Whatever happened to Str8up?
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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.
