"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.

Living only an hour from New Orleans (though traffic once you get to New Orleans during Mardi Gras week takes an hour to get through...) I decided to go down with a 'friend' and check out what was happening on Bourbon Street. We got up there, met with some of my friends, and all went to one of the parades - the first parade picture is from in front of my house, last Friday... the rest are New Orleans.

Oh, and a word about the plastic roses - they were her idea, and worked great. Wal-Mart sells them for $3/dozen... and when coupled with even a mediocre set of beads, normal girls will turn into lunatics exposing anything you want in hopes that you'll throw it down to them... As you can see, we were lucky enough to get a spot on a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street, which is no simple task in the mass confusion known as "Mardi Gras". Oh yeah, she likes girls too - this one might just be a keeper... ;)

Here's a preview of what you'll see inside... yes, I know, but I just got really, really bored.

Now, on to the legal stuff. The following link contains material of an adult nature. If you are offended by nudity, particularly by the exposing of breasts by females of the age of consent (although the last few girls did look pretty young...) then you should not follow the link contained in this thread. Furthermore, if you are under the age of 18 (21 in some areas), or if your community has laws restricting your access to such material, you are not permitted to follow the link to my website's image gallery.


Okay, now on to the pictures!

"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.

Nice site, but can someone please explain to me the culture of exchanging beads with exposure to breasts or other body parts? Do you win something at the end of you have the most beads or what?

Nope, it just seems to be a tradition... nothing is won except for the beads themselves. With so many hundreds of thousands of tourists, it would be rather hard for anyone to determine who has the best beads.
 

"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 have to say, I think it's really ****ed up when for most of the year you go to a bar and you have to endure painstakingly boring conversation and laugh at people's stupid jokes just to have a SMALL CHANCE of getting action in the future (maybe not even in THAT night).

Or you can go to mardi gras, throw a set of 50 cent plastic beads, and get an all access pass.

WTF?

Yeah, America's great, isn't it? :D
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
