"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.

Top 10 reasons why Guys (and Girls) get dumped.

http://shine.yahoo.com/love-sex/top-10-reasons-why-were-dumped-200900432.html


I love that "Bad hygiene" is the #2 reason that men dump girls. I'm trying to figure out what that REALLY means....Stinky vag? She gave him chlamydia?

Oh, and the #1 reason that girls dump guys?

::drum roll::

Ah, f**k it, you guys already know - "There's someone else."

Women are some branch-swinging little monkeys aren't they...
 

"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.

Ah yes, there's someone else.

It should be the easiest one to swallow, but they usually never admit that's the reason.

Even when we know that's the reason we still know we weren't perfect so we question what we might have done differently.

Too hairy. :D

I don't care for the reasons I am dumped, if I am dumped, then I am dumped. I swallow that bitter pill and soldier on with life.

"There's someone else."

well duh, what decent looking girl is ever single for more than a couple months tops, none!

so they are either falling in love insanely easily OR they are branch swinging.

Love is the opium of the mind. It doesn't exist which is why people waste their lives chasing after it.

Those who chase the concept of love are insecure people who deserve nothing but the scruff of loneliness until their dying day.
 

"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.

Love definitely exists. It's not what people think though. It's just a glimpse of forever, it doesn't last forever.

We still seek it regardless, so we are likely to find it even if we don't know exactly what it is.

All very good reasons to dump someone. Congrats ladies, you truly are logical creatures.

Interesting... "Nice" isn't on there. Probably cause its not a reason. Just taken out of context. "You're a nice guy, but [real reason they don't give]". Guess you can't blame the guys for thinking its BECAUSE you're nice - when they don't give you **** else.

wth does "too short" mean? did they shrink during the relationship? did they go from being 5'10" to 5'5" in 2 months or something? i thought height was a deal breaker in the beginning, not in the middle of a fvcking relationship.

It sounds like one of those dumb things girls say after the fact. Like, there were 20 reasons why the relationship didn't work, but all she can blurt out is "He was too damn short."
 

"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.

The reason "nice" isn't on this list is because the whole "nice" thing is completely overstated by the pickup community.

For some reason, PUAs seem to think every man's problem with women is that he's too nice. When in reality there are a lot of different reasons guys have trouble with women.

You go through all this trouble turning yourself into a jerk, when maybe all you really need to do is take a bath.

"Nice" is a term women use to encompass an array of reasons why a man is not appealing and consequently desexualized. The PUA community overemphasizes the focus women place on "nice guys." In other words, although most of the time the term refers to a male not qualified to fulfill the logical and subconscious desires of a female, sometimes it may also genuinely signify a quality rather than a negative trait.

Don't go into mechanical mode and always have the same reaction to the term "nice"--take the tone, body language of the speaker, and the context of the conversation into consideration before making an inference. And if all else fails you can always ask "what did you mean by that?" If you get the nice guy speech tied to something negative, then you know what that means. If she gives you positive traits and associates them with the term nice, then you are gold.

Keep being money,

-Rob
