"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.

So my ex was over last night. I thought it would just be for some hankie-pankie but she started getting into how hard her life is and how she can't pay her bills. bla bla bla. I was happy she finally admitted some of HER mistakes in our relationship which she has never done before.

Next thing I know she is having some sort of attack and said her chest hurt so I called 911. Ambulance came and took her to ER. I followed in my truck.

Stayed there with her for a while. As soon as she became coherent again, as she is laying on the bed in ER, she starts in trying to fight with me AGAIN. I said "for the sake of your health and stress level, I am not responding!". Turns out it appears to be either an anxiety attack or problems with her heart.. I had told her I would pick her up when they released her today or whenever.

I get to work early this morning and she has been on her phone on Facebook posting her usual smack, choosing her words carefully but in a nutshell blaming me for all her stress and having to go to the ER. So I blocked her cell phone with Verizon and Emailed her and told her she would need to find another ride and "learn to live as a single person and not lean on me to do the things I would do if we were still together".

Am I being too harsh??
 

"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.

you are too lenient with her, I would not even talk with her again or care, but if I had to call emergency to her I would let her be on ER and don't care about her

only thing I always will ask you is why are you even talking with her again?

No, you are not being too harsh. You are being too pathetic.

I only speak to my ex via text about picking up the kid. I have zero desire to talk to her. Why are you letting an ex this far into your life?

I believe I recall when you posted thinking about breaking up with this woman and then followed through. You did so for all the right reasons.

The question here is, why is she coming over in the first place? You posted you were under the impression it was for sex, but based on what I recall about your relationship, she's poisonous. Why would you even want sex from this woman? Look at what this ordeal turned into; she's right back to doing what she always does. She won't change.

She is never going to turn into a plate. Going no contact for the rest of your life is not too harsh but it's something you need to be able to follow through on.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

We had been having s3x once a week or so sense the breakup. I texted her last night and just said a simple "How are you recovering?" and she started going b|tchy on me. I guess it's not possible to care about her as a human being but no more. I don't hate this woman, she just isn't a good fit for me. I think you guys are right, though, it's time to cut the ties completely.

Agreed. You listen to her whine about her problems, you got into relationship talk (which should cease once they become an ex), you called her an ambulance, you stayed with her at the hospital.

Then she tries to pick a fight with you.

You did all this nice 5hit for her and then she treats you like garbage. If that was me, I would have walked out of the hospital. Wait, let me rephrase that.... I wouldn't have done ANY of that nice 5hit for her.

She's got a huge red flag because she's an ex. Get rid of her. You can get a shag from an OKCupid girl.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I'd say you did all you could to be an adult about the situation, and you got laid in the process. If she's acting like this after you helped her to the ER then it's time to finally pull the plug and give her the chance to learn from her mistakes.

I have finally cut all ties with her. Blocked her phone. She has been Emailing me and I am ignoring. I was enjoying the post breakup s3x a lot but I do finally realize that the mental drain from dealing with her isn't worth it.

When she moved out of my house I never changed locks, which was dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb on my part. I found out the night before last that she and a friend were plotting to sneak in my house and take some furniature that she had wanted when she moved out but sense it was mine I wouldn't give it to her. The only thing that kept this from happening was she actually got smart and she knows that I have a background from when I was a police Detective and I have strong working knowledge of the legal system, and she never would have got away with it. Smartest thing I think she has done to date. But I will be changing locks and installing some security cameras now.
