You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.
She's going into real estate and will soon be making 6 figures or more, in a world filled with several billion people who are going to spend their lives performing manual labor, in exchange for f-cking pennies. This is a tragedy on par with The Two Corys becoming multi-millionaires in their 20s, only to piss it all away on dope and floozies, by time The early 90s were upon us
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.
Incorrect. Most real estate agents fail. Most don't do very well. In the USA, real estate agents work strictly on sales commission and lack a base salary. If they don't sell anything, they don't get paid.o

Agreed...perhaps she should change the type of man she is looking for and she would have better success25 is 'aged out'? She still looks very young and attractive too

It was a little bit early in the morning when I replied and I wasn't thinking about the facetiousness. Good work on that as I re-read it now.In any event, the post you're replying to was facetious in nature. I keep forgetting that our cultural capacity to pick up on such things is dying out faster than the main cast of Pretty Little Liars's acting careers

I would not recommend residential real estate as a career because of the commission pay structure. I'm amazed at how many people do it. There is high turnover in the field and that's predictable. Only a small percentage of real estate agents get the majority of the residential real estate sales. Knowing that, I would not want to make that career decision. Staying in bottle service in the short term and then finding something with a lower failure risk seems like a better life plan.As do most folks in every other profession.

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.
Contact the gal in that video, and grace her with your wisdom, SW. She might FedEx you the key to her hotel room, as an expression of gratitudeI would not recommend residential real estate as a career because of the commission pay structure
