"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.

Just turned 30 and it finally hit me that I can't party like I use to, thoughts?

What up guys? It is an obvious observation as you get older you just can't party like you could at 21. For me personally it just recently hit my mind thinking, damn...I really can't party like I use to haha.

I work long Sales hours during the week and need all the focus I can. Went out last night and had just a few beers, then had a plate over and we banged all night, didn't knock out until 1am. Now this morning I am a damn Zombie! Literally 10% motivation and exhausted. I use to be able to go to the club, hit an after party, and roll right to work but not anymore! haha.

Should I almost not go out during the week and reserve my nights out for the weekend?

What do you guys do? Please share your thoughts!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Wait til you turn 40 and 50. But the truth is like Yewki says, it really is a state of mind. I turn 50 next year and absent a few aches and pains which went there before, I've never been in better shape. I can still wear the same clothes I wore in my late 20s. I have a double breasted suit, which is a bit out of style, but was 'it' in the late 80s when I bought it. When I wear it today people ask if that style is coming back. When I tell them I bought it 28 years ago and can still wear it, they don't believe me.

Start taking care of yourself in your 20s and keep it up and you will still have women in their 20s chasing after you in your late 40s.

If i were you id just probably keep working and save up the money, buy some furnitures for the apt, get a ps4 or something. Workout, but stuck alot of beers on the fridge, and um maybe smoke a little joint while doing the netflix and chill after a long tiring day of work...
 

"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.

Granted, you can't smoke crack all night and wake up at 7am like you could at 20, but 30 is prime for a man. Tom Brady went 16-0 when he was 30. Start eating better.

Wait till you hit 50... Lol

Playing the field is exhausting... The days of trying to bed two women in one day are long over. I learned that pretty quick.
