"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.

With the family court being on the side of women, and men being screwed over in most divorces would you still want to marry?

I'm really curious why or why not men would still want to get married in this day and age, where 50% of marriages end in divorce.

Me personally I'm still on the fence, I want to be able to raise a family one day and marriage seems like the only option.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

I really don't see myself getting married in at least the next 5 years or so. Co-habitation? Perhaps, but I will not any any children.

I used to want to get married, don’t anymore. Used to even enjoy being in relationships, always had a long time girlfriend when I was younger, now I try to avoid them. Ain’t about to let some woman live with me either. I don’t play that house pretend ****.

Go foreign brother. Travel and expand your horizons.
 

"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.

Foreign women are better but you can never bring them back to the west, they wont have their friends and family to keep them in check. Plus western culture promotes degeneracy.

With co habitation you get common law marriage, they can still divorce you from that.

Living together destroys most relationships

I did alright out of my divorce financially speaking, walked away with a couple
of mortgage free properties, a van and a couple of motorcycles, all my own stuff
back plus some of 'our' stuff. All negotiated between ourselves so no lawyers bills
or mediation costs. It isn't always man rape. Wouldn't marry again though. No way.

Nope!
Since getting out of my marriage I'm enjoying my freedom too much.
I might eventually co-habit at some point, but not any time soon.

I got off fairly lightly - No kids to consider (My one daughter was already grown-up and moved out) - No debts to come back and bite me in the a$$ - Took all my own stuff when I left, and started again fairly easily...
I didn't want the house, I just let her keep it. Worth the hit to be free with no comebacks and make the break easy.

My username is more of a joke now.

What happened? I realized the system is WAY more fuuked, than I had originally thought.

I realized how important money is, to lasting and sustained relationships. And, if your value is constantly being eroded away, you can't expect a good future.

Government monetary policies are genocidal.

The accumulation of Bitcoin, over time, is the only way out.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Regardless the laws, there are no good reasons to get married compared to simply cohabitation...given ofc that you want a woman 24/7 in your life which is definitely not my case.

The only reason men want a woman 24/7 is because they think it means sex 24/7 as well
Hope that wont be the case especially for guys 50+ married to a same age woman...thats a curse no one should endure.
 

"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.

I'll marry up, that's it
That's all well and good until one day she wakes up and realises she's married down
and then it's goodnight sweetheart and welcome to the gigantic scrapheap of 2nd hand husbands.

Totally agree.

Why the fvck should any sane, normally-functioning guy has to "HUNT" a wife? Seriously?
:rofl: lol...Especially... when there are none to be found.
