"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

From what I can tell branch swinging is an unspoken acceptable practice amongst the female species. Personally I find it insulting and have rejected many women who have tried it. What really gets my goat is branch swing overlap. This is where the woman retains the boyfriend until she is certain the new branch will not break.

So I'm just putting this out there to see what you guys think and how you respond to these situations. I think it lowers value and self worth if you are willing to accept a women under these circumstances.
 

"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.

Dear Window,
I can see your point,In the past it has happened to me.....Bit of an upset to the ego,but I was always the realist....without a steady outlet for my carnal lusts,having assured myself about the health risk,I just cast a blind eye,until as Mr Micawber says "something turns up"......Stillagain..."He who is without sin,let him cast the first stone"....We should have another survey (Tee Hee).

"Accepting" a woman who is still stuck on another branch is definitely a non-starter.

"F*cking" her while she's still stuck on another branch...that's a horse of a different color. :D

To you or from you? If from you, then no, you didn't reject them. They rejected you.
 

"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.

Agree with Squirrels. Bang the sh!t out of them but under no circumstances start a serious relationship. You'll just end up being the next branch to snap.

To justify and disguise the worst of their hypergamous nature, women who branch swing frequently concoct "abuse" accusations about the old branch or exaggerate his negative qualities.
I wonder how many clueless chumps have been the subject of character assassinations on GNO's.

It's all right........ if u have a good time!
I read on therawness about how pimps used to deal with branch-swinging *****s. Absolutely great

She needs to pay a leaving fee to the old pimp, a bond to the new pimp, and then the two pimps meet up to pass the *****'s possessions and settle the situation without a female in the middle stirring both pimps up separately and blowing things out of control.

Unfortunately we can't have a system like this in normal relationships. But I will not accept a branch swinger into my life without a massive investment on her part to get me there, and even then I'll probably dump her a month later anyway.

If they can swing to you, then can easily swing to another branch. No respect for women who can't end a relationship before moving on to the next.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I'm not entirely sure what all the outrage is about.
First off, ALL girls have boyfriends, right (as we've been told so many times here)? So of course she is going to have to branch swing to get to you. If you're not going to date branch swingers good luck finding a girl.

Secondly, guys want the best value mate they can attract too. Girls just go about it in a different way. A guy will fvck five women at once and pick the one he likes the best. Women tend more to be serial monogomists. So they keep a boyfriend until they find one they like better, then grab that one. If you get caught on the wrong end of this it can be unpleasant, but there shouldn't be much surprise about it.

The trick for a guy is to make sure you're on the high branch. Make sure you're a high enough value guy so that if she wants to branch swing she has nowhere to go but down.

It's disturbing for men because we tend to be more loyal in our relationships (not faithful, but loyal). Give us a nice girl and we're more likely to be satisfied.

I would go as far as to say that all women do this. Especially as dusk approaches on the relationship, to quote Doc Love: "women always have another turkey lined up".

One way or another, it's almost always true.
