um, you're missing the point.

Brad Pitt = your ideal man. It could be the Elephant Man (he loves the ladies!) for all I care.

The article didn't say that at all!!! You've completely concocted that out of thin air!

Lady, you're Freudian slip is showing :)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get you; what you aren't getting is that not all women will fall in this category of just jumping to accomodate a man; may be some are looking for real interest, being genuine, and yes some patience to prove it; it isn't always about one when the intentions are honorable,...

...as have you.

it's my prerogative to infer that or whatever else pleases me....

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Nope.

Never says a women should just jump to accommodate it says she'll go on a date with him at some point. That's it. That you've added yourselves.

it never said: "a woman will jump to accommodate you if she likes you"

it says: if she likes you, she'll take you up on your offer or suggest other plans. Full stop.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Nope.

yes, it's your god given right to act like a mentalist.

I disagree. I won't drop plans with friends or my daughter to go out with anyone.

NO ONE WAS SAYING THAT!

full stop..... ....really...?


If she has to drop others to be with him.... falling short of her mamma's funeral you tell moi mister...

Anyway.....

One thing some of you men - and some women - don't understand is that our girlfriends will be there down the road. The man may not be.

for the women on here who have taken no time to read the article and just blabber on... I've taken the liberty of copying it here:

"The Art of Manliness wants to encourage men to stop hanging out and start dating. But negotiating the waters of dating can be tricky. Men often want to know if a girl is into to them or not. How can you know? Employ the Brad Pitt rule.

How the Brad Pitt rule works:

Call up the woman you like and ask her on a date. Did she say yes? Great, she probably likes you. What if she makes up an excuse for why she can’t go out? This is the time to employ the Brad Pitt Rule.

Imagine that instead of you, Brad Pitt had asked this same woman out. Would she use the same excuse with him? If Brad Pitt asked her on a date, would she still say she had to study or was going to the movies with friends that night? Nope. She would have dropped. pretty much anything and everything to be able to accept a date with Brad.

Now you’re not Pitt obviously. But if a woman is interested in you, she will drop her other plans to be available to go out with you.

Of course there are exceptions; the woman may have a legitimate reason she cannot make the date. Perhaps she has to work or go to a funeral. But, and here is the real clincher, she will suggest a different time for the date. She will say something along the lines of “I can’t do it Saturday night, do you want to hang out next weekend?”

If she makes up an excuse and she does not suggest an alternative plan, you have been shut out. She is not interested. Do not ask her out again. Doing so will only result in awkwardness and you feeling like a tool.

But don’t worry, she probably isn’t as cool as you thought she was since she doesn’t appreciate your charms. Start pursuing another lady who will."

I com

I completely agree, no one is debating that.

So in other words, a man should expect a woman to drop everything to go out on a date with him.

And if she doesn't, he should move on and not ask that woman out again.

Am I reading the blog correctly?

From the Brad Pitt rule, I quote... But if a woman is interested in you, she will drop her other plans to be available to go out with you.

I did read the damn thing. And I'm saying, I would not drop my plans, nor would I necessarily suggest another time at that point. .

I'm not an idiot. I read it. I disagree. Just because I disagree with you you are assuming that I did not read the article. The article is not my bible. I don't follow it. Maybe you think this will get you dates. With your pompousness on this point, i doubt it, but good luck with that.
