Definitely. I couldn't believe how popular I was when I went to Northern Ireland. American accent is instant baller status.
I definitely dig chicks with an Irish accent, or Scottish, or pretty much any UK combination of the three.

It's pretty much just what you find pleasant. I don't find UK or Aussie accents appealing at all. In fact it is very much the opposite. However a mellow southern U.S. accent or a Spanish accent just flick some switch for me. German accents are nice as well.

Yeah, I work with this woman who is just ghastly to look at, but had a thick Indian accent. For some reason i just really like it.

Interesting sidenote to this. Your close friends will tend to have voices that you find appealing and it is very rare that you find close blood relatives voices irritating. I read a couple studies on accent relations in close groups a couple years back. It's actually fairly interesting that a large root of mixed family issues with step parents and children having issues warming up to each other is related to speech pattern and accent.

This is easy. You're trying to logically understand her decisions - there is none of that. Her decisions, like all women, are based purely in feeling. She thinks he's that much better than you - she had more feels for him than she has for you, and she wants to pursue him: see if she can nail him long-term possibly, or just gobble his cock more consistently.

Remember: a women is never yours; it's only your turn.

Advice: do absolutely nothing to 'get her back' or whatever. Tell her awesome and wish her the best. Find your own place and break all contact with her. In 6-12months, she'll come back after the Aussie breaks her heart or she gets bored with him. At that point, keep her around as a plate, but DO NOT, DO NOT move in with her again.

So is what Dumar is saying this Red Pill crap? Because its bonkers. The guy has no interest in her whatsoever and multiple people around the situation have told me the same. She has zero chance of going to Australia and she is well aware the guy gives no fucks about her. Also what is a plate?

As I've managed to avoid drinking and she is avoiding me (staying at friends place, a mutual friend so nothing stupid there). We did talk a bit though and I believe that Onoes has it 100% correct on this. Our relationship wasn't perfect, just as I presume most relationships aren't but I never would have expected this. But it appears that in the day or two she had known this guy his excessive charm and accent is something that I do not have... or something. And while she can't be with this guy she hopes to find someone who is like me... but with excessive charm and whatever else it is that I don't. For lack of a better analogy she wants a golden relationship (perfect everything) and will not settle for silver.

But then leads me to question why she had even bothered pushing me towards something serious and all that shit. Seriously man, fucking women. Time to go run 5 miles and chill out. I'll find a place today for sure and leasing office told me it was no trouble to get off the lease as long the other party is willing to stay on it. So there's that.

Basically ignore everything Dumar says. Anyways, the red pill stuff has been warned against multiple times, please get out of here with that shit.

Its a test. Will you react like "oh please I'll do anything, how do we fix this???" or be all "fine, fuck you then, I'm out" and walk away like you're doing. Walking away will probably lead to her wanting you back. Don't take her back.

Don't laugh. I've got Tinder loaded up on my IPhone, I just haven't taken the plunge and registered an account yet. The last time I dated (almost 3 years ago) I don't believe Tinder even existed-- it was match.com, Okcupid, or Eharmony.

Dog doesn't wear underwear exactly, I do. I make sure that Porky is always wearing his raid gear though. That handle comes in handy when he steals my place on the couch and goes into limp abortion protestor mode when I try and move him.

Oh hell yeah. Look at that face. That's his "I'm sooooo stoned. What year is this again? Wait, wait. What's that in dog years? Math? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck" face.

I was unfamiliar with the "plates" terminology so I went and read up on it. What in the fuck? I mean, I get the idea of strange and certainly you want to date around to find out what you like but I could not disagree more with the statements against long-term relationships.

I had three long-term relationships from the time I entered college until became engaged to the third one at 28. I also had a few short-termers in between the breakups that inevitably come when you're not willing to seriously consider marriage.

Personally, I thought it was great having a girlfriend throughout most of college. I learned a lot about the day-to-day give-and-take and got pussy two or three times a day. What's not to like? I always thought the dating game was overrated. It's a pain in the ass.

Dude. You only think you liked having a girlfriend because you are brainwashed by women bro. You were actually miserable dude, seriously. Women make you think you want to be with them so they can like, exploit you for money bro. True happiness comes from hitting it and quitting it dude.

Yeah, I'm sure it could never be the case that you could genuinely enjoy the friendship and closeness that develop in a LTR. Personally, I thought the sex was always better in the LTR than in the short-term crazies or the one-nighters. Maybe I just never bedded the right kind of crazy.

I had read some of MMSL and, while a lot of it smelled of bullshit, it was some sensible stuff in there so I was never sure why there was so much disdain for the RP shit until I read some of it. No shit, women like confident, powerful men. Way to over-think a simple concept.
