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.
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.
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.

Bullsh1t, you're not eating enough. But you may be a hardgainer.Originally posted by Zombie
eating doesn't gain me weight.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
I was just watching the discovery channel it was talking about different body structures scince your 6'10 your part of a curtain group (i forgot it's name) it's the human body which is they most superior in form....you will never be overweight due to your body structure..you share the same gene as all those basketball players ....face it man your a super-human!!!Originally posted by backbreaker
i have a first cousin who is 6'11 and is no more than 195lbs.. Played college basketball. Had trainers his entire career get him on deits, trying to gain weight.. he just couldn't
He is I believe at 215 now, which is still extremely skinny for his size, but he can't gain weight for the life of him

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
I know a guy who's 6'8" and weighs 165 lbs, so quit accusing people of trolling without any evidence.Originally posted by Deus ex Pianoforte
6'10", and 170 pounds? If you're going to troll, at least make your $hit believable. I mean, you didn't even really think that through at all, did you? I mean, if posting random bull$hit to get a reaction out of people on a forum gets your rocks off more power to you...but I'm sure you could find better ways to use your time. Life is short.
Actually, a basketball guy who played against my brother was 6'10 and he looked overweight (I don't know his weight, but he had a gut and a really chubby face). Really good player, though.Originally posted by Deus ex Pianoforte

Dude, do you know how much that counts for with women?? That means you can get the tall chicks with the long legs that is looking for a man she can look UP to for a change.Originally posted by Zombie
I feel like chicks are always looking at my height rather than my good looks. I'm too tall.
I'd rather be 5'8" than 6'10".
everywhere I go people stare.
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.
