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.
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.
"Where do u live"Return with:
“Yeah, yeah, that’s what they all say!So how has this site been treating you so far? —Richard”
You can thank yours truly for that too.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Should I say "bionic-ness" or say anything about bionic d1ck?“I live in downtown Williamsburg, with all the cool hippies. They love my bionic-ness. What about you, are you a Lower-east-side princess? “
^^^More crippled lameness from this stroke victim.Hush Naughty Ninja, he’s using my lines that you stole from me.
Alternatively to the first one, go with, "I live in UES Manhattan. I'm down in Orlando for two days taking care of a contract. It was easy. She hardly squealed.Should I say "bionic-ness" or say anything about bionic d1ck?
The other one messaged me back and said...
"I was on the fence about you because you are much younger"
What should I say to that?
The one who called me young said...Alternatively to the first one, go with, "I live in UES Manhattan. I'm down in Orlando for two days taking care of a contract. It was easy. She hardly squealed.What about you, what do you do for fun ?"
First one is about to drop, she ignored your question to her. Need to shock her a bit.
To the second, "Yeah, I heard that one before! It's you, who is too young for me princess.So, how has this site been treating you so far? --Richard"
"I know, I know, hundreds of matches, 99% 'winners.' I live in NY, in Orlando on business for couple days. I'm rarely on this site, so let's take our convo offline. Give me your number and I will text you and maybe we can meet for a drink =) Richard"The one who called me young said...
"I joined yesterday" and...
"I am baffled by the fact that there are any women on here"
"Everyone tries to talk about sex to me after like 30 seconds"
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.
Okay. I got a new match and she messaged me saying "Hello Steven" (fake name I use). What should I say?"I know, I know, hundreds of matches, 99% 'winners.' I live in NY, in Orlando on business for couple days. I'm rarely on this site, so let's take our convo offline. Give me your number and I will text you and maybe we can meet for a drink =) Richard"
Give her time to respond. Some respond 2-3 days later. Don't double e-mail.
You stud you.Okay. I got a new match and she messaged me saying "Hello Steven" (fake name I use). What should I say?
Okay 3rd one was an escort.You stud you.
Start with the go-to open:
Hey Veronica. I was going to right-swipe you earlier, but then I thought to myself, ‘Hmm, I don’t know about this one, she looks like trouble
You can thank yours truly for that open.
The second one gave me her number. What should I say on text? Surprisingly, her area code is a Tampa, FL area code.You see Richard, you’re just a bionic stud. Now work on those pics as I had described, and you’ll be fighting them off with your bionic stick.
You’re not insane. You just need women in your life.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
I'm still going with insane, but I wish him luck!You see Richard, you’re just a bionic stud. Now work on those pics as I had described, and you’ll be fighting them off with your bionic stick.
You’re not insane. You just need women in your life.
Text her now, “Hi, it’s Richard from TinderThe second one gave me her number. What should I say on text? Surprisingly, her area code is a Tampa, FL area code.
Because you're a mental health professional and your opinion means so muchI'm still going with insane, but I wish him luck!
She said "Yeah"Text her now, “Hi, it’s Richard from TinderTampa area code, heh?”
I don't like one word answers. There is a certain level of presumptuousness in such a delivery. Here I would eject.She said "Yeah"
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.
