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.
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.
dump her. That would be pretty C&F. U don´t deserve a gf ,yet. Learn what this site is really about first, then you´ll understand.inzone50 said:When my g/f txts me asking how my day was got a good c+f reply to that?
Believe me, ****y funny works. It may not have worked for you, or you might not have done it right, or given it a fair shot, but it works. It is like a food condiment, you gotta now how and when to use and how much to use it in order to make it work effectively. You can't just pour it on, it looses its effect.NickBe said:Lay off the ****y+funny it is a myth perpetrated by David Deangelo that doesn't really work unless you are going for 15 year old girls or women with the mentality of a 15 year old.
****y = Obnoxious
****y = Annoying
****y = Clown
I don't see why you would want to be c+f anyway since she is your GF.
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.
****y, yet not overdone, works. The humor part is used to make the ****y part more mellow. OK, semantics, who cares wether it is confident, or ****y, etc. it is the same idea. Ok, so you don't agree with the terminology, yet we are talking about the same thing. I agree with you, most people here will try it and wonder why the girls run away. Even ****y itself works if done right. As long as it is not overdone to the point of being seen as overcompensating for other shortcomings.NickBe said:I am not wrong, you are not wrong either you are just using the wrong word. ****y does not work because ****y is obnoxious, confident+funny works. I do not like using the word ****y with these newbies because they get the wrong idea. Then i have to see posts like
"I tried ****y and funny and said 'I am so hot I am to good for you' and she got mad"
****y does not work and most of the crap David D writes does not work. Confidence however does work....
Although I do go for smart women so maybe ****iness works with your run of the mill white American chick. If I wanted to spend my days discussing American Idol and fast food maybe I should be a little more ****y. Who knows...
Seriously though, women love confidence and deplore ****iness. Confident+funny works not ****y+funny.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
