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.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
They're mostly from online dating, they're types i wouldn't really date long term you knowIf you don't like them because they seem to be narcissistic, cluster b, psychopathic or sadistic, I'd say don't date them just for the experience. Otherwise, if you're in a drought, sure. But I don't really see why you'd spend time with people you don't like. I find it's never worth the pvssy anyway.
What types are that?They're mostly from online dating, they're types i wouldn't really date long term you know
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.
Smash them at their place. Dont go out in public with chicks that are not very attractive. It's the quickest way to destroy your SMV.They're mostly from online dating, they're types i wouldn't really date long term you know
As always right on the money with advice, Glass! Also hilarious. I could picture both scenarios: the fatty and the hotty lmao.Smash them at their place. Dont go out in public with chicks that are not very attractive. It's the quickest way to destroy your SMV.
Can you imagine your ex's best friend seeing you out with a chubby girl that was worse than your ex in physical appearance? Youd be the talk and your ex would be walking on air.
Now imagine your ex's best friend seeing you out with a smoking hot chick this weekend. Your SMV would be through the roof.
Do the math. Dont take chicks out in public that are not high value and attractive. At least on your level or higher.

I just friend zoned and next a fatty on OLD after 2 dates. We had the same spiritual faith which is cool and important to me but damn... she didn’t pass the attraction test. I know I couldn’t smash. I would have to be drunk af to get physical with that chick.
It’s funny I rather stay in a “dry” spell of no plates than smash fatties.
This is a good one. If I have a chick that is all about me but just isnt cutting it in the looks dept to raise my SMV, I just tell her after a couple of dates that I realized I am not ready for a relationship right now. Normally I would swing that into a conversation that leads to "I am probably better off with something more casual right now since I am so busy" and see if she bites and spin her into a casual plate.I just friend zoned and next a fatty on OLD after 2 dates
It depends on ur interpretation of "interested in".I'm trying to get back into the dating scene after a breakup, should i date both girls i like and don't like just for experience, or only the girls i'm actually interested in?
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
My stance on this is to NOT take women that you arent attracted to out on "dates".General random dating can have benefits. If you particularly think you need to improve your social skills in a certain way, or if you just want a bit of company every now and then, sure go for it.
However, if you are wanting to improve your success with women that you are attracted to, dating women you're not attracted to won't help much. Despite what many will be willing to admit, men will behave differently around attractive women than they do with women they don't find attractive.
The only way to learn how to be successful with attractive women is to be with them, make the necessary mistakes, reflect and learn. This process can take longer than a few weeks or months, more often years. Most are not willing to put the work in, which results in this kind of settling.
With the greatest of respect, a lot of people in your position, men and women, will take the easy route as a knee-jerk reaction to being dumped. Long story short. Going out with anyone will feed your ego, satiate your loneliness/loss of your previous relationship, and pass the time. But it won't really do much to feed your potential.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Agreed. Though I don't really go on 'dates' anymore, even with girls I am attracted to, at least not officially. Traditional 'dating' is becoming more antiquated with every year that passes. Like, I would never say to a girl, 'Let's go out on a date'. I say, 'Let's go out next week for a drink / I'm going to XYZ, join me'. Then escalate. With respect, thinking about it further, 'dating' one group and not another may be considered pedestalisation by some.My stance on this is to NOT take women that you arent attracted to out on "dates".
You are lowering your SMV (she obviously is lower than you on looks) and you are spending money that you dont need to spend just to have interaction with a woman.
Remember, learning to be happy single and self improving is better than being with someone just for the sake of being with someone.
