So do I.I state reality.
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.
So do I.I state reality.
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.
There are different types of women, just like their are different types of men:This is true, and it's a dichotomy in game teachings I've noticed. When I first started reading about seduction online, a lot of the material preached, "Women are insecure and are just WAITING for you to approach them." A few years later there was a lot of, "Women [esp. in the West] are self-centered and need to be taken down a few notches for you to seduce them." I summarize of course.
Both are probably true, and while having the big ego probably hides insecurity, it doesn't mean that all insecure women have big egos. Many let their insecurities show in honest ways. Most in the West don't, because they are taught from an early age that they are special snowflakes that can do anything a man can do. Hence the bluster.
The way men have responded: 1. Better, more a$$hole-y game, with more pump-and-dumping. 2. Becoming betafied partners/eunuchs. 3. MGTOW or perhaps opting out of the West, finding women in the Philippines, etc.
The ego is a defense mechanism. We need a moderate ego. An inflated ego is often the result of insecurity. You know you have a healthy ego, when you can laugh at yourself.My buddy said he was in public the other day and overheard two girls talking. He said they were legit 5/10s. They were saying that they hate themselves but they love the attention of getting hit on. Its like girls these days simultaneously have self esteem issues but still think they are better than you lol. They will turn men down ruthlessly. They have an ego but yet deep down inside they have a poor self image. Most girls i know have serious self esteem issues. Its like a thing with women. So can some one explain how you can have both a big ego and a low self esteem. Da fuq
I know that some girls auto reject you for an ego boost. But its weird how they can do that and still feel like **** inside.
Yes, and the crucial thing with ego is it is REACTIVE. A person with an inflated ego allows their consciousness to be overly defined by the environment. The palliative is humor. A person with a good sense of humor seems to have their other foot in an altogether other world.So a big ego is a defense mechanism that's so strongly rooted that the one having it are blissfully unaware of it? Still don't see the practical difference, they're obnoxious either way. I don't regard either as real, they're both acts.
Unless you by saying big ego are referring to high self-esteem, but that's different. A big ego gives a sh!t what others think about them, they have low self-esteem because they're easily manipulated by others views rather than standing up for themselves.
A person with a good sense of humor who is just plain honest and humble about himself is pretty hard to offend and get a reaction from.Yes, and the crucial thing with ego is it is REACTIVE.

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
