"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.

Its almost Halloween, last time to see cleavage in much of the northern hemisphere until spring and everyone's drunk. Its the best time to hook up before New Year's Eve and it helps to have an awesome costume.

Last year I was a stereotypical Italian like the ones I saw while in Italy that summer (you know, think Silvio Berlusconi and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZLh3tc_pk4). (Sorry Italians, nothing against you, its just that if you're a Caucasian its okay to stereotype you, feel flattered). It worked. I got into a fight and won it and I hooked up with the best looking available female there. I just really got into character and it worked. I'm usually not like that. I felt like Michael Cera's character in Youth in Revolt.

I need to find a new Halloween costume for this year but I don't want to be the same thing or just be some other Southern European or Latin culture filled with a machismo most Northern Europeans and Northern European-based cultures (like the US) would find... inappropriate?

Any Halloween characters that are funny that could get you some action? Dracula was a ladysman, but he is undead and Halloween costumes that are actually scary just creep women out. My Transylvanian accent sucks too.

Any ideas?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

I went dressed as 'swine flu' one year.

Pink sweat pants/shirt, pig nose/ears and wrote h1n1 across the shirt. Simple, cheap & def a hit with the other party goers.

Just look at pop culture & current events... endless well of ideas.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Something lighthearted and funny.

Last year I was the Swedish Chef (Muppets character) and I was approached by several women telling me they loved the costume.

1) Dress up in your best clothes. Get your hair cut and look and smell your best. Wear your best cologne.

2) Take a piece of styrofoam and cut it to shape it like a magnet. Spray paint it silver and the tips black.

3) Buy some Yellow Peeps and glue them all over your magnet.

4) Make a rope chain or something to wear it around your neck


You are a "Chick Magnet" for Halloween.


You can walk around or go to a party and take pictures with all the girls around you and post it on FB for that "social proof" everyone craves these days!

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

If you never wear a suit and tie, wearing that on Halloween is an off-the-wall costume. Tell them you're a businessman.

The professor (sport coat, bow tie, glasses and carrying a ruler) and schoolgirl gets a lot of "That is sick" comments.

I'm often told I look like Dave Mathews, Peter Gibbons from Office Space, and Tom Hanks. Would it be a bad idea to be one of them? I sort of see it, but I am told this a lot. What do you all think about that?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.
