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.
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.
If someone was to say this to me instead of me reading it, I would have definitely laughed.Atom Smasher said:They had to dump it. The pages were all stuck together.
I also am wondering why....Nobody can even own up to why it was deleted. I wonder why? Maybe because they are addicted to masturbation and want everyone to believe its a good thing....I've stopped and I love getting random boners....feel like a man.blehck said:So, it has been deleted? Ok
But why? The admins and staff think its too embarassing for this forum to have this kind of topic?
It had so many good testimonials, it`s a shame that it all got lost![]()
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.
lmao all the more incentive to stop!Energy25 said:I've stopped and I love getting random boners....feel like a man.
First, hahahahaaAtom Smasher said:They had to dump it. The pages were all stuck together.
lmao its a conspiracy , i also read that thread , i was wanting to read it to kinda give me a boost , to not whack , and the random boners give you like a rush of man adrenaline to approach girls , especially if your well indowed in tight jeans lol jk ( i don't wear tight jeans)Chickfight said:First, hahahahaa
Secondly, I have a theory one of the moderators is a religious nut. A while back I made a thread about getting a Christian girl which got deleted... and now the epic masturbation thread? Something is going on.
Yeah I also found it very helpful to read that thread when trying to stop. It's a shame it got deleted for no reason. Whoever did it, F!UCK YOU.cablecow15 said:lmao its a conspiracy , i also read that thread , i was wanting to read it to kinda give me a boost , to not whack , and the random boners give you like a rush of man adrenaline to approach girls , especially if your well indowed in tight jeans lol jk ( i don't wear tight jeans)
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.
Benefits of not masturbating:SoSuaveDude said:Gee. I'm really trying to stop and unfortunately need constant motivation. Can anyone provide a testimony of experienced benefits after discontinuing their past MB habits. And I also wish that the pages weren't superglued with ancient serum lol.. :woo:
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

-healthier
The list goes on and on...
well think of it this way , if your gonna go home and do it yourself , you wont feel as big of a need to go out and get it from a girl , but everyone's entitled their own opinionMantis Toboggan said:-Less hammerhead sharks around you.
-Increased Bestosterone (it's like testosterone, but better).

I figured since we're just pulling facts out of our ass, we might as well go balls to the wall.
You guys are f**kin weirdos. Masturbation, in normal quantities, will not make you better or worse at life.
Yeah cause personal experience is "pulling facts out of your ass". Sorry but I'll take my own personal experience through trial and error over some loser addicted to masturbation on the internet. Whatever helps you sleep at night.Mantis Toboggan said:-Less hammerhead sharks around you.

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.
