"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.

Just a convo i was having with a plate and her friend. They were saying that a guys voice can either be a turn on or a turn off. Voice is often like scent. If a girl finds your scent or voice attractive, then its a boost to you. This is something we often overlook. There is not much we can do about your voice. There are some things you can do like try to speak more slowly and in a more deep voice. Just something I thought was interesting.
 

"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.

The sound of someone's voice is very important. Mine is naturally low and a little rough. Women love it.

And the sound of a woman's voice is a make or break for me. If her voice is too high pitched or she runs her mouth too much, I just can't go there.

You don't have to try to speak slower or deeper. It doesn't make a big enough difference in the grand scheme of it all.

But it is true that your voice is like a scent.

I've never had a whole lot of bass in my voice (which is why I avoid loud clubs, parties, etc.) BUT I do speak very well and am confident and articulate in how I speak. Now don't get me wrong, these guys with real deep voices have it made, but it's all about working to your strengths and improving those as best you can.

I've never had a problem with this, my natural voice is deep and resonant. But, for sh!ts and g's, I've done this trick before. Works instantly and lasts for several hours. Have fun!

 

"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.

Voice and cadence (the rhythm that you speak with) can both be extremely sexy.

If you want an example of cadence, think of William Shatner's Captain Kirk on Star Trek. His cadence is not what you want to emulate really (please no - that would be ridiculous)...but it's a good example of what cadence is.

I really appreciate a good resonant voice. But it isn't a deal breaker if you are otherwise appealing.

Issac Hayes (1942-2008) as Chef in South Park. He had a deep voice and had good candor in character. :up:

I have a slightly effeminate sounding voice. But, it is what it is.

On the other extreme, I used to chuckle listening to a certain seduction guru (who shall remain nameless) who used to FORCE his voice to have extra bass. It sounded so tryhard.

If you naturally have the deep voice, great. If you don’t, you don’t. Don’t force it.

"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.

Just one more ridiculous thing women can use to filter out men. Next Tinder will require voice submissions. lol.

I agree with this. Was just thinking it the other day watching some reruns of Star Trek Voyager. Kes's voice alone gets me hot and bothered. A little on the deep side as women's voices go.
