Like for at least 2.5 years? Just curious because someone mentioned something like this that sparked my curiosity. How do you guys keep her for a long time?
"I just moved here from Florida."
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.
How do you guys keep interest over long term?
- Thread starter ImTheDoubleGreatest!
- Start date
"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.
Very blue pill question.
You should be more worried about finding a woman that keeps YOUR interest that long.
Once you elevate the woman over you, in the sense that you must "keep her interested" you are basically saying she is better than you and brings more value than you.

Acting like a man, and not needing her to be happy. Not acting that way, but truly not needing her, that will make her do more sh@t to try to get you to need her, but she is chasing a carrot on a stick.
Indifference. Even if it means losing her.

It isn't about her. I could stop liking a girl like a switch if I really wanted to. But the thing is, I want to have kids later on in life. Divorce fvcks people up quite a bit and I would not want my kids turning into screw ups or go through too much sh!t at too young an age. Therefore, I would have to keep her for sake of my kids.
I would like to share some of this knowledge to my kids some day, and if I have daughters, I'll make them become the girls that are found only once in a lifetime if that.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

You guys with good intentions take this crap too far sometimes. This stuff is very quid pro quo.
Wanting to keep a woman's attention isn't elevating her above you anymore than a King wanting to keep his citizenry happy enough that they don't storm the castle to put his head on a pike.

Athol Kay over at Married Man Sex Life . Com has this sh!t down. Go check it out. There are free copies of his book floating around, but it's only $10, so buy one of your own.ImTheDoubleGreatest! said:
Keep mixing sh*t up in your life. Embrace change. For yourself. This will not only keep you interested in what the world has to offer, it will also keep women interested in you.
Few people like to be bored. Even fewer like to be bored with themselves. Don't bore yourself, and you won't bore your women.

That's a horrible analogy. :crackup:mrRuckus said:
A king actually needs to keep his citizens happy for the greater good of himself and his kingdom. A man doesn't have to "keep a woman around" for anything other that his own frail co-dependent ego. A man can replace a woman who doesn't want to "stick around" so your point is moot.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
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.

We're looking at it from a broad view Poon King. Not the specifics.
Thanks. I'll take a look at it.MOTU said:
