"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 I laughed...

There's this man at my work place, who likes to paint himself out as an Alpha male saying how he doesn't get hooked on women, never gets "oneitis" for a girl, just bangs girls and throws them. He never validates them, never leaves comments on their Facebook pictures etc.

...Yet he brought a girl from our work place a bracelet. These bracelets range from $188 to $833. She went around showing it off, stating how she isn't in a relationship with him and they are just seeing each other.

If that's the sign of an Alpha male, I'm glad I am not one. I could understand if this girl was his long-term girlfriend, but she is just some chunky, horrible gold digging slvt who spreads her legs for free gifts etc. The next time this guy goes on about other men at work being "AFC's" or "Losers", I'm going to put him in his place.

I suppose this gift will get him sex, but if he wanted sex that badly he could have paid half of what he paid for a bracelet, at the local brothel. :crackup:
 

"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.

The guy actually used the words "oneitis" and "AFC"? I've never heard anyone in real life talk that way.

^ Ditto, only a AFC would use terms like AFC and ALPHA, that tells me he isn't ALPHA right there. He's probably a little BETA, LOL.

What if he won the lottery or something? Then it isn't so bad. Perhaps it's a lot cheaper then you think. also, what kind of a price range is from $188 to $833?

I actually hear the term "alpha male" used a fair bit. A lot of people probably get it from the Discovery Channel.

Lol, I was thinking what if he found it in the street or something and gave it to her? Or what if a former plate left it at his house, and he claimed she didn't?

No, he doesn't use those words, I never said he does, I am using those terms because I don't know what other terms to use. He brands men like that as losers etc. I'd sooner have oneits for a woman than spend a large proportion of my monthly wage on a bracelet for some woman who isn't my long term girlfriend.

As for the bracelet, she says he brought it for her and it's a Tiffany bracelet, so not your cheap end of the market bracelet. I don't know how much her bracelet cost, but it's between the price ranges I've stated.

The condition of the bracelet is immaculate, it's not something that has been left around to gather dust. I'll ask him if he brought it, if he did, he has no right acting like the Big I Am around work laughing at other colleagues with relationship issues etc.
 

"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.

He doesn't use the words AFC or oneitis, he does use the words Alpha and he uses the word Chump/loser to describe other men who he feels is inferior to him. My point is there seems to be a lot of these so called "men" who walk around acting like women are little more than sex objects, only to then act like a puppy dog behind closed doors.

He gives off the impression that women are little more than a pasttime to him, something which doesn't matter and he preaches the same sort of PUA material you get on here, only to then buy a girl an expensive bracelet. It's strange isn't it?

Are you guys allowed to date in your workplace? I am not allowed at my work.
