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.
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.
A grown man admits to his mistakes and actually wants to blame himself - otherwise it is out of his control. Men playing the victim and wanting other men to empathize is female behavior, and is turning SS into Cosmo.Sometimes, guys get low interest and inconsistent behavior because of said low interest and they chalk it up to BPD.
If you are high value, even BPD women will put on their "good face" for like two months and mask all of their flaws. No guy I know who have options would do such a thing. When you see the million BPD threads, it is .
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.
If men never had issues with women toxic and so on So Suave wouldn't exist. Nor would any advice forum. Some men join SS for no other reason than to tell anonymous strangers that every woman they've ever dated and continue to meet and date are and were perfect.Thats what bigneal told me and im looking for thoughts on this.
He said bpd is caused by low interest level and doesnt happen if the girl has high interest level.
100% agree with you. The problem is I was stubborn and thought I could fix her.Thanks for proving my point. The first 2-3 months are always great. But then the warning signs show up out of nowhere, and this is when it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY as a grown man to respect yourself enough to walk away (or keep her as a fvck buddy).
So how do you screen them on OLD?There is a lot of straw man in this. I think you are obviously trolling on purpose. I already said most women will try to put on a good face for the first two months to woo you. But eventually you see the warning signs. This is why you SCREEN women and give them a trial period. Is that too difficult to understand?
The guy who constantly ends up with crazy women obviously does not screen women. Guys who don't screen women are desperate and have no backbone. They couldn't possibly be that "knowledgeable" and "alpha."

Excuse me?Well at least you acknowledge responsibility unlike the OP who thinks he is always a victim (childish thinking).
RightMy bad, mistaken you for elvis presly. There are two threads on the same thing so I got mixed up.
Do you see the basis for you delusion, pelvispresley? You take things to some extreme - "How do movie stars and Billionaires feel?", you ask. "It's 100% his fault" you say, or "The women these men meet are perfect" (while vastly underrating other's women). This is your coping strategy. You were clearly hurt as a child and never healed. I suspect you are either bisexual, gay or female based on your repeated attempts to avoid logic and go with pure emotion, along with setting up instant SS updates on your smart phone.If men never had issues with women toxic and so on So Suave wouldn't exist. Nor would any advice forum. Some men join SS for no other reason than to tell anonymous strangers that every woman they've ever dated and continue to meet and date are and were perfect.
In other words any other man that runs across any toxic woman it's 100% his fault never the woman's because the women these perfect men meet and date couldn't possibly ever exhibit toxic traits to them because they are just perfect themselves.
You meet them in person and then put all women through the same screening process. No exceptions. Just like in the military, where all recruits (whether they signed up in person or ONLINE) have to go through bootcamp.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Are you trying to claim that movie stars, pro athletes, billionaires, etc. never run across crazy women? Never have stalkers? Never have issues with women?Do you see the basis for you delusion, pelvispresley? You take things to some extreme - "How do movie stars and Billionaires feel?", you ask.

You know these extremes are false, but it helps you cope with the fact you weren't good enough to keep your woman around. Go ahead and tell yourself that even if you were a Billionaire model actor she still would have left.
NO, I'M SAYING STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO THE ELITE.Are you trying to claim that movie stars, pro athletes, billionaires, etc. never run across crazy women?
Even if we don't compare ourselves, the highest level in physical, financial, social status status ALL get cheated on. However they do have an easier time landing women to have these qualities, but they can be cheated and dogged out like any of the others.NO, I'M SAYING STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO THE ELITE.
The Pelvis Thought Process (don't think this)
1) I got dumped.
2) Great men have gotten dumped.
3) I might be great after all.
Question: how much money do you make per year?
You're trying to correlate more money = less problems with women? What is your point? Depending how much money you make = less issues with women?NO, I'M SAYING STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO THE ELITE.

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
