"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.
Anyone here in counter intel in the military?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
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.

This is true. However sometimes, though not all the time, they were sabotaging the alternative, which would've been Soviet/Chinese Communism, Fascism, or Islamic theocracy. Personally I'd take my chances with the Americans since they did sometimes, though not all the time, force "their assh0les" to step down when they were too bad. I'm not sure the others ever did.EA Gold said:If your into terrorism and sabotaging 3rd world countries and their economy.. Go for it. The U.S. has a wealth of history on interfering in 3rd world countries politics. Have ever noticed when ever their is a disaster the U.S. just so happens to be there. It gives them an excuse to infiltrate the country and with a gun to their head create policies that are favorable to the U.S.
But I wouldn't want that on my conscious. Rightly or wrongly people get hurt doing this kind of stuff.
"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.
How about the time when we tried sabotaging Soviet communism and occupation in Afghanistan by training "freedom fighters" who ironically would be rebranded as Taliban, attack the USA and trigger two more wars in the Middle East for the USA to fight all decades later! And with a bill of over 1 trillion dollars! I think people forget that for most of the United State's history we used to be isolationists. Even George Washington and the founding fathers said we should look inward to solve problems and not concern ourselves with other nations. And we didn't besides a few wars with England. But post WW1 and 2 we tried to control everything that didn't move to our rhythm. It doesn't matter whether we are doing it for a "greater good" it costs us a lot of money, a lot of lives and a lot of face. This isn't like WW2 when we joined to help Europe and China from nations trying to conquer them, now we are just accusing nations and invading them.FairShake said:This is true.

As I said, people get killed either way. But the Taliban did kick the Soviets out of there country and ended up being the catalyst for the end of the most murderous regime in history (give or take a Hitler or Mao).ArcBound said:How about the time when we tried sabotaging Soviet communism and occupation in Afghanistan by training "freedom fighters" who ironically would be rebranded as Taliban, attack the USA and trigger two more wars in the Middle East for the USA to fight all decades later!

F----- studios. Only thing true was the girl. That is how Hollywood works.
My friend is in counter-terroism for the CIA. He says it sucks, just desk work, but then again, he was only there for a couple of years. He is trying to move into diplomacy instead.elite7 said:Just wanted to know more about this field .
