.' I'm all for learning to get over on babes, but seems to me these men have other 'issues,' don't you think?
Hitman:
You will notice chicks will lure you into this conversation over what men are supposed to be and within a short time, she'll have you so tangled up in knots you'll wish you were back drinking beer with the guys.
Best not discuss serious subjects with chicks, if you want to hold on to your sanity.
In conversation with chicks, the rule that always works is "keep it light and disingenous."

You speak wisdom, DA740. Life as seen through the female prsim only casually (and often accidentally) reflects the real world.
I don't give this much mind. Women will never admit this, but they enjoy the benefit of a large institutional framework (movies, media, tv, talk shows, books, their freinds, casual aquaintences) that bascially validates their preferred worldview: their whims, wants, desires, emotions, etc are paramount, and men's whims. wants, desires, emotions etc are almost de facto too demanding & selfish, and are to be dismissed and derided routinely.
This is validated all day, every day, from a variety of sources. While it stinks, I don't lament it - it's just another tool a man can use to his advantage to get a good result when dealing with a woman.
Honestly, anybody with any clarity can see that once the male/female team is coupled, the woman on balance will exert more influence over the male (than the male will exert over the woman) on matters that I have raised. It's not a bad thing - once a man understands it, it's all good, really.
Just do what I do: weave an intricate web of lies to keep your woman in the dark, and this way everyone's happy! :-)
Yep. Your last sentence it particularly spot on.
DA740
Remember: anything that is said '1/2 joking' is also said '1/2 serious.' :-)
Right. One holds ever-fast to the "joking" side.
Because the serious side of any comment just renders her mad and "unyielding."
DA741
Yep.
Well that will be impossible since their won't be any there!
She was a changling hellbeast.....
