I'm so sick of sosuave's "quality woman" routine. They're all wh0res. Anyone who can't see that seems blind to me.cordoncordon said:Is not a quality woman.
Stop being blinded man.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.

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.
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.
MtnMan, the sheer fact that she was/is discussing sexual sh!t with other dudes is disrespectful. That behaviour isn't congruent with someone who wants an exclusive relationship. Disappointing of course but be thankful you are finding this stuff out early.MtnMan said:This whole situation has thrown me for a bit of a loop, not really sure how I am going to proceed at this point.
Tough to give good advice on this because only you know exactly the things that were said and what you are feeling in your gut. The fact that you admit to it throwing you for a loop is a sign that you need to pull back and get your head together.MtnMan said:I guess the next time I see her I'm going to have to reinforce my position on the whole situation and let the fallout happen. I'm bummed about this, but have accepted that I may have to let this girl go if things don't turn around.
There's conflicting responses because some people don't know what they're talking about. :yes:MtnMan said:some seriously conflicting responses in this thread. Not sure how to proceed, to be honest. Normally I try to take in advice, ruminate in it for a while and proceed while following my gut. At this point, not sure what my gut is saying.
Of course you wouldn't be cool with it.MtnMan said:I've already told her I wasn't cool with it, and she backpedaled pretty hard claiming it was just him offering, she wasn't considering doing it with him.
Don't believe everything a chick tells you. Promises are made to be broken, especially a woman's, when she is being shady in which you are doing nothing about except talking to her about it.MtnMan said:I am DEFINITELY NOT COOL with someone else engaging in a sexual act with a girl who promised sexual exclusivity to me.
You guess? Don't you mean you should? :crazy:MtnMan said:I guess the next time I see her I'm going to have to reinforce my position on the whole situation and let the fallout happen. I'm bummed about this, but have accepted that I may have to let this girl go if things don't turn around.
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.
just see where it goes maybe she notice what she said was stupid and want to fix it?MtnMan said:bah! i want you guys to be wrong, but I know you are right. I've been disrespected weather I want to admit it or not. I was supposed to go camping with her this weekend and I called last night to say I couldn't. I have a ton of stuff I need to get done before winter (true).
She invited herself over to my place bright and early Saturday morning to help me with my chores.

this is my current plan. Shes coming over tomorrow to help me with a bunch of my fall chores, and I think we may press some hard cider if we have time. Trying to keep my eyes open, and keep my feelings in check.Alvafe said:just see where it goes maybe she notice what she said was stupid and want to fix it?
thing is we are saying what is from our experience and from the info we did get from you, and again who really have all info if you, playing it cool for now and see where it goes can be more helpfull to you, we are saying to you just keep your eyes open and don't just keep thinking you can't do better.
relax for now
