Sure. I'd place the traps discreetly though. If she notices just be honest, and say you saw a mouse the other day. No need to dwell on it. These things happen to people.

Good job on girl 1. For girl 2, don't pester. If she doesn't wanna go just shrug and say ok. Proceed with enjoying your afternoon. You can try again maybe 30 minutes later, but if she still says no just accept it. You aren't always going to get laid right after you meet a girl for the first time.

10 mouse traps is overkill. Use some peanut butter or cheese as bait over night. If the mouse is still in your apartment, you'll catch it.

You're being creepy. Yes, it is best to stay distant. Be so distant that you start pursuing other women outside of work. Don't go after girls you work with. Don't go after girls already in relationships.

Vandaalen probably takes this as a compliment. But essentially, since you don't understand what he's saying, your questions don't warrant answers, because they are making assumptions that aren't true. If you read through a couple posts in the sidebar, you would understand that.

Can't you be both nervous and dripping for the dirty stuff ? Sure. Sometimes, I know sex is gonna happen that night. Other times, I have to really seduce the girl I'm with. Its hard to describe, but the girls for whom sex is a big deal act a bit different on the first time then the ones for whom its a causal thing. Pair bonding is a ridiculous excuse....The reason I chose my long term partner over another mate is for cognitive and social reasons, not pheromone bullshit. Maybe your an exception t…

No problem. Just to emphasize, taking him away to the bar was a good move. You're removing him from the group in case any drama ensues. This is much better than just telling him to fuck off while in your group.

I don't have anything against women wanting equal rights. The ones pushing for privilege, and the ones telling me I'm evil because I'm a man make my eyes roll though. I also don't care if you like to have sex a lot. We can still be friends/date. If I'm going to enter a serious/exclusive relationship though, I'm going to look for a girl who's hasn't had a lot of sexual partners. This is because pair bonding. There isn't really a specific number, its more about she acts the first time we have sex;…

Pickup advice is getting kind of mainstream for men, and a lot don't understand social graces and when they're being a creep or are unwanted. There's literature that advises to go talk to people until they're told to go away. I don't think you did a bad job at what you did, and wouldn't consider this mate guarding. You were more protecting your pack. Taking the guy to the bar was good move, though instead next time instead of buying drinks I would tell him to leave ya'll alone. If that doesn't w…

This is a pretty big deal to me. Short answer is talk about it. I'm sure you'll get some good advice here, but you have to decide how much you want a kid, how much you want to pursue your entrepreneurial dreams, and how those desires stack up in your marriage. One of these things requires the full support of your wife, and the other just requires alot. Can some kind of agreement or compromise be met?

There's TRP Women, but women typically talk about this stuff in their social groups more so than online. Oftentimes.

TRP is mostly generalizations. There exist exceptions, anomalies, and outliers in this world. You can accept it, or spend time analyzing trying to figure out why. Women do have the capacity to just like someone, or have preferences. Or there could be specific reasons/motives. Sounds like outlier, who cares. See #1. Some women are socially awkward.

If you decide to LTR a girl, you just need to go into to it understanding that it is very likely that the relationship will end at some point. This could be due to her branch swinging or not respecting you. It could also be because you decide you are no longer interested, or you do something that makes her want to leave. There's a myriad of reasons that will be outside of your control. Some the best advice I've seen and agree with is to remember, she's not yours, it's just your turn. Keeping thi…

People often confuse TRP for being gospel, and one size fits all. It's not. It's a toolbox, different ideas for different situations. Typically good rules of thumb to follow. The applications depend on what the outcome you want is.

Same. I prefer the talkative ones because I'm generally more reserved. Additionally OP, sometimes this excessive talking can mean the girl's nervous. Remember when you used to get nervous talking to a girl, and to avoid silence you'd start blathering on about random stuff? Happens to them too.

I'd make an Instagram with a cool username, and some good pics of you. Girls like to send me snaps, but I rarely use it unless I'm sending a shirtless pic or something. If you have good pics, I think an Instagram is good have; Women like to use it as another form of preselection during the initial stages. Some people love gaming with snapchat, but definitely not necessary nor does it have the value that Instagram has.

You can absolutely be Alpha and in an LTR. Being TRP is about seeing the world the way it is. How you handle this knowledge is up to you. People on TRP generally have a distaste for relationships because they have expectations that aren't usually met. While its possible to be in a healthy, happy relationship, understand that its not the usual here.

Same as before I had it. I'm in good shape, and am a cool guy to be around. Taking medication and wearing a condom 80% of the times reduces the chance of transmission to something like 2% over the course of 8 month's worth of sex. So on an individual sexual encounter, while wearing a condom, its very small. Some girls want to do research or talk to their doctors before having sex. Others are already pretty knowledgeable about it, and aren't phased. Most girls I date are in their 20's. I've had o…

A lot of mixed advice in here. Firstly though, relax. Everything will be alright. I've had it for 2 years now and am pretty knowledgeable about it. I'm very proactive in handling it, and get laid regularly( I tell every girl I have it too beforehand).

Going against the grain here, but doesn't seem like gossip at all to me. I don't see where she bad mouthed the company. I'm siding with her.

Additionally, as some others have stated, I think you're best moving on. Live separately, do the best you can with joint custody of the children. Alternatively, your future will probably be the same as it has been the past few years. A roller coaster of a relationship with flings and an unstable environment for the kids. If you guys just stay separate, you guys can each be happy in life, and give the kids while maybe not an ideal, but a stable environment where their parents are happy at least.
