| im sure 9 times out of 10, these relationships were initiated by the man. Every relationship I've had was initiated by the other (female) person. I don't initiate well. Same for me but all three of my relationships started online & not on dating sites. Though I tried lots of dating sites & ... |

| If your religion is against divorce threatning to divorce might motivate her to compromise more. I generally dislike ultimatems but if your seriously considering that option it might be good to let her know that & then gauge her reaction. If she has the attitude of go ahead then at least you kno... |

| In the case of The Little Mermaid, Ariel gave up her voice because she wanted to be human. She was infatuated with the human world & initiated the relationship because it was her opportunity to be part of that world. I would equate it with a mail-order bride type situation. She sought out a rela... |

| There's some good examples here :mrgreen: I like the idea of malicious compliance but I don't remember ever intentionally doing this myself. There's been various times others assumed I intentionally had because I got directions confused or I took something they said literally. It caused me to be pun... |

| In all honesty, what would you (men) prefer for women to say? I've never said I was busy because I'm brutally honest. If I'm not interested I say so. I worry about hurting men's feelings but I can't lie. It's not like I've ever been very busy anyway, apart from working business hours. Seriously, wh... |

| Disney princess fairy-tales tend to be very shallow. The guy comes from a very well off background whereas the woman is very poor. The guy comes to her rescue & falls in love with her beauty. They get married based on that & she's presumably gonna be a trophy wife. In real life lots of guys... |

| I think the best people for me to ask about attracting women would be guys that have some similar types of issues as myself that are in successful relationships & also women who are in successful relationships with guys that have some similar types of issues as myself. If I have a certain type o... |

| I should make a separate post about this because its diverging into another topic. But gaining social status isn't a cure-all to social skills. Building social skills means trial and error. It also means getting to know a person, their needs/preferences, asking them questions, caring about them, pu... |

| Well said DuckHairback. In some movies a guy tries to get a date or hook-up with a woman who's a higher social status. The guy puts on a false persona & lies about some things in order to impress her. Eventually he can not keep the act up & she finds out the truth. He insists his feelings fo... |

| If they decline, I'd say something like "All good, whenever you're free let me know". Then stop contacting them, and just move on and talk to other girls. Leave the ball in their court. If they reach out to you, cool. If not, keep moving on. Great advice :wtg: I never thought that during ... |
