Is sex more likely from chubbier chicks?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Several of my friends love goin' hoggin' on the regular. Personally, I just don't get it. These guys also go after women 10-15 years older or more. These are otherwise cool dudes, but to them, a female is a female. A starving man doesn't turn down a greasy slimy cheeseburger and wait for filet mignon, I guess. A man's gotta eat, right? It's frustrating watching this go down, since I know (or hope) they can do better.

For some reason, I really wish they would stop this behavior and step up their standards. Perhaps I'm worried about my own rep by association.

"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.
