"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.

Date Breaker according to the ex

ok so I was going out on a nice dinner with the ex girlfriend just to catch up on each other... No DJing, I honestly just want to be friends with this chick... I can't deal with her needy psycho ways. We dated like 2 years ago or so.

Anyway, I was getting dressed when she came over... I had just gotten out of the shower. I was going to wear these nice dress slacks. I put on a pair of low cut bikini briefs (by low cut they stop about 3 inches below my navel) because I hate having boxers/boxer briefs ride up my ass, like they do in these slacks and I hate normal briefs for some reason. Anyway she laughed hysterically for a good 5 mins, and said If we had still been dating and she saw them, it would have been a 'deal breaker'. At Dinner, she brought it up again jokingly, saying she had underwear less revealing.

So is this really a deal breaker? I mean, Hell, I like em... but whats the response to these?
 

"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.

Yeah, she can think whatever she wants... but the question is... Is it really a 'deal breaker', or is she full of it. She could've just been trying to piss me off.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Heh, she's your ex. She could just be f'ing with you. But any fashion tip you get from a woman, unless she hates you, take it into consideration. :) Guys aren't usually experts in these kinds of things. (straight guys, anyway)

If she would've said that to me I would've just started humping her leg, or doing something else humorous to show that I'm capable of laughing at myself.

Yes, it can be a deal-breaker, if a woman questions your masculinity!

I'll take the woman's word on ths, if she sees it as that then she said it for a reason.

Quit wearing woman's panties!!!! :eek:
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

I'm sure they're very manly 'bikini briefs'. Lots of men wear bikinis. Honest.

Really, would you tell you friends the names of the **** you wear? Then just imagine someone's reaction seeing you with them on, and you telling the names of it. Quit using that gay ****.

OKAY! Woman's opinion here!

1- If you have the body for it...wear your bikinis proudly. They guys that complain are just jealous...and why are they looking at you any way?:eek:
2- Why do you care what your ex says? She ain't getting any tonight!:p Her "needy psyco" ways might prompt her to try to undermine your self confidence.
3- Wear what is comfortable. The last thing you need is a wedgie when you're trying to be smooth. :cool:

You just contradicted yourself.......the fact that she would've been trying to piss you off should not even matter, because a woman should not control your actions. You care and you also reek of desperation coming to the board with this. Lemme guess your lonely and shes the only girl in your life right now. Do yourself a favor and stop fooling yourself.
