"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.

Typical loser comment/ mindset of a modern male who views women as the ultimate price( and thus will lose)

For a man like OOP its important to realize that "just happened " will still be a numbers game. You gotta be around women, and ready for action .

Absolutely. I would add that he needs to develop a sense to read IOIs as soon as possible. If he’s not a top tier guy, the IOIs will often be weak or fuzzy or hard to distinguish from friendliness.

Then the guy ends up waiting too long to “stack evidence” and be sure before he shoots his shot. And then he can miss the opportunity and end up in friendzone.


Imo women are FAR better at this particular part of the game. Women ofcourse get approach, approved, talked at ect so their volume is way higher.

Yes.

It’s not easy for the inexperienced guy to grasp just how advanced an experienced woman is. In terms of experience/intuition/understanding of social dynamics/dating/sex, she’s doing Calculus III while the ‘cel guy is trying to figure out pre-Algebra.


Another thing ,like @zekko mentioned, he seems to have his shyte together already. If onky he knew that having your shute together triumphs sleeping with ( a lot) of women. In this day and age it's way harder to position yourself in such a way that you got a steady job. The word is FULL of women who know how to make themselves look pretty even if they're worthless.
Yeah he has a lot to offer.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The problem is that we as men among each other can have sympathy, but the OOP won't benefit from male sympathy.
You are spot on with that, or female sympathy either. Looking for sympathy is about as big an attraction killer as can be.
He sounds like me in that I'm more of an LTR guy. But that can make finding women tricky. It sounds like the main problem with the guy is that he needs to be more proactive (or go out and get what he wants, as you say). Some guys will tell you don't approach women and to make them come to you, but I don't think that works for most guys. The best approach to getting women is with the idea to just have fun, so when you really want a LTR, that can kind of mess things up.

Personally Im not fond on cold approaches anymore, but yet it will always be a skill I possess. And the problem with this guy might be he can even pick up on choosing signals, but lacks the ability to actually close the gap.

Nowadays LTRs start casual. For example, he absolutely can NOT mention to women that he struggles to get women. Every new woman should be a new him, slightly better than the previous versions. Even seasoned players will acknowledge that it's difficult to find a good woman.

All that could more be more accurately written:

"My problem isn't with women... I'm not getting my desires met, so now I'm despairing, and it's frankly easier to stew in my own angst + Doing so feels good temporarily

By contrast, challenging my current belief that a man puts effort into himself primairly for women, rather than himself requires effort/doesn't provide me with immediate gratification. Therefore, I'm avoiding that sort of self-reflection, more assiduously than Megyn Kelly avoids taking responsibility for becoming the extension wearing self-parody she is today"

I mean, women are the most beautiful creatures ever created by Jah, so I get the frustration. I fall in love at least ten times per day.

But cmon..
 

"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.

Oh yeah, I like that, great way to look at things. With every new woman, you are an improved version of yourself. And it's true, if you're putting in the work, plus you're gaining experience.

It's interesting, because I've been saying this exact thing lately - although I don't use that name, myself. But I definitely agree.

I always say:

- Women want to marry Kings
- Men want to marry a hot maid who can get pregnant easily and loves them unconditionally like their mother

I'm sure the OP knows women here and there, I'm sure he could even sleep with some of them. But these women don't CARE about him. And that's what the OP wants. A woman's LOVE.

needing a woman's love is bad news. translation of that is: dependency on her approval.

#1 what can i do to make her love me? this question is the root of many problems.
#2 why do women not like me? this question is just a different version of the #1
#3 how can i be more attractive? usually this is a hidden version of #2

better questions:

what do i want to do ?
how can i get more visibility ?
who is my leader(s) ?
who am i leading ?
who is helping me ?
who am i helping ?

i imagine there are better lists...
