"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I think I'm going to divorce my wife. I want to work things out but looking at her facebook page where she says she's single and interested in men is disturbing me. She use to really love me but after three years I'm through there's no pictures of me on her facebook or myspace and just of her and my son. She never talks anymore and she keeps paying the same phone bill with her checks. I don't care about paying child support and I won't have to pay alimony. I just need the pain to be over any advice
 

"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.

Don't bring up the *REAL* issues which are causing problems in the marriage. Treat it as a STR with a woman you've only been seeing for a few months. Let her know that the relationship isn't working and that maybe the both of you would be better off going your separate ways.

Now that the marriage is over, it's useless to discuss the problems in it. Why keep talking about something that you're throwing in the trash? It's pointless and unproductive. Focus on moving forward, don't focus on the past.

KEEP THINGS PEACEFUL. She will look for revenge if her head is on fire and will be determined to screw you over. Sadness and crying is okay, just avoid heated arguments.

Sit down with her and hammer out a separation agreement ASAP. It's easier, less stressful, and cheaper if you do all this outside the courtroom.

Good luck

Great advice, D!

Unfortunately, or fortunately for some; I can tell you've been there and done that.

If you initiate divorce, just remember the above advice. Also....watch for the flip later when she might try to lure you back in with sex. It's a trap to get you wide open emotionally and exact revenge by dumping you. Sad but true, they stoop that low. Trust me, watch for the hook. Keep your guard up, you're in a fight now son. Emotional warfare is the Modus Operandi.

Make sure you cut financial ties (joint accounts, getting her name off of your phone bill etc etc) sooner rather than later (preff before you have the "Talk").

Put some cash away and have a place (or at least a plan) on where you are going to live right after.
 

"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.

IF she charges you with abuse, the cops will give you 5 minutes to get your stuff and move out[the rest will disapear while you are gone]SO get a credit card in your name only[bills coming to a relatives,your office etc]Get her off all your accounts,stash some cash in you office desk drawer etc. Make a list of what stuff you'd like to keep-pictures etc. make copies[originals will vanish].


Read $crew the b1tch-a book from palladin press first. When YOU are finally ready-file. DO NOT wait for her to file. She can empty the house,charge on the cards,charge you with abuse etc. SO you can end up with 1]no clothes,2]no money,3]no credit card or cash to hire a lawyer,4] no place to live. Her first punch may daze you enough to win the fight.

You are now adversaries-think USA and Russia. You MAY not end up in a nuclear war,but it's best to plan for it.

Marriage counseling only works if SHE is also willing to change. A woman isn't wrong,so it's a waste of time. BUT it may buy you time to make the preparations listed above

Oh Man reading this is scary. Someday, I wanna get married but every time I read posts here my heart fails. The sad part is that a lot of what you guys are on about are true.

The time to start preparing for your divorce is about 6 months before your wedding day. Seriously. And literally. Better to prepare for a war you'll never have to fight than have to fight a war you're not prepared for.

We got married so early in the relationship. We've only been together three years. I just tired she won't talk to me about it she just roles over and goes to sleep. thanks everyone for the advice
 

"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.
