About your dating life? I want to be more open to them about the girls I'm seeing, but I haven't even told them that I've had a girlfriend before. I want to know about their encounters with the opposite sex when they were younger and things of that nature, but I'm afraid to ask. Do you talk to your parents(well mostly your dad) about girls? How do they react when you bring up the subject? What do they usually say? Also have you ever brought a girl home to your parents before? Does there opinion matter to you? etc.
"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.
Are Any Of You Embarressed To Talk To Your Parents?

"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.
Me and my old man sit around and have a drink and swap war stories. His always start with "this was before your mother and don't tell your mother this but one time when I was stationed in...."
It took me growing up and being a man and acting like a man understanding my dad as a man to be able to talk to my dad as a man.

Sounds like you have a cool dad. It's just that my parents act so immature when i even mention a girls freakin name! Can anybody relate to this?Warrior74 said:Me and my old man sit around and have a drink and swap war stories.

Yeah, mine too. They are both so incredibly awkward on the subject that the only reaction they can pull off is to tease me about it. I've just quit bringing it up unless I have to.dadmonson said:Sounds like you have a cool dad. It's just that my parents act so immature when i even mention a girls freakin name!

Yup. My father is more immature than I am when he behaves, and he always tries to give me advice like "women are smarter than us" and "women are always right".... :cuss:dadmonson said:Sounds like you have a cool dad.

Don't worry. You're not alone. There's lots of us lacking male figures in our lives.
"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.
The weird thing is, my dad is definitely in the alpha/dominant category. He's man of the house, king of the castle. Definitely a good life example.
He just can't seem to discuss the topic of girls with his son without being extremely awkward.

Yeah, I was embarassed to talk to my parents. But, when I opened up, my dad gave me advice like great posts that have been on here.

My dad is awesome, he's completely Alpha and despite being 56 years old, he draws respect from 20 something year old punks. And the women LOVE him. I talk freely with him about a lot of things.
I'm thankful i get the chance to talk to him about it, I know alot of guys never get that chance.
