Is this common among relationships? I'm only 24 
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.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
I will admit she knows my stance on children but the marriage thing is too optimistic.How did you let yourself get into that position in the first place?
Clearly it should have come up in talks. And you should have told her "I don't believe in it".
Instead you have let her run amok. Only yourself to blame.
And I hope for your sakes that you haven't done the same with regards to the subject of having kids, or you are giving her a green light to spring a little surprise on you at her convenience.
But then if she's under the impression that you're getting married, she would probably hold that off anyway.
EVEN with sky high divorce rates HYPERGAMY is still alive and kicking. Especially if she's in her 20's and have never been married.Is this common among relationships? I'm only 24![]()
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.
The thing is a lot of people don't really know what they want and they can change their minds later. Girls do it all the time btw.I thought you were going to break up with her? Please stop wasting her time, and yours.
Moving forward, be honest with every female about who you are, and YOUR intentions. Yes, summertime's when you tell them "I dunt see kids or a marriage in my future" you are going to lose some of them, but it's better to lose some of them then to lead them on and find yourself repeatedly in this same place, whole you torture yourself with the same decisions of "how am I going to tell her?"
Live AUTHENTICALLY
Agreed. In this case, when a mind does change, even if the change is directed at your current partner (I.e. I do want to get married, I just don't see you as being the person I marry) that is the moment you tell your feelings to the person you are dating.The thing is a lot of people don't really know what they want and they can change their minds later. Girls do it all the time btw.
How many girls in their 20's just want to sleep around, then later decide they want a LTR? Guys can do the same thing. We can change our minds too. There was a time when I really wanted to settle down and get married. Now I feel different.
Yep her parents have been happily married forever, my parents divorced and my dad remarried 4 times and is pretty much stuck in a marriage right now. In addition, my mom has been mentally ill since the divorce, guess this can shape somebody's perspective on marriage lol.EVEN with sky high divorce rates HYPERGAMY is still alive and kicking.

If her parents are still married and happy together then this is no doubt on her agenda.
I remember in high school I wanted to have 10 kids like my friend's family lmao.The thing is a lot of people don't really know what they want and they can change their minds later. Girls do it all the time btw.

Does she know this?Yep her parents have been happily married forever, my parents divorced and my dad remarried 4 times and is pretty much stuck in a marriage right now. In addition, my mom has been mentally ill since the divorce, guess this can shape somebody's perspective on marriage lol.
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.
Don't let this assumption and emotional manipulation penetrate your psychology. Marriage is a rigged institution that mostly benefits women at the financial, familial, and legal expense of men.Is this common among relationships? I'm only 24![]()
I don't agree with that. Woman manipulate ALL the time to get what they want from men. Once they get what they want and have no more use for the man, they move on while spitting in the mans face, making him broke, and laughing at him at the same time.Moving forward, be honest with every female about who you are, and YOUR intentions.

Again cannot agree. Women don't 'live authentically.' Women live to manipulate, to humiliate, to get resources, to look good for their friends and family. They don't live for the 'man.' They could care less about the man. They care about what the man can do for them.Live AUTHENTICALLY
That's an extremely weak frame to game within. Have fun with that.I don't agree with that. Woman manipulate ALL the time to get what they want from men.

You want to live authentically? You wlll get absolutely destroyed, get bankrupt, get humiliated and lose the game.
You want to win game? Manipulate, manipulate, manipulate, change your words, change your circumstances, change your feelings, and always do what's best for you.![]()
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.
