Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"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.

I am not on anyone's side. That is really immature.ketostix said:Iqqi, who side are you on? Hmm, thinks back to iqqi's condescending posts in the "Love Shack fiasco". Then a poster "Iqqi", goes over and posts on LS, with the same defiant, condescending attitude. Hmm, that's a tough one!
I am just keeping it real.
I hope noone got offended, but then again I'm not going to sugarcoat it, why would you want me to.
Interceptor, sorry I offended you, but sometimes you DO come across as kind of phony when you start off saying one thing, but then you get into something else altogether, it does kind of seem like you are trying to pull a fast one, and while that approach works well with a lot of people, and with others it just doesn't fly.

GET NEW BATTERIES!!I just have a very good BS detector. And you may have fooled reset and other nice people on here, but you don't fool me for one second.
IT AINT WORKING, Darling
Geez.....
I can't believe I'm reading this.
Cheers, I'm a laff riot.HOMBRE said:Why would I do that?
Oh and I laughed at your comment earlier but neglected to acknowledge it. At least someone around here has a sense of humor!
Seems you and the She-Shackers, like a lot of women, have the same handy bag of demeaning and emasculating put-downs. 'Little Boy,' 'Virgins,' 'Sad,' 'Boring' 'Hopeless' and as was discussed at length at LS 'Creepy.' We know these shaming tactics and they're not the Kryptonite they might be to lesser men.

"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.
HOW DOES THIS THREAD HELP ANYBODY TO GET CHICKS OR TO GROW AS MEN?
All I see is a bunch of nerds trying to see who has the biggest E-Penis.
It seems that the ladies from Loveshack seem to have a bigger penis than the nerds from sosuave. I didn't expect some of the members on here to actually join into this childish game.
You mean you'd frantically press your 'alert us' buttons and your pet Mods would silence us?HOMBRE said::crackup: :crackup: :crackup: In your dreams, sweetie. Wow, this is a trip...too funny. No wonder some of you didn't last on LS. We'd chew you up and spit you out! ahaha
You're getting played dude, she's trying to turn you dudes against me. I'm really, really hurt and threatened by it. Maybe she thinks I'm more receptive and is appealing to my ego.ketostix said:I had a lot of hope for you Reset, but this ended all that hope :woo: .
Not working. If you can't see through that, don't know what to say.
"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.

Yup, she's toast. I'm putting it on ignore as well. Adios b!tch.Latinoman said:Hombre ignored me (see post #68 )
Good for her as I owned her too.
Yeah LOL they want a play ball with one-sided referees and everytime they lose a play they yell foul to their refs..Nighthawk said:You mean you'd frantically press your 'alert us' buttons and your pet Mods would silence us?

Iqqi, maybe youre under the assumption that Im a journalist intentionally trying to reach a mass audience.
And that I spend days planning every reply. I dont
So sue me...
Im not here to live up to anyone's expectations, especially of what some stranger thinks I SHOULD be posting, or what my 'style' SHOULD be.
It's delusional.
It also seems strange that YOU and Touche are the ONLY ones who have ever brought this up, despite dozens upon dozens of PMs saying the contrary.
It is also strange that you two would actually called what is known to educated people as Class and MANNERS as 'sugarcoating'.
Who taught you people?
I mean ..really...c'mon...
"pull a fast one" because I change subjects??
So I go off on a tangent, which happens to me sometimes, and I'm phony??
LOL
This is amusing in a way..
Jeez...
Good night.

"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.

Not working. If you can't see through that, don't know what to say.
I'm just messing with you. She actually trying to play you and get you on her side and turn you against us. I see that you realize she's up to playing someone. I knew this all along. This female tactic is so common and old hat :yawn: .
Beware of the fake pic. That's not too bad, you can almost see up her dress some. But they're going to have to do better than that.Nighthawk said:All the ladies of Loveshack are putting up their pics for us. Here's Kamille - be quick

ahaha, very funny! yeah, ok.
Anyway, bye guys. I'm bored with this nonsense. Hope you all continue to "grow" (What is it that's growing anyway? )
Ya'll are a trip. And don't forget bros before hoe's, right!:crackup:
You can go back to your little circle jerk now.
Wow, Nighthawk, you're Kryptonite? We have a member with that name. Interesting. Anyway, I've never called any of our fine male members any of those names.
Get new BATTERIES? LMAO! Too funny...actually mine run on solar power and I live in a very sunny place...ahahah
You guys are hysterical, seriously.
Hate on me all you want if it makes you feel better. It doesn't bother me. This will be fun to share with my buddies later on. So flame away, dears! It doesn't reflect that well on you but so be it...since many of you can't get a date, I hope this at least makes you feel better.
But again, some of you seem ok.
Iqqi, you're not going to let these "macho" men tell you what to do are you? You do have your own mind don't you?
I knew that I'd be hated on here because I see through the game and all the nonsense. But that's ok. I expected this.
I'm not one to suck up to you like some of the few women who probably come on here. They've obviously got huge, huge issues of their own to want to stick around here for too long. Iqqi, not sure how long you've been here but it's toxic. You shouldn't stay. RUN! Come back to LS..:crackup:
I think you'd be very well-received over there.
Is that what it was? Could be. Either way she's playing us off each other and I've been here way too long and known you guys too long to bite.ketostix said:I'm just messing with you.

"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.
