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.
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Stop calling my girlfriend out you jack ass! Sarah has never been in a fight in her life and as long as I'm around I'll make sure she never does.Originally posted by Brother_Rapp
Sarah, I'm sorry I meant PRM.
If your wife to be should punch you in the face, would you been over and tell her to stick the dildo in while she's at it or would you kick her a**?
Brother Rapp is just a straight dumb ass aequitas. He's done too much acid in the 70's and smokes too much weed now to have his mind in the right place anymore. He views women as second class citizens and this is why he thinks the way he does.Originally posted by ~ªêQµïTª$~
Brother_Rapp: I feel sorry for ANY women that knows youTo me it seems that you are trying to act like a wannabe gangster, or maybe u are one?
Either way, you got alot to learn on how to treat a woman, and I suggest seeking some anger management help, and maybe a few "how to treat women" classes
.... Seriously man... your way of thinking will only lead you to MORE trouble and probably jail one day... Snap out of it!

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'd rather be the MAN who knew to walk away before beating a girl who in all likely hood can't handle themself nearly as good as you can in hand to hand combat.Originally posted by Fatality
Would you rather be known as the guy who hit a girl or the guy that let a girl beat him up?
Whether you are man or woman you shouldn't throw a punch if you can't take one yourself.
Got that much right loser.Originally posted by Brother_Rapp

You and I don't have shyt to talk about.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Exactly they can't handle themselves as well as a man can physically so they should never under any circumstances hit a man. A 5'2 guy with a half a brain would never hit a 6'5 guy because he knows that most likely he can't handle himself as well physically. Just because she's a woman she's allowed to hit a man? I thought they wanted equality these days. Don't give me bull**** that women won't like him because he hit another girl.Originally posted by PRMoon

There's nothing wrong with walking away from a girl hitting you. No one will think less of you because you don't have anything to prove physically.
I'm in partial ageement with you. I have fought girls in the past but they were fair fights, where the girlswere well equipped. But even in those circumstances I didn't fight to kick their asses, I just fought for a stalemate. Even when it's "justified" I don't feel right about hitting women. I also don't feel right fighting guys who aren't prepared for the engagment they stepped into.Originally posted by Fatality

I just feel that if anybody hits you first you can hit them back. I wouldn't hit a girl if she slapped me for doing something wrong but if she bloodies my nose it's on.
