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.
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.
I was discussing the importance of penis size and other factors with a gf and, without showing her my estimates or hinting that attitude was my choice for top factor, got her to rate them in a similar way. Bear in mind that I have a massive penis so she was under no pressure to under-score penis size for my benefit. I also told her to add any factors I'd forgotten. Her answers are as follows.Originally posted by Nighthawk
Also remember - long and thin, goes straight in, short and thick does the trick.
Luckily mine is both long AND thick, but I reckon size is only 25% of what's important to be a good lover, with stamina at 20%, hand skills at 10%, tongue skills at 25% and DOMINANT/SEXY ATTITUDE the most important at 30%.
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.
Ain't that the truth. The sad thing is when I was 18 and horny as a billy goat I couldn't get laid to save my life. Now that I'm 31, more mature/confident, I can get laid pretty easy but I'm nowhere near as horny.Cruise said:Yeah... you get to a point when your jimmy doesn't respond to just any chick anymore... not like high school/college days... it needs more stimulation... in this case emotional connection and that 'chemistry'.
2 cents.
