"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.

When buying a car, what is the maximun percentage of your income you should you spend (including insurance/gas/monthly payments)

For all of the guys who already have cars, what percentage of your income do you spend per month on vehicles?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Half your yearly income is a good rule of thumb.

If you make $30,000/yr. (net) don't buy a car with a $16,000 tag.

Insurance and gas should be budgeted monthly or quarterly and should not be more than 5% net income. Try to keep it lower if you can.

A car is a depreciating asset. If you are smart, invest your money and drive something cheaper. All A vehicle is supposed to do is get you there. My car has 99,000 miles on it and my pickup has 135,000[both 2003's]. BUT the money I could have spent on them went into the market this fall. So far, it's made me about 4,000.[course,sometimes the market is a depreciating asset too]
