You know that women actually like sex right? Hell in December 2013 I had one girl dump me because I didn't go at it straight away (not that I was morally opposed to sex but I was still really shy back then).

You can talk about sex with girls. They don't mind. But you can never talk about weight loss with girls, even if they've already started talking about it.


liking sex and bieng open about it are too different things. they like sex but dont' like you talking aobut it. you have to play the game first. why Idk they just like playing the game. how horrible itd be if it worked like this

boy: I like sex
girl: I like sex too :) want to do it
boy: yes.

well thats you're girlfiriend see when you start dating you as the guy can never be the first one to bring up sex. you have to wait for the girl to if you bring it up even though she'll like it she act upset and call you a pervert. heck she might even do sexy talk with you and share some pictures then next day when shes not horny get mad at you and blame you for her getting horny.

Making friends with women would likely make you less uncomfortable around women and therefore less eggshell around them. Or you could try being yourself instead of your eggshell self.


yes women like to snap at men. so its very scary for us. we dont' know if anything we say might make you get upset snap at us then ignore us. its very stressful. I have a list 500 pages long of things I shoudltn' do or say near women. I have to hide 90% of my life from them as any or all those things will turn them away from me. supposely latter they'd accept them o.O which makes no sense. so I assume that I would have to live rest of my life with thim never being able to be myself.

men dont' have a endless supply of suitors like women do. so we have to be super secretive and careful.

It's fun for me to guess peoples' ages. But it's pretty much a no-no early on to try to guess a woman's age.


You can't, or rather shouldn't, talk about another adult's weight. The fat/skinny/whatever person encounters mirrors on a daily basis and is 100% aware that they are fat/skinny/whatever.


women in general do this all the time. notice how there's a bunch of commercials with women making men lose wieght but non where men are making their women lose weight. one is ok ther other is not. many men often complain about their gfs/wifes putting them on diets. yet men can't do this to their wifes/gfs.

why is this? its often stated women try to improve/change any guy they get.

She won't get mad. She'll politely decline.

However, if you don't bring up sex soon enough through word or deed, she'll think you're a cold fish and dump you like a ton of bricks. It's happened to me too many times.

no they get mad. trust me. been through it enough times. it usually means end of contact with them too.

yep that is a another possibility, but you risk ending it by saying it with 75% of women and the other 25% will be upset if you don't . women are strange ones.
its all about mind games to the 75% I think

If ALL girls ALWAYS get mad, it is YOU. Not the female population of the planet.

YOU. Your lack of something or another. YOU are the common denominator.

You are simply so awful, so gross, so scary that women sense it and avoid you like the plague.

The surest way to not have sex with a girl is to mention sex. In fact, you basically have to act like a eunuch - not displaying the slightest hint of attraction towards them - until you've gotten them to your bedroom. Like a lot of you, I can't stand pretense, but it's what girls require.

This isn't fitting with any of my experiences dating. In fact I found more success after I dispelled this illusion. Are you sure you're not projecting your own anxieties onto your dates?

No, the best way to find out if a girl needs a lot of sex or not is to do nonverbal flirting with her for a couple of months. If she reciprocates that, and is exclusive with you, then she doesn't need a lot of sex.

I'm 25 and have never had a girlfriend, and not really interested to be honest.

It's never to late to have a relationship in my opinion, some of us are just late to it or don't want to have one.

I think you've got the right idea. Having a relationship makes your life a lot more complicated. It did for me. It's hard work keeping a girl happy. You have to watch what you say around her, walk on eggshells. The reason why guys are more emotional than girls is because girls don't bottle up their emotions like we do. They've been train all their lives to let out their emotions whenever they please. Relationships are very time consuming. This time could be better spent improving your career. And if she gets knocked up then you are a condemned man. Fatherhood sounds like Hell.

I think you could make a nice list of "traits that suggest you selected the wrong girl" based on those statements. :lol:

I suspect a relationship with someone busy, who wants to stay that way because they have ambitions, including intellectual ones, can't be very time-consuming, because they're as interested as you or more in not wasting their time and would dump you in the blink of an eye if you proved to be high-maintenance. So it'd be more about finding things to do together, including possibly living together, and sleeping together.
