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.
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.
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.
The last single mother I was with, had 3 kids and 2 abortions.Rollo Tomassi said:Put this in your notebook:
Any time you're dating / banging a single mother, you're sleeping with a woman who's against abortion.
Science is clear as mud. I say its not a human being until it can provide for its basic life support (breathing, injestion, etc). Until that its just a parasite sucking on its mother. Its not a baby till (or if) its born. Its a fetus before that. Nature has a way of killing them off itself before the fetus is born anyways.prairiedog24 said:...Science is clear what human life is, I don't think we should be questioning what a moral "person" is...

Yes, science is. And the neural development doesn't happen until well into the pregnancy. Until then the embryo is a gooey mass of human tissue.prairiedog24 said:Science is clear what human life is, I don't think we should be questioning what a moral "person" is.
I'd just like to point out that you completely missed the argument, so perhaps you shouldn't insult people's intelligence at the moment.Alle_Gory said:Yes, science is. And the neural development doesn't happen until well into the pregnancy. Until then the embryo is a gooey mass of human tissue.

Its funny how the people who are so "pro-life" understand nothing about it.
The concept of "human being" is a concept of moral philosophy, not science. So what's as "clear as mud" is your understanding of what science is and what it isn't.scrouds said:Science is clear as mud.

Fair enough. I don't care if people disagree with my position on the moral issue. I just can't stand it that science education is so degraded in the US that the average person has little understanding of what it even is. Pet peeve.Please don't turn this into a moral discussion about if you are for or against abortion.
Unique genetic information doesn't make a clump of cells a person.prairiedog24 said:The genetic information is already there, and unique. Ask any scientist on it, they're unanimous.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
Actually its not. Polls show most people are against abortion. Some go as far as murdering doctors (one who mostly aborted dead babies), and the rest want to make it illegal and want the woman punished in some form.The Inside Man said:I hope to God that this forum is not an accurate representation of the current state of American society.

Your statement is akin to saying "Football is clear as mud, iceskates may not exceed 15 inches in regulation play..."
Durrrrr.....
Did you think I was complimenting you?So what's as "clear as mud" is your understanding of what science is and what it isn't.
Completely agree with you here. To say otherwise is like suggesting that that lady that started a thread about her husband ignoring her and using porno instead is "a mans issue, and she shouldn't be a part of the discussion." Pretty asinine regardless of which side of the debate you're on. It's an intellectual cop-out.@alle_gory - It takes 2 to make a baby. While we don't have direct control, I'll be damned if it isn't an issue men should be interested in. Also, one of the things a man's job is is to provide guidance. Doesn't mean she has to listen, but its out there. You have power, you can try to use that to exert influence in either direction.
Oh no. You shut me up with these big vague phrases.prairiedog24 said:It's an intellectual cop-out.
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
