"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.

Random topic but I just wanted some input if this was normal.

So last night I got drunk and took a few puffs of a cigerette. I am not a smoker and have never smoked before. It tasted like ass and messed up my throat. I woke up this morning and my throat still feels burned from last night and I feel like I have that damn smoke taste in my mouth/throat all the time, especially when I'm eating. Whenever I eat it feels like im going to throw up now because of that taste in my mouth.

Is this normal? Is it going to go away soon or is my mouth going to be ****ed up for awhile?
 

"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.

It will go away. Give it a day or two.
Did you try a mouthwash like Scope?

It will go away. Dont EVER, EVER , EVER do that again! That is how people get hooked. They think "that tastes like crap, I could never get hooked on that."

To get hooked on cigs, you actually have to build a tolerance to it. You are inhaling poison, and your body knows it. To keep smoking, you have to suffer through the headaches, sore throat, and coughing, before you make yourself 'think' you enjoy it.

It's absolutely dumbfounding that we get addicted to those things, when the first few packs are very unenjoyable.

speaking of which: day 10 without a smoke, for me.

Hey

Don't keep on smoking, that's how I got hooked.

I can stop using alcohol, drugs with ease but I find it hard as hell to stop smoking.

Bad habbit.
 

"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.

I knew alot of guys that never smoked until they tried it when they were drunk. Then, they said they only smoke when their drunk. Before you know it their smoking reguarly. Best thing to do is stay away before you get hooked.

The taste will go away. The first few times you smoke it feels gross but after a while it becomes less and less bad until you start to actually like it.

I made the mistake of getting to the point where I enjoyed smoking but I cut myself off because I knew I was on the verge of getting hooked. Now I never smoke, not even when I'm drunk.

I have to repeat what everyone else here has said. Completely normal to feel like ass afterwards. And I remember saying "why are people hooked on this? It tastes like sh1t!" Well, 9 years later and I am about to go smoke a cigarette outside in 5 degree weather.

Stay away from it.
