Whatever happened to Str8up?
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.
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.
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.
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.
