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.
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.
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.

Just listen to what appeals to you, no matter who it comes from.

Suprised no-one else has said anything.
I give the best advice and best insight of any poster on this forum since its' inception! And yes this is an outlet for me for entertainment and humor - humor requires interaction!rrrrr said:every once in a while i think he gives decent advice but i think that this is mostly an outlet for him to give us his supposed humor.

LMS do you get the hors?
Yes, take from this forum what best suits you - differing views create more options. I am alone in my thinking so you need someone like me to offer that unique perspective!!Ace of Flames said:Why does it matter? A better question, why make a whole thread on it?

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Hmmmmmm, I thought you apoligized to me and made a truce but then here you go starting the name calling!!! One sentence of one my posts have more insight than all of your posts combined!!!lookyoung said:I understand what your saying. But, when you are starting a thread and trying to discuss a serious topic, He will invade your thread with stupid comments. It just seems like he is on this forum to poke fun at people for the most part. Very few of his posts are genuine. Imagine if everyone posted like this loser, the whole sosuave would be a joke. I think people should at least try to be courteous to one another.
I rather have a guy that uses bad languages, speaks up for himself, than have someone like LMS who 95% of the time never gives any serious advice. Personally if it was up to me this guy would be banned.
that sounds like retarded advice. i don't want to fill my mind with a bunch of crap some loser pulled out of his ass that has no basis in real world experience just cause i think it sounds nice then i go out and fall on my ass.Ace of Flames said:Why does it matter?

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
If Last Man Standing is PRL, then you guys had better listen up. This is a guy that has excellent information, and he knows what he's talking about.
