Realise, resolve, respect, reciprocate, role.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:Guys,stop treating your love interest as she is the universe!
Dont everything agree to her,dont everything say "you decide",have some backbone please!
And yes,stop buying expensive stuff for her,think that will win her heart? No chance in hell!
You wanna carry on being nice and remain on the shelf for a long time...up to u...
This works quite well when it comes to dating. If its having the intention of getting married and start a family, this more or less has to change. I think alot of young ones will use the method you mentioned to date someone and enjoy the bliss in it BUT they most likely did not consider the responsiblilties and consequences that come along with it. I may be wrong. There are some couples who started very similar to this way and ended up a happily married couple.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:The trick is to be 60% good guy and 40% bad guy
The cons of a good guy=too predictable=too boring/don't do exciting things,no backbone/every thing says "YES MDM!",tries too hard to get gal's attention by buying expensive stuff(idiot!)usually physical unappealing(eg dress too decently)
The pros of a good guy=gentlemanly,polite,caring etc etc
The cons of a bad guy=dont have the pros of a good guy
The pros of a bad guy=treats gals like normal(gals should'nt be worshipped like goddesses please!), do exciting things/unpredictable,dress sense is definitely not too "tu3".
Have the pros of a bad guy and a good guy then ho seh liao!:
As for my 60/40 formula:show your good guy side most of the time but show your bad guy side not always but frequently enough.

a girl who is worth pursuing and cherishing will be one who will know that you will willingly be one for her, yet refuses to take advantage of that..
now, a girl like that... beat the competition away with a baseball bat
Yes,I had merely the notion of wooing someone/dating when I wrote that.Originally posted by Bontakun:This works quite well when it comes to dating.

Why it has to change? Sometimes many guys cannot control the "bad guy" part and may play it too far that it irks someone else. Keeping it under check requires updates and constant reflection of what you did and how the other person react and more.
But then you are talking about getting a date/SO/love interest/whatever. So its more complicated than simply 60% good/ 40% bad person.
Thank you for your 2 cents.![]()

If you compromise too much, they will climb over your head
if that's the case, means that the guy is jus pretending to be someone he's not? to me, i think if the guy is sincere and honest, it's enough. just be himself!Originally posted by Marco_Simone:The trick is to be 60% good guy and 40% bad guy
