"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.

Did anybody happen to see Family Guy last Sunday night?
Quagmire was teaching a class on how to get laid and even took them out on a bootcamp type outing. There were references to peacocking and other PUA tactics. At least Quagmire did point out that these tips were only to get laid, not to be used on girls you care about.

My favorite bit was when Brian tried to "neg" the girl he was after, Denise.
She wants to leave and he says "Why, you getting more moles put on?".

This site below has a link where you can watch the parts of the show related to pickup:

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

quotes from that episode

"First, you ask about her father. If she says anything positive, then move on."

and then later, after Quagmire has gotten with Brian's bimbo ex, she says:

"I like him because he says things that my father would say if he were here!"

that's deep stuff for a cartoon :D
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

What I find interesting is how they take common mistakes and perfectly exemplify them:
  • You can't take a social misfit and turn him into a "stud" just by going to one of these seminars. It's a total mindset and physical change that takes time, even years to learn and develop.
  • They've got the whole retarded "peacocking" thing down to a T. Do have a unique style but don't dress like a fucking retard.
  • Also loved the excessive negging and C&F. Like good condiments, they need to be used sparingly.
  • "These skills aren't for women you care about, you idiot! This course is in getting laid, not finding love!" :D
Also, LOL @ the SNL comparison and the pirate guy with the wooden... everything! :D

Link to episode.

Overall it was meh, I don't like angry Quagmire. Best part was the SF II scene.

As for PU not being meant for women you actually care about. As Brian pointed out. Then what is the point?

What indeed? I guess the point is to get laid. Now that may not sound like much of a big deal, but if you've never been able to have sex, then it's probably important to you. That's just the sort of guy the PUA business preys upon.

A lot of guys come here because they want to know how to get a certain girl, their oneitis. Unfortunately, this pickup stuff can only get you women, not a particular woman.

It's funny in a way. Guys want a certain girl they care about, and are taught to not care about women, and to go have sex with women they don't care about. It doesn't sound like much of an accomplishment if you look at it like that, but sometimes caring about a woman too much just guarantees failure with her.

Oh, by the way, regarding angry Quagmire. It's been established that he hates Brian, that's why he comes off that way in this episode.

Okay guys, Self-Improvement Rule #12: don't watch cartoons. Especially not juvenile cartoons fixated on anal openings, feces, urine, sperm, licking up sweat, smelling farts, sticking fingers in bleeding wounds for sexual arousement, or whatever else the writers can come up with to make boys giggle.

It can only get you women, not a particular woman - true. If she doesn't want you, she doesn't want you. This PUA stuff is a lot like being a salesman, so much that I could write a long thread about the similarities. Spin plates, for example - you have to do your best, do it often, and know when to move on and still keep the edge.

I don't think we are taught not to care about women. At least not by the tips taught in this forum. I have never seen anyone advocate lying to a woman, for example.

But maybe some of the gurus who make a business out of this have a different attitude, I haven't studied what they say. It is not an attitude I want in that case. I have gotten laid more than probably 99 percent of guys who have visited this forum, and never have I been disrespectful to the girls. I also only come on to girls who I like, which means that aside from being attractive they must be intelligent and mature, which I respect. Luckily, living close to a university from my own university days and onward, that is not too hard to find.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Oh no, scribblec got so offended by my comment about his favorite cartoon that he had to give me a neg rep. People who neg opinions they don't agree with, that's lame.... I give neg rep only if someone is clearly insulting to other people in a forum.

Bvllsh1t,you gave me a negative rep cause I once said that sweden is a country ruled from women where the man archetypal is a pvssy and you got pissed off.
It wasnt a personal attack on swedish ppl but on an unnatural system polluted from leftism and feminism.

Anyway your posts are good and make sense most of the times,you probably skipped enough days at schools thankfully.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
