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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Scott, maybe if you could get it up properly, your girl wouldnt be getting railed by other dudes.ScottMustaine said:A girl ? Well, why don't you seduce me if you are that good player ?![]()
Lol sure, you're really showing me, your mature budscottMustaine said:Basically I want her to get butthurt and feel "OH ****, WHAT HAVE I DONE?"
Kid, I'm not even going to waste my time with you anymore.ScottMustaine said:Haha man, you're so much lowering yourself down. I'm freaking laughing my arse off.
So yeah, was that supposed to make me angry? Because it made me laugh.
Oh by the way, you failed with the second quote.
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.
I'm not sure you realize how "conditional" and challenging this unofficial shaky arrangement is though. Her emotions are as mixed as a pick and mix sweet bag. We can very well see eachother on this "arrangement", then her come out and say she's not interested in furthering it anymore and my efforts will have been in vain - For what it's worth, she has already stated that she has been "happy being out of a relationship" and getting on with her life. It's just that when she speaks to me, she suddenly breaks down - Which tells me that there is still a way to amend this.headFirst said:Your gf is weak.. she shouldn't of came back.. At least not this fast.. You will only treat her like sh!t again when the routine starts kicking back in.. She should of left you single for 3-4 months to make you appreciate what you had.. instead she isn't as strong as she thought she was.. Both of you are pathetic. That's why I get sick of coming on this site and seeing this kind of stuff..
Lol what do you take me for, didn't I tell you I was hired (headhunted) into an exclusive pua company for over a year? I mean, what planet are you living on? I wasn't a sucker with girls or persmission-boy, like you or other guys here before I even signed up. Without a doubt, I'll be turning up large amounts of heat at these meet-ups.ScottMustaine said:Friendzone incoming ! Head for cover !
Wow. You really are just a little 18-year-old hater. You had me convinced you were a good guy, but you're not only a dweeb nice guy, you're also a pathetic introvert with a hella of a lot of demons, lets call you scott bates.Flakiness, she's turning the table, now you're getting stringed along and she wants to see how pathetic you can be to get her back. She's playing with you now.
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.
Sometimes common sense doesn't accomplish the results.JohnChops said:the OP is going to do whatever he wants in the end regardless of the advice he finds/is given here. Who gives a fvck.
Really? Coming from the guy who was contemplating taking back or even, asking for advice about a girl who was trash and slept with his brother? I, OTOH, actually have other women circulating.Cabal said:You are oneitis AFC wrapped in players flag sunshine.
How about no.ScottMustaine said:Don't get me wrong dude, but what are you trying to do?
You said this in another thread, twice. Yet you're back AGAIN. Even when I ignored your previous post in this thread? How you cannot see that you're inferior to me is outrageous.Okay I'm stopping right here. No more talking to you Mister... Whatever.
No. I don't need to prove anything to YOU, a highschooler or anyone else on this board. Take whatever I say about my career options as boasting or not. I couldn't give an iota of a fck. I did not ask YOU, specifically for help. You took it upon yourself to trap the thread off course aswell as that other sorry excuse for a man, Cabal. I will take blame for entertaining it too, but it's qute cute hearing screwlooses telling you, you need psychological help to make themselves feel better and to have the freedom to act the way they should've acted when faced in danger.Prove us that you got loads of women circulating and that you are PUA Casanova dude, or that you need help from us ?
You mean seriously what? Whats serious?...You can't stick to your own words, so nothing you say is serious. It hasn't been since you started replying in here.I mean seriously. Why are you trying to put that much effort when,as a PUA, you know that if you found that kind of girl, you will find such one,even better next time
Didn't I tell you I'm righting my wrongs with this girl, yes we all find other people as time goes on. But unlike some, I'm not the type of guy to buckle down and say "Thats it....." I did with all of my last relationships, but I want to fight the good fight with this one and if in the end, we really can't be together, I'm reassured that I will find another girl, who will be hotter and more exciting. For now, I'll see what I can do with this one....I'm not counting points.Why don't try to know better those 'other' women that are circulating ?
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
