Learn The Rules

By Authors of Spouse Illustrated / Posted on 04 July 2011

Everyone says love is a game.
Do you have the rules?

The Rules for Men:

  • Play to win.  Don’t settle for less than what you really want!
  •  Clear the sex-haze.  Remember she is trying to impress you while you are dating, but sex is not a substitute for sanity.  If she is a bitch now, she will be a worse bitch later.  After a while, no blow-job can make up for a woman who fights and drives you crazy.
  • Don’t plant your flagpole in another man’s territory.  If she will cheat on him, she will cheat on you.  Fidelity and trust are about character, not circumstances. Don’t be the sap we laugh at on “Cheaters.”
  • Don’t let the pussy whip you. Getting serious with the right woman means you don’t have to give-up your needs, individuality, freedom, or sex drive.
  • Find a woman who loves you, not your “potential!”
  • Do the math.  If she says she has bad luck with men, don’t be a part of that losing streak!  She is the common denominator.
  • Don’t break the bank.  Split the cost of dates equally based on what is fair according to your income levels.
  • Don’t wear a dress.  Keep the hobbies and sports that you love.
  • Take a road trip.  Life is a long and winding path, so take her for a test drive – literally.  Nothing will bring out the real person faster than juggling a map, hunger, and the need to pee.
  • Meet the family.  As they say, the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.  If her mom makes her dad miserable – take warning!
  • Keep your balls with you. Pay attention to how she treats you in front of friends and family. If you feel the need to apologize for either one of you, it’s time to take your balls back and hit the road.
  • Follow the money.  Get to know her spending and investing style. It says a lot about priorities, responsibility, and accountability.  Her biggest investments should not be in her closet.
  • Ditch the bitch. Watch how she treats service personnel.  Truly nice people are nice to everyone.
  • Don’t toss your SGVAs (self gratification visual aids, aka porn).  With many of these women you are going to eventually have a lot of sex by yourself.
  • Say no to re-gifting.  Use condoms.  Most of the women will lie about the number of sex partners they have had; some won’t tell you that they have an STD; and a few are trying to get knocked-up.
  • Don’t fall into the booby-trap.  Don’t let a woman make you give up your female friends.  Of course, a woman you have tapped cannot be considered a friend in this situation.
  • Use your tools. Use the cock-o-meter and financial graph found in our book Spouse Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition.
  • Protect your wingman. Avoid the girl who does not have close long-term girlfriends.  She is unlikable; disloyal; or selfish.  If you stay with her, then say goodbye to your buddies.  There won’t be room for them.
  • Eject! Eject! Eject!  Don’t marry a woman to please her or to help her get away from her parents or some other guy.  Let her find her own parachute.
  • And the most important rule:
    You can’t change her.
    She has a personality type.
    You can’t reason it out of her;
    you can’t buy it out of her;
    you can’t screw it out of her
