"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.

If ever I had another reason not to use this pro-feminist app it's this.I just read in the news where Bumble will not allow any more pictures with guns in them on their site.I have done quite well with gun pics in the past on my dating profiles..just another swipe at real men imo....what do you think ?
 

"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.

I wish they would ban duck faces as all those do for me is make me think of going duck hunting with my guns.

"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 used to just post a couple of pics of me in Desert Storm holding the old M16A1 rifle and some hunting pics as well.

I don't see how disallowing gun pics on Bumble makes it safer. If anything it makes its more dangerous, because now you don't know who is into guns and who isn't.
Guns are very popular amongst girls in my state. For a while pics of girls at the gun range was more trendy than their stupid snap chat filters.

And @MidnightCity, 22% of females own guns! I've dated several that own them. They usually seek men that are into guns as well. Its a way to set yourself apart from the crowd and have something in common.

On a side note...The chic that runs bumble used to work for Tinder. She got sideways with them and filed a sexual harassment lawsuit and won. That's where she got the start up money for Bumble.

Well guns are very difficult to own legally in nyc and I’m not really a criminal so yea.....that doesn’t really have a bearing on my masculinity. But I wonder what the numbers are for women that own dogs or are animal lovers in general
US cities that are tough on guns like LA,and especially Chicago are the ones with the highest crime rates.The cities with the lowest crime rates make it easy to own a gun.Libtards in NYC and Chicago can kill themselves off though as far as I'm concerned the world will be a better place if they do.
 

"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.

Not really related about guns but I notice that european cities where violence is common happen to have thugs and immigrants to behave the best.

On the other side peaceful and safe low violence enviroments (till 10yrs ago) are the ones where you cant even hit the main train station without unwanted attention.

It seems to me that in a globalized world where no enviroment is disconnected from others, violence in some way or an other tends to level up.

Btw I own guns but at the same time I realize most of europeans (southerns especially) clearly lack the education and temper to make a good use of them.

You should probably see a therapist.

It's okay to like guns, but you won't pick up any ***** by putting guns all over your profile. It's the same concept as pictures of your new sports car, albeit even worse because guns are killing machines and death doesn't make women feel comfortable (all dating sites cater to women). People don't care about your fetish nearly as much as you do.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
