"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.

Guys,

We're getting too many political and other off-topic threads in here. These belong in "Anything Else".

I'm not going to move any existing ones at this point but from now on please post any threads that don't DIRECTLY deal with our dealings with women in the "Anything Else" section.

Please take a moment to read Colossus' list of Forum Rules that are stickied at the top. Thanks.
 

"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.

So the half dozen sensitive manginas we have here finally whined loud enough to the boss mods then. Guess it was only a matter of time.

One could argue the current political climate directly determines ones dealings with women but I won't split hairs, rules are rules. Just a shame big boy talk will be shat on by the likes of whiteboy and every other socially oblivious 17 year old with a tidy blue pill opinion. Good times. It's going to be even more chaotic than the handful of mewling bilge rats we had crying over adult conversation in here.

I agree 100% but the rules stand. Most of the posts that technically should go into AE would be entirely appropriate for MM with just the slightest change of words and/or approach.

Like any system or platform, the creative writer can easily accomplish his purpose within the parameters/boundaries of the system with the judicious use of words.
