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.
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.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
never justified to beat up a girl but you're right, 99% of guys would leave or pretend not to see it happening...I'd be very wary, maybe intervene 'cos I know I can handle myself in a fight but still, that guy's 250lb...~attrACTION~ said:And, why would anyone who is not involved intervene? I mean, if I was in that bar, I would pretend to not even see it happening.
You get involved you may end up in jail. Don't try to play "captain-save-a-hoe" or save someone who may not deserve being saved. Why risk your life for something that has nothing to do with you? Like Skel said, you don't even know what's going on. All you see is a fight. Maybe it was her fault that she is getting battered.
I've also been in a situation where I tried to "take the law into my own hands" so-to-speak and ended up in court because of it. Yes, the situation is messed up, but I would rather not get involved. Anyone with half a brain would agree.
Let me guess, if you saw a guy beating his "girlfriend" in a public place, you would try to save her?
Looks like you get what I'm saying then.ricorico said:Some people who just got there thought I started it and looked at me like I was some sort of bully.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

welcome to my block list, dumb assdjSlvt said:AK-74 is more like it, or a shotgun. Sure, if you're in a black neighborhood, who cares. But if you're in a nicer white area, and crap like this happens (which it almost never don't), you'd intervine. You don't have to be big, just carry a lot of balls, no trash talking, go for the chin.![]()
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.
I blame the feminists.ricorico said:Did you notice how these 2 guys stood at the bar and did nothing? Unbelievable. Noone stepped in until that 250lb cop seemed to have lost steam. That's when 2 old guys(who probably walked in from outside) tried to help. Those guys that watched it should get and ass kicking themselves.
I would simply leave and find a new bar.~attrACTION~ said:And, why would anyone who is not involved intervene? I mean, if I was in that bar, I would pretend to not even see it happening.
Yup. no chivalry here. This is also what I was thinking.You get involved you may end up in jail. Don't try to play "captain-save-a-hoe" or save someone who may not deserve being saved. Why risk your life for something that has nothing to do with you? Like Skel said, you don't even know what's going on. All you see is a fight. Maybe it was her fault that she is getting battered.
I haven't, but I know someone who has. I'm not repeating their stupid mistake.I've also been in a situation where I tried to "take the law into my own hands" so-to-speak and ended up in court because of it. Yes, the situation is messed up, but I would rather not get involved. Anyone with half a brain would agree.
FVCK NO! Not my problem. Why is she with him anyway? Pretty stupid if you ask me. She gets whats coming for her mistake and I won't be one to take some of the hurt off her shoulders. Dumb broads.Let me guess, if you saw a guy beating his "girlfriend" in a public place, you would try to save her?
It all boils down to conditioning. The white man will stand there and "think", and the black or latino man will "act". The white man (and this is broad generalization) was probably raised in the suburbs, and growing up, the worst thing he had to deal with was being called silly names or getting a black eye from a fistfight. The black or latino man (again, broad generalization) was likely raised inner-city, and grew up around crime and violence. So when a white man is in situations like this, he'll start thinking, "Wow, I'd really like to do something, but I might get hurt, or killed. Worse yet.... I might go to jail." because he's never been in this situation before. The black or latino man will simply react, because he's probably been there before.ricorico said:Why are white men more cowardly than blacks or latinos?
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.
