Whatever happened to Str8up?
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.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
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.
I'm sure each gender hates something about the opposite sex, one of the things I hate is how women have to be attracted to men that are leadersnoobolgy said:You know what really sucks. We have to do a group project in my interpersonal oral communication class. Every group gets a question. My groups question is, "How does gender affect interpersonal communication."
My group has 6 people, 5 of wich are female. fml. I'm going to get my point across, but little bits and pieces here and there, untill I can slowly guide them like retarded children, to understand how the world really works.
We will see how it goes.
I'm sure the advice here still is validHalfAddict said:This is why I barely come around anymore, aside from backpacking the gulf coast this summer, starting a great new IT career and dating women that is.
This post is basically useless and offers nothing to anyone. Whats the point of bumping a useless 5 year old thread.
