[QUOTE=Bull Run;40547]I second Howie on this one.
The only pitfall to that is that if you don't give her just the right amout of attention then she'll be more likely to think you simply don't care or are on your way out in which case she'll become hypergamous and seek out someone else to dull the pain if you were to leave.[/QUOTE]
Yep, that was also the beginning of the end in my marriage.
Its a balancing act no doubt. I wish I was as smart as you guys when I was younger! You certainly can't learn women until you've experienced a few.
Here's one more piece of semi-related advice from my semi-corrupt mind that I think is very beneficial for the less experienced gents out there:
I learned this the hard way......if you want to have a successful marriage some day, make sure you go out and date lots of women before hand. This allows you to understand women and how they think, it allows you to learn how to be successful in dealing with one so you're happy and they're happy, it also allows you to get some wildness out of your system so you aren't always wondering if the grass is greener. You'll be able to tell the difference between a good woman and a bad one in a short amount of time.
If you are willing to do this, you'll have a better chance of having a successful marriage. You are simply better equipped to handle one. Dating different girls can be treated like "practice" for the real thing(marriage/ltr) some day.
I see a lot of married guys that are pretty ill-equipped to be successful in their marriage and its no wonder they complain about not being happy and most end up in failure. So go out there and acquire the tools to be successful in a long term relationship. They are a lot of work, but very rewarding and offer a lot of stability that you won't get living this wild and crazy single life we all live.
