"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.

many of you may not be aware, but on march 31st , comic relief was in a horrible wreck and was trapped in his car and badly hurt. the area he lives in had snow and he must have hit a patch of black ice and skidded the center line which caused him to wreck with a milk tanker. firefighters had to cut him from his car. he was life flighted into the hospital.
i have seen the pictures and i can not believe he is alive. there are more than a dozen people standing over his car trying to get him out.
the vehicle - omg!

thankfully he is alive.
he has a slew of injuries including:
right leg - broken ankle, smashed petella (knee cap), and fractured femur
left arm - open fracture of the radius and ulna and severed tendons in my pinkie, ring, and middle fingers

and you know what... he was able to walk 70 feet today, he had some stitches in his arm removed and last night he posted a picture with a big smile even though he is in tremendous pain.


please keep this thread going and chime in with all of your get well wishes and feel better things. let us keep our brother in good spirits because he needs us too.

as soon as i can figure out how to post pictures on here - i will post some.


comic- i hope you aren't in pain from walking today. eat everything they bring you - you need strength to recover. rest up because tomorrow you have more pt therapy.
 

"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.

Thank you for posting this penkitten, everything she said is quite true. My typing skills are severely limited because of only being able to use one hand. I appreciate you writing this up for me Penkitten.

Isn't that how you normally type anyway? :whistle:

Get better man. Been there (only not as severely injured as you, but close...) it gets better with time. Follow the doctors orders along with therapy.

the best part is that there is no brain injury, spinal injury, or head injuries.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I was able to accomplish 3X100 ft walks with a walker yesterday. The physical therapists say that I am ahead of schedule for where they want me to be. :rockon:

Comic Relief,


Sorry to hear about your accident, but glad you're still here to "tell the tale"---and I believe THAT is no "accident".

Looks like you've got quite a lot left to accomplish down here, soldier.

But first------rest up, follow the Doctor's orders, and "pace" yourself.

Your life's mission will wait whatever time that's necessary in order for you to heal and report back for duty.


Special Note:

Let binge-watching your favorite TV shows on Netflix be a worthy-enough mission for for you for now, bro'. :rockon:

Much PEACE and RESPECT to you.
