"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

Try:

"You say that like it's a bad thing."
Or,
"Are you dumping me?"

But I have a hunch the best response would be no response, a show of indifference.
 

"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.

Whatever you say, the key is to realise that it's projection, and nothing irritates her more than 1- it doesn't affect you and 2- you know it's actually about her.

I'd simply ask back: "Does that bother you? Dying single and lonely?"
Agree. Flipping it around and making her defensive is always fun. :yes:

Another variation is the old: "Are you trying to convince me or yourself?"

Oh this is beauuuuuutiful.

I remember the last time a girl dropped this one on me. I actually laughed in her face. The prospect doesn't scare me one bit, never has. Classic female solipsism - methinks the lady doth project too much.

Really, really, telling that every guy in here has apparently heard this exact version of the script.

When women say this, just look at them and reply, so what?
That's what Putin said to Amerikan media when they shamed him for not allowing anymore adoptions of Russian babies to the US. They shamed him saying, "...but Russia is Poor!"...Putin: "So what?"

The reason he put in to place these restrictions was because our politicians/media were accusing Russia of "human rights 'violations'."

All these fvckin Americans, it's a disease, whereby Everybody has to IMPOSE their agenda on others. This is called Imperialism, and is what the Constitution was written/signed on to by 13 states, to guard against: Imperialism, or getting into other nations' business. Imperialism, as a mindset, has run amok in our country, it's a sick psychology to own and spread day in and day out in your life, because when you try to impose a set of rules, ideas, words, or doctrine, principles on to another person, you are essentially leaving out the words: "In my opinion" "THIS...you must do...for your own good."

No! in YOUR opinion, I must do this or that. If we lived by a set of WORDS our whole lives we'd not be even human, just a false vapid, soulless, Mindless, carcass of somebody else's ideals.
 

"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.

some of these responses are absolutely hilarious. How about a simple: "single...maybe. Definitely not lonely though." with a wink for emphasis.

sadly this is how 99% of people live on Earth

movies, religion, government, banks....all set up to make men into wage slaves that spend their lives chasing someone else's dream....never seeing the demonic OZ behind the curtain

I've never had a woman say that to me but if she did I'd just tell her the truth. "I actually enjoyed being single. I like the freedom.". It would make no sense for her to say that to someone in a relationship though.

The ability to come and go without having a discussion about it is always nice. I don't know why so many people are so afraid of being single.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

This is probably the TOP "shaming tactic" women use when a man refuses to bend to her will. Telling him: "he will die single and lonely".

I'm wondering what some of your best "comebacks" are to this attack? For me.. I like to say:

"Women like you make that option very attractive". :crackup:

But I'd like to hear some other great comebacks....
Better to be alone than in your company.

Usually I stop for a moment, act quizzically, then say probably and move on.

HBcünt:You'll die single and alone!

That's my plan, it should be yours too!
 

"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.

it is both projection and shaming, women are generally terrified of going to the end days alone, they hate being alone, the thought of being uncared for, they also view it as failure if they are not widows. there is enormous social stigma, or at least used to be, for women who are single post 50.

the 'You'll die single and lonely' line is sent out to carpet bomb males into believing they need to have a partner, there is something wrong with them if they dont.
its Bullshine but lots of guys go for it. Ive heard the line a few times, my response now would be..."Im touched that you are concerned, will you at least come to my funeral?" ;-)

The man usually dies first, but if they've had a rich life, a woman will die surrounded by her children. I think they find that acceptable.
