Microphone Fiend
Master Don Juan
Seriously.... it is gettin to the point that no one seems to be learning
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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
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.

I think just giving people a different perspective on a situation or problem they're having is reason enough to have the forums. I definatly don't take all the advice I read from other people because I do have a mind of my own and I'll concider things before implicating them. I do however read what people are saying and THINK about what they're saying. Everyone has a different perspective, and if what i'm reading is crap then it's really up to me to see that.
Sure there's alot of bad advice going around out there, but it's up to the person who posed the question to use their brain and weed out whats bad from what's not. After reading the bible, anybody should be able to tell good advice from bad advice. If they don't take that first step, it's really their own fault if they go out and try to utilize some one's bad advice.
