Anyone care to count how many mistakes this guy has made?
Woman Pleads Guilty to Hitting Boyfriend With Baby
Woman Pleads Guilty to Hitting Boyfriend With Baby
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.
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.
Classic. They always are.Dudics declined further comment except to say that Graham had told her she was depressed.

Wanna guess who will probably step up and take care of the ankle biters until mommy is sprung?ExploringOne said:LMAO!:crackup:
The truly sad thing is, this woman has 5 kids. Now she's gonna be in jail for 5 years. Some people should just be shot for their stupidity.
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.
Damn, we gotta spread DJism now, THE HUMANITY DEPENDS ON IT!!! :crackup:Francisco d'Anconia said:
Might as well start grabbing people when I want some new weapons to fight!"People are trying to make a big deal about it, but she did not do it on purpose. ... It was just a mistake," he said.
Especially with 20 year old AFCs sarging wannabe MILFs looking like her and having children with them... :nervous:djbr said:Damn, we gotta spread DJism now, THE HUMANITY DEPENDS ON IT!!! :crackup:
Wait, the guy is 20? I didn't see this.Francisco d'Anconia said:Especially with 20 year old AFCs sarging wannabe MILFs looking like her and having children with them... :nervous:
He's 20 years old and has had a baby with a woman who already has 4 kids and she's an angry drunk PLUS he's defending her actions. Sounds like an AFC to me! :kick:Deep Dish said:I would hesitate to label the boyfriend as one more shining example of AFCism. Maybe I listened way too much to Loveline back in its heyday with Adam Carolla, but I sniff major chaos coming from the boyfriend. The news article didn't provide much in way of the boyfriend but by the mere analysis of the girlfriend and the events of that evening (i.e. coming home from drinking) we can safely and reliably deduce the boyfriend as probably most extremely likely equally as royally screwed in the head as she (e.g. physically abusive alcoholic asswhole).
(Edit: I was going to predict a black woman on welfare and now looking at her picture.... yeah)
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.
Haha, make sure the kid is 13 or older!!djbr said:Might as well start grabbing people when I want some new weapons to fight!
Whoops, wrong weapon! *drops person on the floor*
GTA series kick some ass!Deep Dish said:I definitely smell food stamp recipients... in which case I guess I must concede the question arises why allow yourself to be conned by a baby factory? Oh well, I just turned on my Playstation and will get back to playing Grand Theft Auto (Vice City)... time to swing hookers like bats.
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.

Give it time. He's hanging on making excuses for her. It'll be the way that he will prove that he is a "real man" (whatever that means).penkitten said:the article said her chlidren were in her parents custody .
wouldnt a righteous man just take his own child out of it and divorce her quietlyFrancisco d'Anconia said:Give it time. He's hanging on making excuses for her. It'll be the way that he will prove that he is a "real man" (whatever that means).
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
