Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

ME, just so I could cheat on her. I'd "accidently" press the call button on her number just before I was banging the next girl.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Exactly.

With that being said, the butthurt runs strong in this thread.

OP is talking about taking back the cheater on the basis of a LTR.

personally i would not have anything to do with a cheater - ltr or fb.

perhaps with some the desperation runs strong?

My wife was developing emotional affairs while our marriage was going to the shyter due to lack of time together cuz of stresses of life, lack of funds to go out, and a lack of family support and my wifes belief that opposite sex friends were okN that she could keep it platonic but eventually she ended up talking feelings and these other men validated her while I was at work and she was preggo and home being a housemom (she now works full time as a dental assistant). So I too had an emotional affair out of spite and she hated it. Big mistake on both our parts as it drove us even farther apart. Very trying times... The problem with emotional affairs is that once you get one of your top needs met outside of your marriage others are soon to follow. Very slippery slope. Thankfully neither one of us went physical in the affair department and we turned our marriage around.

"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.

no need to insult each other.
we are different people here with different values. i for one don't care about fidelity from a girl if the only thing i do is stick my wiener inside her. desperation? maybe, but given the fact that i have 5 active plates (FB) atm AND a LTR girl, can't see why it should be desperation. i just don't care enough, and aside the fact that my ego was hurt when i found out, no harm was done. i do it too :) it's human nature. i just don't want it in a LTR, because i see it as a lack of respect.
