Do you think that has something to do with your looks?And I am healthy, comfortable & professionally successful.
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.

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.

Probably. I think being decent looking gives one positive reinforcement. And. The realization that part of one’s success is due to looks. This positive (dopamine) feedback loop motivates one to take care of oneself. (work out, skin care, eat right…). I can see the contrast with my friends. Most are middle aged, as I am. And they are Maybe 3.5-5.5/10. But. They dont work out. They have health issues. And lead boring lives.

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.
Sure, this is water. But it's really that you're more for the niche, and not for the all woman, because height it's one of the requirements for masculinityIf one can still get girls at whatever height they are. They’re not too short.
The big three: Power, power, and power.
Very, very few men appeal to all women.Sure, this is water. But it's really that you're more for the niche, and not for the all woman, because height it's one of the requirements for masculinity
I have, but they always have mental issues.I’ve seen tall incels. I’ve never seen a handsome incel.
Yep. Most, if not all, of the incels I know have some sort of mental or personality disorder.I have, but they always have mental issues.
Then again, pretty much all incels have mental issues so this is prob true in general.
Being highly neurodivergent/autistic is probably the single biggest handicap to being good with women aside from being born with a literal micropenis. I think even physical deformities might even be below being highly neurodivergent.
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.
My handsome, 6’1” friend was an incel all through college, but that was from self-doubt and self-sabotage. So I suppose it can happen. After he got a girlfriend in his early 20’s he was never an incel again.I’ve never seen a handsome incel.
What’s DEERing?Masculinity is a mindset. Who the fvck told you "oh he's tall, he must be masculine" Who are you hanging out with?
Look at @CornbreadFed, he's 6'1" and was DEERing and threatening another member to report him cause he felt offended by what some random dude in the internet who lives with his parents wrote on one of his posts, that's not very masculine if you ask me.
Thanks for that. I read NMMNG a long time ago, in the late aughts and attempted a reread last summer but didn’t finish. Obviously I forgot what DEER is.Defense, excuse, explain, rationalize. Its from the book No More Mr. Nice Guy. Typically when a man is so ingrained in his wife's frame, that he's scared of her emotions, that whenever he wants to do something, he has to DEER.
Example: Baby I'm going with the boys to drink and talk $hit, his wifes gets upset, then guy proceeds to DEER "But baby its being a while since I've gone with the boys" or "Baby it will only for 1 hour" or "Baby I want some time with the boys"
Its a form of being afraid of rocking the boat, that the guy thinks the wife or ltr will leave him. But it can be related to everything, when you try to explain something y being afraid of consequences.
In HS I hung out with the gamer nerd crew. We were the anti-popular edge lords. So.

What’s DEERing?
Got it. I apparently didn’t finish my post before. I meant I was incel in high school but from self defeatism and lack of social acuity. I actually wound up fooling around with a woman after high school who told me she had a crush on me in high school. I didn’t even know who she was until I met her through an introduction.In HS I hung out with the gamer nerd crew. We were the anti-popular edge lords. So. I was a HS incel too.
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.
I had a Oneitis in HS. But, like my nerd buddies, was too shy & self conscois to approach. Someone told her I had a crush on her and she supposedly replied. ‘Well, why doesn’t he just talk to me then?’.Got it. I apparently didn’t finish my post before.

There was even a pretty classmate who told my friends, “He can have a girl but he acts like he can’t.” Keep in mind this was a woman I barely spoke to besides “hi” and “bye”.
Same here.Never had the courage to do anything. If I only can go back with all this knowledge...
