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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
She probably has already been pressured for sex from past boyfriends. That's how the teen years are for girls that date or have boyfriends. That's how girls learn this sort of "conditioning". The teen years are rough for both boys and girls.Originally posted by ( . )( . )
yeah and already socially conditioned to pretend that she has services that men want and that she will get nothing out of it, so If and when shes ready to be nailed it will be HER doing the favours.
IE: Use me for sex.
this sh!t is sad but still interesting to see a young girl pick up the conditioning of society so early and so naturally. Kind of becomes clear to see why so many men are inept.
When it comes to attraction and sex this girl like all girls has already established that she is the prize thats to be sort after, the sad part is all those men who believe that.
I feel very very grateful.

I once stumbled upon "The D*ck List" which is essentially women posting about ex's who they consider to be d*cks, telling why they hate them. Some of you might be on the list...better check it. I just dug up the link again for ya...

yeah, that's the one.
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.
they never added any of my exes to the list.Originally posted by Wyldfire
yeah, that's the one.
If women are browsing the net looking for online lists to see if the guy they are dating is on a list of 'a$$holes', there is something mentally wrong
lol...I never tried to put my ex husband on there. I can't even remember how I found the list in the first place. I just thought it was kinda comical.Originally posted by penkitten

and they were major ones, especially the one that gave me h!!
I don't think people find such lists by looking for them. The search words they attach to their meta tags could be damn near anything. I wasn't looking for it but saw a link somewhere and just clicked on it to see what it was.Originally posted by AverageFC

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.
Well, the only ex I have that I dislike is my ex husband. All my other exes are good guys and I think highly of all of them...they just ended up not being what I was looking for.Originally posted by penkitten
