"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.

When women say you'll die alone and single

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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....
I would say you are not getting any younger and if you do end up married I hope you end up being divorced and when you are past your prime you are going to be competing with women in their teens and twenties, your options will decline

Guess I came on too strong. Lucky for me she can't get away very easily with her bad knees and all.
Should have negged her and acted disinterested.

I don't know about that one, gotta be careful with the GGILF's. I'd let it slip that I was hungry, and see if she'd invite me in for a meal. :up:
 

"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.

I used to get this on the forums. My self-esteem and perceived ugliness and thus bad outlook was especially bad the last couple of years, and psychiatric help was the only way because of years of bullying and passive-aggressive, condescending adults/youth workers not doing a fig of help, and then female posters giving me pity and putting down well-constructed rants that assumed that i would never be attractive to any women and thus assumed I would be alone, so to speak, with no help at what I can do with what I have got, and general low expectations of life. Male role models are bad today, don't care about sports athletes, even if you win gold, doesn't get women wet (and I know this forum aims to get us out of this mindset as to why we place that much stock in getting women interested). I managed my anger and self-harm much better now, but I wonder why I go through the patterns of self-abuse at all. Am I going mad?

"I might die single, but definitely not lonely. I'll probably die with four naked girls around me, having a heart attack from the blood rushing to my **** so fast." is a real charmer.

Can't remember where I read or heard this from, but here's a perfect rebuttal to:

Woman: You'll die single and alone!

Man: Girl, you can't threaten a man with peace and quiet. :D
 

"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.
