Okay, but how does my profile picture look so far at 42?? It's the real me, ya know, about 2 weeks ago.
"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.
How did you know he was the one?

"She's Out of Your League"
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.

Quuuuuuueeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnn BBeeeeeeeeeee!!!
You still haven't responded to me yet, and you're on here once an hour. WTF?
Meow always responds to me, and she's only on here like once a week.
I think I like her better than you now.

C'mon, @zekko, my man, @catsmeow2's response was pretty great, no?Don't forget "Be tall".
But look at Napoleon Bonaparte! Short guy, but do you think he didn't command respect from men and women alike? Then you're kidding yourself!
"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.

Yet who did these two quality women date before the man they ultimately married?

"How did you know he was the one?"
I think most cases are something like these: High quality girl takes a look at a guy. She gets vaginal tingles. She gets to know the guy ands screens for red flags. She enjoys his company. She doesn´t find any deal breakers so she proceeds with sex/LTR. Also, intentionally or not, the guy somehow goes to the top of @Desdinova ´s High Score List, hence she considers him "The One" or her soulmate.

High Score Theory
Ever notice how women can just write off a guy and treat him like he was only a tiny blip on her radar? Well that's because he was. The more sexually experienced a woman becomes, the more accustomed she is to just throwing guys away. Every new guy she dates seems to earn mediocre to low interest...

"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.

Oh, it's already happened. Many times, in fact.

OP,
I enjoy different perspectives as well, but your threads are complete cringe. Not to mention I would give it maybe a D+ as far as trolling goes - which it clearly is. Everyone here understands you just want attention or you would have sent a private DM to the two women.

I enjoy engaging in banter and debate and some serious discussion when I am drinking. So yes, maybe I do want attention. But what's so wrong with that. It's fun and it brings me joy.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
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.
Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our intellectsYet who did these two quality women date before the man they ultimately married?
