"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.

A lot of women I hear refuse to date men that meet men, give them their number, the guy calls her...makes plans, and flakes.

He calls back 6 months later, pretending nothing ever happened...as if their conversation took place a few days ago.

I am guessing these are the games that men play with women?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

They refuse to date men who don't show up?

I'm pretty sure girls don't give out their number and pine for 6 months for a man to call.

So, no, these are not the games that men play with women.

ThisNThat.......I've been onto you from the start. You are a female posing as a male.
You ask way too many questions trying to gain insight into the male mind. In the one above its almost like you slipped and forgot to pretend you were a male with what I highlighted above.

A guy being concerned about the games men play with women is very odd.

Men rarely flake on dates.

At worst, a guy might get a number and not call her. He got busy or cold feet. Then he might call much later. I agree that it's weird to get a number, go ghost, and call her eight weeks later like it was yesterday lol.

It's more common than you think.
 

"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.

I always thought that ThisNThat was a little bit autistic or had some kind of mental handicap lmao. I guess I was wrong. Probably is a woman now that I think about it.
