"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.

I don't know if its my age, 38, or work making me tired or what. This is the first time in my life that the opportunity of guaranteed sex does not make me lose my rational mind. Is there a magic number you hit do you think where it just ceases to have the hold over you any more....encounter number wise?

I've been with over 20 women now and have seen a lot of different poon, bodies, had diff kinds of sex, seen tons o porn too...I mean is there a saturation point? Last week an ed spent the weekend with me and I turned her down twice because of some bull****s she pulled while shopping, something I wouldn't have done before. Another time I cut it off with a girl I was dating even though she had exactly the type of body I love...I mean stacked. I resented the fact that I thought she was playing games subtly, but I felt sex was imminent if I stuck in there. Didn't feel the payoff was worth my self respect.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

well I've been with a lot less women and have the same situation going on.

I'm 38

In one situtation a few months back I stayed over, but purposely not initiated sex when I knew 100% I could get it.

years ago (before getting wiser after joining this site) I would have done anything to get it. Now not so much. I won't be played.

thank goodness I found this forum when I did.

Not sure about any age/number. Think it's just when we reach the BS limit. I've taken all I'm ever taking
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I believe it is exactly that mentality that drives them crazy. That you can't be manipulated.

I turned a lot of girls down back in the day, often for the reason that I didn't care for their attitude or manipulations. It drove them crazy and I honestly think it drove a lot of girls to sleep with me.

I'm probably approaching 100 now but I often wonder what my number would be if I had just gone ahead and slept with them. Would it have hurt me or helped me?

I am guessing it would have been a short-term gain but a long-term loss, simply because giving up self-respect for pu$$y may seem like a good idea at the moment, but it never ends up that way.
This.

If you're not managing your frame, you're just supplicating for sex which makes you AFC.
