"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.

I know this will lead to TONs of negative replies but I think some of the people here will agree with me, at least a few.

Here's my conclusion, after getting shot down and accepted multiple times.

Honestly, it's all about looks, you will only suck if you have some looks but have a really messed up personality otherwise if you are good looking to some degree you will get girls, but you can't keep them if you are a really terrible person.

Some people her will sit and analyze line by line such as "you should've said i wanna take you out instead of let's go out"...etc. Seriously that doesn't make a difference whatsoever if the girl likes what she is seeing. Look at how they stick around with the guys that have no problem farting in their faces and calling them names...etc

I guess I'm just not as good looking as I really thought because every babe that is a HB5 or above rejects my a$$ like no tomorrow, but every one that is below that I get and can insult her all I want and she will stick around.

You will not get girls when you are above average ONLY if you don't have the balls to approach and show ur sexual interest...that's pretty much it...otherwise accept that you are not as hot.

And yes there are more women that men on earth but guess what, just like the animals you see on National Geographic station, the %95 of the women are all after the %20 of the men.

Seriously, not trying to be racist, but look at how our black brothers are macking pretty girls left and right and knocking them up and leaving them...yet the girls still chase after them, why? because on TV they make them look like the 'cool' dudes.
 

"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.

I don't know about "very controversial." It's your opinion.

Have you not seen fat ugly pig dudes with fine women that were not hookers?

I have.


The bottom line is:

If that's what you believe, that's what your reality will be.


Sure, I've had my share of average HB5s.
Right now I have 2 plates I consider HB8s that came around with little effort.

I think positively, I choose to make MY OWN rules, MY OWN reality.

Admitting and believing you can't do any better will yield those results.

yes if you have loads of money anything is possible but I'm talking about pure none materialistic attraction.
I don't want a girl who is with me for my money. If a girl is with you for your money I guarantee you she is getting her 'physical attraction' pleasure from other sources...not cool at all.

your right...it's not cool at all.

And I ditch them right quick the second I realize that.

both my current plates are hot and not money grubbing at all.
but there are tons of them out there who are gold diggers.

Don't give up. There are beautiful decent women out there...rare yes...but they are out there.

There's a rather below average looking guy in my class, but he is outgoing, always has something interesting to say, and makes a lighthearted joke when he makes remarks. We got into groups and he was talking to this girl and she was VERY interested in him making EC and laughing to everything he said. I am actually trying to follow his example.

It's NOT all about looks, there are very attractive guys who are getting NOTHING. It is a combination of all aspects. There is no "key".
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Wow - I was actually going to comment on how racist your comment sounded. Then I looked up the statistics - sure enough, in almost every state (except the ones where there aren't a lot of African Americans - i.e. Alaska, Idaho, Arizona...) Blacks are the race with the highest percentage of kids and single moms. Still think it could've been phrased better...

With that said, though, part of the reason is because, in low-income areas, people have little money. Meaning, if they want to have fun, they have to do it for little-to-nothing, and having sex is the freest form of fun you can have. Of course, if you can't afford condoms (or can't afford to go to a school that teaches you about things like contraceptives), you end up having a kid instead.

Interestingly, in a lot of those cases, the guy the woman goes after doesn't look all that great. However, they are so dang confident in how great they THINK they are, that they're able to make women buy into it. So yeah, looks help, but it's also about how much confidence a guy has about himself - that in itself has a certain "look" to it that one has to master if he is to score with the babes.

I'm 5' 7" (too short for a lot of women, even the midget girls ha ha)

In pretty good shape. (ripped in 2009 but gained 10lbs since)

I dress well. Not over the top, but well and I have black/silver hair about 4 inches
in length. I'm always clean and spritz a slight amount of cologne. Women have often said I smell good.

I've been told I'm a good looking guy....maybe slightly above average?
I look like that kid from the Iron Eagle movies, this photo is a dead ringer and my current hairstyle:

http://blogs.amctv.com/movie-blog/2008/06/iron-eagle.php



Dated a handful of hotties, going back to high school days.

Thats why I know I can get a hot girl, I've done it. And thats my point to the op.
You have to believe you are the catch. Believe so hard that it becomes real.

But I'm not a rich guy. I live within my means and make the median household income.


Thats all. I'm about to puke with all this talk of me.

part of it is true, if you go out the bars and clubs most of the attractive women are hanging out with big roided douchebag type guys, its just the way it is.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Looks certainly aren't the answer.

Yes they will get you attention and certainly make girls more receptive to your approach but if you're dull as mud and lack the ability to push her buttons, you'll sink just like any other guy.

very true in my experience.

I used to be duller than a rock (in my 20's-early 30's), but I found the forum, made some improvements and learned how to push those buttons. Been getting more dates the last couple of years then ever before. I learned all of that here then applied it.

It can't be because they get a huge confidence boost from the fact that they believe muscles win girls.

Beliefs>Reality.

I struggle with the looks/personality/confidence thing, the reason is this, while I see the good looking guys out with good looking girls/women, I also see skinny phags, nerds, slobs, the bland and boring...out with good looking women, have these guys got game? it doesnt appear so, what gives?
I dont know if its a UK thing but in my experience and observations, a lot of women go for guys below their own looks number to be in control, its just my observation. thats not to say a 5 guy cant pick up a 7/8 woman due to increased confidence and game, I really think they can.

In 2012 for average income non famous dudes

its all looks

and

social circle

thats it

betheman all those skinny faggots you see with hot biatches...they met in intro to lit class freshman year and he started dating her junior year when the basketball player she was dating got caught cheating...right place right time...he put in 2 years as an emotional tampon to tap that azz....not cold approaches.

ALL AVERAGE DUDES DATING HOT CHICKS MET THROUGH SOCIAL CIRCLE

women think cold approach and day game is for losers.

because non-losers have friends to date, they don't have to talk to strangers at starbucks at 11 am.....

hot chicks date the hot, wealthy, famous guys they know until age 23 (because hot dudes don't want them they are used up from too much coke)...then they lower their standards to skinny jeaned fag friends, then at 27 they look for guys who have careers...finally at age 33 when her cocaine lines are showing you can start day gaming the former hottie (looks like britney and lindsey now with owl eyes from too many drugs) at whole foods when she is looking for a provider dude with $$$$ :yes:
 

"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.

Last sunday going into the local coffee shop for an espresso, I was floored by an athletic, short shorts wearing hot college grad. smokin hot. a full 10 natural beauty to be sure.

she was accompanied by the aforementioned.

might have been just friends, but it was one of those moments where you realize...you know you can get that if he can.

Quote for truth. Besides if you really think that it's good looks, quit meeting girls and focus on working out...

But seriously, don't get butthurt because of a few rejections. I have a friend who's in a wheel chair, definitely not a good looking dude but he picks up! Looks helps for sure, but if you think about negative things, negative things will happen.

I think we need to define what picking up means. If you just get a number that's not picking up, if you just chat up a girl and she flashes you smiles that's not picking up. Even a one night stand might not qualify as a pick up because let's face it...There are MANY reasons why the girl would have a one night stand that has absolutely nothing to do with you, maybe she is drunk, maybe pay back to what her bf did to her, maybe she is crazy...etc.
A true pick up is when you get the number, sleep with her, and KEEP her interested for months to come.

Now please tell me guys, can a guy do this unless SHE finds him good looking?
Don't count gold diggers, those are not good women, they are dirty slvts.

I have friends who you wouldn't say are overly attractive men.
Overweight, thinning hair, and average dress sense.
But I've seen them chat up and bang loads of good looking women. Not supermodels, but definitely above average.

But these guys had an innate ability to be funny. They were fearless and escalated conversation almost effortlessly towards sex.
I was in awe because I think I'm above average looking but these guys were getting all the girls (before I discovered game).

So looks might get your foot in the door, but verbally pushing a girl's buttons is a man's greatest weapon. Make any girl laugh and she'll look at you in a totally different light. These guys had a gift for it and it was amazing to watch.

Hey, UK dude. Create two pof profiles. One with you, the other with a hot guy. Results you would see are as follows. The hot guy would get 20 messages in hix inbox per day, while you zero. Looks matter.

Thus, get in shape. Dress like a DJ. Become confident.

But all the meanwhile don't stop approaching women, but not at work.
 

"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.
