"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.

There are some advantages when you are abroad or live abroad. The Roosh forum was very popular for the travel section. Also swooptheworld forum is big on it. Their forum is only reachable through registration. I tried it today but it did not work.

Anyway this thread might go into that direction.
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

One of the main advantages to being abroad is you don't carry your normal baggage with you.
Yes to some extent you can start fresh and new because you have the chance to forget some memories and create new ones. They say our memories make who we are.

Though the other saying is you take with you who you are wherever you go.

Exactly.

Which is why there is a recognized "honeymoon effect" among people who work in other countries.

Eventually your old self will pop back up.

But there are advantages.

When Hemingway and all those writer dudes were living in Europe was mainly because the dollar went a long ways over there.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

My family would cry cry cry if I moved abroad. That is the Only thing holding me back. If you had 1 million net worth and moved to say, Russia. Very hard to do btw cause you have to be "invited" - I could I have a 10-year long relationship with a married gal there. Her husband probably knows and reads whatever I send her. Would a million USD make you rich over there outside of Moscow or St Petersburg? I've studied the language for 8 years, but immersion would be "no looking back" if I moved there. I would certainly be thrust into the reality of a foreigner's world should I step out. I'd understand the frustration of a foreigner here. I love their language and mindset though. I'm circumcised.

Once I have no family left here beyond half-brothers and cousins, I may move there if pushed over the edge to. I know it's Harsh place and that America is lush and lavish, but...idk people live poorly there yet are fairly happy on average due to the communal relative disposition. Sure, there's a lot of back-stabbin mutherfvckers, but idk, America is Expensive AF. I'm tired of the taxes, the permits to build on your Own fvcking property!! the Control. I'm tired of it TBH. The $80 trash pickup, the $90 electric bill, or water/sewer. The costs keep going up but wages stay the same (not for me necessarily, but for most Americans). Without this furlough on mortgages, we'd be seeing a Massive amount of foreclosures right now.

Interesting I didn't know that these guys were doing that (geo arbitrage)

Funny thing when I lived in Germany I could'nt literally imagine having sex with an Asian girl. They reminded me for a strange reason to Chung Lee (The bad guy from Bloodsport).

Now I am in my year six in Philippines and my mind changed. I have some nice new memories of Asian girls in my mind.

I'm suppose to go back in The Philippines with my family this December but our flight was delayed because Guam, our travel route, is still in quarantine.

How's the Philippines doing in covid compare to America? I hope it's not stricter.

Speaking of Asian girls, if you were to get married, would you get married and raise a family here in the states or Philippines? Just wondering. Cheers.

As someone has has worked abroad for most of my adult life, my experience is that the novelty wears off extremely fast, the 1st time I went off to another country, that feeling lasted a good 6 months, then as time went on and I've moved on to various countries, maybe it lasted 6 days.
 

"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.

In my case the Philippines Covid thing was a bit annoying. They were relatively strict the problem was the uncertainty. Things got handled different depending on province and the officer.

Btw. I never realised how annoying the humidity is there. Took me long time to get really aware of it.

I can't answer where I would raise my family as I don't want to build a family but both countries are not really good I guess.
