"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.

Can you imagine a society if we start paying people to dress a certain way?

I mean it would shift the mentality and mindset of the culture a certain way. I mean I would love for the 50's to go back where Men acted like Men and dressed up in blazers and fedora hats. Can you imagine a society where dudes dressed in fedora hats all the time, the kids wearing flat caps and something classy and the women dressed up femininely in skirts and dresses with classy hats? The restaurants and food reflect how we dress and act, I mean look at McDonalds man, can you imagine a connoisseur of a dude dressed up in decent blazer and fedora hat attire go eat out at a modern McDonalds on a weekday? Lol he would look out of place. Well that's just my day dreaming rant for today lol.

"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.

I always wondered how guys could stand the heat walking around in those suits in the middle of summer back in the days before air conditioning was common. I don't think people showered everyday back in those days either.

Hats can look cool, but I've always thought they were fairly useless pieces of clothing, unless you work outdoors and want to keep the sun out of your eyes. Or if you want to hide that you're bald.

That's because you don't know their true purpose! Back in the day crap was thrown out of windows. Hats were there so that crap don't hit you in the head. You have no idea how useless they were back in the day!

And imagine what it must have smelled like in places like New York City where there were tens of thousands of horses in the late 1800s pulling carriages, etc around and basically walking across streets covered several inches deep in horse manure...

And then when it rained...

Eventually it got to the point where they would have needed 250 modern day garbage trucks a day just to clean up horse manure and they just couldn't keep up.

Go look up pics with horse manure piled a long the sides of streets and on sidewalks 10 feet high...

Those days weren't all they were cracked up to be.
 

"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.

Its seems that most people dress however they want today. I prefer it that way. It lets me easily distinguish between those that care and have pride and those who don't.

Walmart showcases the greatest collection of slobs in America.

A Society's fashion is a reflection of it's mentality. If we had more people dressing up in a classy manner, maybe there'd be more classier, more compassionate and well sought out people in our communities man. We'd have less dead beat dads that's for sure and less people committing crimes because good values would be represented externally. Read the Book Psycho Cybernetics to know what I mean.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
