I noticed that too. It's like walking thru a different door.It's funny how bad the relationship can seem once you find a better prospect
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.

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.
You did your part in educating her.Yes, they will. My kids mom did this. She left a guy for me and eventually left me for another guy (this was before my SS days). Then she had a kid with him and tried to branch swing back to me years later. I cut that branch down with a chainsaw and laughed.
All women do this in some way or form. They always have a new guy or guys lined up.

Sazc is 100% spot on with this..I never say never but, IMO, people don't change. That's why screening is so important.
When we have established a level of comfort, I like to ask my potentials what caused their last breakup.
What I have learned is...
If they explain it to me and place zero accountability/responsibility on their own shoulders (i.e. it's all the other person's fault) then this is a person that doesn't learn from there life or mistakes, and WILL be repeating them, probably with me.
As well, the reason for the breakup, the one they hold their partner totally accountable for, usually rears it's ugly head eventually with the person you are taking to (because there was no growth)
Listen for someone to explain why their last relationship failed and, if they blame the other person entirely, ask them what role they played in the scenario.
If their reply is defensive, red flag. There's no growth there. II don't do "plates" but you men should consider these women as plates in the moment, and screen hard.
If their reply is thoughtful and places some level of accountability on themselves, this is a very good sign. Still screen but she might have some good potential.
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.
So, a woman with proven hypergamy leaves a man for you and you want to question what will happen?Like, does this happen all the time? What are you experiences with this? I am curious.
The problem is "what is 'better dude?'" More money? better looking? more charisma? more character? more social clout? manlier?This is true for all women. I will caveat this by saying, in addition, that if she believes you are the best she can do she will stay. However, if she has the opportunity to monkey branch to a better dude, then she will. So it's not just about you meeting her needs, it's about who BEST can meet her needs.
Depends on the chick. All women are the same, they all respond to the same male strength characteristics. They are all attracted to looks, status, and money.... but depending on where the chick is in her life, one of those three things might be more important. You can have Brad Pitt looks, but if a chick is three times more influenced by money... you will lose out to a rich guy even if he is bald and fat.The problem is "what is 'better dude?'" More money? better looking? more charisma? more character? more social clout? manlier?
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.
This is gold.Another spin on this situation....
I view people who stay in less than stellar relationships as weak. Why do you need the assurance of another warm body before you will find your self esteem and end a relationship that isn't fulfilling?
That's not the type of person I can respect.
Bull****e. His comment completely agreed with the premise of your last bull**** thread. There was no perspective gained fromThis is exactly what I come for in this forum. Thank you, Sir. I just gained perspective.
