"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.

Women "claiming" you?

One of my best friends has recently started hanging out with his cousin a lot. So, when we go out to bars, he will often bring her around, and she typically brings some friends. I've now met 5 of her friends in the last 20 days or so, and they are all extremely cute. My friend's cousin is cute, but I would give her the lowest rating out of all of the friends I have met.

I recently found out that my friend's cousin has a thing for me and told one of her friends I talk to, as well as her cousin (my friend), that she wants to fvck me.

I'm fairly certain that getting involved with her is going to ruin any chance I have with any of her friends. Agreed?

But my main question is, even if I don't get involved with her, do I still have no shot with her friends? Would you say that girls tend to "claim" guys they like so that their friends all know not to get involved?

I would prefer any of her friends to her, but if it's a lost cause, I would have no issue fvcking this chick. And before you guys ask, it's not an issue with her being my friend's cousin. I am sure of that.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Gotta take what's available.

Mount her.

That was my original thinking. But, now that I have a couple different girls I can get it from on a regular basis, I don't want to "settle" with this one. Unless I know her friends are a no-go. Then it's a different story, and sex is sex.

So, are you saying you agree that girls do "claim" guys and she is all that is available?

How do you know you can get the other ones? If you can, do em. If you are not positive, go for the sure thing.

I didn't mean that I know I can get her other friends. I was saying that I have a couple other FBs right now, so I am fine not settling for this girl if her hotter friends were still a possibility.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

unfortunatley girls will try and claim you and get you taken off the market, but it can be overcome. think about what you would do in the same situation on a cold approach pickup situation. 3 set, your gaming your target and one of her friends try to c.ock block you. what do you do? same thing in both situations. blow it off and continue to game your target. dont give into her attempts to lower your social value. this can actually work to your advantage. continue to keep her attracted to you because she will tell all her friends good things about you, which increases your value. some women will live by the hoes before bros code, however if you play your attraction game well enough, it wont matter. remember women can be vary catty. you can just be honest with the other girls and friend zone her right in front of them.

I don't know man.. I was hooking up with this one girl for about 2 weeks, then a week later her friend kinda seduced me and I hooked up with her haha. The first girl was kinda pissed, but not pissed enough to say anything about it.

That would be ideal, but can't count on that... I was kinda hoping for that with one of my current FBs, but let's just say it caused some issues that weren't worth dealing with for just a FB.

Canada, eh?
There is no such thing as a woman claiming a man, she can only mark her territory and thats about all considering she hasnt done anything with you yet. I would go for the one with the highest IL and would not chase the best pusy because it can ruin your chances with all of them if not successful. My 02 cents.

Well, a little update that changes everything.

The girl that wants me (who actually had her cousin call me last nigh to tell me she wants to fvck), I just found out is moving to the Bahamas for grad school in a couple weeks. This means 2 things: 1) She won't be around to try to c0ckblock, but also 2) unless my cousin knows her friends, I won't even be hanging out with her friends any more.

Sounds like I just got a free pass to fvck her and still possibly have a chance with another friend, assuming we still hang out with them.

From a guy's perspective, I agree. But if she has trustworthy friends, "marking her territory" might as well be "claiming". If her telling them she wants me is enough to back her friends off, that is what I am referring to, regardless of the terminology used.

Thanks for the input, guys.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Golden opportunity. Bang her and then bang her friend after she leaves town. Depending on how masculine of a frame you can establish, it may actually turn her friends on that you slept with her and also want to fvck them.

I was in a similar situation, involving two girls (best friends) from Brazil, both here studying English. They both came back to my place one night. We were all drunk as fvck. The one I wanted passed out in my guest bedroom. I got in bed and a few minutes later, her much less attractive friend comes in and asks if she could lay down.

The next day I straight up told her friend that I wish it had been her in my bed. She told me she liked me but I had slept with her friend, and she didn't want to hurt her feelings. Said it would never happen.

I dropped contact with both girls.

A few weeks later, the friend I banged goes back to Brazil, and guess who I get a booty call from?
