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.
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.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
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.
My dad is 51 and all my girlfriends/friends who are girls always think he is hot. He is in good shape, he lifts weights and runs three or four times a week. He still has almost all of his hair as well. He has a decent job, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.joekerr31 said:can i be honest?
do you guys in your 50s really find a lot of 19 year olds are 'in' to you? or is it just that they are friendly and you take this to mean they are in to you?
i mean, are you meeting these women at work or at a strip bar? in both scenarios women will be tempted to flirt with you due to the environment.
unless you look like pierce brosnan or have the potential to be a sugar daddy, i just can't imagine an attractive 19 year old taking an interest in a 50 year old + man.
i dont mean to be rude, its just that most 19 year old would be "like, ewww, he's like oh my gawsh, like my dad like."
anyway, share your insights. it will be sweet if when im 50 i can look forward to scoring some 19 year old *ss now and then![]()
Ha ha , gotcha kiddo !MikeYikes122 said:That said, I could never see any of them actually having any sort of a sexual relationship with my dad.
>>>> Why not ? he knows more that you and has more sexual experience than you and has more maturity, commonsense, coolness and money - so tell me again, why do you think that chicks would NOT be interested in him over you ?
You're probably right. My dad could probably take any girlfriend from me if he wanted to. I have a feeling he had some game back in the day.jophil28 said:Ha ha , gotcha kiddo !
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.
Bull$hit. At 57 a 40 year old could easily be your daughter. You're gonna tell me that you wouldn't fukk a 40 yr old? Yea, that's pretty disfunctional.ducaro said:If she is young enough to be your daughter.. then I think its pretty crap and dysfunctional for you to be ploughing her.:trouble:
That's completely different from what you said the first time. Dating someone that's young enough to be your daughter is a far cry from actually dating your daughter.ducaro said:I am just a lil concerned that slowly people will start to say that its ok to 'date' your daughter - do you see what I am trying to get at?? (they are even capable of justifying that by saying we are animals after all)
STR8UP said:Fact is, anything someone claims that goes against nature is purely opinion based upon what their interpretation of what society deems appropriate.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
