"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.

Given that women base so much on our earning potential, our career is obviously a big part of dating.

One thing I've observed in my 20 year career is that over time, especially after the "War on Terror" and 9/11, the only people remaining who have jobs are the Gover-lover, "See-Something-Say-Something", Vaccinated, Body-scanned, Diet-coke-drinking types. The types who secretly report you to your boss when they don't like an email you sent that contained a joke about their frozen burrito - first offense, or who take you out to lunch and then gossip about a (true but politically incorrect) comment you made.

In 1994, we'd all go out and get high, nevermind rat out coworkers who told bad jokes!

It's a Zero-Tolerance, Zero-Humor policy, nation-wide. What a bunch of A-holes. Anything that keeps THEM safe?

What is going on?
 

"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.

Really? ****ing hell is it that bad?

That would piss me off. For the last 5 years I worked in a nightclub doing security and it definately wasn't politically correct. We would talk all kinds of **** to each other and joke about everything. Sounds like in a office I wouldn't do well. And I guess I wouldn't want to if I can't express myself. I would upset alot of these sooks.

What the **** happened indeed!? Unfortunately I have no idea, but political correctness really ****ed things up.

And the whole "women base so much on our earning potential". Get rid of that belief ;)

I work in an ofice wth lots of women, mostly fat bloaters and the b1tching and backstabbing is off ths scale, I pretty much keep myself to myself and only interact when I have to, they arent all like that of course but youre right, its all about keeping them safe and they will plunge the knife in if it pormotes them. feminism allows it
