"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

So i have a perfect example of how women put feelings over facts. It drives me up the wall. So i am going through a pregnancy scare. I had one of those nights when you are not sure where your lil soldiers ended up (irresponsible i know). The girl is now about 2 weeks late. The day after the incident i begged her to get plan B and i offered to pay for it. She insisted that she was not going to take it. I work in healthcare ( low level position) so i know the biology of the plan B pill. I explained to her that it was NOT abortive. You are not killing any fertilized egg. I told her the side effects are basically non existent. There are NO downsides to it. Her responses were;

1.) I dont feel comfortable killing a baby and i dont want chemicals in my body..... (face palm)

2.) I dont want to be one of those girls that always runs to get plan B because it looks bad.....:confused:

3.) If my mom can raise a child with no help then i can do it too....... o_O

This chick is 21 and still not out of college. I barely make enough to support myself let alone a kid. The big turn off is the ridiculous female logic. Im presenting FACTS she is presently ridiculous feelings. I always knew it was a matter of time before i got caught slipping. I made it through my whole 20s without a baby. I guess i just ran out of luck. So im hoping and praying that she is not really pregnant. I cant raise a baby with a person this illogical. This was an ex gf that i dated about 2yrs ago.

"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.

If it is any comfort, your chances she isn't pregnant are a lot better than she is. If she does end up being pregnant, make sure you get a paternity test as soon as possible. I've heard of guys getting really invested in the girl during the pregnancy, finding out it isn't theirs after it is born and it being too late because they have bonded to the mother and the child, so they stick it out anyways.

You can also have women tricking guys into thinking they've gotten them pregnant (there are items she can buy for this too), the guy gives up and accepts it, and then now when he starts rawdogging her is when she actually gets pregnant.

and that's how a mans life gets ruined. The courts won't care what you make or how poor you are, they will take 17% of your income regardless of what it is and give it to her and make you responsible for half the medical bills and if you don't have decent insurance just one illness with that kid can wipe you out. My advice is to get a vasectomy, fight for shared 50-50 custody and make damn sure you get a paternity test to make sure its yours. You lived dangerously and now like me you might end up paying for that mistake the rest of your life, its just the way it is. I hope shes not pregnant and i hope you learned a good lesson if she's not. Fingers crossed for you.

Haha thanks for the warning bro. That post was from 2015 or 2016. I got very very lucky.

Why did you have sex w/o any protection?

What ended up happening?
Yes so this was a post from years ago. She ended up not being pregnant. If she was pregnant i seriously doubt she could have gone 9 months without drinking as she is an ex party girl alchoholic.
 

"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.

Becuz it feels really really good lol. But seriously in a relationship you get complacent. Condoms suck but they are necessary.
Very stupid. @Pandora, you know better. And no, you do not get complacent in a relationship unless YOU choose to. Life is full of options and choices. Select wisely as the wrong decision can cost you dearly.

You dont go raw dog in a relationship? Condoms 100% of the time?

lol this is the reason why I accept that I have to be in a relationship and probably have kids sooner or later... what's the point of having sex if you have to use a condom? that's like listening to music with the volume off.... you're technically doing it, but not experiencing anything.

Never raw dog w/o she being on birth control. Come on dude. This is common sense here.

You are nuts.
 

"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.
