She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
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.
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.
I had 2 pints and a few soft drinks over the course of the night from 6:30pm (had a date) to 12am .How much are you drinking on these excursions?
Be careful the weight doesn't creep on...
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.
your welcome - I hope it helps some guys tbh.Love reading these field reports, CJ, very informative
Just use AI to transcribe them in seconds.@Slag
I’m getting tired of writing tbh it takes so long.
So I’m preparing some audio reports to put on a secure Soundcloud account to share here for a listen. So watch dis space.
like the username btw![]()

The reports do help. Observing a guy's real world experiences is immensely more useful than reading all the endless theorizing that goes on here.I’m getting tired of writing tbh it takes so long.
I reckon hearing it on an audio would be even more useful tbh. It adds more context. (What is sadly missing on forums and essential for interpretation imo)The reports do help.

I keep a few journals for some of my endeavors, and can appreciate the time and effort it takes to recap a night out.
Don't answer him, Slag.I reckon hearing it on an audio would be even more useful tbh. It adds more context. (What is sadly missing on forums and essential for interpretation imo)
And it should be much easier and faster for me w audio musings.
I may have to add some voice distortion tho , for privacy.
btw see above post #75 w pics of 2 chicks.
How would you approach them Slag?
FFS Billy… I was expecting this kind of response tbh.Don't answer him, Slag.
FFS CJ IF THEY ARE ITALIAN, YOU DON'T
You don't want to end up like @jhonny9546. Leave them alone.
I tend to avoid women with resting b1tch faces. Why th would I approach? You yourself described them as "total bitches". The women you described are out to get validated first and foremost. I'd shoot the sh1t with them or troll to amuse myself but a fool would play into their game. Do you approach saltwater crocs at the billabong?FFS Billy… I was expecting this kind of response tbh.
There’s always lots of nitpicking/deflection/negation/ reframing on this forum. Makes me wonder tbh.
I don’t know WHAT background they are I didn’t speak to them in the end. They are aussies of some kind of Euro background afaics. They were 2 sexy b1tches as per the pictures examples.
just answer the question based on the information supplied and how would YOU approach,
And don’t chicken out. Give me 5 minutes quick bullet points .. if you actually have any IRL skill that is .I’m doubtin’
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.
