"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Right I'll be honest .... I'm probably at my worst right now...

- just been made redundant after 14 years (they've stopped trading and haven't gone insolvent, so no redundancy pay yet)
-no plates lined up (been dropped off a few ex's and to be fair im rock bottom, and don't trust them)
- no money
-depressed
-lost a lot a weight (that's bad because I was a lean gym goer)
-just turned 31
-and a ton of other things


Good steps in taking to change my life....

-stopped smoking bud ( as I feel I'm more bubbly and funny without it - I think it makes me boring and suppresses my personality.
-started my own business ... Although things are very slow I am making progress, and I've just had my website built and made my first sale (which felt amazing)
- looking for ways to interact with more women (not just yet but soon, as I'm broke and can't afford to do anything atm) CATCH 22.
-getting tanned
-nice classy clothes once business picks up (again finances)

Thought I'd just share my current situation, and this is the worst I've felt in a long time. Anyone else going though something similar? Any advice would be apprechiated :-/
 

"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.

Hell yes...lost job of 22 years due to management shake up. My brother died. Unemployed for two years. Divorced after 22 year marriage. Dumped after year Ltr.

I am a mess. Working on my mental state with counciling and meds. I am trying to get fit. I am better but still a mess. I start couciling monday and i am certain that will be the key.

As far as women and money go you dont have to be wealthy to get laid. I spent 3 bucks on a first date and got laid. I can usually keep my confidence and game gowing for the length of a date. What im working on is 24/7. I can lose it and have a manic episode that is horrible. I have issues but others have it worse. The key is to reconize your short commings and take action to change. That is what i am doing. I hope in 6 months i will be a new man.

Well it's good to know that I'm not on my own ... This is the worst position I've ever been in ... I'm thinking a fresh start.

That is what I am tying to do. Just get my life and mental state in order. That is what's most important. Women are way down the list. I have a goal of six months to have it together. If it takes longer it takes longer. I just need to keep trying. This is the worst I have been in too. I have been this way since my divorce then everything snowballed. I didn't work on myself. I just coasted. I can't do that any longer as issues are getting worse. My ex gf was a crutch. I will get my mind right. That is the key for me. I also suffer from depression. Good luck my friend. If you need support pm me. Most of the guys on here have been through hell and are very supportive. I talk to a few younger guys on the phone. They just need some encouragement and I am happy to give it.

"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.
