"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.

I have been having something happen to me over the last little while that I have never done before.

Lately I have been flaking on women. All my previous AFC life I have sometimes gotten dates and sometimes gotten flaked by women.

Lately I find myself flaking on women. It's totally not like me to do this kind of stuff and I can't figure it out.

After all aren't we men supposed to cherish any female attention that women throw our way? :)

These days when I meet a women and talk with them I find a lot of them to be either boring or really caught up in themselves or too masculine. I tend to keep away from those kind and flake on them if they ask me out.

Can anyone else relate to doing this? I am not bragging here that I have so many women chasing me that I have to beat them off with a stick. I just want to understand these new thoughts and feelings I am having towards women and myself. Anyone else here find some of todays women to be unfeminine?
 

"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.

Maybe you're looking for the right one to settle with?

I might know what you talking about.
The reason why I flake though is because i'm sort of paying back the women that flaked on me in the past. By flaking on these women. Makes me more of a man I guess.. Not very wise though
Not sure if its the same reason for you though. Only you would know that...

Wherever I am.
Zapras is on point. Your ego is wounded from past flakes and you are just building it up and giving yourself the power by being the flaker instead of the flakee. It's a revenge powertrip and it's not the most mature thing in the world to do, but we've all done it.

Eventually you will get past this phase and know exactly why you are recoiling, instead of flaking for flake's sake.

i flake on girls too, but i always have 2-4 girlfriends that i am seeing, thus flaking on new girls when i just dont feel like seeing them, or when i feel like fcuking one of my gf's

if YOU are flaking and still remain a virgin, then go seek help
 

"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.

I have sat with my thoughts on this and part of me has some anger towards women. I hate to admit it but I am probably flaking for the wrong reasons.

God I just want to be a normal person and not have to deal with all of these emotions all of the time.

There is some residual anger towards women in my past always having the power in any relationship.

She is the one that made the coffee date with me, she picked the time and the place. I guess inside I resent her being in control and making the move. I see her as too demanding. I'm feeling a little emasculated by the whole thing.

That's why porn is so popular. Makes men feel like men because there is no challenge to authority and she is ready and willing all the time.

I used to flake but then I realized that every situation is a CONDITONING experience and that's how you get good with women. Even if you don't like her, she might have a hot friend for you.
