"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.

Have any of you guys noticed this over the last couple of days? Since New Years I've been approached more by women both when I'm out and about and while I am online. They aren't just saying "hi" either, they are truly approaching with a purpose. Even women that had slipped off my radar months ago are coming out of the woodwork. What gives?

Do you guys think that women have chosen to be more aggressive as their New Year's resolution? Has Oprah or "The View" plugged this idea into their heads?

Just Curious
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I'd put it down to them having no-one over the holiday period, and getting all lonely. New years seems like the ideal time to do something about it.

maybe they just see the new year as a new opportunity to get a new man in their lives.

That's what I'm guessing but this year it seems that women are a bit more determined. I thought it was just the ones online but even just sitting in a coffee shop or browsing in a bookstore I'm being approached by women that seem more "ballsy" than I had noticed before. No complaints, it's just amusing to watch.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

That's what I was thinking. A new years resolution to find a man.

I hear chocolate only does it for so long ;)

Don't forget guys, Valentines Day is only a month or so away, so they could be thinking ahead.

Aren't they scoundrels? Always looking ahead.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Ahhhh, therein lies their devilish plan... Attempting to spin a web for those who will feed their need for the spoils bestowed upon them an unsuspecting AFCs who have hopes of capturing their admiration with the lure of gifts wrapped in crimson.

I wish I had the problem of girls approaching me!

Girls not approaching me is why I came to sites like this in the first place.

Nothing has changed but I've gotten better at attracting them so they will eventually chase after me!

I must visit this Minneapolis of which you write.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Eh, just work on being more approachable. Maybe start off by looking at the women around you and notice what makes some more approachable than others.

I got caught once in a book store doing this and locked eyes with one woman who asked outright why I was purposely checking out every woman in the store. I was caught so what could I do? I told her the truth. I was trying to figure out why some women seemed more approachable than others. She gave me a stupid look and told me that she could tell me herself. Long story short, it's more about you than it is them.

Eh, save your money. If you want to visit someplace worthwhile in the states, I'd suggest Denver.

Was out there last month for a ski trip but I didn't see much of the city this time. I love Denver, urban but not too crowded, women are in much better shape than the beasts here in Chicago. Close to skiing, and in the summer rafting, biking, climbing, fishing, etc. I've tried working my contacts out there but haven't been able to find a good job. That's one of the few places I could live where I would consider working in a cube again.
