"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

ok i am in the middle on this one. one of my friends was trying to talk to a girl his cousin was trying to set him up with. however for the second night in a row, the same friend came and blocked him. the guy who got blocked is really pissed. like wants to fight the blocker and is never talking to him again.

what do you guys think? i mean i realize that if the girl had high enough interest there would be no way to block. however i also feel that there should have been some respect shown and my friend should have been given plenty of room to run his show.

the thing that sucks for me is that i am pretty good friends with both guys. i tried to down play the block and tell my friend that the girl is just a worthless attention ***** who played two friends against each other.

Blocking is not cool at all no way no how.

I would not do that to anyone I considered a friend intentionally.

Its massive disrespect among friends and it should not be tolerated for one second longer.

Sounds to me like the other guy is a hater to have done this or its like you said she was AW and simply played them against eachother for a laugh.

What kind of blocking are we talking about here? Just some clumsy tactless interruption (due to poor social skills) or actual AMOGing? If it's the latter, that friend is no friend.

Haha, sounds like a romantic rivalry!!!!!

You fvckers! See, it happens to us all!

Where is Pennie? She will set you straight, like she did me.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

i dont think it was any AMOG going on but it wasnt just being socially retarded. I think the blocker was getting a temporary thrill talking to this girl but wasnt really looking for anything. however doing this ruined the other guys chances.

i will say if the girl had high interest level she would have ignored the blocker. also my friend that got blocked probably had enough time to get a number prior to the block.

I don't practice C*CK BLOCKING , however I can understand it.

It's standard behavior among 2 guys with big egos and low self confidence. It's not about the girl. It's about the EGO. The guy who wins the girl over feels VALIDATED and has bragging rights.

I often had a friend who would always compete with me when we met a hot girl. Sure enough, I always won the battle. He used to BOAST about how many women he slept with and how many women wanted him. We were the same in the looks department. However every time we met a new girl, he would try to c*ckblock me and it would always backfire. The girl always came to GURU, because I never tried. His EGO VALIDATION efforts made him appear desperate while my disinterest appealed to the girl's interest.

I never felt disrespected towards his co*ckblocking attempts as I knew he was not truly confident in his abilities. He had something to prove while I didn't.

Sure enough his contempt grew stronger and stronger. I developed a LTR with one of the "C*ckblocking" girls. One day sitting down in a restaurant , 4 months into the LTR, I am sitting with the friend and the LTR. He picks up on something she arbitrarily says and started verbally disrepecting her. I pulled him to the side and told him "Do not ever do that again."

We lost our friendship after that.

the guy who c*ck blocked was an idiot. whether he did it on purpose or not he was a moron.

the guy who got **** blocked should just tell him 'you know man, you just **** blocked me and that wasn't cool'

to which the other guy will probably say 'wtf are you talking about? chill out dude. you don't own her.'

if he reactes that way then your friend now knows that this guy really isn't his friend and is a selfish f*ck.

at which point he can break his nose or simply walk away from him.

if the other guy says 'dude, im so sorry, i really didn't know.' then everything will be resolved and everyone will feel better.

There are few things more dishonorable to men than ****blocking.

There are some rare instances, however, when your buddy may be about to hook up with something so reprehensible that ****blocking may be warranted. He'll thank you in the morning.

But aside from that, deliberately running interference when your friend is trying to get his game on is cause for a mighty punch in the face. It is cowardly behavior that no true friend would do to another.

Sometimes at bars girls will ****block a guy from running game on their friends. This is incredibly annoying. They are usually fat, jealous, uppity b!tches, or all of the above. Or, they could be trying to save their friend from a drunken douchebag, to be fair. There are just as many AFC plugs as there are low-quality girls in most night scenes.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.
