"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

What does this mean? Why am I not being taken seriously?

Alright then he is just an ******* and you should avoid him as people who intentionally create conflict are bad for your mental health.
 

"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.

hahaha this guy is slick

ask him out, stop being a puss, i think there are bigger issues that stem from hours and hours of conversations you've had together

so i would say, you should know what to do best... and, you're not going to change him. so either live with it, or stop talking to him altogether because you're not going to get what you want

he must have read the DJ bible.

he's pushing and pulling.

even if he didn't mean to do it, this confusion you have is getting to you and is seperating him from the "norm"

he's made a place for himself in your heart/head and has the potential to do whatever he wants with you... so long as he asks

what issues are you referring to?

Exactly he has to ask it's my rule.

This is why and what I told him-

The major one is that you will be to hard to entertain and you will complain about what I ask you to do. Where as me I never make a big deal about what we do right? I always have fun. You I feel like would be more picky.

Him-
sounds like a lot of bull**** and hollow assumptions to me... as usual

usually when I spend time with my friends we don't do anything.. but sit around and drink some beers... it's about the conversation more than the activity that's involved...

Me- I don't want to disappoint you and then you get bored.
Besides haven't we had all the possible conversations we can have by now? LOL thanks for that WJH. :)

Him
surely you're kidding... not even close... there's a lot more to the world than things we've talked about...

Me-

Nope I am not bc we always have the same conversations its getting old.

Him-
maybe either I should stop preaching or you should learn... since you're not learning.. I stop preaching.. how about that?

Me- Fine with me.

Him- Deal

Me- Are you working Friday bc I am free to do something that night.
 

"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.

He said he has to work from 3pm to 11pm and says that doesn't count as me asking. He said all I did was ask him if he was working and I told him I implied it and that was as good as he is going to get.

I absolutely hate being put in this position.

And what issues are you talking about?

Who knows? It could be for a million reasons. Everyone's different. But what I do know is that you don't have to deal with this. You can move on, completely ignore him, and stop this manipulation. So do it! Are you that desperate for one man's attention?
 

"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 but he just confuses me when he switches things up. And then what I thought I wanted isn't so clear anymore. Besides I have told him to leave me alone and he doesn't.

Why are you taking this crap? Why is your self-esteem so low? This is what you think you deserve?w

Maybe you should seek therapy so you can deal with your confidence issues.

Ignore him!!! You don't have to respond/call back/pick up his phone calls/etc.

Maybe I do. There's something about him that is just good at convincing me. He did this with his ex too and she did need therapy after him. He's charismatic.

No, let's clear this up, his ex and you both needed therapy before him. He was just the catalyst.

Either enjoy the fact that he's playing you for a fool, and revel in it. Or move on without any clear answers, because you won't get any. Not from us, not from you, and certainly not by sitting at your computer hoping that one day he'll change into prince charming.

He's been successful with his manipulation in the past, and he's not going to change for YOU.

So get over the fact that he's manipulating you and enjoy his charisma, or dump him and find someone who is more on your level (whatever that may be).
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Goddamn it woman...you do NOT ask that man out.

You tell him straight up that it is the MAN'S job to to the asking out and you're only interested in going out with a Man. Tell him if he wants a woman that does the asking he can march right over to the NOW a find him a nice "empowered" womyn who'll fix him right up.

Don't you DARE ask that man out..I'll hunt you down and kick your ass if you do....

LMAO thanks wild. I haven't. I can't bring myself to do it.


But look what he said:

it's not begging unless you ask more than once.... see that's insecurity talking...

a bit of advice - because I want you to be healthy and have good relationships - this type of insecurity turns people off... who's going to want to date you or spend time with you as a friend if you don't even have the initiative to ask if they want to get together w/ you... really think about it for a few mins..


Me- I ask people I just don't ask you.

Him- well we've already concluded that maybe this is because I am one of those human beings that has a penis... you know a male? you're insecurity when dealing with those of the opposite sex... I mean if you can't deal w/ someone of the opposite sex as a friend, then how do you plan on ever having a romantic relationship with one?


This is kind of romantic.

It's storming here so I told him I hate storms bc they scare me and he said this:

there's only about two things in the world I like better than sitting on a screened porch at night w/ the lights out during a thunderstorm... hear the rain pouring down on a tin roof and see the sky light up when the lightning flashes, a strong fresh breeze in your face... lovely...

Then I said I love falling asleep to the rain or standing it but for me the lightening is too predictable so he said this:

well i am not a big fan of standing out in the yard holding a lightning rod in that kind of weather... but I do think it's beautiful... nice to watched from a screened in porch..

And I called it nature's own passion.

It seems pretty simple to me. The guy sees you as a girl he could fvck, and that's about it. He doesn't put any effort into "winning" you because he just doesn't care that much. He "annoys" you because you both act like children, I mean look at these discussions you have with him, what do you expect? He entertains the possibility of hooking up with you (with minimal effort on his part) but he isn't desperate so he just enjoys toying with you as long as you keep thinking he's going to chase you.

Dreamychick...this guy is trying to play you. Players are a dime a dozen. Unless you want to be used for a piece of ass and then tossed aside then ignore this guy.

He's attempting to use NLP type crap on you...and he's not very good at it, either...it's blatantly obvious to me that's what he's up to.

Turn this sh*t around on him...

1. Do not call him
2. Do not email him
3. Do not message him
4. If he wants to see you, you are busy
5. If he calls, you can't talk
6. If he emails you...you don't reply for 24 hours and then keep it short and to the point.
7. Take away ALL attention
8. If you see him around, give ALL your attention to the least attractive guy present (don't lead that guy on, though)
9. Date as many other men as you can fit into your schedule.

This guy is trying to make you feel insecure in yourself. Don't let him. The best way to deal with a player is to know when you're dealing with one and beating them at their own game. He'll either find some other girl's emotions to screw with or he'll fall for you hard because you're more of a challenge than he bargained for.

Sounds about right but what does NLP stand for?
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
