In all fairness the men seemed to be about 50% or more reasonable, it was a minority of men and all the women that started shrieking like harpies.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
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.
Nice post!!mr_elor said:
Welcome to the onslaught BladeSteel.Mr.Positive said:Nice post!!
FYI... There's already a Mr.Positive, and a Mr.P, over on loveshack. One seems to lack intelligence, and the other's a major chump.
So I signed up as BladeSteel.
That could work. You could even say that you are the woman who received it and that your boyfriend is upset about it. AAAACKKK!!! Now you guys are drawing me into the madness!!!:crazy:Bible_Belt said:They might like this one, too:

Let the record show I made an attempt to inject some much needed sanity to this effort before people dived in. It is in all likelihood a fools errand, and of course you cannot teach those unwilling to learn, but who's doing the learning here, LS members or SS members?WesCottII said:And look at yourselves, grown men planning "assualts" on another online forum. It's like the sharks Vs. The Jets (perhaps less gay...) Have you honestly nothing more productive to do with your time?
I'm all for helping others, but 1) They don't want it and 2) We've got enough guys that need help here.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Hell YES! :yes:KarmaSutra said:Victory, THIS is why I and other brothers must at least TRY to help.
Standing from the sidelines doesn't do a goddamned thing.
Neither does: "I told you so."
And Hell YES-----AGAIN!mr_elor said:Yep, for me it's paying back a debt of gratitude.
I was saved by one guy, posting a link to here. Now I might have been the only guy he saved (he got a lot of **** over there for posting it), but imagine the good that's come from saving just me.
My friends are better, and enjoy my company more.
Girls get the honour of meeting this awesome me, enriching their lives.
I will save a few guys I know along the way who can carry this all on.
Again, if I save just one poor guy, it'll been worth it.
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.
Yes, I am THE :cheer: "Notable Exception":cheer:Rollo Tomassi said:What amazes me is looking at the post counts of a LOT of the members who are the quickest responders. Sweet Mother Mary, they must average 8,000 posts! With the notable exception of FRANCISCO, most members here don't post even half as much. When do they find time to do anything else?.
brag brag, while you can ...:crazy:Francisco d'Anconia said:Yes, I am THE :cheer: "Notable Exception":cheer:
I believe the plural of the possesive form of guy is guys'. Anyway this is the biggest crock of sh1t iqqi. I went over to LS and read and posted some and so far I haven't seen anyone flame bait there as bad as you do here. I was actually just thinking about that. I was expecting people to be really bad over there an so far I haven't seen anything that holds a candle to what you do on here.iqqi said:If you think Rogue and Woogle and others aren't also sosuave members, there is a chance you are deluded. I bet a few sosuavers lead double forum lives.
As far as me posting over there, the main difference would be that I wouldn't be flamed every time I said something because there are tons of more women over there, so they aren't as "threatening". Other than that, my advice would echo much of your guyses, without the "wow iqqi said something smart" follow ups. Haha. I said Guyses. Is there a correct way to spell that?
Oh, I am not over there because I don't have love shacky issues. I like it here. I like MEN.
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.
i actually used to visit over there, but it was very boring there.ketostix said:I was just wondering when someone from here would go over there and post counter to the prevailing wisdom there as a woman to throw off suspicion. You know, kind of how we ocassionally have women posting as men here.
Yeah penkitten could do that and she wouldn't even be pretending to be a woman lol.
:cuss:I look again and the thread was deleted and my account banned.
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.
