Oh god that's nasty!!The Inside Man said:But it IS def. possible to get it from making out, my bud said the girl he was making out w/ had a sore but he was too drunk at the time to notice or care. BARFF
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.

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
what STD(s) do you have?Drum&Bass said:THE MEDIA WILL HAVE YOU BELIEVE ALL THIS BS ABOUT STD'S !!!!!
They overhype these things and scare people into not having sex. Diseases have been around for ages, they are a part of life. Everyone probably has some disease living inside of them right now but doesn't get as much attention as certain diseases that are caused through sexual contact.
This is NOT an era of sluts and whores !!!! it is an era of human beings behaving as they always have !! the media knows this and they realize that if they can OVER HYPE STD's it will terrify people into having safe sex or no sex, which in turn is a form of subconscious population control.
It's not a bad plan, because it has everyone scared to death of easily treatable or curable diseases. It also keeps people using condoms for fear of these diseases which prevents an explosion in unwanted pregnancies (which is not a bad thing).
Now the media has struck a gold mine with the herpes scare !!! EVERYONE is scared of herpes, but no one realizes just how EASY it is to catch herpes.
and most rashes can pass for symptoms as herpes..and if diagnosed people will have to take meds for the rest of there life. Funny thing is, herpes tests are so flawed and riddled with false positives. Also why do herpes tests cost SOO MUCH money if it such a threatening disease ?? Doctors know that herpes is no big deal, but scare tactics will have people believe there lives are over and need to spend money on meds and counseling, in the meantime the doctor and pharmaceutical companies are laughing all the way to the bank.
This is how pharmaceutical companies work !
THEY play up the fears of unsuspecting masses and then milk everyone for money.
Ever notice why a majority of meds have to be taken for life ?? People are like batteries. They live to give money to corporations who use scare tactics.
If your naive enough to buy into the scare tactics of companies STOP HAVING SEX FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE..
and if you happen to catch something YOU CAN BECOME PART OF THE OVER PARANOID SHEEP THAT SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES SHELLING OUT MONEY TO PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.
I think condoms are good way to go, but just realize that the std info provided through CDC and other sources are just scare tactics for stupid people who otherwise would be having unprotected sex.
here s the million dollar question: if you had a choice between having one of those "easily treatable or curable diseases" or not having one, would it be indifferent to you? just because some STDs are curable (no need to point out that the real dangerous ones are not...) does that mean you shouldn't worry about them?Drum&Bass said:It's not a bad plan, because it has everyone scared to death of easily treatable or curable diseases.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
This one sentence sums it all.Joe The Homophobe said:if they aren't giving you std's they are marrying you and divorcing you and taking your dough.
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.
You sound like Al Bundy from that show 'Married with Children'.aldaris said:i swear that this problem started back in my days as a pigskin stud in high school. i admit it. i had lots of sex with lots of chicks. i was probably infected with a few of these std's when i was getting my meat muscle some work (well, actually a lot of work). you can all blame guys like me. you hated us back at washington high and you still hate us today. who knows, maybe that hor that made your d--- turn green was moaning, "touchdown" back in my day.
this is why the mature men forum is so sad. nothing worse than being a 30-something guy in america who missed out on all the action back in high school. i feel your pain. i really do. i don't know what such pain would feel like, but i imagine it gnaws at you every single day. me? all i have to do is read the entries in my high school yearbook. "hot stuff", "hottie", "hunk" - those words occur over and over in my old yearbooks.
no, i sell cell phones in the middle of a suburban mall. i wear a tie and suit so i look really impressive. :rock:My Name is Nobody said:You sound like Al Bundy from that show 'Married with Children'.
"I scored 4 touchdowns in one game in high School!"
Do you sell women's shoes too?

Bible_Belt said:Saddest story I ever heard
A friend of mine in Barbados just learned that her maid has HIV. She got it from her husband, who got it while in California as a migrant farm laborer. He also gave it to his mistress...and here is the sad part...his two teenage daughters.

My Name is Nobody said:How did he give it to his daughters? Don't tell me it's what I'm thinking...
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.
