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 don't watch enough TV to justify 15 bucks a month for HBO...i buy the seasons on DVD when they come out. Wish they had those on the apple TV store.Zerix said:Is it just me or there isn't a single thread on this ****ing awesome show?
Discuss, season 4 premiers next Sunday. Gonna make a day out of it.
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.
Haha, I love that movie, and I love that quote. Greed is good.theunflushables said:Whats wrong with greed and Materialism? In the words of Michael Douglas in "Wall Street" "Greed, for a lack of a better word, is good..."
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.
Ok lol not a whole day but I'm a be chillin with my buddy (who I watch the show with), and since he has east and west channels, we're gonna first watch it at 7, then go to a cafe that's near him, smoke some hookah, roll a joint, and enjoy it one more time in a different perspectiveDeus ex Pianoforte said:Yes, this is my favorite show atm. Just got one of the watches they wear on the show off hbo.com. But Zerix, just out of curiosity...how do you plan on making a day out of a 22 minute long show?
And what are you talking about, "materialism", mahon? They sold their home to realize Vince's artistic dream, man. Besides. It's show BUSINESS. Everyone on the show is in the BUSINESS to make money. Lots of money.
So there is no materialism heh? How about spending 100K to throw a birthday party on a boat or Turtle trying to buy sneakers that cost 10K or something.Deus ex Pianoforte said:Yes, this is my favorite show atm.

I am NOT saying all Hollywood stars are greedy, materialistic and don't give away money...but alot of them are. Materialism and greed DOES NOT lead to happiness because you are always left wanting more. Look at Michael Douglas in Wall Street. Charlies Sheen says something to him like, "When is enough enough, how many yachts can you ski behind?"theunflushables said:I make less than 20k a year, I can only afford to eat two meals a day and I still feel guilty that there are people who are starving. There will always be people starving. Infact stars generally do give away large sums of money for different causes. Remember it was the celebrities who brought attention to Darfur. They jumped on the (Red) Campaign, Katrina, the Tidal Wave, Idol gives back. Yeah, maybe they don't spend a whole ton of their money on causes, but still they give. Which is more than what most of the population does.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Dang, yeah, inform them about that and get it switched. But other than that, happy with your purchase (if there wouldn't have been a defect)?Deus ex Pianoforte said:So yeah, that premiere was badass. I guess now we'll get to see how Medellin does at the box office. Vince will probably get even more famous now. I was busting up when that writer guy was all, "Yeah, I've never been paid NOT to work, before...it was nice, actually." What a great show.
P.S. Zerix, I got the watch. It's great and all, but it stopped a few times already for about 10 minutes. It might just be a defect though, so I'll probably have to send it back.![]()
Yea, it was pretty good. Turtle is a loser, what would he do without leaching off of Vince Chase.Zerix said:Dang, yeah, inform them about that and get it switched. But other than that, happy with your purchase (if there wouldn't have been a defect)?
This premiere was kick ass!! I was laughing my ass off when Johnny was like "yeah, that guy was me, I got a handjob..." haha and then Turtle busts on him haha.
Man, next Sunday is a while away! :yes:
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.
