"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So I have been reading up on some older threads on how to deal with a womens bad behaviour the correct way. Some people have said that you need to call a women out on her crap as soon as it happens and others have said that you say nothing, but withdraw your attention and affection.

Which is the best way to go? Do you use a combination of the two? Where do you draw the line?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

The only BS I am subject to is flaking, and as soon as it happens once i'm never meeting her somewhere again after that. I don't care if a girl calls to cancel on me before we go out. I just hate meeting someone somewhere that doesn't show up.

As far as any other BS is concerned, I just don't care what a woman says. I always keep a rotation going or plates spinning. One gets silly, i'll ditch her and pay attention to the next one.

In an LTR, I'll call her out and get it sorted.
Anything else, I just walk.
I like and do this.

Most of us here are not in LTRs. So at the end of the day, she's not with you. I have a one strike policy for new women.

I call them out on the spot, and if they don't like it then it's on to the next one. Holding back attention seems like a beta, childlike way of dealing with something.
 

"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.

It depends on the gravity of the offense and the tone in which she approaches it. A girl who is looking down while saying sorry is not the same as a girl who says "That's just who I am; you can't handle it?"

Any girl you barely know should have ONE shot... she flakes, she's out.

I can't even imagine an LTR not showing up without even letting you know in advance... disrespect at its highest. Demote to FB...

You know my answer, fireballs. Attention and affection are a man's only currency in an LTR. There is nothing wrong with setting boundaries ONCE. When you set boundaries and they are repeatedly broken, calling a woman out does absolutely nothing. You MUST remove attention and affection so that she associates your lack of love with her poor behavior. When you establish boundaries, this is what happens. She crosses a boundary? You do not reprimand her by calling her out on it. You simply disengage yourself and the attention that she so craves.
