Planning to play tonight - yesterday was a relaxing day
this all the time. Leykis was married 4
times and he's says the biggest thing
women do, and they mostly all do it, is
they hide who they really are until the
marriage. They pretend to like things about
you that they don't like at all.
It happened to me. You say, Bob, Bob, if
you don't like women so much, why are
you married. Because my wife acted really
interested in me and all my activities, that's
why. But as soon as we got married, all
that stopped, like somebody threw a switch.
Within weeks she became totally uninterested
in what I was doing or what my thoughts
were. She became like every other woman, she
was again the center of her universe, everything
was about her. And I was expected to make it
all about her.
I remember when I realized what was going on,
and I never got over it. I was that disappointed.
She had fooled me, she pulled the bait and
switch. The one they usually pull is with sex.
I've seen many guys who get their socks screwed
off with sex before marriage, and then after the
wedding they get it twice a month.
I have a friend who had sex 5 times a week, got
married, and hasn't had it at all in 10 years. It
never ceases to amaze me that women get away
with this.

Almost all of my male clients tell me things changed the day they got married -- the affable and fun woman they dated became their "boss" overnight - sex went away then, ultimately, they sought sex elsewhere - resulting the divorce being their "fault" for cheating

Given the above happened literally once the honeymoon was over, why didn't you file an action to end your seemingly hellish marriage?
Does your religion prohibit divorce?
Are you a masochist?
It's no disgrace to get an annulment or a divorce these days, you know.
I've heard several men refer to their wives as "their boss", sad. I warn my kids to watch closely, the role playing kids do in grade school. Kids as early as first grade now are playing 'hook up' games.Quote: aceofspadesAlmost all of my male clients tell me things changed the day they got married -- the affable and fun woman they dated became their "boss" overnight - sex went away then, ultimately, they sought sex elsewhere - resulting the divorce being their "fault" for cheating
If someone plays the role long enough, it becomes them. Play subservient in a relationship, and after a while your partner acclimatizes to the game.
I got lucky, and I know it.
I told my kids and anyone that will listen, it takes two years to know someone. People should live together before marriage. Everybody puts their best foot forward initially, but no one can hide it forever. Two years, seems to be a magic number. Keep a quiet suspicion for two years, for your partner concealing unwanted behavior. If you don't see it in two years, quit looking so hard.

That should tell you something about divorcing people since that is your data set. But you can't assume it reflects the people who don't seek a divorce lawyer.
Quote: MrVwhy didn't you file an action.
Because I still liked her, I thought
there was hope. Men are really
stupid when it comes to women.
Again, look at Carson. He'd already
been burnt TWICE and refused to get
a prenup because wife number 3 was
different, she would never screw him
over. What a laugh.
And I realized what's the point, most
women are the same, why replace my wife
with an exact copy. Every married man
I know is unhappily married and just
tolerates it.
The ones I know who say, no no, I have
a great marriage, are lying to themselves.
They are such slaves to whatever mood
the wife is in, so terrified of making her
mad, they think a happy marriage means
you find a way to simper and grovel to
keep her happy and call that a 'happy'
relationship.
Youre also using a horrible data set if all youre referring to are divorce lawyer clients and troubled men calling into a radio show. They most likely played their cards wrong, gave the woman too much confidence, and simply were a 'slave' as you guys like to put it. Women want real men. They want to be swept off their feet. They want to be secretly controlled even though they wont admit that. This doesnt mean you disrespect them, dominate, or be an 'asshole', communication is vital to a successful relationship, but what it means is that you control all of the tough situations that arise every time and you do it with confidence. Women dont want to be the leaders, they want a man that will lead the way. They will test you from time to time to see if you really have true confidence and not just an act as well. They will try to disagree with you, ignore you, take control of a situation etc, but its all a bluff to see how you react.
You basically need to live your life as if youre still single but at the same time still respect her. Again, you dont have to be an 'asshole' like the so called dating 'gurus' claim, as they empty your pocket for some dating lessons. It's the 'not caring' so much attitude, lack of insecurities that you show, and the confidence you exhibit that makes her feel attracted to you and that if she leaves you, it wont bother you in the slightest. Women want to chase the man and be a part of their exciting life, not the other way around, not drag you around like theyre doing you a favor. Theyll quickly lose respect for you.
You also sadly need to make more money than her. Women are dependent creatures, that's just how human evolution and biology works. If they make more money than you its going to be an uphill battle to keep her as she will slowly lose respect for you, sad I know, but thats how it works.
Damn what am i not an expert in? Im starting to impress even myself these days

I dont need to have been married. I know exactly how women work. The ones who have or had failed marriages simply went about it wrong or anything of the above that i mentioned already.
With that being said, i already told you 'how' to deal with them and keep them(personality), but here are the 3 things in ORDER of what actually attracts them.
Societal status(popular, good with women, etc)
Money
Good looks
As sad as that list is, thats just how it works. Also as you can see, contrary to what many men think, 'good looks' is the last thing that matters. Societal status and money makes sense because it has an evolutionary aspect to it. Women want men who can provide for them as well as their kids and that are alpha males.

Although divorce is no fault, clients usually want to vent, as did this retired gentleman.

I have a feeling the guys doing so, have banged all of 2 different girls in their entire life(prostitutes don't count IMO).
There is no one thing that works, if there was, everyone would be rolling in p*ssy or be married to supermodels or whatever.
When it comes to chasing women it's like playing poker you need to read each player and situation differently and sometimes you are wrong.
Showing confidance is probably the best approach.
Quote: AxelWolfThere is no one thing that works,
You're missing the point. Whatever works,
the outcome is usually the same. The
woman will hide who she is until you're married.

Assume that is true.
If so, what about the corollary: Are men any different?
Quote: MrVAre men any different?
In the last 50 years of seeing relationships
of others, and my own. never seen a man
do that. If he likes golf and smoking weed
and fishing and drinking beer and watching
the game, he doesn't hide it. The woman
will hide her dislike of all of it till the wedding,
then all of it is up for discussion and ending.

OK I am probably going to et flamed for this statement BUT -- I think men and women can be equally duplicitous - HOWEVER, I think men exhibit such behavior in the business world whereas women exhibit it in the relationship world

I see it / hear about it all the time.
Men and women are BOTH on their "best behavior" while courting each other.
Guys are polite, avoid farting and scratching their balls, and listen attentively.
Until they marry.
Quote: AxelWolfShowing confidance is probably the best approach.
I don't want to name a certain well known person who has gotten very far in life on extreme confidence. I give him that hands down.
What people get wrong about him, is he has done this despite often being a giant asshole not because of it.
In fact, I consider him the perfect example of how far confidence can get you.
It's no one on this board, btw.
Society as well as the churches(im not against religion by the way) are the culprit for this and is another reason the divorce rate is higher than the ones who stay together. Society has built this notion in everyones heads that youre supposed to find your soul mate, have kids, and live happily ever after when in fact its completely un-natural to live with one girl forever.
Thank me again later.
Quote: aceofspadesOK I am probably going to et flamed for this statement BUT -- I think men and women can be equally duplicitous - HOWEVER, I think men exhibit such behavior in the business world whereas women exhibit it in the relationship world
Good one, Ace. I agree. Men will lie
in business to get ahead, to make more
money. They don't bother to in relationships
because they don't look at TV sports, golf,
going to bars with friends, pot and drinking
socially, as being bad things. Why hide them.
Quote: MrVGuys are polite, avoid farting and scratching their balls.
These things are not lifestyle setters, changing

If youre not man enough to tell the girl youre not giving up anything for her, then you deserve the backlash and to be pu$$y whipped. You simply tell her NO and if theres a problem, she can leave. Done. You need to be willing to lose the girl to keep her as crazy as that sounds. Psychology 101 once again.

True. And it's not a scam. When you are initially infatuated with a woman you really do want to talk and hear about her. After a while its like, ok they were out of tic tacs at the gas station. Why do i need to know this?
Perhaps later on, the onus is on both partners to take itupon themselves to bring something to the table.
If you want him to listen to you, as a woman, try to get to the point occasionally and refrain from constantly laying an inventory of everything that happens to you on the guy.
If you want to get sex, take care of yourself a little and more importantly, learn to not be a lazy or incompetent lover. If she's getting off, 90% of the time she will want it more than you.
Did you ever notice that one of the first things to go after a man marry's is his friends? Women make it so.Quote: EvenBobA woman wants a man

If that starts happening [and it will] in a marriage, a man should also make sure the woman gets rid of any old friends, who will make it her goal, to tell your bride all the stuff your doing wrong.
Old friends are usually marriage killers, but one good friend can last you through two or three wives.

Quote: ZenKinGTheres also one thing missing here that no one in society actually understands and that it's completely un-natural to marry someone for the rest of your life. Look at the animal kingdom. You think a dog that just fu$ked his girl and had 10 babies is gonna pass up the opportunity when he sees another female dog? The answer is no and its the same with all mammals, there's no loyalty and the female mammals dont give a shit either, cause they will do the same thing if they find another male. It's the same thing with humans, but once again we have been brainwashed.
Not exactly.

But on the other hand some people define abnormal as anything that only a small part of the population does. I just think it's normal diversity.
However the idea that humans have artificially defined their social behavior with odd practices, sometimes for no other reason than some religious figure, or someone's fanciful idea of what's right, probably does apply to some marriage practices and expectations.

Years ago I would listen to Dr Laura once in awhile.
She would tell the female callers, get to the point,
tell us why you called, we don't need your life
story.
Even after telling them, the woman would often
wander off into the whole back story of her life
and Laura would have to threaten them to get
to the point or they would be cut off.
Why women feel compelled to over explain
everything is a mystery. It drives men insane,
maybe that's why they do it.
Quote: DRichI also think the majority of my married friends are happy with their relationships.
I hear this all the time. Then you
actually see them together and
realize the guy is totally whipped.
He's given up even trying to have
a say in anything or a personality
that's his own. The marriage
totally revolves around her and
what she wants and needs. Many
men think they're happily married
because they've learned how to
behave so their wife isn't mad
at them all the time.
Much like an inmate learns how
to get along with the guards and
not piss them off.
