whatever dude, i'm dating 3 girls because of myspace
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.

-Don't post pics of you with every girl you've ever seen
-Don't give out tons of info; maybe a job title and some hobbies
-Sorry to guy above but posting pics of yourself flexing is.. well, kinda lame.
-Don't have a bunch of crappy (tacky) musical add-on's and things floating on your page
-DO post pics of you out and about with friends
-DO have a family shot in there somewhere
-DO have a pic with a chick or two (pick the best)
-DO check your spelling and grammar
The idea here is that if you give a girl your name, it's almost guaranteed that she'll look you up before a date. You want to convey a fun, friendly and interesting angle, not that of some roid-monkey bent on conquering the world with his thug friends- sure, you might think that's cool but I guarantee some MBA grad HB10 won't. You want to look like you're approachable (remember, someone may be checking out local profiles and just happen to run into you in person) and you want to create depth by limiting the information, not expanding on it!
This is one of the few times that you completely control the stage on which you appear. Make it a good one!
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
LMFAO. This is total bull****.n00bPimp said:Myspace nowadays is as common as a cellphone, and if you dont have one people will think you're different, but not in a good way. You will be seen as some1 who doesnt have that many friends.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
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.

Thanks!Embrace said:
Good stuff man
My email is never used for contacting friends, and my cell phone had been shut off for three months previously, therefore, myspace is the easy answer. Don't be that guy who acts like an old man talking about "back in my day" and trying to tell US how WE use OUR myspaces, even if we already know what we do with them. That's just gay.penguin said:I hate the old "i use it to keep in contact with friends" excuse. No, you're using it for attention.

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.
