That's right. You shouldn't be.My Name is Nobody said:Yeah right I haven't even seen a pic yet why would I be interested in you?
But you can't help it. Because I HAVE mastered the DJ tricks. And they work on YOU.
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.

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.

guru1000 said:CONTROL is not healthy in regards to another entity. However, CONTROLLING the FRAME is key. Either you or her at any given point in the relationship CONTROLS the frame. The more often you CONTROL the frame, the more power you have in the relationship.
As the CARDINAL RULE, the one who holds the most power is the one who needs the other the least. Your ability to play by your rules of RESPECT keeps you in control of the frame.
But it is ultimately your CHARACTER as a MAN that will maintain control of this FRAME. You cannot repeatedly walk away. Inevitably it is your INTEGRITY and MASCULINITY that will shine that will LET the girl know she has to step up to the plate and bat 100%.
Your head is in the right place. Perception is key.
My Name is Nobody said:Exactly.. that's why I would chop off my balls before even attempting to chase you.

It's an NLP term. When two people interact, one person is reacting more to the other. The person who is being reacted to more controls the frame, as in frame of the interaction. They control the context.sosilky said:What exactly is meant by controlling the frame? not sure i understand that term.

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.
In more manipulative hands this is known as gaslighting.ready123 said:
I hate to bump this up but I just remembered.. Even SunnyD is on here OBSESSING over a guy that cheated on her.iqqi said:Well, most AFC's do need to go through the jerk phase. Have fun with that.
You are going to get what you ask for, then find out it's not what you want.
The Bad Boy Myth was written for you. Read it in a couple years, after you get "jerked" around by none other then yourself.![]()

....and you got guys disagreeing with you. When you wrote that you need to verbabally abuse a girl at the VERY FIRST SIGN of disrespect, to ME (I'm an individual) that is the first SIGN that a man is weak. Doing that is a sign of emotional weakness. Women are attracted to men who are in CONTROL of their emotions. Their job is to see if you'll crack, see if they can get you to lose CONTROL. When you DON'T lose control, you stay attractive.Total Control said:note that I started this thread simply to help all those who come here and complain about women giving them shyt, doing disrespectful things, getting drunk with another guy, ect ect ect.......
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.
