I thought I was pure gold. Left work early to surprise her ( i don't normally do) and make sure house was clean (i always help with that) because I knew she was out and about with kids. Got her some jewelry (do on occasion), chocolate, and wrote a note - which made her happy cry (thinking I'm so in). Made dinner for the kids, ordered food to go for her and I, kids watch a movie while we have dinner, kids asleep (i put them to bed-which I always do, and I'm fine with it) by 8:00ish....she was asleep by 8:15ish.
So yeah I drank and played Madden.
Can anyone beat that?
Ags: Your problem was you went full beta. Everybody knows you never go full beta. Not if you want to get laid.
Joe: What do you mean?
Ags: Left work early? Okay. Brought her home some jewelry? Romantic. That **** will get you laid. Follow it up by telling her to get it she has to come to bed wearing the necklace and only the necklace. Brought home dinner? Perfect, by itself. Tell her the dinner is to make sure she has the energy to go to pound town after the kids are in bed. You put the kids to bed? Great! You're a thoughtful husband. Every night? You just crossed the line into full on Beta. Write her a romantic note telling her how much you love her? Wonderful. did she tell you how awesome of a husband and father you are? No? Beta.
Each of those things are great on their own. But here's a question: what did she get you?
You fed her. Told her she was the ***** Did every single one of her nightly tasks. You did it without being asked and.......She didn't get you jack *****
What you just told her was that she had the night off... simply because she was awesome and that you were so grateful to her for being so star spangled awesome that she didn't have to do jack **** for you.
By itself any one of those things get you laid. Put Together they might still get you a reach around if you follow it up with a good smack on the ass or talk dirty to her. But you just went full on Mr. Mom and you expected to get laid? Dude.
You just went full beta.
