Just like any other piece of machinery...if you can't make the motor purr...you just are not maintaining it properly.

He's on borrowed time at best and he's 42 with 3kids under 8 so if it all goes bad it will really go bad....

She had 3 kids in her 20s?
Who does that?
Was she a foreign internet bride?

I hang around a chick from Thailand and her smokin hot friend from Vietnam (possibly one of the hottest chicks I know) now and then-

They're Americanized all right- what's really funny is when they're hammered and talking **** they do the "Full Metal Jacket" thing.

In Thai accent- "YOU TELL HIM - U NO LOVE HIM LONG TIME!"

First time I that I fell out of my chair.

(PS lots of Asian girls do that routine- joking around- it's hilarious)

a true alfa doesn't give a ****. no ****s. this one doesn't want to sleep with you tonight ... who cares? this one doesn't like you because you cracked such and such joke ... who cares?

the irony being, that as soon as you stop caring about these things, women come out of the woodwork for you.
Well did you just write down the past year for me!

I decided that I needed to take a more Me, and not you, approach to life. Don't like me? F you. I am not going to lose any sleep over it.

Talk about LIBERATING. Buuuut a lot of people can take it as me being a complete and total douche.

I really am not. I have the best friends a man can ask for. I just don't put up with petty BS anymore.

I have a Mainland Chinese cousin who is a US citizen and made a ton of money in the subprime boom. He brought his wife over from China once he started really earning. She couldn't drive. They had two kids and she still needed him to drive them everywhere. The first time I met her, I knew he had married way, way out of his league and that marriage was doomed. Geezus, she was hot. Sure enough, it took him a while to get back on his feet after the real estate bubble collapsed, she learned to drive and she took off.

My wife just made me lunch (organic salad with grilled chicken breast), and drove 12.5 miles to deliver it to me at the front door of my office.

I don't know WTF you guys are doing, but you're doing it wrong.

When she showed up did you pretend to ignore her, tell her that her salad tastes like crap, then tell her to go eff-herself? If not, per the last four pages you've been doing it all wrong.

That's me 100%. I could care less what people think of me, and I have nothing to prove. I know I come across as a cocky *********, but I really don't care. I am extremely respectful of others and very polite. I just choose to not suck up to *anyone*. My wife loves it and validates me all the time

If you even think you know the answer, you are just kidding yourself. Every woman, and every woman's brain, are a little bit different, just like various parts of their bodies. Every woman must be analyzed and approached as a separate study. That's the fun of it. And yes, sometimes it is more work that the compensation you get.

Geez Louise, what are we talking about....being the best hog caller in the sty?

I'd make the case the the female of our species is in fact a different and incompatible species and frankly not worth the effort.

...I've just given up on them and their *^*&^(*&t.

Surely you can't be this obtuse. Talk about missing the forest for trees. Thankfully, most chumps are supplicating white knights like this. Makes it so easy for the rest of us.

Wrong. No woman wants a desperate supplicating wimp. Not one. They are all identical in this regard.
