"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.

Hi all,

Im a 19y/o, student, whos been body-building now for just over a year.
Obviously, I'm over-weight; else why else would I make this thread!

I let my last bulk definitely get the best of me, and well, my weight sky-rocketed.

My current stats:
Height - 5'10
Weight - 85kg, about 187 pounds for you Americans.

I'm no newbie to this sort of things, this isn't my first cut by any means, and I do have a solid understanding of nutrition and preserving muscle while losing fat. However I thought it'd be good to post here, regularly, to keep my ass inline.

I'm (estimating purely) maybe 20-24% bf currently, and aiming within the next few months to carve that down to 12 hopefully by end of November.

Here are my current pics, no pump or anything:

"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.

No offense, but you don't have much to carve. If you get down to 12% with your current pics you are just going to look skinny. Bulking and cutting don't exist unless you are taking steroids.

None taken; what would you suggest then? Because I still really need to lose b/f anyways.
