Give me a list of the pros and cons of following my ex gf on Instagram.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
What are the pros and cons of this.
- Thread starter narcissist
- Start date
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.

Other than that you get attention here through this stupid post, nothing else. And this is a con.

Don't you mean you ripped him? :crackup:Deadly_Ripped said:
"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.
He is narcissist.... Of course he would make a thread like this...
There is no pros here.. Only cons. She's an ex for a reason. Why do you care what she's doing?
I am betting she dumped him and he is not over it yet. Can't see any other reason to orbit her instagram for any logical reason.

I once went off on a tangent on my ex about the complications that girls with daddy issues tend to bring into relationships. Having daddy issues herself, she took great offense to what I said and later angrily told me to jump on google and look into the "pros of girls with daddy issues". Yes, that seriously happened and I hope that answers your question OP.
In 1991 I had a Mazda RX-7 convertible. It was a cool car. Rotax motor, leather interior, cool stereo with speakers in the head rests, etc. etc. I had a lot of fun in that car, and a lot of good memories.
Many cars have come and gone since then, but the memories in that little car were fun.
Based on where I am today, and what I drive now, I have no desire to see, sit in, or drive that little RX-7.
Just a thought.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Not a troll thread - I seen your post in the NC thread. Don't do it buddy - not yet at least.
And I can almost guarantee your ex is going to start knocking on your door to see if you're still the little b!tch you most likely went out as...
...and you are not.
Time to amp up your game and insouciance. Play this right and she will see you in a new light and be yours when you want her as long as your in the right mentality. If you're not - continue your no contact
Went through the exact circumstances from start to finish that you have in regards to your "sosuave story" and transformation into the man you are today. Now my bombshell 6-year ex who drove me to sosuave and borderline beta insanity is my little slvt once or twice a month on demand while she knows i'm banging other chicks. I have no interest in pursuing anything further with her. The odds are in your favor to put that little thought to rest in the back of your head IF and only IF you are able to put the past in the past and start off establishing a new frame while remaining outcome independent.
PM me if you'd like some further advice either way...

You gone NC. Keep it that way. Following her on IG will just make you depressed when you see her having a good time with other dudes. She don't give a crap about you so why should you? Forget her and move forward with your life .
