"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.

I just heard about that about Kanye voicing his concern, that his wifes family might push for one of his babies to be in playboy or be a stripper. Which some dads would be concerned about, especially when dealing with a family who doesn't see a problem with it.


So anyway they keep mentioning Kanye as "bi-polar". If one of us had to deal with a controlling, behive minded, manipulative and exploitative group we would also suffer emotional distress. Hi's and lows. Them wanting to have him committed for "bi-polar" seems to be one of control.

Many of us men would have differing viewpoints than that family group. If we stuffed it down and shut our mouth, eventually we would get tired of that. If we didn't leave, we'd become eternally frustrated, shut down, distressed.
 

"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.

Kanye is unfortunately not in control of his mental illness.

Still, no one pointed a gun at his head and told him to marry her. Gents, you have a CHOICE in who you marry and have children with. Think about the kind of role model she will be for your daughter. Don’t be like Kanye.
If you know anything about bipolar, being manipulated or stressed makes it 10x worse. If he wouldn't have to deal with so much bullshyt he would be much better off.

And still that family, she married Kris Humphries in a design to get more attention and a greater comeup later. That family would manipulate and force the man, and most men would end up with mental problems, if they didn't go into the situation with them.
