"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.
Just Curious, How many of you have sisters?

"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.

It's probably a good thing I didn't have a sister because I may have ended up violating her...:nono:
BTW to avoid this poll being too similar to Hughman's you should have had the choices be Yes or No.

"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.

Joking aside. If I had a sister it may have been very helpful for me. It could have helped me to learn how girls are, the way they work and think. Cause right now I basically don't have a clue about girls. There's also the possibility that I could have hooked up with her friends, or a friend of her friends.
There is an interesting question. Do guys who have sisters, do better with girls?

"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.

Don't blame me, I'm only quoting a song lyric
I only have a 15yo sister so I obviously haven't learned anything from living with her, other than that I fully understand the saying "treat women like your little sister" and have done this with success.

One example doesn't prove anything. Honestly I think it's a fault of the poll.OTB said:I think that just answers your question right there Maxtro
I would have done a poll with the options being.
No sisters, good with women
No sisters, bad with women
Have sisters, good with women
Have sisters, bad with women
That poll would help answer the question if having sisters would help with women.
LOL have you not learned anything or haven't you? Because I hope you know you contradicted yourself.jahidi said:

"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.
I never directly learned anything from her about women because she is several years younger. I was figuring things out on my own before she had reached puberty.Maxtro said:
The only thing I learned was that I could have success by treating chicks I want to bang in somewhat of the same way that I would treat my sister, like I said.
So yes I did learn something but not nearly as much as I probably could have learned if I had an older sister, and I wouldn't think that what I learned was what the OP was thinking of people learning when he made the thread.

The only thing I learned was that a house full of women is hell if you're the only male there. Sure my dad was around, but he worked during the day leaving me to hear my sister and mom not being able to agree on anything other than that the house had some kind of undetectible smell. If any of you ever get married, never let your wife or little girl think they run anything because you will have absolutely no peace.Maxtro said:
