@MentORPHEUS why not comment that in the thread at the forum post?
@Vermillion-Rx Boy, could I have EVER used this as I was coming of age in the mid 80s, somewhat aspie and well behind the curve compared to my peers. The advice available at the time was rooted in 50s-60s norms. Dale Carnegie's How to win friends and influence people was a notable exception that holds up well to this day, but I didn't get my hands on a copy till the late 90s. My well meaning Mom told me, Just watch people, how they interact and make friends! Not very helpful, toward trying to jump start a social awareness later than all your peers, with no experience thus clue at the subtleties and presumptions others had worked through the learning curve of.
Literally spelling out all these details about social interaction, represents EXACTLY what guys currently in our younger shoes need, to get to a place on the learning curve where "just watching others interact " offers clues and insights one can actually pick up on then become able to learn from and actually integrate into the self.

It's okay. Some times relationships don't work out
Some times you realize what you need and by the time you realize you were with someone who was not compatible with you and it's all falling apart all of a sudden you realize that you found some more of yourself
You have to be the captain of your own ship and prioritize yourself as a man
It's hard to realize and accept that you may have chosen someone out of your own shortcomings
Sometimes you just have to lose people on the way to finding yourself. Wish them well if they at least tried.

Not all relationships affect you forever but the ones that do – do.
Haven't found a better song for it
Often times the one who got affected becomes resilient in the right direction and the one who did the affecting goes on like that forever in the wrong direction
Not always, but often is the case if you have any inner strength and good support.
Stay resilient. She can keep going downstream while you adapt.
I think what we're getting at is that someone needs to do the "manipulating" in the relationship, and if it's ever going to have a chance, it will have to be the man.
That said, I've seen men that unconsciously prioritize their cool over their efficiency no matter what. It gets problematic when there are children and too many needs pile up.
@SwarmShawarma This might seriously get you some money, particularly if you can add details of a false profile of the sort of girl people hit up on Tinder because she looks "like she might".

Almost all human interaction is manipulation.
It just beehooves the man to be aware of it and to decide what he's ok with.
Woman gives you a BJ then asks for a small favor? Sure, why not.
Woman tries to make you feel guilty because you took a nap? Nah.
