You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
So it is not the case that the guy did not care. You wake him up, he said his condolences. What else do you expect him to do late in the night?Lishy said:My good friend died on Sunday, she fell in the bath and drowned and I am so very very upset.
On Sunday after I found out I rang my boyfriend and I was crying my eyes out and he said how sorry he was and listened to me .......
He called several times and you apparently did not pick up and now you're complaining to your friends at sosuave to rebuke your boyfriend's behavior.He rang couple of times yesterday but didnt come to see me
I started to read to some of the responses and I was shocked at some of the responses in here.Lishy said:My good friend died on Sunday, she fell in the bath and drowned and I am so very very upset.
On Sunday after I found out I rang my boyfriend and I was crying my eyes out and he said how sorry he was and listened to me for a bit, then he cut in and told me he was half asleep when I rang and that he was going to go back to sleep and would call me later. He didnt!
He rang couple of times yesterday but didnt come to see me and this morning he rang me and said he would come aorund tonight, I said fine and then he said ........ wait for it ........ "But you wont be on the phone all night crying about your friend will you?" ... I then told him if he was upset I would be supporting him and he said " Ok Bye" and put the phone down!
How could he say that? If he loved me wouldnt he want to be there for me?
I cannot forgive him for this! I am so hurt I cant put it into words!

What about having some self-respect?Lishy said:I never excpected a thing from my bf, I have all of the emotional support I need from friends and family.

A REAL Man is there for his woman. A REAL Man provides the strenght and becomes the shoulder for his woman in a moment of dispair.
This situation is not about him. This situation is about her.

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
Mostly agree with you, but not everyone on the forum gave Lishy the sosuave treatment. Only a few posters did, and the only reason it turned out to be such a big deal is because some of them made one ridiculous post after another. Good to bear that in mindiqqi said:This is why I call for MODERATION of such negativity towards women on this forum.
Sheesh. This thread is a wake up call on what sosuave is teaching boys in terms of dealing with women. Look how they dealt with Lishy. Sad. I bet its like this in real life with them! They will never get anywhere this way.
No not everyone did, you are correct there. Some people gave great advice.mikeyb said:Mostly agree with you, but not everyone on the forum gave Lishy the sosuave treatment.

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 understand the way you think...Mistic said:Why is death such a big deal? Wake up call guys, you are dying right now, day by day. I had to watch my mom die from MS slowly over 15 years. It was as ugly and drawn out of a death as possible. Last week a friend died in a car crash. I'll miss him, but big deal. It's just DEATH.

Sounds like a plan but she already said she would not let me.. She thinks i am too mean..:nervous: :nervous:MacAvoy said:Maybe you should start poking her back (with your man rod)
ArtVandelay said:He's cold because he doesn't care about someone he never knew or knew well? Men aren't emotional creatures. If you want support, talk to one of your girlfriends.
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.
lol. isn't it amazing how much response she got?DAM it Who-MAN, this isn't the right forum
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
