Any thoughts on this?
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.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Nothing else to add, you beated me on the timing again.Or maybe being “impressed” is a result of attraction.
Kind of like when she laughs at all of Chad’s jokes, even the most dry/corny ones. He gets credit for being a “funny” guy due to looks bias.
Or if two guys have the some job, the better looking one gets viewed as “being ambitious” and “having a great job.” The less attractive one is seen as an average “slacker” lol.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Yeah Tony FergusonA guy turns from an obsessed psycho to a dedicated athlete according to his hairline and face bones for most women.
This is exactly what I was trying to say. No matter how hard you try, if a girl does not find you good looking or attractive in someway, no matter how hard you try, she will never ever be impressed. On the other hand, she will even laugh her ass off when a guy farts if she finds him attractive. So, is it true that it's worthless to try to impress someone if she is not interested in you on the first place?Or maybe being “impressed” is a result of attraction.

Precisely. I thought that was what you were getting at, so I figured I would expand on it.This is exactly what I was trying to say.

I get what you’re saying. There definitely has to be initial attraction. But here is the point I’m getting at:What?
There has to be an initial spark or attraction somewhere, so she can see the total package.
It's like "Oh! He can cook too?" or "Wow! He knows how to breakdance?" or "F*cking A! He's amazing in bed!"
See what I mean?
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.
Nothing is fixed.I get what you’re saying. There definitely has to be initial attraction. But here is the point I’m getting at:
If she is intially attracted, she will grade your other traits on a curve (ie more generously). If she isn’t attracted to you, she either won’t care at all about your other value traits, or she will grade them more harshly (ie be less impressed by them).
Kudos to whoever manage to do so, in my life I only got girls who found me attractive from the first minute and basically it was a penality kick with no goal keeper...impossible to fail.Nothing is fixed.
You could flip the situation, challenge her, creating an emotional reaction thats similar but opposite.
Once that's done, you will be on her mind.
Then game her from there. If she succumbs then her passion for you will be even higher/stronger.
Yes. That's mostly the case. Easy.Kudos to whoever manage to do so, in my life I only got girls who found me attractive from the first minute and basically it was a penality kick with no goal keeper...impossible to fail.
R u sure you've never experienced one?It should be an amazing achievement to "game" an uninterested cold girl till turning her on, in my experience uninterested girls ranged from uncaring to openly disrespectful so the simple fact of talking to them was a pain in the ass.
Most guys are terrible in bed so most women wont ever get the chance to say "he ie aamzing in bed!".What?

I have no doubt that you are correct, but how exactly would you know this, even if it is true?Most guys are terrible in bed so most women wont ever get the chance to say "he ie aamzing in bed!".
Because when you have had enough women freak out and say "Oh my God! Oh my God!! What's happening!?!?! What are you doing to me?!?!?" With their eyes wide open and a somewhat scared look on their face as you hit spots they didnt know existed inside them and after you make them squirt for the first time there is no chance they are blowing smoke up my ass. There is no faking that.I have no doubt that you are correct, but how exactly would you know this, even if it is true?
You can't really depend on girls to tell you the truth. And if they say "Marmel, wow you're the best, most guys don't know what to do", they could either be blowing smoke up your @ss, or you could be exceptionally above average.
Speak for yourself lolMost guys are terrible in bed so most women wont ever get the chance to say "he ie aamzing in bed!".
I'm the beneficiary of those guys, lolSpeak for yourself lol
Maybe you should watch When Harry Met Sally. Besides that doesn't rule out "you could be exceptionally above average".Because when you have had enough women freak out and say "Oh my God! Oh my God!!

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.
