"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.

If AFC's could fly, this forum would be an airport!

I just was thinking about all this alpha beta BS we all talk about on here.

Are we not all AFC to varying degrees? I consider myself to be kind of an in your face guy. I have no problem talking to anyone but, I have done some of the most AFC sh!t over the years it amazes me when I look back on it. Sure, some guys have more of a "presence" when interacting with others, have an I don't give a sh!t attitude, blah blah. Who cares? All I'm saying is what others have already said......be yourself, improve on yourself and the world will turn for the better. We are all different and need to embrace our unique individual qualities that define each and every one of us.

Some say your need a nice car, should dress nice, have a cool bachelor pad and the pvssy will come a runnin'. That's just stuff. Smoke and mirrors if you will. Would I want a woman who liked me because of my stuff? Nope.

What I'm really saying here is that we should all be confident from within. That's when you will attract a quality woman who is worthy.
 

"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.

Yes, but I think the idea here (at least in my perception) is to diminish the infuence of the AFC and build up the "authentic man", for lack of a better term.

Some of this stuff is training wheels that must eventually be discarded or calibrated according to one's personality. I think it gives a guy a leg up where he thought he was powerless.

"Alpha" is definitely overplayed and is a comical charicature, but it gets the ball rolling with many guys who come here completely oblivious as to how to become a man.

It think the tide is turning here on SS in that most are becoming aware that chasing after tail is an excercise in dissipation, and that what is really important is to become an accomplished man, one who has taken the hammer to himself and forged a masterpiece. Women then become nothing more than an adjunct of a man's life and not a focus. In other words, men are starting to count their worth from self-evaluation and not from a lay count.

There is no relation between paying for dinner and getting sex.
If you dont wont to pay for more expensive dinner, if you pay the dinner you have to decide where you take your date out and what the rules are.
Plan ahead where you want to invite her. Afterall, paying for dinner is just that, an invitation.
But if you are just thinking about the money,make shure that she is on the same page as you, and also interested in just having sex, otherwise you are going to be disappointed.
