"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.

Its a cute story but its not 1985 anymore and doesnt apply in reality. It isnt manipulation its just purpose, self-improvement and keeping people around in my life. She cant complain because she did exactly the same in her best years as all girls do these days. This is the hand we MEN have been dealt. All these movements are here for a reason. There are dozens of them, why?

You talk about respect - girls today celebrate late term abortion, multiple sexual partners, rampant man hating, social media attention seeking, nudes, affairs, divorce. This is all the normal now. What is their left to respect?
 

"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.

did I say any of that is respectful? Don’t paint one colour with one broad brush.

I like to take a step back... and I think what we're seeing here between @AJ84 and @Medina is that people are drawn to others on their own wavelength. I personally find myself on AJ's wavelength, but at the same time it seems that Medina and his woman have similar values and behaviors (wavelength) and they're both aware of it, and that's why I don't condemn him or his woman for how they act toward each other. They have a relationship on their mutual wavelength just like AJ and her man do.

Exactly
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It's the societal values.

Many of it is being celebrated and subcommunicated to young girls, that in the end, they get rewarded.
