"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Do you consider it to be insecurity? Or caring? Or them mixed? Or just the ego saying "he/she's mine, only mine". You were/are jealous sometimes?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It's insecurity. You're making it obvious that you are not getting what you want, which is an unattractive trait to women. If a woman says that she likes it when you get jealous, that is a big red flag that she enjoys manipulating your emotions.

Jealousy is weakness as my dad always said.

It is a confession to yourself, your date and the Universe that you feel inferior.

You are saying "I'm concerned that this random person who I never met is better than me". Remember: on average this person you are wondering about is average. A better approach is to try to set her up with every guy you see.

The key moment in my 9 month relationship with my dream girl was in December when she confessed to having had a one night stand four weeks earlier. I said "Ha! You dumpster dove." then called for the check. We left the 5 star dinner early, but by the time I got the car door for her I said "You were honest so I can't hold it against you". On the ride home I said "I was with someone else too" and she said "See?" and I said "But I like you best" and she said "I like you best". We made out at the red light, went straight home and made love (versus sex) for the first time (3 months after sex about). That was 6 months ago and we never looked back. She insists that was the last guy she was with besides me.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

From an evolutionary point of view, jealousy is nothing but dread.
The fear of losing out on a source which can pass off your genes

It works differently on men and women.


For a woman, dread gives her tingles.
A man who is preselected and having sex with lots of women gets her hamster running to acquire your genes before you walk away forever.

You having sex with other women along with her would not compromise on her being able to produce your high quality offsprings.
The only valid reason is it can compromise your provider value - resources, strength, protection if you walk away after sex.

For a man, dread gives him physical, mental and emotional stress when there is a scarcity mentality and an inability to acquire new sources to pass off your genes.

A man you assume to be superior in social status, strength, resources who is hitting on your women, creates aggressiveness inside to avoid someone stealing your harem.
This was necessary during earlier times to protect your offsprings.

Jealousy is like cancer.

You express it once and it grows. It becomes malignant. it festers. It eats you.

There are certain afflictive emotions which should never be expressed.

Expressing jealously should never be expressed. It will end in a cancerous death.

Not expressing jealousy demonstrates a wonderful sense of self control.

Jealousy will always make you appear low value, while elevating the value of whom you are jealous of.

Funny, I've never really had jealousy under complete control, because I've never trusted women as far as I can throw them. I would never blame a guy trying to hit on my women. Rather, I would blame her if she responded to him with encouragement.

In my present relationship, jealousy has not been an issue at all. Now any woman can wander if a certain set of circumstances comes about (usually having to do with the guy becoming weak), but I must say it's nice to have a woman who I'm not concerned about.

I must say here though that she and I share the same faith, which is a massive advantage in all areas. We feel that we answer to a higher authority ( just like Hebrew National hot dogs) and therefore we are intent on treating each other right.

Brigitte Bardot (famous beauty originally from movie And God Created Woman circa 1958) was discovered by a man about 20 years her senior. He famously could not be made jealous. She tried and tried for years, eventually leaving him. In one of her biographies it described a moment that stayed with me (I read it in 1995). After the divorce they crossed paths outside the judge's office and there was a pause and he kissed her on the cheek.

@bigneil and @mrgoodstuff why is this such a great story?
It's the textbook example of how the man who discovered one of the most beautiful women of all time handled her. He only expressed love, never weakness. She could never make him acknowledge that he felt inferior to another man. Meanwhile, nothing could ever make him stop loving her.

She cheated on him alot (and a couple of husbands later)
Jealousy is ego centered and about your deep insecurities
If you cant control it... it will destroy you

It was awesome she knew his stregth and kept attacking it. She realized she couldn't weaken him in that way and bailed out. He still was not made to be jealous because he KNOWS HIS WORTH
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Is this post true ? The woman part ?

I ask because my mistress usually after a few drinks asks me about the wife... Not in a angry bad way but more silly women curiosity...

How's long is her hair ?... does she wear make up ?... How tall ? Does she wear high heels?... How big are her breasts ?... Does she have a big butt ?.... etc.

Puts me in an awkward position... I deflect... I never know how to answer..
