"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.

Stuff that is ok to eat while drinking:

- Anything that has actuall BREAD and isn't greasy.

- Peantus

- Fruits (they help the stomach)

- Certain soups (Chicken Noodle almost exclusively)

- Crackers

Also Capt. Jack(off) Sparrow ;) , I don't get hanagovers. Just that one overwhelming urge to die that night.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Thank you!! All of yall are making this out to be more that what it is. The first time i drank i had skyy vodka, about 7 shots. I was pretty faded. Just dont be a retard and see how many shots you can take in a minute and so forth. If you feel good, keep going.

A good rule to know when you're drunk enough to either slow down a bunch or quit for the night (especially since you're not used to drinking) is "stop when your lips get numb." If you stop then you'll never get so drunk you embarrass yourself, yet you'll be drunk enough to have a good time.
 

"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.

The true technique to take a shot without coughing and puking like a fairy is to hold your breath and gulp that ***** so you don't breath in the fumes or whatever that nasty **** is and after gulping it exhale ........yeah, I can take up to 4X more shots than with just gulping it like water.

Listen to Eternal, he did an excellent job!

Just take it slow, bro.

I had a friend that didn't take it slow and his heart even stopped beating because he had drank too much......

Just listen to what Eternal said and you'll be alright. ;)

make sure you eat b4 you drink. never drink on an empty stomach- not good.

depends on what you drink to how fast u get drunk.
liquor will get u drunk faster, and beer takes awhile.

never mix beer and liquor either, VERY VERY VERY bad. you will feel sooooo fvcking sick, and probably will puke.

one time i had 3 beers, 3 shots of tequila, 2 more beers, 4 shots of vodka, and then another beer. I puked my brains out, and then passed out. I had the worst hangover in the morning too.

if you dont want too terrible of a hangover, drink beer right when you get up. not a lot, but 1 or 2

if you are a newb to alcohol, go slow, and dont rush.

I must be a very odd exception to the "peanutes while drinking rule:" I barfed the hardest and longest I ever have when I mixed peanuts and beer. Maybe it's just me, and maybe I had too much of either (check: I certainly had too much of both), but peanuts did me wrong.

Note: Leftover drinks the morning after DO NOT EQUAL quick breakfast. Screwdrivers may be part orange juice, but that does not make them "part of this balanced breakfast."

Men, you should come to eastern Europe :) Two months here and you know drinking as a brother brother :D
But I remember times when one bear got me drunk...
 

"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.

last bits true and when you wake up the next morning ur ****ed.

The best food, especially while ur drinking is chips (preferably slightly undercooked) and not like McDs, like fish and chip shop, proper large lumps of carbohydrate that help absorb it and let you digest teh alcohol. I tend to like to have solid foods in my stomach rather than watery rubbish, cos then it absorbs it rather than dilutes it. Both work though.

btw if you dont feel too well, cold air works wonders

Easy way to remember it:

Liquor then beer, you're in the clear.
Beer then liquor, you've never been sicker.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

I ate a piece of bread, well tried, after 13 unlucky shots of vodka. Threw up for about 2 or 3 hours after that. Can't really blame it on the bread but hey. Just take my advice and don't do that. And if you do you'll hear my voice ringing in your ears while you're lying in a puddle of puke. Not a nice site either. [[[[Take it easy]]]], and only drink as much as you want is the best advice i can give
