"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Not sure why I am posting this, more of a idea vomit and a story than anything else.

Last week I inadvertently gave my new girlfriend a massive $hit test and she passed it with flying colors.

A couple weeks ago she got a UTI, no big deal. She had not been sexually active for 7 months before we started banging, so this is pretty common. Also she had a little bit of bleeding after some rougher sex. Again, not a big deal.

The first UTI was treated, but another came along 2 weeks later. Then I started having symptoms on a Friday.

The end of my c0ck hurt, just inside the tip. Then the pain moved to my balls. Classic chlamydia symptoms for both her and me. I was out of town for the weekend, but Monday I went to the clinic and got a bunch of STD and UTI tests. I decided to call her and tell her what was going on. Not a fun call to make, but she took it ok. She opted to go get tested even though I didn’t have my results back. She works as a nurse, so she was able to get her tests run much quicker than mine.

We waited all week for the results. On Wednesday I went over to her place, she made me dinner and we went on a long walk. Obviously I felt really bad about the whole situation since I likely was the giver of the disease (she had been tested at the beginning of the year because she suspected her ex had cheated on her).

We talked about the situation, the treatment and I think both parties came to accept that the reality of the sitation wasn’t really that bad. Chlamidia is easily treated with antibiotics and when caught early, is unlikely to cause any permanent effects.

Then her results came: Negative!!
Then mine the next day: Negative on all counts!!

I was very pleased, still not entirely sure what was going on with my junk, but its 85% healed on its own. The doctor said to keep an eye on it and see a urologist if it doesn’t clear up in a couple weeks.

All in all, my girl remained calm, kept her emotions in check and dealt with the situation very maturely. I did apologize to her, but I didn’t kiss her ass. I kept strong through the whole thing.

In the end it is all just sort of funny. I felt like I just pulled off a massive $hit test by accident and she passed it quite nicely.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Haha she sounds like a keeper! Nice work, Mtn. I had something similar recently - STI symptoms with everything coming back negative. I'm your age too, so I think the thing is: our bodies just start to do weird things as we get older. Haha. And because we're hyper-focused on that area, we notice it more. Also, if you're like me, you probably have sex more than the average dude. That can irritate the hell out of our little buddies. I ended up at the urologist and he told me some version of all of that. Specifically, he said if you kept aggressively rubbing your forehead, wouldn't it hurt and take some time to heal?

This is quite interesting to me.

If we give women sh*t tests what will they do? I think most would bail.

It is empowering to do it though because if we don't we become the weaker sex

i find myself giving little $hit tests sometimes, but I don't think it really works the same way as her $hit tests.

I think women need to constantly test your frame, and thus her $hit tests. Our tests are seeking different types of information. I don't really care if my girl is a strong alpha who will keep me in check and is desired by other dudes. I care that she is independent, rational (as a woman can be), giving, feminine, and will not cheat etc.

I think the whole process of screening women that is talked about so often on here is our version of the $hit test.

That being said, I don't think I would have the balls to pull the STD scare test off on purpose, but feel free to steal my idea if you are man enough to try it! :rockon:

Ugh, way to go, now skinnyguy is going to be telling girls he has an STD and we're going to get a million threads about it over the next year.

Thanks a lot, Mtn :p
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

In the future go get your test and keep your ball pain to yourself.
