"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.
They got Morgan Freeman!

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

just a bunch of upset women they got pumped and dumped by morgan freeman. That's the downside to being famous (Not that I would know but I'm assuming), every chick you bang sees $$$$$$ signs floating on your ceiling.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Proabably not. He most likely did do what has been stated. Otherwise he would be standing up for himself and defending more than he currently is. He abused his power.

If Cosby is any indication, some of them did some pretty bad sh1t.

Of course. All men who have brought forth are guilty. And when they haven’t been, the accused make has stood up for himself greatly - TJ Miller

He’s done
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I love Morgan Freeman as much as anyone, but guys...banging girls with their complete consent is one thing, walking onto a movie set and just telling 10 women you like their tits and rubbing their asses whenever they're near you is another.
Hollywood seems to be filled with sexual deviancy to be honest (though of course what counts as that is open to debate). But everyone seems to f*ck everyone else, and sleazy people have been abusing their power for God knows how long.
I hope Morgan is not part of that, but defending a guy going around just grabbing chicks asses all over the place and peering up skirts in a work environment as "acceptable behaviour" is silly.
What DOES p*ss me off is how show runners immediately knee-jerk cancel shows and so on just because a star is now controversial. Kevin Spacey may well be a deviant creep, but House of Cards was f*cking awesome and he's a f*cking awesome actor. Instead of cancelling the whole show instantly before he's even been trialled or found guilty of anything, why not finish it one season early with him in the driving seat still, but under close surveillance and monitoring around other staff?
--
On the other hand, I find the way in which the accused is publically pilloried BEFORE trial absolutely disgusting in these cases. A female friend of mine was sexually assaulted, and the guy who did it was a total piece of s**t. HOWEVER...I don't think he, or any other accused person in a sex crimes trial, should be named before proven guilty. After yes, before no.
If the victim gets the right to anonymity, the accused should also get that until convicted. It's ridiculous that a woman I've never met before, in a country the other side of the world could accuse me of rape and immediately the next day the papers will say: "MORETHANSMOOTH SUSPECTED OF RAPE!"

Studios don’t want anything to do with actors who are under scrutiny in the realm of deviant sexual behaviour. They have a legacy to worry about. Dropping an actor means nothing. If anything Netflix gains more fans by dropping Louis C.K., spacey, and the other bunch while solidifying it’s position as a reputable household name; which in-turn builds their brand void of being entangled within the web of drama.
And it’s never just one woman. Usually there is a gaggle of broads coming forth over a period of time with similar allegations. Plus, I’m sure there are other witnesses backing stories up who are not women. There’s more to these cases then what we the public are presented with.
