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.
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.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Pardon me for being sexist, but you women in general do not have the same comraudery that we men have. Maybe you are different since you are looking for what we are, but in general... don't be expecting to find the female version of sosuave.Miss said:What is it you are looking for specifically?
Something like this for women.
How could there be a site like this for women?
There can be a site like this for women easily, women telling women how to deal with the opposite sex. Why is that impossible?
This might be a shallow question, but do women seriously have anywhere NEAR as much trouble these things as guys do?
Women have just as much trouble with men as you have with them. Are you kidding, lol. Have you ever overheard two women have any conversation?
That is the quiz site I mentioned.Bible_Belt said:
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.
No, society invented seduction. The only thing we had before society was pure mating, and the girl only went for the best.women invented seduction

No seduction involved.

Hey doc!
You losin your mind or something?
Your not speaking right... snap out of it man...
You know nobody's going to respect your game if you keep talking like that.
lol, docs, what ARE you smoking today?Docs said:I'm a Ogre! Rawww!:rockon:
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.
i care to disagree. ancient civilizations that repressed women where they did not have any power to compete with the brute strenght of men had to rely on something else. Women figuered out that men had an insatiable appetite for sex, and from that concept they figuered out many of the same techniques we use on women today to seduce them. seduction wasnt just to get a man into bed but to gain power. Think of cleopatra.........Docs said:No, society invented seduction. The only thing we had before society was pure mating, and the girl only went for the best.

Yea, and what if there was? you're gonna follow the 3 second rule, approach a guy and go sarging w/ your girlfriends? ****y and funny a guy? Women don't approach ANYWHERE in nature, you have it easy, why not just sit back and relax?Miss said:Is there a site like this for women?
