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.
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.
That is absolutely not what it's about. I don't know why you insist on thinking that there aren't some women out there who are very dangerous. Your remark about you potentially being NPD I guess could explain it.Honestly, mate. What would you rate this?
I'd say maybe 4.
You can do a lot better than that. And if you can't, then you need to start working on that ASAP.
Don't listen to the "bpd, npd, etc" bell-ends. That is about making you into a victim.
I have been out with a bpd, and I probably am npd myself.
I would seriously take that girl out for a drink, and thank her for how it moved me forward.
You needed a kick up the arse, and this hag gave you it.
I'd slap this chick if she acted up lol... and by how you describe her actions, I'm sure she's been hit by dudes plenty of times lolOkay......
Let me know......
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.
Just because you're over it doesn't mean you can't help others who have not encountered it or are in the middle of it. A "no phone in the other room" rule that OP experienced is clearly hoovering around that fine line of crazy and normal pain in the ass woman. It certainly doesn't hurt for him to do some research into what cluster B is.lol
Well, she isn't obese. So she is probably objectively a 3 or 4.
...But, a HB she is certainly not. Wouldn't pique my radar, other than for her unique fashion choices.
That is why you rarely see me moaning about bpd's on here. I'm well over it.
And, I'm telling the OP not to lower himself to mollycoddling either. Otherwise, he'll be just another guy complaining about the same plate over and over in a circle jerk.
Not defending her behavior at all, simply letting OP know that he actively enabled it and allowed it to continue unabated. This is just how women work. It's what they do. The sooner OP realizes it and how to extricate himself from these situations at the beginning the better off he will be. Otherwise he will be posting the same thing again within a year.So my question is let's say this wh0re who has f*cked up OP meets you in a bar tomorrow night. You start banging her on the regular and eventually the two of you are in a relationship. You are in control of yourself and don't budge one inch with any of her demands or sh*tty behavior so she in turn stays in check and is overall pleasant to be around. Does that EXCUSE her baiting OP up the cliff to only then throw him off all the while laughing with her girlfriends?
I've never disagreed that men need to get their sh*t together and start acting like men again, but don't defend sociopathic behavior and solely blame it on OP turning into a chump being what caused it. Just because your alpha demeanor kept her in check doesn't mean she's not a scumbag now. In fact, blaming their behavior on men not being able to man up is just as damaging as the beta men who put up with it and keep trying to return for seconds, thirds, fourths, etc. People are responsible for their own behavior and women who actively enjoy hurting men are psychologically sick and should be avoided at all cost regardless of whether or not you think you can hold a strong frame with her. THAT is how we change their behavior.
Banging some scumbag wh0re and feeling good about yourself because you're not getting attached and being 'alpha' with her isn't strength.
Deciding you want nothing to do with a PERSON like that and actively ghosting her even if she's blowing up your phone for sex...THAT is strength.
But I do agree with you that it'll be a cold day in hell before even 1% of the American male population adapts this mindset AND actively puts it into action.
Pretty much my thoughts...a 4. Maybe on an exceptional day, a 5, but not higher than that. No idea why you'd put up with BS like that from a chick who LOOKS like that...I could at least sort of understand if the chick was a dime, then you could at least somewhat rationalize it, but her??? Hell no.Honestly, mate. What would you rate this?
I'd say maybe 4.
You can do a lot better than that. And if you can't, then you need to start working on that ASAP.
Don't listen to the "bpd, npd, etc" bell-ends. That is about making you into a victim.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
^^THIS....This is what happens when guys have no options.
They act desperate. They get freaked out because they have no confidence they can go out and replace the easy sex they are getting now. They do whatever the woman asks them too thinking they will get rewarded with more pvssy for being their doormat. All the while the woman continues losing respect for them until one day she becomes disgusted with them and their lack of a backbone and lack of manly qualities that they instinctually need.
Once they becomes disgusted with you it's over. They will treat you like dirt---because they can. They will dump you out of the blue---because they can. Then will set up scenarios to get you to crawl back to them...reward you with her "golden pvssy" that you have so high up on a pedestal you are straining your neck to even see it, and then when you have almost climbed out of the Grand Canyon of despair you are in because you are so afraid to lose them, and you put one hand on the top ledge and she reaches out her hand and says "Give me your hand and I'll pull you up", smiles at you as you are almost all the way out and then lets go of your hand and you fall further down into the Canyon all the way to the bottom again...and she tells her friends and they all laugh at what a little b!tch you are...because they can.
And they can because you've enabled them to.
Wake up.
Again, you're assuming being "alpha" is a one stop shop solution for dealing with sh*tty human beings. Women that he's referring to and what OP encountered shouldn't be given the time of day by any man.^^THIS....
Some of you need to take this post, print it out and hang it on your bedroom wall as a reminder to your manhood...
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.
That has nothing to do with acting "Alpha". It has to do with respecting yourself and not allowing yourself to be treated like trash by other people...man or woman.Again, you're assuming being "alpha" is a one stop shop solution for dealing with sh*tty human beings.

That was my point.That has nothing to do with acting "Alpha". It has to do with respecting yourself and not allowing yourself to be treated like trash by other people...man or woman.
This Alpha/Beta BullCrap so many people are spewing is just getting to ridiculous proportions
