"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.

I have not been on the forums for a long time but just wanted to say hi to everyone. Biblebelt, Karma Sutra, LMS, Guru 1000, Rollo, STR8UP, Mike Yikes, Skip,Iqqi,Roman God and anyone else I forgot to mention.

Life is pretty good for me, I am married now with a kid. Marriage is ok, it's not what people make it out to be however. I have a beautiful daughter and love her more than anything. I will be 35 and have been out of the game for the last 1.5 years. I miss the game and still wonder how I would do if I got back in the game.

I have not been on the site because frankly am not active in the game and don't think I have much to add anymore.

So how is everyone? I hope everyone is doing well.

If you have any questions on the married life I guess you could fire away. lol
 

"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.

Hi Lookyoung. Great to see you posting again! :up:


I've thought about how you're doing and how things went with the baby.


I'm doing good. I'm planning a trip to Europe again in May.


Don't feel that you have nothing to offer. Now that you're married you have tons to offer. Your experiences will be a valuable lesson for many here.

My question: Are you happy in your married life? I can see that you're a happy father.


Cheers!

Some would say being married is when your game needs to be the most active.

I've always thought of 'the game' as being the game of human psychology. The skills that you use on women as a single guy are still very useful even when you're married, at least in an abstract sense. We all have to deal with women in ways beyond relationships - like work, business, and family. It's all the same human psychology.
 

"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.

Have you found happiness ?
The married life has positives and negatives to it just like anything else. I am happy being single or married. I would say that marriage is not a fairly tale but it isn't horrible either.

I would say an Older man would benefit from being married to a good woman more than a younger man.

By older I mean 55 year plus.

Kids are awsome.

I disagree with this. My wife doesn't really sh1t test me or anything like that. She does nag at times however but all around is a good woman.

It's totally different for me now. Like at work if I see a hot HB I make no attempt to talk to her or anything like that. Also now that I am married my inner game for gaming is not strong anymore so it shows on my outer game.

I have not been clubbing much since being married and I used to be really up to date on fashion. I still dress nice but not like I used to.
