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.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
once again....for those who can't read or don't take the time to read the latest replies.....the 1st link in the initial thread post is BROKEN, it will take you to a random picture every time, but for everyone who saw the initial picture about a week ago, refer to my long response right above this one, because I have exposed cordoncordon as an approval-seeking little pvssy, who needed THIS forum to tell him how hot his asian girlfriend is, and just look at how hard he has tried in this thread to defend her skinny dirty honor!Semtex said:girl 1 = meh, she looks like she'd be boring in the sack
girl 2 = crazy, unbridled no holds barred sex...but i wouldnt wanna be seen walking down the street with her.

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.
Hey kid, you're a regular Sherlock Holmes. You think discovered the find of the century. I mean this is amazing stuff. And you're so proud of yourself too! What an exciting and fulfilling life you must lead for you to be so excited about what you think went on!! And the time you spent researching this all. Wow. Want a biscuit?Rescue Mission said:dude you posted another pic of the first girl (which is not on hotornot anymore by the way), and you said that it's your girlfriend:
You of course have edited that thread, and removed the picture, but you put the same picture as I linked above, and said this is "your lil asian hottie"
http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1710821#post1710821
looking at her face, that is EXACTLY the same girl from the first pic in this thread you have here (again, that hotornot link doesn't work anymore, but anyone who saw the 1st pic of the skinny girl, knows exactly what she looks like)
dude, no wonder you are defending her skinny azz so much on this thread....ITS YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!
Why did you have to be all sneaky about this like a huge pvssy??
You couldn't just say "hey, this is my girlfriend, do you think she looks better than this curvy random chick?"
Instead, someone smart like myself had to connect the dots and call you out on your own pvssiness!!
pathetic dude, really pathetic
so instead of owning up to acting like a pvssy who wanted the whole forum to approve of his skinny ugly-faced girlfriend, you decide to verbally attack me for no reason?cordoncordon said:Hey kid, you're a regular Sherlock Holmes.

I mean damnnnnn.....You lead a rather boring life don't you? You are over dramatizing this x 1000. Just walk away, walk slowly away from the thread.
Anyway, the pic that the girl had up on that dating site was a bathing suit pic as I recall, and maybe one in a dress, but certainly wasn't the one that I have up in the other one. I picked that girls pic in this thread to put up because she is my type. And newsflash, most Asian girls have long dark hair, so some do look similar. But hey, keep those sluething skillzzzz coming, maybe someday you can make a buck or two from it.
Hey, if something like this can make you so happy, I see now why you date the ugly trash that you do. It doesn't take much to satisfy you huh?? You set such high standards for yourself. Of course, you are the same punk that had the nerve to tell BB he should have had an abortion instead of taking his kid to Hawaii. Classy.
Now, go back to your moma's basement and jerk off to some more fattie porn. Or in your case, gay fattie porn while listening to Tom Leykis, since you yourself said you have listened to every show of his for the past 7 years. (Who has time for that? Or better yet...who would want to?) Like I said, your life is AMAZING!!!
You didn't catch jack because you are wrong.Rescue Mission said:so instead of owning up to acting like a pvssy who wanted the whole forum to approve of his skinny ugly-faced girlfriend, you decide to verbally attack me for no reason?
Talk about an insane defense mechanism...........it took me all of 10 seconds to catch you with this shyt, I didn't exactly waste any time doing it.
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.
you are such a chick.cordoncordon said:All of this coming from a guy who jerked off to some girl sitting next to him in a car in a parking lot. A girl who wasn't even into him.

You're a freaking psycho.
Best I can do? Ok lol. She's great looking (head turner where ever we go-white guys seem to love her, fun, up for anything, easy going, dresses like a fashion model, smart-she's an accountant, mature, responsible, not a head case.... I think we've been in two fights in 1.5 years and they were my fault. Only thing she isn't is real athletic, but can't win them all.Bluntmaster said:Cordon says he is filthy rich and that's the best he can do?
I still want to see a clear pic of her. People post blurry pics when they don't look that great up close.
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.
