Rana is a common nickname for girls in Italy. It means frog. Term of endearment.
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.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Tbf, it's not easy being green.Rana is a common nickname for girls in Italy. It means frog. Term of endearment.
I wouldn't if I were you, I know what she can doYes, her likely nutcase status is why she's using Bumble at age 35.
I agree with your sentences about her pose.
I asked her if she was a virgin.....42yo, tatted up, and these pics make her look way better than she is. View attachment 10655 View attachment 10656
This is same one that I posted before. Educated at degree level…like that matters these days. I’ve met lots of so called well educated people who were clueless.

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.
typical trash I see on the OLD sites around here.Once again this the average in my area, just wow
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
37? She looks like a grandma, Benjamin Button, and a dinosaur had a baby. A really old babyNo clue how guys are sturggling with online dating when you batshyt crazies like this lmfaoo
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.
That's OLD. It's literally not even useable now. Too much trash.37? She looks like a grandma, Benjamin Button, and a dinosaur had a baby. A really old baby
The first looked hot in the thumbnail, but then I realized she's clearly lying about her age with those jowls and sunglasses to hide her crows feet.Once again this the average in my area, just wow
Oh lord the 2nd one. Breast feeding on a fukking public dating app. Now I've seen it all.I got a few more than I'm done cause honestly it's a waste of my time, but I enjoy the entertainment value of reading these
Ain't gonna lie I'd hit it, but kids are a deal breaker for me.I've matched with this chic(in the red dress) 3 times on hinge/bumble. The first time the convo fizzled out. Second time I deleted her. Third time I asked her "what's the deal, can't find any good guys?". She told me it was hard finding a guy that wanted to have a baby. They all had kids already or didn't want any. She is 40yo, spent her good years focused on her career, and now she can't find a man to make a baby with. Lol. Stupid.
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.
