Rana is a common nickname for girls in Italy. It means frog. Term of endearment.
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.
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.
Tbf, it's not easy being green.Rana is a common nickname for girls in Italy. It means frog. Term of endearment.
I wouldn't if I were you, I know what she can doYes, her likely nutcase status is why she's using Bumble at age 35.
I agree with your sentences about her pose.
I asked her if she was a virgin.....42yo, tatted up, and these pics make her look way better than she is. View attachment 10655 View attachment 10656
This is same one that I posted before. Educated at degree level…like that matters these days. I’ve met lots of so called well educated people who were clueless.

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.
typical trash I see on the OLD sites around here.Once again this the average in my area, just wow
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.
37? She looks like a grandma, Benjamin Button, and a dinosaur had a baby. A really old babyNo clue how guys are sturggling with online dating when you batshyt crazies like this lmfaoo
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
That's OLD. It's literally not even useable now. Too much trash.37? She looks like a grandma, Benjamin Button, and a dinosaur had a baby. A really old baby
The first looked hot in the thumbnail, but then I realized she's clearly lying about her age with those jowls and sunglasses to hide her crows feet.Once again this the average in my area, just wow
Oh lord the 2nd one. Breast feeding on a fukking public dating app. Now I've seen it all.I got a few more than I'm done cause honestly it's a waste of my time, but I enjoy the entertainment value of reading these
Ain't gonna lie I'd hit it, but kids are a deal breaker for me.I've matched with this chic(in the red dress) 3 times on hinge/bumble. The first time the convo fizzled out. Second time I deleted her. Third time I asked her "what's the deal, can't find any good guys?". She told me it was hard finding a guy that wanted to have a baby. They all had kids already or didn't want any. She is 40yo, spent her good years focused on her career, and now she can't find a man to make a baby with. Lol. Stupid.
