When women spend a long time in the bathroom while you're out with them for the first time, does this mean they're trying to "kill time" because they're not that into you?? That's what I would think. I don't know though.
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.
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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Yes, if she spends alot of time in the bathroom it is usually a good sign since she is making the effort to look good for you.
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.
No, I've never seen it...what's it about??Originally posted by persistent exaction

Yeah, I'd be more apt to believing that. I never even got a kiss goodbye, only a hug that night..although I did have my arm around her a few times during the night..she didn't try to pull away or anything, and she was massaging my hand. Who the hell knows.Originally posted by TooColdUlrick
the bathroom is a sanctuary for women. she's probably talking sh!t about you, or calling up other guys, or her chick friends. half of the time, they go to the bathroom without even having to take a wee wee or drop a doo doo.
maybe she's "refunding", as in sienfeld?
what i don't understand is how woman can use so much fukking toilet paper. i had two over here the other night, my sister and a friend. between them, they went through a fresh roll in one night! i told them i was gonna start charging them for it.
I find it funny too... If I have a girlfriend I can go through an entire package in a week or two. If I am on my own one lasts me for months.Originally posted by TooColdUlrick

Do you wipe your penis after you urinate? Well, they do. Remember, their urinary tract and vagina are damn close to their anus. Fecal matter is a bastian of bacteria and and other bad things. If any of that gets into the urinary tract or vagina they're in for a world of hurt. Thus a lot of wiping and cleaning. Femanine hygene is infinatly more technical and necessary then male. Now you know why all the girls had to go to that meeting in the gymnasium back when you were in gradeschool.

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
