"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Not too long ago there was meet-up of the Orlando Sosuave crew. It was in a kewl cigar lounge suggested by Scrouds and the meet-up went into the night. A photo was taken shortly before I had to leave after "only" three hours. Click here for the picture

From left to right: C-quenced, Scrouds, KarmaSutra (squating), Deep Dish/Rogue, and STR8UP. Notable absence of Rollo Tomassi.
 

"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 a badass snap Brother!

Let's make our Knights of Kamelot round tables a monthly or bi-monthly event.

It's one of the most beneficial things I have in my life and I appreciate the time we all spend together.

We can make it Maduro's if you guys like?

Thank you for this thread brother. This will hopefully be an open door for other men in the area to come join and expand their konciousness.

Is this the same Deep Dish that claims he's checked out by 98% of women? Really, he said that, I'm not joking. With a claim like that I'm surprised he's not walking around with a Brad Pitt mask and a Giant Gonzalez bodysuit.

That is what I have been told by multiple reliable and trustworthy sources. It's not something I really notice because women are discreet and subtle when they check out men unless they have very high interest and want to take action, and most women have moderate interest or perhaps too shy to let their eyes be caught.
 

"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.

Awesome stuff.

Haha, C-quenced could really get away with rocking an oldschool kind of pimp/gangsta look if he wanted.

Put a bunch of gold rings on his fingers, gold chain around his neck, gel in the hair and sunglasses and he'd be stylin. :crackup:

Too bad I don't have photoshop or I'd make the picture into some kind of KarmaSutra rap album cover. :p

Me and C are working on building a foundation for his castle of self worth.

We would definitely appreciate some outside perspective from a brother or two who "get it".

I'll PM you with current status in a bit Brother KX.

I'm more an old school rock guy. Think Boston or Black Sabbath. I'm sure you could do something along those lines! :)

Dishrogue is more of a covert ops DJ in the way Neil Strauss was. He's not as in your face as KARMA is, but he pulls.

I think bi-monthly would probably be best. I can't wait until the yearly summit to Martini Fest in a few weeks. It's funny observing a truckload of cougars try to hang onto whatever hasn't already gone extinct.

Rogue looks like a guy who can pull IMO. KS has a certain look that some chicks really go for.

rogue looks like one of my natural buddies, except my buddy isn't as skinny, bald head and all that, and he pulls left and right

Good stuff

And we'll be there to catch the overflow in our giant Crunk-ish goblets! Count me in fo' sho'!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

How is the Orlando bar scene Karma(and the rest of you guys?)? are the women very receptive towards direct game? or do you have to fluff and bull****?

We met at a cigar bar. We spent our evening talking and getting to know each other. Sarging wasn't our goal.

The rock/jazz fusion was good and the women were receptive. Next time perhaps we'll be out as each other's wingmen.

Brother Solomon are you local too?

Mr. Karma

No I'm not local @ all, but I love to travel and like to know what the "scene" is in other areas besides my own. That's cool that you guys took the time to get to know each other, I've meet a few SSers in my area as well, some of them were great guys some were eeeh

It's interesting how some of the board's best posters are in Orlando. Perhaps I'll be able to get my ass down there sometime in the near future.
That would be kewl.
