Anyone had success with the rules?

[poshsinglemum]

Or are they a pile of crap?

Do you want to attract a man who isn't attracted to you? But rather is attracted to some fake 50s housewife version of you?

Fuck zer roolz - I started being open about what I wanted and found it a piece of piss to find a decent man. "hi, my name's skihorse and I want a long-term relationship and children within 2 years, you don't? OK, seeya".

I read the rules of life by richard templar.

There are pretty much common sense and kind of things you would tell your children.

Such as set yourself boundaries and respect others .......

But i found it really useful as it is a bit like a 'game' and it makes you think about who you are too.

This is more about setting yourself a moral code for your life and not about getting a man.

The Rules are extreme in outlook, and very out-of-step with modern thinking on what a healthy relationship should be founded on, but... in practice, I've always found that the general principle is sound, i.e not appearing to be too 'clingy' early on in a relationship, not always texting first, not rushing to reply to a text he sends. I think this a) gives a man the impression that you are not 'desperate' (horrible word but you know what I mean) and that you have a life that isn't solely him, and b) that you too are not quite sure yet that you want something longterm and he must make a bit of an effort if he wants to win your affection, because you are worth it.

Some men are not into guessing and game-playing as per the Rules in all their full-blown glory, but some (maybe many!) do seem instinctively to be wired into 'the thrill of the chase' (as my mother used to call it) and to be keener the more they suspect you are hard to win. It's a tough call but I'd go along with the simplest underlying principle in the earliest stages: don't appear needy, send him one text/call to every several of his, and always make it seem as if you have a happy and busy life and are not pinning every hope of happiness on a close, cosy twosome with him.

Wishing you luck that you find The One and it all works out!

IMO they do work or at least the basics of them as apples has described so well
saves alot of messing about really
