"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.

I just got cheated on. I feel like sh*t. I want to kill something. F*ck.

How do the rest of you deal with this kind of anger? I've been with her for a month now. It was getting serious. She now decides to throw it all away.

F*ck.

Sorry for the useless thread. I don't know what to do. I want to curl up in a ball and die. I feel like a ****ing failure for not keeping her sexually interested. I thought I was doing so well.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Remember, YOU are the prize. If she can't see that, than screw it and next her.

Don't let this sort of thing bruise you. It can happen to just about anyone.
 

"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.

Thanks guys. I am feeling a little bit better. I went to the gym and ran three miles... that took off some anxiety.

She doesn't know that I know and she keeps calling me to hang out this weekend like nothing is wrong. I could tell though in the tone of her voice that something was different. She wants to go camping. I'm thinking about getting her wasted, f*cking the **** out of her one last time, and then telling her what I know RIGHT after, and then that I never want to see her ever again.

Stupid c*nt. I want to break her heart.

Time out!!! She doesn't know that you know? Fu*ck her then!! Don't let in on the fact that you know. Keep her around as some steady azz until you find someone better.

It's called "Game" for a reason. Play her azz!!

One month, a single month - four to five dates (if you're a smart guy), you shouldn't even be 'exclusive' with this girl after one month. Why are you getting so wound up after only one month? :nono:

NEXT!
 

"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.

Good point. I'm caught up. This girl was the best I've ever had. HB9. Young. Consistent sex. High IL. I got greedy and saw her too much. She still calls every day to hang out and I finally grew big enough balls to tell her no today.

I guess the AFC side of me is seeking validation right now from a forum. Go me. Feel free to deny it and tear me up.

I just needed to vent somewhere.
