"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

My girlfriend has a really bad temper. whenever she's mad about something i always do my best to calm her down but instead i only make it worse at times. whenever she's mad she'll start using curse words to me and mean things(that i don't want to describe) about my family. im an understanding boyfriend to her and has never done anything to hurt her in any way. she says she is lucky to have me and she says she doesn't want to lose me but when she's mad she says the exact opposite. i'm getting tired of her anger. i don't know how much longer my patience can hold on before it snaps. what should i do?
 

"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.

How long have you been together? Do you say things back to her? Does this happen at her place or yours? She probably does it because you tolerate it. Been there, done that with my ex-wife.

Once precedence has been set it is hard to undo it. If you're at her place simply say: I've shown you respect, why do you think it's okay for you to show disrespect towards me. Don't say this angry, tilt your head slightly and smirk at her as you say it. No reason to get angry. If you get angry or show emotion, she's in control.

If she apologizes, stay, if not, leave immediately and get on with your life. If she apologizes later, tell her you won't tolerate her bad behavior and are prepared to move on if she persists. You really have to mean it though.

If you're at her place, say the same thing and if she apologizes continue on. If not, politely ask her to leave. Do not try to force her to leave though as these spats could easily turn into a physical confrontation. Don't ever get physical, this could earn you a night in the slammer. Go to another room, go outside, where ever you will not be arguing with her. Listening to/engaging in this type of conversation will almost always result in you losing! :nono:

If it's bothering you now wait until you've been married to it for 15 years. You have to communicate that this behavior is not acceptable. If you continue to tolerate it this behavior it will continue. It's not your job to calm her down so stop trying. She needs to learn how to control her emotions and show that she can be respectful towards you even when she is upset.

My last girl had a temper. My mistake was to stay with her. It was difficult to keep my frame. I blocked her on whatsapp after she started critisising me during one hour and a half....this gut reaction was correct. later I unblocked her and I paid for it with a lot of crap. this was a mistake and not correct. I paid for it.

this video is quite good about keeping your frame when she gets *****y

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

She treats you like that because she knows you will put up with it. Grow some backbone and dump that b!tch.

ONCE a woman loses respect for you and can say those things to you without consequences, you'll probably never get the respect back... I'm afraid this is done. It will take much too much work to get it fixed for what you will get....

Is this really how you want to live the rest of your life?
Either she changes or you walk. You can waste years of your life rotting your youth away with a sour biatch.

Solution: Make her your ex-girlfriend.

Problem solved.
 

"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.
