"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Methodology - How they went about determining the scores:

AXE's "America's Best and Worst Cities for the Dating Game" study was conducted using 24 distinct criteria including, among others: population density, percentage of singles, frequency of hooking up, dating venues such as coffee shops, bars, and intimate apparel stores and flowers and jewelry bought as gifts.

The study is based on the most currently available figures from the Census Bureau (population characteristics and statistics), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (frequency of sexual partners), Match.com (online daters), and criteria from leading relationship experts who weighed categories in terms of dating importance.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Pittsburgh is a blast. I speakfirst hand. It does have alot of old people and it isnt very diverse. I dont care about any of that. It has my demographic. It also has a good amount of them. Pitt has 40000 students plus 4 other college or universities are located here. The survey was terrible. Probably run by some AFC and female AFC's who never went out anywhere.
Speaking as a young professional, who makes decent money, I moved back to Pittsburgh last summer and I agree with its very low ranking. Pittsburgh sucks for dating. I lived in Tallahassee prior to moving here. As small as Tallahassee is its a much easier town for dating quality women and hooking up ther is simplicity itself. With over 50,000 students I'm surprised to not see Tallahssee on the list.

Foggy Goggle in Back Bay is another good underage bar.
Where are these underaged girls at Avalon? Axis?

One club i did like a lot was La Boom, ever been there.

The best place to go in Boston area by far is Waterworks at Marina Bay. That's in Quincy. I gotta actually check and see if it opened this season.

Avalon and Axis get the Wellesley girls. Of course, to gain access to them, you have to actually go to one of those clubs on a non-concert night, and that can be dreadful.

And I have been to La Boom, though not for a couple of years. The hockey team had a party there and since I roomed with two of them, I honored the invitation. Details from the night, however, are rather sketchy, as I drank more than my share.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Haha their rating system is crap.

They assume that just because a city has a lot of 18-24 year olds and sells a lot of liquor that it's a good place for dating. :rolleyes:

There is no way Chicago deserves that low of a rating, unless somehow they separate all the tourists from the regular girls who live there. Even so, I have always had a blast in Chicago and meeting girls seemed easier there than alot of other places since there is so much to do.

in the 'burgh, I think it depends on whether you're looking for an LTR or not. I know very few single professionals (lawyers, specifically) as they all seem to latch onto someone in college, professional school or otherwise. Plus, no one moves here unless they're originally from here or married to someone who is.

BOOOOO! HISSSS!!!!!!!

I really fukking HATE posts like these. They do nothing except give AFCs excuses for being losers. "Oh it's not my fault! I live in Kentucky City!"

:rolleyes:

Gimme a break. I have traveled all over the states and there is pvssy everywhere, ripe for the picking! A true DJ can thrive in any environment.

But go ahead, keep on making excuses to chump out, you little dweebs. Less competition for us real men!
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.
