"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
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.
"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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

"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.
