Congratulations on breakingR mate.
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.
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.
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.
thanks a lot man,really appreciate the support.especially since all the people around me keep shouting "STAHP, STAHP lifting!!! you will catch AIDS! STAHP!"Krueg said:Don't worry about others switch, keep improving YOU! I do know what you mean though! Keep up the good work.
Pretty much. Look to others for inspiration and motivation, but only worry about your own progress.Krueg said:Don't worry about others switch, keep improving YOU! I do know what you mean though! Keep up the good work.
Are they mentally ill?switch said:thanks a lot man,really appreciate the support.especially since all the people around me keep shouting "STAHP, STAHP lifting!!! you will catch AIDS! STAHP!"
i pretty much think so.gotta blame the TV.:box:[S]alvatore said:Are they mentally ill?
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.
YET another dumbass asked me the same effing question today ..... i controlled my temper and asked him to "get an anal examination from the fat gym bunny."TheStig said:Man I really feel for ya switch, considering all the dumbassery you've gotta deal with, way to push on
the MANAGER of my gym is fat!switch said:YET another dumbass asked me the same effing question today ..... i controlled my temper and asked him to "get an anal examination from the fat gym bunny."
yes the gym bunny at my gym is FAT.how can a trainer be fat? lol :crackup:

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.
Could you lay out the scenario? I'm curious nowswitch said:guys get this, some woman was arguing with me yesterday, and she was quoting TV shows to prove her point....LMAO
the level of retardation on this planet is just.....idk...... huge,i wonder if it has always been like this or its a recent turn of events.....
thanks a lot man.Espi said:Great job switch!
