"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.

Especially that song "Grenade"

I can't believe he's out there to make alot of guys think like this...
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Are you one of those people that blame music for people shooting up schools? I hope people don't base their dating technique/thinking on a horribly annoying Bruno Mars song.

Man, it's just a song, not real life.
Girls love hearing hearing that kind of sh!t, but only in song or movie form.
If there are guys who actually take the lyrics to heart, who cares, less competition. Especially if they're running around catching grenades.
 

"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.

guys, stop going easy on this clown Bruno Mars.......his song "Grenade" is absolutely influential on the masses, and sends an EXTREMELY wrong message.

Also, what he sings about in the song ISN'T romance.

Basically, his song is about this - imagine you are happily married, and then some guy at work falls in love with your wife when he first meets her. He starts going crazy, starts thinking him and your wife should be together, but your wife loves you, and thinks he's a psycho and hopes he'd just go away already and leave her alone. But no, your psycho co-worker starts thinking things like "he'd catch a grenade for your wife, and he doesn't care that she'd mess with his breaks and doesn't even give a shyt about him".

THAT is what this horrible horrible song is about......people need to stop mistaking it for love, because the girl that Bruno Mars is singing about doesn't even like him and all it sounds like is a psycho AFC oneitis obsession, which throws around the idea of DEATH pretty loosely.
 

"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.

Hell, when's the last time you even heard and damn song on the radio about "love" and "romance" which wasn't bordering on oneitis obsession? How bout letting the masses hear a song about a boy and a girl falling in love and how much they love each........can't remember the last time I heard one like that.

For once I agree with you Assistant.

Bruno Mars is very popular with the teenage girls right now, though. I was with one recently and she made me watch 3 or 4 of his videos in a row. I had never heard of him.

I think my comment was, "What a chump!" And she just sighed and smiled. I said, "Wow, you really have a thing for him, don't you?" She said, "I love him!"

If you guys want a good song by one of these "teenage obsession" artists... go listen to Sex by Chris Brown. Now THAT is a song we should be following.

"Girl you really in for a treat now, but don't fall in love cause we just havin' sex. I'm gonna get you wet. We not makin love tonight."
"You can thank me in the morning, when you wake up feelin hella good. Feelin like you want me."

1) Any guy who lets his actions be dictated to him by a pop song deserves whatever fate he gets.

2) Hmm, you think he's an AFC? Well, let's see, he's now richer, more famous, and can get more tail than anyone on these boards. So what does that make us?

You can call him a sellout. You can say his music is terrible. But don't make the mistake of thinking there is anything average, chumpy or frustrated about a guy that is making girls across the country wet their panties.

There's nothing more AFCish than calling a more successful guy an AFC out of envy.

Well, making crappy music and getting busted on charges of cocaine possession isn't my idea of successful (I for one am hardly jealous), but to each his own.

He is a public figure, I'll give him that.

He probably gets laid more than the op. I wonder if his category can be called "pseudo-afc" or "afc player" because these people can sing in such an AFC way and still get treated like rock stars by chicks.

The bad economy is making people soft. The radio is filled with these ridiculous love songs these days.

A guy sings some love songs to get rich and famous, and the OP decides he is an AFC. Based on SONGS he sings on the radio, are you kidding me! What the fvck do you know about the guy beyond what the MEDIA tells you? If you were a close friend of his I'd be intrigued by this claim of yours but NO you heard a SONG and now your enlightened to his personality. The songs are AFC no doubt but your claim that HE is an AFC is stupid and plain speculation.

Can people seriously stop being stupid and realize that these ARE NOT LOVE SONGS! How many times do I have to explain that these are songs about psychotic oneitis-riddled chumps.......Grenade is IN NO WAY ABOUT LOVE.

No one has a problem with love songs........we all have a problem with PSYCHO CHUMP songs.

Get the difference?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
