My point was that a man could hit every item on Moxie’s list (dog, job, friends, house, money, etc) and still not be a person who will ever committ to a relationship. Whereas a person who has committed to a relationship, does commit to relationships. I am not saying that women should want to be with someone who just has a long track record of relationships but is a disaster in all other aspects of their life. I’m just saying that: writers write, painters paint, and people who have committ to relationships, commit to relationships.

The desire has to be there first. Then comes the ability. The signs one could look for are indicated in the post, but it’s not a science. That you and the other women are reading it that way is what’s puzzling.

Yes, desire and ability are separate. One could have the ability but no desire and so what’s the point whereas someone else could have desire and limited ability (but can learn and acquire the ability). But you cannot teach/learn to desire something you dont want.

It’s not a science; it’s barely a philosophy; The list makes no sense to me at all. I wouldnt read it as a science or a roadmap because I think the items on the list are a poor comparison to willingness to committ to a relationship.
