"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Earlier today, while scanning through channels while I had my dinner, I had an epiphany. I realized with a flash of blinding insight not only why, but how the AFC came to be.

In the 1700-1800's, the "gentleman caller" was expected by society to state his intentions for the female he intended to court. Oftentimes he would begin courting her against her will - usually by coming to the house with offers of flowers and other gifts hoping to win her favor. This would continue by him creating sonnets and poems expressing his feelings for her, as well as the man telling all who would hear about his undying love for the apple of his eye. It is my firm belief that AFC tendancies are a holdover from that age...
 

"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.

Hrrm... i take it that everyone has watched X-Men the Movie... WHen you hear the beggingi it goes on about every so few millenia the body changes and we become mutated or something. Maybe the AFC was some sort of recessive gene that one person go and he or she (u never know it looks more of a female oriented thing) started preaching this new and wierd way to woo women...

and from then on it kept on being passed and passed and i have no idea what im saying :rolleyes:

who knows where it came from
that's not our problem... it up2 us all to stop it from spreading any further into the next generations! :D

Yeah but it was acceptable practice.
 

"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.

It all strarted with Adam first symp and AFC happened to be first man.

No lie...I think the Story of Adam and Eve was more about women not being trustworthy and all the negatives they bring rather than disobeying god.

I think the Church just flipped over time cuz it didn't macth there values.

OK here's a totally irrelevent joke.

Adam and God are talking in the garden of eden.

God: Hey, Adam, my man. You're looking a little down.

Adam: Aww, Dad it's just that, well the animals and the trees and the air are great n all...I just get really lonely sometimes.

God: Say no more, my son. I will create for you the ultimate companion. One so fair and beautiful, so entrancing in behaviour and so helpful in attitude that you will never be wanting again.

Adam: Gee Dad that kinda sounds expensive, you know. What do I get for a rib?

AFC = everything that my mother taught me about treating women, so maybe everyone starts AFC from the womb, and has to work their way from there....
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

First of all, this courtship was only used for marriage intentions. For a quick fvck there were other methods.

While AFC, it is highly advantageous for the society!

Back in the 1800s there wasn't a 50% divorce rate. And the only responsibility of those "AFCs" was to educate their kids, thus enriching the nation...

Nowadays, the kids are left for themselves... making for a nation of retards.
