"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.

Interesting essay by a depressed married man longing for his better days

"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.

It was his choice to get married, his choice to have children...

He can't blame his family for that.

Since he's married, by his choice, he needs to man-up and realize that there's people depending on him, for their welfare, growth..his job now...isn't Thailand..

It's raising his children properly. That should be his focus.

But he's not raising his children well. He's showing them a horrible example of a relationship. His kids will think that men are supposed to be whipped and they will grow up to have fvcked up relationships of their own. I think 'doing the right thing' is a form of child abuse. Ironically, staying in a hellhole marriage is supposed to be "for the kids?" If his kids are not just as miserable as him (and his wife), then they will be eventually.

I think divorce is better for kids than a bad marriage. The kids I knew whose parents stayed together for their sake are just as fvcked up as anyone else.

Well, he needs to raise his children well. He needs to be a role model for his children, he needs to guide them, teach them...hell, give his life for them if needed.

When you have children, it isn't about YOU anymore!!

F*ck the marriage. We all know how "fragile" marriages are now. That's no secret.

It's our children that really matter. It's the young ones that are grasping for guidance, but not finding any masculine role-models.

We need to recognize this. The lack of masculine leaders for our children.

There's comes a point where men need to step up to the plate and lead.

That point is our children.
 

"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.

He needs to control his wife and children or else they will control him!! He likes the pimp lifestyle but that lifestyle gets old - if you love hors, then do not get married! And if you don't like large woman then don't get married to one!!
