Women who carry mace.

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.
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.

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.
I can understand many of the things you said up there, but what's so bad about vegetarians?Originally posted by So Many Ways
Major turnoffs/deal breakers:
1. Tattoos/body piercings, especially the broads that get someones name tattooed on their body and titty tattoos, disgusting. This is my number 1 turnoff.
2. Fat, for obvious reasons. If I see a fat chick naked, it's just...ugh
3. Single mothers, i ain't tryin to play daddy to kids that ain't mine, i don't want kids of my own for that matter
4. Overly religious/Christian fundamentalist. I have very strong views on organized religion which I'd rather not get into here.
5. Chicks who make themselves look ugly on purpose. It's hard to explain, but you know the type of broads that wear those thick black plastic glasses or dye their hair some weird color or cut it real short or do some other things to their appearance that just ruins any attractive or feminine appeal they once had. I never really did understand that. I hope I make sense here. It's somewhat related to turnofffnumber 1.
6. Chicks with excessive funk such as bad breath, body odor, just poor hygiene in general.
7. Bad Attitude/No sense of humor. I think that's fairly obvious.
Here are other turnoffs that aren't as severe as the 7 mentioned above
Big bolted on tits. There's a silicon epidemic going on in southern california.
Chicks who don't drink, ever.
Vegetarians
Chicks with tons of guy friends
Airheads/space cadets
Clingy/Needy chicks
****teases
Women who have issues with my choice of friends
Well, it's matter of being into the same things. I once dated a woman who didn't drink, ever and was a vegetarian at the same time. After that experience, I told myself never again. She was cool and all, but it was quickly becoming an issue.Originally posted by Abbott

You're the only person I know of who's said that, so I just had to ask.

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.

Understand that I'm in Minnesota and:
- Overly soft, shapely and feminine here look like the Michelin Man and are known in other states as "Snow Cows."
- Dating overly emotional and sentimental women takes a lot of work bolstering her self esteem.
- Overly submissive women tend to get boring possibly causing guys to stray. That submissivness is known as "Minnesota Nice" around here but it's just a lame front for passive agression.
- Over complimentary women don't seem sincere, plus in the back of your mind you wonder if she just wants something.

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
