"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

So i posted on this other site where chicks frequent. its a whole different world than SS. I posted on the site if they would date someone like me because right now Im having trouble with my 3 yr ltr so I wanted another opinion. Overall im confident, c0cky, well educated undergrad and grad, like nice things and I treat a lady well. Im spoiled though and think money makes the world go round and Im aspiring to playing poker full time I am semi pro now I guess. I dont work a regular 9 to 5 and I have my own business making decent money. Anyways I posted it yesterday morning and within 24 hours I have over 100 replies. Every girl flamed me. I described myself basically how i talked about it above. They were jumping down my throat so i got defensive and let some of them have it because they had pics of themselves on the forum. Anyways they were like you gotta sit at a desk all day and provide while your lady mooches off of your money and be the one to take care of her. Which is what I do already and I said that so I dont konw where that came from. They mostly concentrated on me being shallow because I like nice things. Sh1t was funny how all the girls ganged up on dude who was seen as a happy go lucky and has a good life and doesnt need to sit at a desk currently all day.
 

"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.

This thread and that one is completely lame. Nobody is right here.
 

"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.

Heh.

Man, you went to a women's site. Then you basically told them you're afraid your gf will dump you. (your question implies this) Then you asked them to give you validation. From women! It's like going to a drug addict gathering and asking if anyone has extra drugs to spare.

You were just asking for it. It's not about what you said. Its about the question itself and the people you chose to ask.

If you want validation from us - sure, I can give some for free - there are hundreds of girls who'd date you. But you need to improve your game first.

I don't understand the point of this entire thread.

Why exactly did you choose to begin a thread with this information: what were you looking for? Advice, validation, to get it off your chest?

I want to offer something of substance to this thread, but I have no idea what to offer: help me out brother :).

Actually I have to disagree.. TaraMaiden on the loveshack thread drills this in chick terms. Allow me to translate her feminese to male terms.

All you did was qualify in your post -- I have a mercedes, I take my gf on amazing trips to vegas and pay for everything, I make 4k a month, I'm goodlooking and in shape, blah blah blah. That's all qualifying -- deliberately DHVing yourself so others will validate you. If all those things are true.. than good in real life you've probably got your sh*t together, but that's not something you talk about and the fact that you talk about it extremely lowers your value. Beyond that though, and beyond shallow women, the thing that's attractive is how you act and behave (which ultimately reflects upon how a woman feels about you). By the way, your behavior on forums says something about your reality whether you like it or not.

When you come home do you and your gf have a routine? -- The same old boring stuff? Are you looking to her for what she can do for you? Or do you come home and goof around with her (make her laugh), flirt with her, tell her she looks hot, etc.. -- all these things add value to your relationship. These are things women look for -- not if you have a nice car in the driveway or if you can afford to buy her things (other guys can give her these things too and just because she stays with you doesn't mean she's happy -- she's just comfortable). Learn to give value to everyone (learn to give people positive feelings) -- that's the key, that's what makes women flock to you!

actually it sounds like you totally agree, you just refused to judge it negatively. Which I commend you for..sometimes i just don't have the patience to explain why something is lame. I just call it like I see it. Thanks for the details.

First,as I log in and have to type my on screen name I realize that I may have to change it since I don't feel that brokenupinside anymore thanks to some inner "fixing" and in a percentage thanks to this board.

So MattS posted on some chick forum and got flamed?
I think MattS is living life the way he wants to,plays poker and he is good at it,makes good dough,does not sit at a desk for 10 hrs a day listening to some nagging boss,knows some people out of the beaten path (I mean, I have no reason to doubt)etc,why is everybody putting him down when he is doing the very thing that this forum advocates?

The chicks are talking about money not being important and how shallow he is and at the same time flapping their gums about investing your money,how their bfs already have/make more money that Matt etc etc.

Matss mistake was to post in that forum a question that left him open to criticism,but guess what?...I think that took balls and that he doesnt really care much and he did it for shytsandgiggles.
Mistake #2 is caring about that gf....like that ThinLizzy song says: man if that chick don't wanna know...forget'er.(Advice I should listen to)

Keeping with the makebelieve,James Bond is not a good catch for women,he will never settle down,he may die any minute,he's a womanizer,he plays way too much poker and drinks too much poison drinks and has to jumpstart his heart and so on.
MAtt I say do what you will man,looks good on you,a man SURE about himself is a survivor and does not care about INVESTMENTS cause he can sit at a table with $1000 and leave with 20 grand or more that night,he can make a stone bleed,he is a survivor.
The chicks flamed him cause he is independent and self sufficient,the only chink in the armor I see is the gf,50% of the girls on that thread would probably jump on his mercedes without him asking.
My 2c with respect.

I can't read the other thread right now, but I think there is another question to be asked: why are you posting your feelings here and your problem on the other board? It's backwards. You have a problem and haven't even said what it was. That's the way women do it. They vent and blow up without saying what is going, but somehow want everything to go right.

If this is any indication of how you are, I see why you're relationship is in the crapper: you man up at the worng times. Yeah you've got a good education and money, but do you provide security for your lady? I don't mean being able to bring home stacks of money, but do you complain all the time how things aren't going your way instead of doing it for a moment and working it out for yourself? Is she holding you up more emotionally than you're holding her up?

All I have to say is first, forget what those hens said. Many women will just peck at you and try to put you down all day telling you the right thing, but at the end of the day will jump on the pole of any guy who has everything you do. Second is that you should post the problem in a place that will actually give you an answer. We're guys: we fix problems instead of just complaining about it. Except El Stud, but I haven't seen him here in awhile.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I did read a page or two from the forum the original poster was talking about. This is what interested me:
So many of the girls complained about him because he called himself ****y, and how they didn't like ****y men. I know they preach a lot of ****y/FUNNY around here (you have to have the humour), but it still intrigues me.

Either:
a) The girls do not know what they are talking about and actually would be attracted to a ****y male, or
b) They really do not like ****y men, any more than anyone else does.

I'm leaning toward B, but I'm flexible. Being ****y probably helps you land women in high school, but I am an adult (and have been for some time). And honestly, I don't see a lot of guys who walk around acting ****y, and I certainly don't see women who hang on them for it.

Anyway, even if girls are attracted to ****y, you don't want to go around SAYING that you're ****y, that's just lame.

"I personally know the former deputy prime minister of a country if you want I can call him now."

^This is hilarious. Are you actually qualifying your self-worth with by saying you know a former deputy prime minister. That's like knowing Al Gore. No one gives a sh1t.

torr ive gotten girls to buy me drinks at bars xuserx I dont wear ed hardy like yourself. LOL you think ed hardy is baller ****? hahahha I wear burberry, and lacoste, rock a 3k watch, 1.4k necklace, 2k diamond earrings and drive a 40 k car, so Im frontin? Frontin is wearing cubics and driving a 1998 benz. M'fer Ive had 6k flow through my hands in ONE day like nothing. When I go to LA you think I rent a dodge stratus? More like a brand new range or beamer. I know an AVERAGE of 5 k take home AFTER TAX aint nothing. Its a start considering Im not sitting at a desk. I bet in about 2 years ill be pulling in 6 figures. What do you do xuserx? You one of those dudes who says just cause a dude has nice stuff hes a douche? Wait you could have it and afford it but aren't just like that? You own a house? No you dont own a house, the bank owns it. They can take it away from you at anytime. So youre like 250k in debt so you probalby cant afford stuff like me.
Also, REALLY?

All you're proving with that post is that you're kind of retarded (no offense to retards).

Sorry to rip on you for a third time, but:

I dont wear baggy clothes or talk ebonics sell drugs or hustle like they do. I might have the mentality since ive been listening to rap my whole life but I dont think wanna be thugs go to college and date girls who are college educated and dress the way I dress. You are pretty sheltered little girl. All of my friends are white and educated. Yea Im a thug with one black friend.

The bold is aludicrous and unintentionally hilarious statement.

The Italicized part is so horribly racist and backwards and misguided it blows my mind. And you won't understand why its racist, either.
