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.
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.
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 does it make you a pimp? Just wondering.Because my ego doesn't feel right when she pays. I want to be a pimp and take care of it. Even when it just goes to my credit card. She insists on paying sometimes. But I have been with her for 2 years now. Still hoping she is different from the rest.
Pimps take care of their woman. I like taking care of her, pampering her. Minus the b!tchslapping. She likes it too. As long as i am the only one in her life Its all good. Thats the rub. How do you know for sure ? I hate it.._i am far from perfect and done alot to push her away. She always comes back, swears there has never been anyone else. Says she watns me to trust her. Just got to have faith. Don't like how she is protective of her cell phone.How does it make you a pimp? Just wondering.
Trust your gut feeling!Don't like how she is protective of her cell phone.
My gut tells me if I could get into that cellphone i would think different.
Here's where it gets messy. I think man's instinct is to take care of a woman but only because she bears his children. By protecting her, he is able to protect his offspring and ensure their survival. Yet in modern day society, the women for whom men spend money are not bearing his children and are not likely to in the future. And still, men, by instinct, continue to pay.Pimps take care of their woman.

I'm talking about dating, mostly. Just apply the numbers you listed and see its effect on your long term accumulation of wealth. Suppose you take a woman out once per week: restaurant $60, some other event $100. This is $640 per month, of which you pay an extra share of 20%, which is $128. Suppose she sweet talks you into another $30 for gas for the month and that nice $40 shirt she wanted. You also let her slip in some $15 makeup and $2 coke at the department store trip you squeezed in on the weekend while she was with you. Now you're at $215 for the month. She's also managed to save $20 in gas from and $100 of depreciation on her car from riding with you all day. It hasn't cost you anything really, but saved her a lot.Wait, are we discussing paying for the occasional date or TAKING CARE of a woman?
- I'm not taking care of no chick, a chick needs to be able to stand on her OWN two feet.
- For the majority of the dates (70%) I'm paying the entire bill. For the other 30%, she can pay, which shouldn't usually be large bills or very expensive places.
So stay at home and play with yourself.I'm talking about dating, mostly. Just apply the numbers you listed and see its effect on your long term accumulation of wealth.

Let's say you do this for 15 years and marry someone in your late 30s. A total cost of $38,700 to date. But, had you invested that $215 every month at a moderately low return of 5% annual return, you'd have $57,500!
Now apply this to the masses. Let's say 30% of men follow this pattern and just say that's 30 million men in the U.S. That's $1.725 trillion transferred from men to women over a 15 year period, and no families were created from it! Well, I guess some men may have had a whoops moment and created some children they're paying for now and have a less than ideal relationship with.
The only way I could say this works out is if you manage to marry a woman who has accumulated wealth equal to what you gave up in your pursuit of finding a vagina to dip your stick into.
Lol I can stop you right there. I don't do that. I have a budget that I follow in relation to what I spend in relation to dates and women, that's no more than $150 - $175 a month and MOST months I DO NOT hit this budget number.I'm talking about dating, mostly.

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.
I wish I could LIKE a post twice lollol Pimps take care of women who are bringing them money tho
It's probably cheaper to buy sex, depending on the price lolSo stay at home and play with yourself.
I'm not talking about not spending money to have fun dating. I'm talking about not allowing women to rely on your instinct as a male to provide for her when she doesn't need anybody to provide for her. There's a huge sense of self-entitlement among women, and it starts with the notion that men should paySo stay at home and play with yourself.
