"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Not sure if this has been discussed here before but thought I'd post this and hear everyone's experience with this kind of stuff.

Basically, my best friend of 10+ years has been dating this girl for 5+ years. We all met around the same time. I've been single for a long time and my idea of a hang out with my friend is to go out, eat, drink, and mingle with (new) people. My friend obviously doesn't mind this because he is always down for an outing.

She doesn't come out with us for whatever reason. Rarely does she do girls' night out things with her gfs as far as I know.

Comments I hear from her when we are out are targeted to indirectly discredit or downplay me being single and being successful with women. You know, the garden variety type stuff like, "You hooked up with a girl? Wow, did she weigh less than you?"....first couple of times, I wrote it off as a ball-busting thing. But over time, the comments started getting more vague to the point that you'd think that she thinks I'm such a douche that she wouldn't trust me with a dollar bill.

I'm thinking this is her way of making me look like "not a good guy" to be friends with to her bf (my friend). That way, he starts spending less and less time with me until she is all he has left to spend time with.

Am I correct in my assessment? If so, how to handle this?

What have your guys' experiences been with stuff like this?
 

"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.

You are correct. I'd go with "Agree & Amplify" with a few well-timed back turns / ignore / conversation flow changes. Irritate them enough so they end up saying something really stupid.

Two exes of my mates commented, on the record, that I am a bad influence on their boyfriends. I always agreed with their assessment in good humour, in contrast with their mean spirit, and kept doing my things. Result: they are now exes.

One of my mates is now with this chick who's terrible and a master manipulator, and I haven't worked out how to fvck her up yet though... What I'm banking on is to get him fit and in good shape again, because she's an ugly chubby b1tch, so it'll piss her off and remind him that he can do way better.

I'm certainly a very bad influence on guys who are in terrible to mediocre relationships!

Women accuse others of WHAT THEY ARE GUILTY OF! They're MASTERS at it...once of the few things they are master of actually. So when they keep accusing YOU of it... it's because they resent the kind of freedom you have and the power and authority you show over women a power and authority she DOES NOT want her man to wield over her.

Women are almost BORN accusing men of what they're guilty of. It's known as projection and they do it SO automatically, SO without thought, like almost everything, they never see it.
