One of my best friends, is suddenly becoming a pimp, and Im too proud and competitive to feel good for him. What should I do???
Thanks!
Thanks!
"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.
What to do if your best friend is getting more chicks

"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.

I'll confess I tend to have this mindset as well. Not with the best friend business, but just with anyone. I tend to think that all women should be aspiring to be with me 
Anyway, when someone comes in and draws more female attention than I do it seriously p!sses me off. Part of this is natural male competitiveness, part of it is just evil and envy.
But like stonetowers says, do your own thing. There are plenty of women to go around for everybody. Well, pretty much almost everybody.

That's what we call jealousy. It's perfectly natural. Get over it.
"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.

YOU LEARN FROM HIM!!!
(ridiculous)
Hey this happens to me too. And i must confess sometimes its overpowering. But yeah, you must realise that he is your friend. Smile and do your thing. I have a very good friend who gets nearly two times the chicks that i get. But the catch is, they range from HB5 to HB8 and lol, thats where my range starts. I go for chicks only above HB8. So i guess it all depends on knowing what you aim for and how much effort you put in it. Bottomline: be detached. Do your thing.zekko said:I'll confess I tend to have this mindset as well.

With that attitude, you will always be a bottom-feeder, and play second banana to your friend, and to more skilled guys than you. Yet, the solution is in your environment.lokariototal said:
What's wrong with you. Go find out what he's doing and learn his newly found mad skillz!!!! Most of us here don't have friends who are very good at this game. You have a great opportunity to cut your learning process, so Don't Hate, Emulate!
"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.

Well, honestly, I wasn't even talking about a friend. What I had in mind specifically in this case is this new dude at work. It's very clear the HB8s and above are very attracted to this guy, he forms very close relationships with them, and they are always off whispering with him and whatnot. I'm not sure what it is that he's doing other than he manages to form very strong connections with them.kokane said:
This really shouldn't bother me because I'm in a LTR, and very happily so. But this guy is also in a LTR (although he is clearly cheating on her). In any case, it irritates me that he gets all this attention from the hottest women. I think part of it may be that he is willing to cheat (whereas I am not) so he is sending these signals to them that he will get busy with them.
And the other thing is he is closer to their age - you might note I'm starting to get up there in years now, so that helps him connect with them. I guess the age thing is starting to p!ss me off, and that's part of it. Because I've only recently started to get the feeling that I'm actually getting old enough now that it's becoming a disadvantage for me, whereas I've never felt that before.
