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.
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.
Looks like you're up there as well. I would imagine a grand majority of those who sign up stick around for a few mouths than drop off. I've obviously dropped off plenty of times or you'd see a much higher numbers under my name, but seriously, 21 years ago man!That’s actually a really good question.
I don’t know.
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.
I've seen threads on here from at least 2001. This forum might date back to the 1990s.Forum been around awhileeee
Idk, SENIOR Don Juan seems appropriateI'm out here thinking of banging chicks that were born around the time I signed up on this site. ****ing hilarious. I should get a special title.
i joined in 2002..I do not remember my old handle. Wonder How long this place has been around?I'm sure more than a few from the early days have different handles now...

Did it always have a forum though? I like the fact this forum is still active. I hate how everything now is a lot of Facebook groups and those suck ass. Speaking of the forum, I couldn't find my old posts from 20 years ago? Would be interesting to see how my perspective has changed.This domain sosuave.com was registered on 2000 accroding to whois database, so maybe 2000? I am honestly not sure. Maybe its Global Marketing thats been around since 98?

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.
Oh god I know. I wished I was active around the time I signed up. I didn't even start to try to meet women until much later. 10 years ago it was fineThe longest currently active member is probably the admin since he actively gets revenues from the adverts since the late 90s.
Btw what a ride this world had since the early 00s.
