"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.

It was a 20 year old who got a hold of his parent's weapons. I can't find any description of the shooter's bio just yet to make any judgements, But I do know his state of mind wasn't right.


 

"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.

Mass shootings are often linked to incel status.

The Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 was perpetrated by an incel who was pissed about being an incel. He did also have mental illness diagnoses in his past.

I go there. It was truly traumatizing.

He opened gunfire around 11:57 at the Student Union. My boyfriend and I were about 20 minutes away. I had a class at 1:20 and we were going to stop by there for a bite to eat. We had someone running with tears in her eyes warning us to NOT go anywhere further.
We have class on Mondays. And finals. I guess they’re expecting us to continue as normal as though two people haven’t died and others in the hospital. We have ONE day off for a mass shooting even though we had a week off for a snow day.

My classmates are being interviewed by CBS right now. This is insane.

The motives? Who cares. Some people say he was bullied, some say he was a supremacist, some say he hated women. It doesn’t matter, no sane person does this to innocent people. I don’t care if he was a virgin or an Incel this is no excuse for violence.

I can imagine it is traumatizing from what you've already said.

It is wild to think that 20 minutes is the difference between you being a gunshot victim and potentially dying and you being alive and healthy right now. It is something that many would have difficulty processing.

That's extremely frustrating. I was a college student from 2001-2005.

In Fall 2001, I was early in my freshman year when 9/11 happened. My campus was not near New York City or Washington DC.

9/11 happened on a Tuesday morning. I had a test scheduled in one of my Tuesday afternoon classes. The professor did not postpone the test despite the greatest tragedy on our nation's soil since Pearl Harbor in 1941, which was 60 years earlier at the time. That professor was quite insensitive.

Taking classes on Monday is going to be difficult. I have empathy for you.

Hi @SW15, thank you for your response and empathy. It is still difficult to process and still feels little unreal. The Student Union at Florida State truly felt like the safest place on campus, and it sucks that illusion is ruined to me now. Seeing people run for their lives was harrowing. The peace has been disturbed at a place where we were just trying to get an education.

The fact that so many of us students were so close to the area and keep thinking, god, if we just chose a different path that day or arrived earlier, what would have happened?

Not to mention, the shooter’s gun jammed several times as he reloaded and pointed it at people. It could have been so much worse.

The fact that your Professor didn’t postpone the test on the day of 9/11 is just unbelievable. If I were you, I would’ve gone home and reported him to the administration. I guess he had no heart or didn’t care about anything else about history. What a bot.

If there’s anything good that came out of the shooting, is that I’m now more grateful than ever for my life. To think that an hour before the incident my main concerns was finding a parking spot just seems so trivial now. Life is so precious.
 

"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.

Every one of your feelings is normal and it will take time to process.

That is a valid point about the shooter's gun.

The fact that your Professor didn’t postpone the test on the day of 9/11 is just unbelievable. If I were you, I would’ve gone home and reported him to the administration. I guess he had no heart or didn’t care about anything else about history. What a bot.
It was terrible to have to take that test on the afternoon of 9/11. The professor's rationale was that we all studied for it on 9/9 and 9/10 and should have been prepared.

Other people had to do stuff on 9/11. McDonald's employees outside of the attack zone had to show up to serve customers. Auto mechanics worked on cars on 9/11. Plumbers dealt with piping and toilet issues that day. Hospitals outside the attack zone were business as usual. Physical therapists saw patients that day.

If there’s anything good that came out of the shooting, is that I’m now more grateful than ever for my life. To think that an hour before the incident my main concerns was finding a parking spot just seems so trivial now. Life is so precious.
Yes, that is the kind of thing that happens after a tragedy.

It is good you are unharmed. Your family is happy about that. Both you and your boyfriend survived unharmed.

Sorry for your trauma; I wouldn't necessarily buy all that you're being told though. A lot of these "events" are sketchy af

Dude....you gotta think about the state of mind these dudes are in....maybe if they found this site or something, we could have saved some lives. Society teaches how to make money or how to get degrees or such and such but they don't teach some basic lessons on how to feel good without external validation and basic spiritual education/foundation. That's why I want to write a couple of books on these topics someday, I just need a good publisher.
 

"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.

But I do know his state of mind wasn't right
Yep. That he didn't instead drop by The Majestic Theatre in San Antonio on the night Rogan was taping Burn The Boats-arsenal in tow-and rid the planet of a bona fide pestilence, is testament to this

Lol....I just made a new video...but I only got 8 views. It seems whenever I make videos about sight seeing, playing pick up basketball, going to the mall or seeing some cool mountain...I get a ton of views...but whenever I make some life changing advise that can benefit someone, my ratings starts going down and no one is interested.....maybe I'm shadow banned in that concept...you just never know.

Not just incel status but being a loner/social reject in general. When was the last time a mass shooter was a quarterback on the football team or one of the "cool kids"?

Fate bestowed a most unique experience upon your classmates who are studying taxidermy: Very few in the history of our species spent finals stuffing clay into the carcasses of folks who'd been their lovers, roommates, and weed dealers, just a few days earlier

Shrewd move on the administration's part, offering the families of those cut down free services(courtesy of their surviving students), in exchange for said families agreeing to not slap FSU with wrongful death suits... They get to preserve John Jr or Little Suzy in a state of perpetual youth, and the university isn't out a few million bucks. Even the most grim events can be turned to our advantage, provided we're game to make lemonade out of the barrel of lemons life sometimes hurls at us
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Maybe that advise isn't so hot, and maybe people just want you to start a working out channel.

I was near it, within 15 miles. I drove there all the way from Miami to visit a DMV.

It appears the guy had some sort of mental illness. That combined with conspiracy theories and you got a violent nervous break down. Now he's dead, he'll be dying every day for the next 10 to 15 years, before his actual death. He should have shot himself that day. Retard.

What are you talking about? Are you talking about some sort of Purgatory or something?

He will be put on death row, that's not life. He'll be dying there everyday.
