And how many times? In relationships where you were not cheated on, or you think it was unlikely.
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
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.
Could you also vote so all the counts can be in one place.TheMonkeyKing said:Have quite a few times when I was younger. Usually drunk. Usually when frustrated/bored in a relationship. Don't bother anymore. If a relationship is tailing off or I meet someone else, I just end it immeidately. Last time I cheated, I ended it within the week. Can't be doing with the hassle to be honest. Don't know how women do it.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
I have already.VikingKing said:Could you also vote so all the counts can be in one place.
Cheated on one GF one time in early 06. Felt so bad that I dumped the GF because I could no longer look her in the eye and live with the guilt and myself. I don't know how these women who are chronic cheaters can stomach it like its nothing.PipeDope said:Never have. Is it a rush? How have you felt afterwards
Easy. Female rationalizations. That's how.logicallefty said:Cheated on one GF one time in early 06.

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.
This is the most important part. The moment women start believing you are loyal to them, that's the moment when they will start disrespecting you.Who Dares Win said:Im a man and I should be taken accountable on a different standard.
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.

Why? because of libido and because of the need to conquer, plus Im a man and I should be taken accountable on a different standard.
When it comes of cheating we're not equal.
What makes me feel guilty instead is the fact that I didnt treat certain girls as good as I should, I feel much more guilty about my bad behaviour toward many good girls than the fact of cheating, in some way that was more a masturbation with a girl body.
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.
