"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

In this fast paced world we live in its hard to concentrate on women when we have so many other things on our plates. Im in college and play footbal. Those two alone are very time consuming. Then add work during the summer and its almost impossible to have a serious relationship with someone.

Ive been playin the field for a while and had a few not so serious GFs. I really dont like chasing women around and playin their stupid games just to get some sex or a GF. I hate being alone, meaning I hate not having a girl around to hang out with/sleep with, and do things with. But Ive met so many girls and very few are actually worth putting time and effort. Im only 20 and have alot of growing up to do. I have things I want to accomplish for myself. I love to go out with my friends and mack on the HBs in the club/bar because its fun. But most of these girls are simply retarded. For instance this girl I met a few weeks ago, we ended up hanging out alot last week and even slept at each others house 3 nights in a row(no sex bc I never tried) Then all of a sudden she wont return my calls. Its baffling sometimes.

But Ive realized I cant control other people. All I can do is control myself. Ive never wanted to be a player and sleep with tons of girls. Even though I talk to more than one girl at a time. Im just fed up with having to chase girls. I want that one girl that wont make me chase her too far. The one that wants me for me. The one that understands that im not here to entertain her. I want the one that keeps me from ever wanting to chase anyone else. I know im not the only that feels like this.
 

"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.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm in college too and I feel the same way. I refuse to let my life revolve around some girl's mind games. Out of ten girls I meet, I find that I only want to get to know two or three of them better, and out of those, I'm lucky if one is gf material. What's worse, most of the time, that one in particular isn't attracted to me, or whatever relationship we start falls apart after a week or two for no obvious reason.

Bottom line: dating is like craps. Roll enough times and you'll get a hard 6.

I'm 26 and it's the same story. I'm no player either, it's hard for me to respect most women with the games they play. I work 45-50 hrs. a week, maintain a diet, work out and study- whatever time I have left over I don't really feel like wasting it girls for the reasons you mentioned. Getting laid is nice but I really don't want to risk STDs on random hors...if I meet a girl I like then I'll sleep with her...chances of meeting women like that come along maybe once or twice a year. My standards might be really high, but I think societies' standards are very low.

There's a girl in Norcal I want to meet right now, she's cute, around my age and has qualities I'm interested in. Seemingly honest with herself and others, friendly and has a good heart. I think the naughty/nice factor is there- that's probably what caught my interest. I hate girls that are prudes- been there, done that. I'd never consider being with someone who doesn't want me sexually, who doesn't convey that by talking dirty and show how bad she wants me...without me telling her to do it. I think she likes my personality which is also important. I see where you're coming from, you're not alone. Good women are hard to find for guys like us because we set the bar for ourselves which is above and beyond what most women could measure up to. I guess we should just keep on doing our thing and maybe one day we'll get lucky.

Welcome to number one realization about people and the nature of control. Also, congratulations for making the first step in defining yourself by your own terms and not just by what people typically do around you. :up:
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

The girl that slept at my house definitely doesnt think im gay. We made out alot and I fingered her alot too. She said she doesnt have sex though(which is BS bc i couldve got het) And while she was in my bed this other girl called me to do something that afternoon. Maybe that had somthin to do with it.

The other girl calling had nothing to do with it. She wanted you to **** her. Now she will find someone else.

What? You've accepted that you're a meathead tool? Good for you
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
