"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.

Studying theories has it's advantages but there's a lot to be said for being agile and thinking on your feet. Pe prepared to take advantage of impromptu opportunities and you'll be surprised at what you can get yourself into. :up:

British tourist talks his way into Hollywood role
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I was at the vid store last night, and when I was checking out, the clerk informed me that I had some late fees. I had no intention of trying to get out of paying them, but simply joked about how much money they make off me and my continuous late fees. Then I cracked a joke about one of the movies that was late, and said that it was now costing me $20 for that horrible movie (Into the Wild, horrible flick).

Next thing you know, she completely waived the $20 bucks or so without me suggesting it or asking for it to be removed.

And again, the other day, I was getting a coffee downtown, and thought I had a five dollar bill in my pocket. Turned out that I did not. So I hand the guy my debit card and say, "Gosh, I hate to use this for such a small purchase, but I thought I had a five on me. Sorry bro."

He says, "No problem dude. It's on me."

And I said, "Thanks man. But I don't even have any money for a tip."

He says, "Don't worry about it. Catch me next time."


That was just plain awesome. A smile and some chit chat can go a long way. Altogether, that is $25 that is still in my bank account. Take things as they come, and you may be surprised at the results.

That is some good advice Mag. Reminds me of when an old boss/mentor one time told me, don't be afraid to ask stuff for free, its amazing what people will give you. Especially when dealing in a business to business aspect.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

That's the kind of stuff that I'm talking about. I use to take experiences like this for granted until I added up just how much you can get without much effort. Now I just have to find out where Gweneth is filming her next movie.

I still do lateral thinking questions, puzzles and strategy questions to keep my mind sharp. The more you do the faster your brain reacts to the enviorment around you in terms of though as well. It's gotten me out of more then one jam.

PR,

Where do you get the exercises? I've found those kind of things helpful but never really had a resource. I'm a bit of a nerd at times and like taking IQ tests just for the challenge of the questions cuz I don't know where else to get those types of questions to keep me sharp.

You can either get them off the net via search or if you're old school, go to barnes and noble or similar. They have a section dedicated to puzzles.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.
