"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.

Scenario 1: You don’t live together, see one another 1-3x weekly.

Scenario 2: You do live together

How often are you having sex in a happy/healthy relationship? One friend of mine lives with his wife and they have sex all the time. Another friend lives with his fiancé but they do not have sex daily.

Got me thinking, out of curiosity, what is a about “normal”?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I’ll stick it for the readers.

It is definately wrong, problems are abound, if sex is routine. Evening and if the kids are asleep. That is the beginning of relationship demise.

Personally... speaking only for myself - and Covid notwithstanding:
My situation: Age 56 - Divorced 3 yrs - Dating casually, mostly short-term (few weeks), with an occasional ONS in there, and a couple that lasted a few months.

Situation 1 - Pretty much every time we see each other.
Situation 2 - Not lived with a woman since divorce, but had a few 2-3 week vacations together with someone... on those occasions, every day/night... multiple times most days.

There are plenty of you guys way to needy for pus*y here.

You need a job, a house, hobbies, friends, a mission and kids..... and then we talk about having 1-3 times each day with a woman you live together with for years.

Jesus.... i like pus*y, but some of your lifes seem to revolve arround them. Can i call you pus*y-orbiters?

Get a life asides from fukking for gods sake.
 

"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.

Sex all the time = a happy couple. Hardly any sex = a miserable couple

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. That is true abundance mentality and self control/regulation.

It's what makes us different than the fat pig that eats an entire bag of potato chips when left to their own devices.

I teach my kids this. I leave bowls of candy but they hardly take any.

You can masturbate 4 times a day too but should you?

Sustainability = marathon = self regulation/control = more and longer happiness = less boredom = more excitement

Of course there will be the rare outliers out there, but for the rest of us? More is not necessarily good.

There is no normal. It is highly dependent on sexual drive of each individual, on attraction, on living situation, on how the relationship is viewed at any given time by each person, etc.

The common answers you will get are once a week to several times a day. And I have personally dated women on both ends of that spectrum, and everywhere between.

Situation 1: Every time.

Situation 2: About 3 times a week, more if feeling like it or less on occasion. If it regularly goes below 2 times/week I'd start looking for issues, especially if she's the one holding back.

I wouldn't say sex every day or regularly only one time per week is abnormal, to some people with higher or lower sex drive that's normal and they are satisfied with that. I'm not satisfied with shifting the average frequency in either of those directions, but occasionally I want sex several days in a row or even multiple times in a day. Other times it just doesn't work out to have sex more than 1-2 times in a week, I have a life and a work schedule that occasionally doesn't allow for frequent sexy time.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.
