If you are a man, you might not like this post. The truth can be a hard pill to swallow. With that being said, let's continue..
Ladies, lemme tell ya. I've dated lots of men. LOTS O'Them. And one thing I can assure you on, is the Rule of 40 is a true one. I cannot call my self the 'Man Master,' meaning, there's always room to learn more. However, The Rule of 40 is one I promise you can count on.
If you meet a man who falls in this category, don't walk.
RUN.
Something is wrong with him and you will waste your valuable time. Leave him alone once you see he qualifies for the Rule.
Men, if you feel you meet the criteria, make an appointment with a therapist STAT. Call your mother, do some guided imagery, access repressed memories, whatever it takes to get clear.
Or,
Remain a single, skirt chasing, unfulfilled and shallow patheticist for the rest of your life. You may not think so but chasing ass gets old. At some point, even the slickest Lothario wants intimacy and love.
The kind of love that doesn't search in the middle of the night for her panties, and leaves you while you sleep.
Change your ways, or go ahead and be the old guy in the club.
We won't laugh..
In your face anyway.
Ladies-n-gents,
The RULE OF 40:
If you are a MAN.
40 yrs of age and up.
Have no wife.
No ex-wife. (a woman you LOVED, not married out of convenience).
No current girlfriend. (as in ONE, not a harem).
No children (by a woman you were WITH).
No relationships that lasted more than 5 years..
It's red flag time.
NO MAN can be without a mate for long, gay or straight. The fact that you are STILL alone means no woman, no matter how much she tries to settle, can put up with your issues. You may not be a bad guy, but you have some inner work to do.
This is not mere guessing. I have studied this and know it to be true. The "red flags" my studies have shown, are usually from extreme immaturity, a severe lack of emotional development, anger issues with the mother, fear of commitment due to deep seated insecurity, a dangerous narcissism and/or..
The worst of all..
You ready?
You have an abnormally small penis and/or you're a terrible lover.
Happy Friday.
