"Blank Mind on Dates? She's Dropping Hints You Keep Missing"

The plates get cleared and the silence lands like a brick. You can feel her waiting. Your brain offers up your commute, your job, the weather — topics that have ended more second dates than bad breath.

Here's what most guys never learn: women hand out free conversational material all night long. Tiny clues about what they actually want to discuss. Catch them and you never run out of things to say — because she's telling you what to say next.

Rule 4 of the "22 Rules" trains your ear to catch every single one.

I think Rollo hits the nail on the head in his post.
 

"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.

From experience id say that most women wont mock their man in front of her friend, family or coworker.
This is only because if they do it reflect badly on themself. You know her chosing a no good subpar man, it means she cant do better.

I think they more often brag about their man even if most of the time behind close door its an other story.

However they will do it in other situations.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

When you are married, or in a serious long term relationship, EVERYTHING is about your chick. That is just the way it is. Whatever you, her plow-horse, does is viewed by how it impacts her.

Some women will go on social media and make all this BS public, but they all think it.

You get a promotion and more money = SHE can get a bigger house!
You get fired and are out of work = SHE has to suffer!
Your mother dies = SHE is such a good person for being supportive.

In contrast:

SHE gets a promotion and more money = YOU need to step up you game and keep up.
SHE gets fired and is out of work = YOU need to step up and get another job, and SHE is a victim of circumstance.
HER mother dies = YOU are not doing enough to comfort her and lack sensitivity by not letting her wallow in grief.

This is one of the reasons why I avoid serious relationships, I'm too old to put up with the BS anymore. Because when you get in one, you have to surrender yourself completely to to her happiness and take the blame for anything that goes sideways. If you don't... you will be shamed by her friends and family. My sister, who is an abusive alcoholic, blames everything on her husband and daughter. When in truth my brother-in-law should be worshiped for putting up with her BS.

When you get into a serious relationship you are not taking on a member of the crew: you are taking on a passenger. If you do not service her needs, because you are expecting her to pull her weight, you will get the same response if a airline steward tells a passenger to get up and get their own drink and bag of peanuts.

funny I knew a girl once who posted on her FB, then she received flowers from someone, of course it was not her BF and of course it created drama when he saw it, after she confess to me she did that just to make drama, a thing about this girl was since she worked with me she normally would talk like hell, but when she started to lie (with was often) I would give her a look of like stop sh!ting me, then she would feel a little shame and then confess after most of time, when she start to tell me she didn't know her BF would be this angry, I gave her the look and then she confessed about trying to stir him a little.


so knowing this, you undertand very well it always about her and her needs, and if you don't solve her needs she will find it elsewhere, only question is what is she needs, crave, and then give it to her in a way no one did and she find hard to replace, only thing is what a woman crave is diferent to each one, almost all need a set of thing, but the grade of each also differ
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Only if you allow her to act like that and do not maintain frame.

I see a lot of this among the liberal crowd here in western WA. Otherwise goodlooking guys who bow down to their average-at-best wives. It doesn't help that the wives usually out-mass their husbands so they can enforce their way too.

You're right. Although maintaining frame before, during, and after a date with a woman and maintaining frame in a LTR are two very different things. Maintaining frame in a LTR can become very difficult, sometimes impossible over the course of years where there are many changing variables, including monotony, within the relationship as well outside of the relationship.

Comes down to mutual respect in public. It is fine to joke about things like when my dad got his vasectomy, his female cousin sent him a "sorry for your loss" card.

I've noticed when a woman talks down about her husband or boyfriend, that relationship will not last. Opposed to couples who build each OTHER up. Usually it is those couples over 30 years together that make each other look good with their comments to friends families and strangers. If there is some self deprecation type humor, it is not frequent. If there is teasing it is done in private between the two of them.

I'll never forget when my mother made a comment that put me in a bad light, my lady brought to light something she really admired about me, and was genuine about it. It stunned my mother and she backtracked. She thought she was going to have a "girls club " moment and it backfired.

When I met my lady, I'd already had a V. She was talking with some girlfriends after a year or so and they told her to be careful about getting knocked up. She gave a sly smile and told them my situation and ...."but we love to keep on trying..."
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Generally I find the Asian girls don't do this. I think that also goes for the EE girls because I have had some experience there. Don't know anything about latinas unfortunately.

My girlfriend is genuinely horrified by the Aussie scrags at her work on 2 counts:

1. How much they slag off their hubbies to the other girlz about nothing much

2. How little f****** work they do and how good they are it's getting out of it

I don't know, seems like Rollo is being a little oversensitive on this one. Okay, the wife was making some jokes, but I don't think it was done out of any disrespect. It shows that she cares if she took all that time to put that together, seems like she's investing her time into him. I'm sure some will disagree but that is just my gut reaction. It looks like getting someone a joke card while they're recovering from surgery. That means they're thinking of you, not disrespecting you. There are a lot worse things to worry about.

That said, and I mean this very generally: I notice a lot of women do complain about their husbands. And they also complain about their friends. And their boss, and their co-workers, and their enemies. It's just the way they are.

My father once told me that a lot of times when someone says a joke they actually mean it.

yes and no even mantaining the frame will not keep her, frame is something to keep you constant and sane, its not a she will fall on you, the idea is she fall for your frame and keep her steady, but sometimes this will piss her off, because she is not getting her needs.

what mike said is true, its always about her, she is a great mom, she is nice, she is this and that, its never about anything else, and that is why you need to keep your frame and screen, you want to date the la creme of female you can get, not the bottom of the pot

A dude needs to stand firm and maintain frame for himself and his self respect. She will either fall into you or walk away. What many dudes fail to realize is that once she goes silent, they chase. It's over for them at that time. Chasing is not maintaining frame and will ultimately lead to failure.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
