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.

Wyld, I like you and your posts, typically. But NEVER describe a fight like this again. If my girl said this to me, it would make me want to tar and feather her.Wyldfire said:the hairy dude kicked the guy in the checkered bloomers really hard in the head
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
I don't watch fighting...not my thing. And I didn't know the names of the two guys...so I described what it was about them that stood out to me...excessive body hair and the gawd awful checkered speedos.MetalFortress said:Wyld, I like you and your posts, typically.

*note...I am VERY shallow...so I notice how the guy looks, not his name or how good he does or doesn't fight, lol.
Of course they do.Kwello said:See guys, looks matter.
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.
Well, one of the names was right here in this very thread, and the other can be found simply by typing UFC into Google News, or going to ufc.com. It's not that hard.Wyldfire said:I don't watch fighting...not my thing.

You're quite welcome. I would imagine his ankle is messed up pretty bad based on the way he fell on it. Feet just don't turn so that the toes are pointing behind a person. It looked like it hurt really badly.Rata Blanca said:Thanks for the link Wyldfire.
Gabriel Gonzaga dominated the whole fight it was amazing. I wonder if Cro-cop's ankle was broken of something
Yeah, I could have...but I don't like fighting so I really don't care who was fighting or what the name is of the organization they fight with. I just know I don't like excessive body hair or speedos, lol.MetalFortress said:Well, one of the names was right here in this very thread, and the other can be found simply by typing UFC into Google News, or going to ufc.com.

That don't matter anymore cuz Pride is part of UFC now NEWB! Crocop is overrated, FEDOR EMILIENKO IS SO MUCH BETTER 24-1! Pride fighters are good they just have to get used to the UFC rules cuz it's different. Chuck Liddel and Anderson Silva were both PRIDE FIGHTERS! Now they're both UFC. I know that Rampage Jackson is going to win over Chuck Liddel though, he is a better striker and is stronger. Crocop has a weak chin and he didn't fight hard at all, I'm thinking he's going to retire soon.Skel said:Pride fighters might be overrated but crocop is not. Its just that the UFC fighters are underrated.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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.
