"You have probably had a friend who started dating a woman that really made you scratch your head. She was flaky, possessive, and high-drama. Everyone could see that the gal was toxic and really bringing your buddy down…everyone, that is, except your buddy......" Short video also..

Way to ruin a good thread.

I fell hard for the first girl who smiled at me...But I was never going to marry her just for that!

Well, it was more than just a smile, *wink, wink*, but me being a dumb, just turned 21, drunk stupid kid was the main problem with marrying the babe.

[Salamander]

Either that or I heard you in my head.

[trisham]

I think only Sal and I heard it.

female brain association. Sorry.

Sounds like advice from a sixteen year old who doesn’t have a girlfriend.

[trisham]

You’re a woman?

[Salamander]

They might wanna add clairvoyance to that list.

:D

The first step, in male-female relationships, is to determine the attraction level. Corey Wayne says if the attraction is below a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10, don't pursue it no matter how hot she looks - your asking for trouble (like the above).
A ten wants to jump in bed on the first date. A nine can't keep her hands off you and says your amazing. An 8 says she wants a date with you. A 7 gives you subtle hints she wants a date. A 6 will go out with you do most things right. A 5 will go out with you only if you do all things right and are Mr. Amazing.

The secret for a happy marriage: don't marry the girl you love. Marry the girl who loves YOU.

Google Play Misty For Me.

Ah, thanks! That's one Eastwood movie I've never seen.

She goes by several different first and last names (yes, I had one of those).

[Mr. Blond]

If her best friend is another man.

But what part of a squirrel is the stabbing part?

9. She never apologizes or takes responsibility for bad behavior. Psychologists call the ability to recognize and take responsibility for bad behavior conscientiousness, and its an important attribute in maintaining a healthy relationship.

True - but most American women have been socialized by Gramscian Socialist television over the last 40 years to believe that apologizing is surrendering to the patriarchy. Even if she doesn't really believe it, her formative years in America will have provided her precious few examples of women being conscientious.

14. She's stingy with the appreciation. If your girlfriend rarely notices and thanks you for the nice things you do, such stinginess will eventually run your ship of love onto the rocks.

True - but appreciation of men is another behavior she will have very seldom seen modeled by her female relatives. In the USA a woman's love for her child might be unconditional - but for her man it is always strictly conditional and based on her feeling of "What have you done for me lately?" "Lately" being a period of time as long as one month to as little as five minutes. :)

My wife is from Singapore and much better than the problem children depicted in the article - but even from her I would fall over shocked if she ever said anything honestly appreciative to me (It's OK - she's even worse to her sons. It's a Confucian thing...) They all seem to be taught early that praising a man somehow equals spoiling him. If a man can find a woman who is an exception to point 14) he is actually quite lucky.

It's a tough thing for young people these days to overcome the MSM's relentless propaganda on interpersonal relations.

[right way right]

They left an important one out...take a very close look at her mother. Looks and behavior.

[huldah1776]

;-) yup. Huldah is an Old Testament name.

“But what part of a squirrel is the stabbing part?”

You must first whittle a point on the frozen squirrel. Geez, didn’t your mother teach you anything?
