"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.

Awesome speech...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw4x7xuOOAM

Was in a bit of a writing mood after that...

Doesn't matter if you don't play a sport, hell your past time might just be training seriously with weights in your garage. If you do something that pushes you always recite the words "I AM A CHAMPION", cause every man should be one in their own rights and strive to improve all the damn time. Break ****in' mental barriers, seize moments and never get too comfortable with things....a true warrior always is on edge.

We all feel agony and pain but what differentiates the men from the boys is a certain mental fortitude and a warrior will proudly carry scars inflicted from daily battles. Let the ****in' blood spill, sweat pour and tears shed, conquer ones mental and physical wars before they leave you pathetically defeated.

To be destroyed and rebuilt even stronger than before! One should never strive for mediocrity, but for something else something more grand, something that when thought about gives you the jitters and a certain profound uneasiness, something that makes you feel challenged, alive and makes you rise to a higher level. LET'S ****IN' GET IT :box:
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Wow, these "old school-angry-full of cliches" pep talks are so boring.

Speaking of this, do you or anybody else apply this to every aspect of your life?

eg: you hate your job, but until you find another one you're gonna work so hard you're gonna be the best on your current position.
or
your have to clean up your house, but you won't settle for it looking good. You're gonna find every little things that you don't like and fix it.
or
that project at school that eats the life out of you: you won't just do it, you're gonna spend every little second to make it the best of its type.


Let me make a guess: you don't.
So let's drop this American style of speaking in superlatives.

No there's always sacrifice, when one wants to excel greatly in one thing be it education, getting impressively big or being the best in your sport. Who the **** said you have to be "perfect". C'mon Debbie Downer lighten the **** up.

American style of speaking ? Bud I'm guessing you're from some where else. My message is more of a wake up call, you have to be aggressive and sacrifice certain things. That is all. I don't get where the hell you're coming from. Get that stick out of your ass. You're walking funny.

So you're telling me that if you had unlimited time you'd do all those things I mentioned?
Give me a break and go fool someone else.

Umm what you're referring to is a disorder , obsessive compulsive disorder to be exact. The only thing I'm obsessed with is not letting my body turn to ****. I don't understand what you're trying to get across. Give you a break and fool some one else? haha You're taking my post out of context and way too seriously. If I had unlimited time, all I'd be doing would be weight training, cooking food, going to school, being my best @ work and fondling women. See that? I sacrificed having a perfectly clean house for the sake of other things...
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Nice!! I have to give credit where it's due tho, that recipe is courtesy of Dr. John Berardi. He has an amazing book with more great recipes. Pretty sure can be found online @ Amazon or something real cheap.

That reminds me I'm going to make some chili soon too. Definitely one of my most favorite things to make.

Glad you like it and it doesn't get any healthier/delicious !! :D

"One should never strive for mediocrity, but for something else something more grand, something that when thought about gives you the jitters and a certain profound uneasiness, something that makes you feel challenged, alive and makes you rise to a higher level. LET'S ****IN' GET IT"

Challenge guy I think you're reading it in completely the wrong way. Do you realize how many people wake up in the morning doing the same **** do they every day? They never evolve or change? They never CHALLENGE themselves to do something different. There are countless people young and old like this. Where if you see them a year from now you could accurately guess they would be in their same position. But everyday if you go out of your limits like say put on an extra few pounds on the dumbbell than you are used to or go for that girl who is hotter than the girls you usually go for. By doing this and not being average your old limits become your standard lines and you have new limits which you will continue to push as well. In other words push yourself out of your boundary little by little all the time and you'll end up miles from where you once were. Not the OCD bullsh!t you're describing where you want everything to be perfect.
