You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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.
Wrong.Wow, Vincent finally posts something helpful.
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.
This has got to be the most sad thing I've ever read on a message board. First of all, you're in SoSuave's house now, and he can tell you what you can and can't say any time he wants. The Consititution is about what the government can and can't tell you to do. Dont' try and act like you've had some horrible, unconstitutional act perpetrated against you, you tool. Second, you were banned not because you posted a foot fetish thread, but because you post stupid threads constantly that have no reason being on a pick-up/self-improvement board. This would be less noticable if you ever posted a thread that indicated that you were learning or growing or actually benefitting from this board. And what point is there in asking about fetishes if you won't learn the things to get you a woman to practice it on?MikeViper said:I'll go to somewhere that abides by the constitution.
Good. That was probably the idea behind banning you. You not coming back is a good thing. You wouldn't have been banned if you were in anyway a contributing member, or if you gave any evidence that the questions you asked were actually sensible and had a reason to be on this board.MikeViper said:And no, I probably won't be coming back
Cliffs note of that threadMikeViper said:And I never posted a thread that showed that I was learning, BS:

What've you got to say now? If you say something, it's obviously not going to be right.
No, we wanted you to improve and ever since it became painfully obvious to everyone but you that you are not ever going to improve, mods decided that it was better to improve the site and get you off of it.MikeViper said:you guys want me to improve? Banning me is SURE helping that(It's sarcasm, idiot).
Shut up and whine somewhere else. Seriously, get medicated, your head doesn't work right.MikeViper said:It's obvious that if you actually KNEW anything you wouldn't of banned me in the first place.
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.
Ok, :crackup:, post a long list of all your positive threads. We might actually care enough from your list to write a list of our own about whatever negative threads we can find.MikeViper said:show the administrators all of my negative topics, while passing up my positive ones, and again, pull sh*t out of his ass.
There you go, now you see why you were banned. You can't offer opinion of worth, so we got rid of your ability to do so. Feel free to read, but don't comment.MikeViper said:You know? That's nice man, if this site were EVERYTHING I might actually care about being banned. Being banned, doesn't stop me from viewing the advice on this site, being banned doesn't stop me from improving with girls, and being banned, certainly doesn't affect my life. Heh, it's almost a good thing, because I won't have to hang around you losers anymore, I won't have to listen to your bad advice, and I might just be able to get laid.
