"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.

Anyone here grew up in the 90s? I remember watching this show a lot, though it might be amusing, now looking back it might been a bad influence to a lot of people because it promoted Promiscuity, lack of respect and greed. What do you guys think, if this show never existed, would Society be as better as it is now? Just a thought.

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

The long term impact of the 1990s TV show Beverly Hills 90210 is minimal.

There were trashy TV shows that existed before it and after it.

In the 1990s, most of its audience was 1970s-early 1980s born females. It's definitely more of a Gen X show than a Gen Y/Millennial show, though the earliest Millennials might have caught its later seasons.

it promoted Promiscuity, lack of respect and greed.
Plenty of other TV shows of the 1980s-2000s also promoted these things.

Small impact? Lol

Shows like these set the bar and made woman go after what we nowadays call " Chad".

This actually reminds me of another production from The 90s https://tubitv.com/movies/445237/do...y&tracking=google-feed&utm_source=google-feed , namely the words from 9:57-10:10

We moderns could actually all benefit from a RETURN to the sort of mindset expressed there
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

How so?

The more influential factor in that was tech-based dating platforms giving women abundance to demand top tier men (aka 'Chad')

That only happened for Millennial females, who were too young to watch Beverly Hills 90210 in its most popular years.

Speed Dating and classified ads for folks seeking love existed long before those tech platforms you mentioned. Same way young girls have been taking their clothes off on camera for a few quick bucks, long before OF existed

It didnt do much.

Sex and the City was much worse in terms of its effect.

I agree.

Sex and the City aired from 1998-2004 and some of the earliest Millennial women (think 1981-1984 births) were affected by it. I even made a thread in 2023 about a never married, childless woman born in 1982 who cited Friends & Sex and the City as being major influences on her views on mating and relationships.


Rollo Tomassi even commented about this on his first day as a SoSuave forum member in 2004. This was a few months after the final episode of Sex and the City aired.

 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Gabrielle Carteris was 29 in Season 1. Many of them were well into their 20s.
So it is with all these "teen" soaps. At present, the primary cast of f-cking Gossip Girl(which is hardly ancient history)are 40 or getting pretty damned close to it
