"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.

This is the most ass-backwards thing I've seen in a LONG time. If they don't try to settle with you and tie you into something the issue has to be YOU dude.
It's not "backwards" at all genius. Im stating purely that some girls wanna have fun and if a dude makes the mistake of trying to get serious with that kinda girl with that kind of mindset, he'll get burned. simple. if a girl wants her freedom dont matter how much "game" you have, trying to tie her down to something more than fun will end in drama. Period.
 

"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.

He said girls (not some girls) who are "at the age of less than 26 and ... attractive is not yet ready to settle" and you agreed he was "spot on".

So is it all or some? Some I'd agree with, so make up your fucking mind and then get back to me.

First off, a girl at the age of less than 26 and she’s attractive, is not yet ready to settle.

bigjohnson,

how many do you know who are willing to settle at home and not go out? how many do you know who are willing to settle for one?
With the divorce rate of 67%, how many of the 33% do you think fall into this category?

how many do you know who haven't cheated on their husband at that young age? how many do you know who have actually seen the world and think that marriage is the right thing at that age?

what's the point of this thread? are you trying to set an absolute rule in stone that you should not LTR a girl under 26?

My point is simple... as Suntzu said, "know thy enemy". in dating and relationships, there are no rules...

Many of us guys have false beliefs that a girl at a young age are ready to settle. They're not. By your constantly telling her how much you love her or needing her, you suffocate her. In her mind, she's thinking, "OMG, he's really into me... does that mean that I can't go out and have fun anymore?"
 

"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.

where'd you get the idea that guys want LTR's more than women?

reason we're AFC is because we have this image of LTR. that's why it's so difficult to get them... We have this visual image of our "future queen".
If we don't care about LTR with women, we wouldn't have any problem and wouldn't be AFC.

All that this post is about is really to get guys who are investing in the relationship at such an early age to protect their own heart.
