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.
everyone on this world faces some kind of discrimination, or hate crimes, some for being fat, otehr for being hetero, other for being too dumb to notice how they are being manipulated, some just because what he did or said was removed from the context of it and people used it as a hate tool.
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 indifferent to metal singers. I certainly wouldn’t cheer if they are subjected to violence.
That’s a strawman argument. No one is saying be an activist.. just keep your bigotry to yourself don’t act on it in public.
why you can be a bigotry in public and others don't? also you really should stop calling others of what you are is not honest, course honesty is not something you would know
Im indifferent to lgbt people too and not only I wouldnt cheer on violence on them but I would also want the attacker to be jailed.
Among the many things...often those character dont even have a reason to be gay, its just something the producers put for no particular reason.
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.
Hey now, this is 2020. You ALWAYS have to have a transgender Captain that is the smartest and strongest to lead and save the entire crew from obllivian.
I don't know what reality you live in, but there has been a massive shift in public opinion on the matter of gays. I'm old enough to remember when there were fag drags. That hasn't happened for about 20 years now. Most people are fine with gays having rights outside of hardcore christians. Discrimination is probably at an all time low, and you will never get rid of it entirely.
I'm pretty sure a short bald beta looking guy nowadays faces much more bullying and discrimination than any minority.
If that were truly the case, half the posters in this thread wouldn’t be triggered at the sight over an LGBT flag. Those of us who aren’t bigots don’t give a damn when we see that flag. OP made the thread to get validation from other people who don’t like gays.
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 think there's a difference between not liking gay people and not approving of the movement. They should be treated like everyone else. I personally think gay or trans behavior is a perversion. Now that's not the worst thing in the world, I have my own perversions. But I don't fly a flag for them or insist that everyone declare that they are normal. Perversions aren't necessarily healthy. I wouldn't kick somebody's flag over though.
I barely watch Netflix. And if I enjoy a show, I'm not going to turn it off just because one character might be trans or whatever. But I can't help but notice the way they shoehorn these characters into the stories. You're right when you call it overcompensation. What I don't like is when I get the impression I'm being sold somebody's political agenda on diversity.
That at least sounds like a fresh idea. The Walking Dead has become so stale, and with all its spinoffs they're beating it into the ground. It was a cool show at one time. I respect Robert Kirkman for ending the comic book, he told his story and got off. They never really realistically depicted how women would have likely been affected by an apocalypse situation IMO.
The Walking Dead was very inaccurate on how such an apocalypse would affect women. They sure as hell wouldn't be all gun ho part of raids. Even in today's society of "women can do anything a man can do", you only see men out in the driveway fixing cars. This in spite of decades of efforts to get women to act like men.
Pretty sure most of the 'other people' you're referencing don't have a personal problem with gays. And they can speak for themselves. They have a problem with people like you, aka people who think that they're better than everyone else. You're not.
