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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Energizer said:A woman who thinks masturbation is weird clearly won't like her boyfriend jerking off to porn.
A lot of women have a big problem with pornography, because they see it as demeaning to the women in general and a lot of women will also feel worthless, they'll think "my boyfriend is masturbating to porn, instead of having sex with me, there must be something wrong with me".
I can masturbate without visual aid, therefore when ever I was in a relationship, I wouldn't use porn, but I'd use my mind and picture myself fecking all of my girlfriend's mates, except the butters one's that was far better and no porn problem.
Of course you can still watch porn, just don't tell your girlfriend or risk it and tell your girlfriend and she what she thinks, there are women who love porn and will watch it with you. Just depends on the girl I'm guessing.
Your brother has sense, there is nothing wrong with pornography mate, if your girlfriend is on holiday for a week, it is not unreasonable for you to masturbate to porn. If she has a problem with it, just watch it when she isn't around and remember to delete your computer history (incase she snoops).anx1ety said:Yea, I understand all that. And my brother apparently just does it without his girlfriend knowing. And I've been thinking I would just ask her how she feels about it, and if there's a problem with it..I'll just use my mind instead.
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.
Are you Dubya? Are you Dubya? Are you Dubya in disguise? :crackup:Warrior74 said:fvck what she thinks...she can either get naked or shut the hell up. A man has to get off, and they don't always wanna fvck. They don't get to have it all dammit and neither do we, which is why God made porn. So we can jerk it when she's being a bytch.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
No, what would be AFC is to hit next everytime you have a disagreement with your girlfriend and why would you want to cause problems for yourself by letting your girlfriend know that you are watching pornography when she is against it?cola said:Further more, your are a man. You can do whatever the fvck you want and if she doesn't like it NEXT. Its AFC to consider changing/hiding any habit or activity you engadge in for the benefit of a female.
Why not watch it with her or try out the stuff you see on her?anx1ety said:I talked to her about it. She said she doesn't care, and doesn't see it as being disloyal. Success.

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
Good you asked her permsission first.anx1ety said:I talked to her about it. She said she doesn't care, and doesn't see it as being disloyal. Success.
Again, why would you admit this to her? How does admitting you like getting of by watching men pulling, slapping, spitting, choking and inserting all types of objects inside women, turn her on? How does help your relationship? I hope you didn't admit to her just to feel better about yourself. You should be teaching how to salsa dance instead of bringing up your masturbation habits to her.anx1ety said:my situation with it:
I like most men masturbate. And I do so most of the time with the aid of porn. And I've been with my current girl for about 3 months and have never thought to mention it cuz I never really thought of it until now..it just seemed like something normal.
Why on earth would be tell your girlfriend about your masturbating and porn habits?
"Hi Jennifer, I just thought you should know that even though we have lots of sex and I've seen you naked, I often have to resort to porn to get off because your body just doesn't do it for me sometimes. Plus, with porn their is no judgment against me by the women on the screen so I feel confident and masculine"
I don't think she has a problem with masturbation at all, although she's said she doesn't do it, she thinks it's a little weird. But my brothers girlfriend of 7 years is very against him doing it to porn and I'm kinda worried me coming out 3 month into the relationship and going oh yeah..do you have a problem with me masturbating to porn might be a problem. Like she'll feel as if I've been disloyal or something, which is something I'm very against.
Hardly successful. The small chance that she actually is okay with it aside, she's now going to do her utmost to monitor your porn-watching habits. When she catches you out the first few times, she'll object to the circumstances under which you watched the porn, rather than the fact you watched it - 'I'd rather you don't make it obvious, I don't mind but I would rather just not know about it', 'you watched it while I was in your house, asleep? That is so disrespectful!', 'you watched it while you were in my house and I was at work? That is-' you get the idea.anx1ety said:I talked to her about it. She said she doesn't care, and doesn't see it as being disloyal. Success.
We watch it together, what's wrong about it? Every once in awhile we both wanna see what's on the Playboy channel. The other day we both fvcked to "bonin' the nurse"anx1ety said:Some say it's wrong, some say it's not. What is your opinion?
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
