Marc Rudov is right, too bad his message will fall on death ears.

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.
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.

I am pissed off that I am single on V-day. :trouble:STR8UP said:Who is glad they are single on V-day? Men are!

Nuff said.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Im afraid that they can, " have their cake and eat it too..." as long as MOST men collude and collaborate in this scam. Women hijacked the double standard eons ago and exploited it to their advantage.dbot said:Sorry feminists, you can't have your cake and eat it too. It's only a matter of time before men stop putting up with the bullshit.
Thanks for the correction, although "Death" ears can also be used since only the dead will actually hear his message and those who are alive will simply act as if they are dead and do nothing. Most men will just sit there in front of the tv with their wives or girlfriends and bash this guy (in order to score points), even though deep down they know he is right.STR8UP said:Sorry to be a stickler, but it's "deaf" ears.
That said, watch the h0's gang up on the voice of reason.....
Women have an entitlement mentality, and the second you call them out they play the "who hurt you so bad that you would be so brave as to not fall into line as the other girly-men" card..
Since most single men are stuck in the AFC mentality, they are misreable.STR8UP said:Who is glad they are single on V-day? Men are!

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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.
Yeah I figured the W0manese (why the fvck is this word censored???) meant that. Initially she was the one hitting on me while I was still in the previous relationship and was very compliant on the 1st & 2nd dates (was cool with me getting my hands everywhere), but she got weird on the 3rd date at my place when I escalated. Ah well, who cares what's going on in that scheming, confused head of women!Mr. Me said:>> she BSed me about just getting out of a relationship & needing to slow it down >>
Which is womenspeak for "Hey, buddy, you're moving on me way too fast, and to be honest, I'm not that into you."
When a woman says "Slow it down" that's usally menas the end is near.
If she was way into you, she'd be hoping you'd rush things.
Jeffst1980 said:The problem with Marc Rudov is that he lacks the charisma to really effectively get his points across...especially in situations that are clear set-ups, like this one. He comes off as an angry, bitter dude that is absolutely no fun to be around. However, if you had someone with a charming personality up there that built some rapport first and thus approached the argument in a more effective manner, I'm sure the women would concede that Valentine's Day has gotten way too commercial and that it would be a better idea to set the phony chivalry aside and just spent quality time together.

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.
