A 5???
You got to be kidding me.
You got to be kidding me.
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.
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.
Nope I might have her low. May be a six usually I'm to busy ****ing her in the ass to look at her face.A 5???
You got to be kidding me.
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.
You are right. I still am fragile. I dont need to get attached. SHe was sick yesterday so I dropped off her gift and chatted with her a bit. No sex. Oh well. She said she would text me so I will wait for that. I think I will cancel my other date tonight and just go gamble with my dad. I think I will enjoy it more. The more I think about women the more I think I should just leave them alone. ***** isnt worth all of the games and **** you have to put up with.Hey man, really happy to read this, just be careful with attachment, you know it!
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.
Low carb long term isn't good. It makes you look flat and causes you to lose strength. Carb cycling is a much better option. Most of the benefits from being low carb without the drawbacks.Two dates last week and two flakes. I just went and worked out. No big deal. I'm starting to feel a little happiness creep into my mood. That is a good sign. I'm going to work around the house today and get a few things done.
I have already set up two dates for next week. One girl is texting the crap out of me. I am trying to ween her of that. Slow texting, ignoring and such. The other texted a few times and stopped. This is good. I don't care for texting all of the time. I have better things to do. One girl is a book editor and the other is a nurse. I have already started calling the nurse hot lips. She likes it a lot. The editor writes me walls of text. It could be because she is used to writing. IDC I'm not going to spend my time texting. Texting is an annoyance.
I think I have lost some weight. I feel lighter and my clothes are loose. So this is good. All I have done is cut out sweets and limit my carbs. I am also working out as much as I can. Cutting out the sweets is they key I think. I will try to go full low carb in the future.
Thanks I will google it and try it out.Low carb long term isn't good. It makes you look flat and causes you to lose strength. Carb cycling is a much better option. Most of the benefits from being low carb without the drawbacks.
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.
You are correct and have given me something to think about and correct. I have discipline and congruency issues. Thank you for pointing this out.I feel like I'm reading a journal of Groundhog day.
Basically this consists of you constantly chasing your tail about every 4 or 5 days.
I've got dates set up--->I don't feel like dating--->I went on dates, unsure how they went/date flaked--->I banged some random chick--->I don't give a fvck about these chicks anymore--->I am not dating anymore until xxx happens--->I've got dates set up
Just confused why this 5 day cycle constantly keeps occurring. Does it not seem counterproductive to continuously be chasing your tail in this manner? You come up with plans but they come and go on a whim it seems.
Hey man, even though marmel is right, don't let yourself think that you are not making any progress. You are, and it shows for example in the way you write now, much more clear and coherent, you have much clearer ideas now about what you want in your life and what you don't want. Keep this on!You are correct and have given me something to think about and correct. I have discipline and congruency issues. Thank you for pointing this out.
