"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.

I am in my early 30s yet apparently look 45. Chances with younger women?

why is pregnancy your major concern and not like HIV?
Ummm, so maybe he doesn't end up being "stuck with a young kid"?

 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

Just over a million Americans have HIV. That's a pretty small percentage (0.36%).

It's unlikely any randomly selected escort has HIV. Then even if a condom were to break with an HIV-positive escort, there's still no guarantee I'd get HIV. I looked it up. The odds of getting HIV from a one-time unprotected exposure are, at most, 2%.

So we're talking 2% of 0.36%

Which would be .007, or double-oh-seven if you will.

I think the prevelance of HIV is higher in Sex workers.
Good point, I hadn't thought of that.

I found a study from the NIH where they estimate the HIV prevalence in female sex workers. The average estimate is 17% (various studies have produced various estimates, ranging from 0.3% to 32%).

Even if we use the high estimate of 32%, with a 2% HIV risk from a single uncovered exposure, the odds of getting HIV if a condom breaks with an HIV-positive escort are 0.64% (Still a lot lower than the odds of getting a younger escort pregnant from a broken condom)
