When I'm in a relationship with a woman I always get to know what she likes and appreciates.. If she likes me to open the car door for her than sometimes I will.

I do things like leave a note on my girlfriends windshield or bring home flowers to "plant" myself in her mind while I'm not there.

I've found that American women do not return this favor that much.

For instance, my Asian girlfriend would say things like " be safe" before I got off the phone or we ended the conversation. Or nice things like that. I don't get those little messages from American or white women that much.

Maybe it's because these women from first world countries know that they have many options and say to themselves "I don't have to do this so if he doesn't like it I'll just move on to the next guy" whereas the Asian women I knew probably grew up more in a conservative household with modest living arrangements and just appreciate things more. I'm not going to argue. This has just been my experience. Sorry if I offend anybody. Not meant to.

Interesting and intelligent post, in my opinion.

Would you say that people 'fall in love' when they are not with each other, but are apart from each other, and thinking about one another?

Why give anyone the misery of being far too predictable? :)

I think it shows that people care about building the relationship when they make an effort to do little things like I mentioned.

I'm just not the type that opens up the car door every time.

I think women expect the man to do everything so they feel like they don't have to do it. Women are spoiled.

I agree. The little things are important. It helps to impart stability and security in a relationship. Cooking with each other (and other regular couples activities) are good at this too.

You should bring those views up on dates. I'm sure they'd be impressed. The "most women are manipulative sociopaths" line is a real panty dropper........ :wink:

The fact we're here so much professing what is the right way to hook up with women instead of actually hooking up with women ourselves is a bit of a hard pill to swallow! And for the guys that are taken, they do enjoy being smug about it. :P

Ah, the hat....it all makes sense now!
Well, if I was in a serious relationship I'd probably be fairly smug, too. lol

I'm retired. I've spent a lifetime of eating different strains of mashed potato, metaphorically speaking (that's not a pu**y metaphor, by the way).

Yet another helping of mashed potato doesn't fill me with excitement right now. Of course, you might be different :P

Anyway, this could all be lies and I could be called Keef, and sleep in a bath along with a god complex, and an inflated sense of ego, and some tubs of instant mash. Who can tell.

When your woman leaves yo ass for one of my specially trained acolytes, you'll be on here snivelling and crying. Can't wait :P

Join the Tiger In Transistion Soldiers (TITS) for a subscription of £99.99 per month, and you'll claim what you were born to deserve before those feminist biatches castrated you. Join before midnight, as transitory tiger power will wane.

Demonstration of said irony.
