"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.

My wings are really good-looking, to the point where it's becoming a problem

I have three guy friends I hangout with a lot that are good-looking, somewhere between 8.5-9's (no homo). They are really cool people and we have formed strong friendships--couldn't have asked for better friends.

I am the one with the most game and the most experience; however, I am about a 7 in looks, so relative to these dudes I am less attractive. They practically don't have to do anything and girls come talk to them OR if they build some courage to open, they girl is crazy happy when one of my friends opens. The opposite is true for me; I am successful sometimes, but I usually have to seek out the girl and get rejected a considerable part of the time.

I used to be really good at this; I was the guy pulling 2-3 girls a night at nightclubs when I was 19-21. But after breaking up with LTR of 3 years, I have been rusty (it has been almost 2 years now). I gained weight and basically lost a good part of my edge, while my proteges (the good looking guys) are thriving. I am really happy for them, but most of the time I simply get annoyed from being ignored while girls flock to my friends. I am currently working on losing weight (I have a pretty good build under the fat layer), but I do admit that I am self conscious about it. What do you all think?
 

“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.

Obviously, looks matter. And that's why your friends are having success, even if you used to be the pack leader.

Work on getting back into shape and work on your confidence, because you seem really down on yourself. You're still extremely young. You did it before and you can obviously do it again. Just remember that and remember that life goes on beyond girls as well.

Don't make getting a girl the focus of your life. Getting your confidence back should be the top priority.

my 2 best friends, i'm not gong to say they are better looking then me i'm a good looking dude, but both of them were very good looking dudes. one was more of a prototypical guy t, what women like, 6'2, chizzled, 12 pack

and i was the shortest of the three. and the youngest (by 2 weeks).

however, we played off each other quite well. all of us had game though by the time i was in my 20's i had more than both of them. what really helped me out was that, all three of us had very distinct different personalities. I'm preppy/a little high strung/i like to dress up so 9 out of 10 times i'm going to be the "cleanest" of the 3 of us. girls who liked that look gravitated towards me. Then the oldest of us was the most laid back of us of us and while i played the piano, he is the one who taught me how to play the piano he's a serious musician. he's very talanted and of the three of us, he was probably the most AFC of all three, he just was more popular than i was so girls gave him a longer leesh, but he was bad lol. so girls who were more of a clingy /LTR type gravitated towards him. and the middle one was the tall/chizzled one and he's the most playful of the three of us so he usually attracted the ones who just liked to party/have a good time.

all three of us kept girls interested and when one liked one, we worked off that there was no jealousy (until my one's started to look much better than theirs at least) . for a while there it was a thing of beauty. girl would know good and well im' out with another girl and they would call my friends and both woudl spend 30 or so minutes telling them how much i like them so i would be out doing my hing and i come home and not only is the girl not pissed she's cooked dinner and **** and she is happy because my friends have re assured her that i am really into her. that's ****ing friends for you right there. and i would do the same to them. the **** was fun as hell.

that's how friends are supposed to be i don't care how hot a girl is.

but you got to get back in shape.

News flash... your the wingman here!
 

"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.
