"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Facebook addiction benefits of NOT having.. Help!

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I deleted my Facebook account around 2010. Of course I'm one of those old fashioned guys too (I've only seen one other guy on here similar to me) in that I don't have a cell phone either.

If people want to get in touch with me, they can call me at home or email me. I don't like posting sh!t to Facebook that'll be stored forever on their servers. I caught myself around late 2009 checking into Facebook every day just to see what's been updated...usually nothing. But the fact that it had ingrained itself so much into my daily routine that it took such priority over everything else, f*ck that. It didn't yield anything of any value in my life.

Now if I were single again maybe I'd put one up and I can see some value in it. But is a Facebook page really going to seal the deal for you with some new HB? If so, why? Why aren't you sealing that deal yourself, in person?

I killed mine about a month ago and haven't missed it. It was becoming a distraction especially at work. I have had the same cell phone number sense 1995. Anyone who I really give a swawk about has the number.

< 2nd guy here. I used it for some time, it becomes quite addictive and indeed doesnt add any value. I recently got banned for some reason, no interest in making another account. Just like in your case, all the people i need in my life get in touch with me thru phone/skype.
I use twitter though, pretty useful news wise
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I've never had one. Seems like it could be used as a tool to explore options though.

I know there are downsides. For instance, most employers consider your Facebook as their business these days.

I deleted my facebook a few months ago when I realized 90% of the content there was people getting married, having kids, or taking pictures of their food.

late last year.

Don't miss it at all.

Tired of the daily narcissism.

Just don't need it.

yes

Read this thread with interest, I'm trying to become more 'suave', and a lot of it is being a real man. Part of which involves not sitting on facebook all day. Thank you. I love this forum!:yes:

I deleted my account a couple of months ago and have not missed it. Like others pointed out, it was a distraction and occupied too much of my time. I feel a lot better without it.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Every single female in her 20's & 30's (my age range of women I fuk) have the following:

FACEBOOK - Instagram - Snapchat - (Some sort of dating app Tinder etc.)

I have never met a woman that I fuked that did not have social apps THEY CAN NOT LIVE WITH OUT that sh!t.

These social apps are such a good way to find out about a broad.

Recent Example

I met a girl in a bar, get her full name. She seems sweet and innocent then I find her FB & Instagram (which are set to public not private) and literally every photo of her is half naked slooter pics.

I then knew to play the aggressive game and ended up banging her.

Keep your facebook, if anything just change the privacy and erase/block the people you don't want to see.

My Facebook is 100% pure crap lol. All I have is memes, stupid shıt and I use it to follow interesting groups. I don't use my last name, no family pics, work pics, personal pics, or anything of value. And I don't Like pics no matter how cute their titays look in their new shirt. It's a joke. People need to stop posting their entire lives on it. I deny snooping girls from pre-judging me from the get-go. If they don't like it, NEEEEEEEXT. I'd never add a girl I'm trying to bang on it.
