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 the man is acting weak and or needy, then it will almost be a GUARANTEE that she will cheat. This is in the sense that she's coming from a place of high attraction. It also doesn't help that social media and society's portrayal of women being "strong and independent," makes the value of women sky rocket thus creating more options/attention from men therefore giving women the option to cheat within a finger tapping distance. All of this attention makes her now weak and needy male suddenly become more and more unattractive... Women are not meant to "spin plates" or be hypergamic. Their bodies aren't even wired to undergo pregnancy more than once or twice whilst men can ejaculate multiple times within a single day. That's just how nature wired us. But the thing is, once she thinks about cheating then all of the above I stated just makes it easier if not tempting. It's true you will have some chances to "redeem" yourself from your weak and or needy behavior especially if she finds you highly attractive but even that has a limit.Arthy said:What are the reasons? Can someone make a list of them?
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Did you just compare being pregnant to ejaculating? Smh.Frayzer said:If the man is acting weak and or needy, then it will almost be a GUARANTEE that she will cheat.

With that being said, you need to have your A game on when going into a relationship and sometimes even when dating. A few mistakes can result in her cheating. The only real reason, without the woman having psychological problems, is because the male is acting weak and or needy. Even with all the attention she gets, if she's really attractive, you really need to stand your ground and keep your frame.
Maintaining a relationship is A LOT harder than what people, and society, make it out to be.
Yes. Is there an issue?El Payaso said:Did you just compare being pregnant to ejaculating? Smh.
If you have 30 different buckets with close to the same amount of water, yet some are more clear while others more dark, does it really matter which one you pick?El Payaso said:Why is water wet?
So you're basically saying "why are 30 men holding water, and why are some lighter then others?"Frayzer said:If you have 30 different buckets with close to the same amount of water, yet some are more clear while others more dark, does it really matter which one you pick?
At the end of the day, you're still going to get wet. It doesn't matter why "water is wet." It's the "how" it gets wet is what's more important. How is this relevant to women/my posts? The buckets are men.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Well, wetness is our description of what we feel when we put our hand in water. Saying water is wet is like saying that wood is hard or fire is hot.El Payaso said:Why is water wet?
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.
Lol. Whatever you say, youngin.Frayzer said:Yes. Is there an issue?
I was aiming towards the "women aren't wired by nature to be hyerpgramic" route by the way, I'm pretty sure I did say that. Was just an example.
Big Nuts said:Simple: You are lower value than the guy she is fcking.
The only preventative measure is to ensure you always strive to maintain high value. The best way to do this is to choose happiness and fulfillment for yourself at all times...she is secondary...but she will follow.
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.
