"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.

Assuming that you want to marry a girl either soon or in the future, what are your requirements or "must have" in order to finally go for it, if any?

She's rich?
She's super beautiful?
Both?
Love :D
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Must cook food.
Must clean house.
Must be trustworthy and loyal (not a slut who bangs the mailman or trash guy when you are not at home or gives a oral to her boss at work).


My additional requirement:
Must have a college (bachelor's) degree.

Top form SMV 18-23, thin, young, hawtttt as ****kkkk 15/10.

No ambiguity or anything cucky, weird, no deceit or lying followed by complete reform of divorce law, child custody, and the abolishment of feminism.

Even then, no marriage affiliated by the state.
 

"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.

Okay I know this is an analogy question but for me the reality I would not get married with how the laws are so unfair to men. You're pretty much a slave after you sign the contract. The reasons you cited would be good for a Disney movie but this is reality. You have a better chance of winning the lottery meaning money than having a successful marriage. Now for me never married and no kids and my parents have been married for almost 50 years. So you would think I would side with marriage but I'm not. I've seen my dad been emasculated at some points and not even notice and the haze married men are in.

I want:

1. A Friend
2. A team player
3. Someone who communicates (and i can communicate too)
4. Someone who shares my dreams, goal, passions
5. A complimentary partner (someone who can do stuff i cant: like cook.. Or will be strong where i am weak and vice versa) to grow together

These 5 éléments are key, added she is physically attractive and keep in shape and has a Brain with a sense of humour
 

"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.

She's rich
She's beautiful
She's demure
She f*cks like a champ all the time, even when she doesn't want to
She never, ever nags
She's loyal to a fault
She has no orbiters
She lets the man lead

All of these are mission critical for marriage to succeed. If you are missing any of these, abort and eject.
 

"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.

Likes traditional gender roles and doesn't find anything toxic about me being a man and her being a woman.

Not getting married so no list. I live in a world of absolutes. I don't ever think about what if was like this because I know those women are few and far between.
