Holy hell. :crackup:Ronaldo7 said:It's only called beating up to those who interpret it so. Correcting or domesticating is a better word.
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.

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.
wait legit? I thought you guys were between the ages of 10 and 25soulforge said:i know.. this is f#cking silly... i am 37 years old.. she is 40
Epimanes said:First off. Why do you care what she says? What's her actions say?
Secondly I bet you in 4-7 days she has her period. Chalk it up horomones brewing fueled by a likely fact that she's been cheated on in the past and your actions are triggering her insecurities which are amplified by her upcoming period and anxiety from being cheated on in the past.
Does this make it right? Hell no .. She needs to recognize her anxiety and find healthy ways to curb it.
Jmho
Epi.
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.
This is gold.PairPlusRoyalFlush said:Also, these Cluster B women often seek validation right before they betray you...like they want to make sure you're safely on board because they're so insecure.
Pretty much everything you wrote after this was unecessary. The first 6-12 months of any relationship should be nothing except fvcking at every opportunity, or making arrangements to meet up and fvck at the next opportunity.soulforge said:i have been seeing this woman just over a year...
in that time we have broke up twice... first time she broke it off, the second time i broke it off..
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.
Ronaldo7 said:All great men command respect. What do Chad Ochocinco, Floyd Mayweather, and Chris Brown have in common? They all put the broad in her rightful place when she disrespected them. She only acts up when she knows that repercussions will be none. This is a one-time solution too. Once you do it the first time, she will never dare to pull anything like that. Worked for me.
What reasoning did you use to deduce that i idolize them?cordoncordon said:You named 3 real winners there. All have severe emotional and behavioral disorders to put it mildly. I pity you for idolizing men like this.
Child please.....

Hahahaha! I don't know why but for some reason this cracked me up! Seriously though, this is a case where Soulforge is in lust and is mistaking it for love. This woman is messed up and has a lot of behavioral and psychological issues. If I were in your shoes, I would avoid sex with her at all costs. All it takes is one mistake and you could accidentally get this nutcase pregnant. And trust me, that's the last thing you want to do. You want to cut her off and get her out of your life permanently. If you get her pregnant, then you're going to have to deal with her on some level for the rest of your life.Purefilth said:Unless she's the rose growing out of the manure (which I highly doubt after skimming through this thread)
she is low value bro.
never take threats of any kind seriouslyAristippus said:p.s. As a sidenote, and in all seriousness, most of the time when a woman threatens suicide, she won't go through with it and is using it as a way to manipulate you. She wants to force a decision by scaring you into not leaving. Ultimately, if you're really concerned, instead of telling her "Please don't kill yourself!", try calling the police and telling them you just broke up with so and so and she threatened to kill herself. Hahahaha She might be surprised to see the officers at her door trying to talk her out of it. Maybe she will think twice about pulling that garbage again. In the snowball's chance in he!! that she's serious, you might save her life. Highly unlikely, since the first scenario is the most probable.
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.
