"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Actually found a girl I thought I could have a good convo with. Get her number, we start talking, ask her out, she says of course :).

Message the next arvo telling her I'll pick her up at 8 and we'll go into the city, she messages me back 2 hours later saying, hey I'm gonna cancel, my uncle sorta passed away last night.

My firsts reaction was that she flaked. No girl would say 'my uncle kinda passed away.' But I thought i'd message telling her its cool, hope shes feeling alrite and offering my condolences.

Message her on Friday, asking how she is? No response.

I reckon I was right the first time when I thought she used it as an excuse.

Im not angry or depressed, Im just more shocked a girl would go to that length. Sorta sad, how messed up women are nowdays.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

Yep, believe it.

My ex last year told me a few hours before my birthday celebration that she couldn't make it because her brother's Father in law was having emergency surgery and someone had to look after his kids, but that she was going to "try her best" to get out of having to babysit and attend. She sent me a self-serving text near midnight that she was still waiting on her mom (I think) to show up and relieve her of babysitting duties, but that she hoped I was having an amazing time with amazing friends and family on a memorable night blah blah stream of bullsh*t. Funny how she took me out for a beer the night before, as if to absolve her in advance of what (I'm suspect) she had planned all along - to flake on me. And yes, I wound up getting into a LTR relationship with this girl despite everyone telling me that if she didn't counter offer (which she did, but never followed through) it was high time to kick her to the curb, which I didn't do and now I'm here trying to tie up all my AFC loose ends. I asked for it!

That there was my own personal experience that yes, you will get fed some serious BS on occasion and the best you can do is make sure you don't stand in line to get a second serving sent in your direction.

One time, my sister and her friend were talking in the living room. My dad and I were watching a game when her phone rang. She picked it up and it was a guy from her class asking her out. She lied and said that her coworker just passed away yesterday and she's with their family.

Which was a terrible lie considering she doesn't work. My dad made her call him back and tell him she was lying and would like to go out with him. Guess what? She ended up liking him and now they're going out. Smh.

Are you that naive or desperate?
Some guys sorta deserve to deal with garbage...
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

Complete bulls**t excuse.

I would delete her entirely. Accept that you have failed with this girl and move on.

The dude is just sharing his experience, no need to be hostile. Could happen to anyone. He knows its BS.

Lol cheers for sharing your expierience dudes.

Yeh I was more shocked that she'd say something like that. I thought I heard it all till then. I deleted her number of course, no point keeping it, deleted her as a friend off fb too, no guy should put up with that s.hit.

Hahaha, "sorta". That cracked me up. Anyways, it doesn't matter. If it's an excuse you're done, and if it's legit she wouldn't be in a dating mood anyways.
