"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.
What a fvcking shame
- Thread starter Burroughs
- Start date
"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.

Wow, this should make it to the list of required reading. Even if it's just a picture. Young guys rarely realise how bad women can age. This is just too awful!

Dear Burroughs,
C'mon Mate,a night with her and a green apple would finish you off LOL!

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.

Hey now! She might could get a role in some sort of lowly porno.

"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.

Even in her good pics, she looks like a big girl...look at those massive thighs. Women of her type always become fat as they age.
I lol'd. The other night I went out with a few friends from my alma mater, all of whom are feminists and blue pill recipients (I was too when I was with them in school). We got on the topic of "people who blew up and got fat". I mentioned the importance of women staying in shape post marriage and got a chorus of "Oh wow, how shallow. It's what's on the INSIDE that counts. Wow, what happened to you?!?!Greasy Pig said:
I just replied, "Fat women just aren't attractive to me, I can't help it". The looks on their faces were priceless. It was awesome.
she's not old yet, she got FAT, and when/if she loses the fat, there will be wrinkles. I've had quite a few women in their 40;s, a few in their 50;s who were still perfectly lovely. But they kept themselves fit all their lives. that fat, dudes, that's an insult to their men.
There's something very wrong about the way women get fat these days. Now their getting fat alone is a criminal offence against humanity, but they also become masculine too. They seem to gain fat in places where a fat bloke would, and their faces start to look like The Rock's.zekko said:
"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.

I'd like to vote this thread as the single best I have seen on SS.
The educational benefit of these pics, for a guy with self respect, is priceless.

Worst case of Too-Hotness disease I've seen in a long time. What is TH disease you ask? It's a disease that infects women that are too hot to have any motivation to workout or eat right. Too-Hotness disease usually progresses slowly with the woman at first just putting on a few pounds and because she's still attractive to most guys, does nothing about it. The diseased will keep their ego safe and keep denying their symptoms until it is too late.
If you know someone who suffers from Too-Hotness disease, do not feed their ego. In fact do not feed them anything and tell them to get their fat a$$ through a gym door.

Good job. That deserves a rep if I've ever seen it.origin138 said:
"Inside that counts" Pffft, how the hell are you meant to get to the inside if you can't even make it past the outside. Lefty feel good logic always makes me scratch my head, you should have said. "I'm glad you said that because there's a homeless guy I've made friends with, a few missing teeth and a gammy leg but he really does have a heart of gold, you willing to give it a shot?"

I've done that too, and received the same reaction. It's alright to have a fat wife as long as it is someone else's and not yours.
It's like telling your friend it's perfectly fine and dandy to drive his beat up 1986 Corolla while you have a new Lexus. After all, it just gets you from point A to point B, right? LOL
People seldom embrace the truth.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
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.
