"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Ok so I got what I asked for and now I feel a bit sad :(


I was talking to this girl for a few weeks, not really having much interest in her and somewhat complaining to my friend about her lack of certain qualities (i.e. she mostly talked about herself, didn't asked too many questions about me and was somewhat not sweet enough)

So I was trying to figure out what I should do with her and then she made it easy for me. I called her last night and left a vm and she didn't call back.
I know It's only been a day but usually she texts me if she's busy.

I admit that even though I wasn't into her and that she isn't probably not good for me; it was nice having someone to talk to and to have that feeling of being thought of at times.

Before you pass judgment ( and it's ok if you do) I have many great challenges last year, mom passed away and then 3 days later I found out my ex gf cheated on me. :kick:

But call me an AFC or whatever, I have had my shares of ups and downs since then. If anything I'm so frustrated with the endless disappointments, flakers and such.

I'm not looking for the perfect mate, actually I stop looking and then I was fine until I engaged myself with this chick that put a kink in my delusional emotional armor.

I'm definitely not going to call her back, I texted her on the weekend and left her a vm and that's enough. Luckily I met up with a friend the other day and maybe I can at least start a friendship.

Sorry for the rant but I needed to vent this stuff out.

Cliff notes version:

met a girl didn't really like
she stopped being responsive
I realize I needed someone to talk to
now I feel a bit a lost
learned my lesson again, moving on..
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I have a story so disturbing that I won't post it for fear of embarrassment. You'll be fine, this is natural. It's just your ego talking. Each time this happened to me, my ego got a little less involved. You just need to let your ego get beat up a little bit.

My condolences man over all your pain.

I lost my father to cancer in 2004 so I know losing a parent can be rough.

Anyway though good lesson in your post to be mindful of the present and your needs in that time frame.

Very sorry to hear about your Mom.

Regarding your ex - think of it this way, she did you a favor by setting you free. No longer will you give away your power (ie frame) to a woman. You are the prize each and every day no matter whom you are spending time with. Got it :)

Regarding this current gal. Take this opportunity to recognize something. Your wondering about her after she flaked on you is the very slightest (and subtlest) beginning of the onset of One-itis. Spinning plates is not only a healthy thing for a MAN, it does wonders to cure (and better yet deter) One-itis. Always try to recognize One-itis immediately and work to kill it off. A guy's time is way to valuable to be spending it waiting for a phone call or txt message or email. Trust us, many of us have been there and done that.
 

"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.

Thanks guys, I'm glad I have a place where I can discuss life matters with mature individuals.:)

When you think you know enough, then comes along some random chick that puts you back in your place in a heart beat.

Ok so update, she texts me giving me the "my cell is broken and she's been missing texts and dropped calls" excuse.

I don't know what to believe but I guess I should just play along and keep spinning plates.
