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.

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.

Good to see another older guy with experience of the real world.Bible_Belt said:Wyldfire certainly makes sosuave show its collective a55. The thread where you fvcking losers insulted her left and right because her son's gf got pregnant is a disgrace.

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.
lol...I know...I had just explained that I have the strongest personality out of all the women that post here, which is why I get the strongest reactions. Someone mentioned that I sounded arrogant when I said that...so I made a joke about it to you, since you were the first person beside me with boobies that showed up. Boobies rock! :rockon:penkitten said:sheesh, i never said arrogant or biotch.
now these guys are going to think we flame each other.
and put us both on their iggy lists.
its nice to see you back sweetie.
lol...I try not to bounce mine...they're so big they could take an eye out.penkitten said:(o)(o) mine bounce too!!
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.
I know what you're saying...and I'm genuinely very glad to know that there are at least a few guys on here who are able to think outside of the collective views held here.Bible_Belt said:I am a little cranky since I quit smoking. Des did not deserve all of that, but I still think calling someone a sh!tty parent is below the belt. My friends who have kids would consider that the worst possible insult.
It's not a black and white issue. There is a spectrum here, between chauvinism, no respect for women, and feminism, which is too much respect for women. All of us are going to fall at a different place on that spectrum. And what works best will vary with different women, and it will also vary depending upon where you are in life, and what you want out of the interaction. Younger guys who just want to rack up sex partners do well as chauvinists, but when you find a girl that you want to keep around, you will have to give her some respect. This is less than putting her on a pedestal, but more than treating her like just another piece of a55. Respecting a woman is not the same as being a needy wuss.
Also, all bets are off in the bedroom. Even the most respectable woman will like to be treated rough from time to time, but I consider that as merely respecting her wishes!
You know you need to knock that sheeit off GG...I knew I shouldn't have joked around with pen.godsgifttowomen said:Wyldfire will you be my internet girlfriend? :flowers:

Is that what all that was about?but I still think calling someone a sh!tty parent is below the belt
lol...Des thinks I'm such an amazing parent he asked me to adopt him and be his Mommy! hahaha.Desdinova said:Is that what all that was about?
I think something that I wrote got misunderstood. I wasn't calling Wyld a 5hitty parent, I was referring to the others who were calling her a bad parent. I know that sometimes my words don't come out through my fingers the way I would want them to![]()
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.
No problem. Just share your woman with me and it's all goodok. Thank you for not flipping out on me like a flipped out on you. Peace.
Much of her advice rings hollow after hearing her life story. It seems that her best advice is in her ACTIONS not in her WORDS.Posting personal information makes it easy for people to attack you.
It's your story...I'll let ya tell it...godsgifttowomen said:If I saw you in real life you'd be no match for my charm. Which is a good thing.![]()
