"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.

I'm on a forced sobriety for 14 days after my procedure. I'm wondering if I should try to continue it. Common sense says I should. Here's a story from a few weeks ago...

I was at bar and started drinking, then I Ubered to another bar, then another, then another, then another, then a strip club. Some of these bars were 30 miles away in opposite ends of town, and some of them I only know I was there because of checking my Uber log the next day. I must have Ubered 100 miles that day.

Unfortunately, alcohol can sometimes help my social skills. And sometimes I feel like my emotions get caught up until I introduce some substance that unlocks them. I could be angry for weeks and not know it until I have a few drinks, then I realize I've been angry for quite some time.

Aside from the negative effects alcohol has on your body, it also would cause me to be less motivated for my business. And I doubt any decent girl wants to date a drunk. But usually once I drink one, I will end up drinking 6-10 at least.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

Stay dry. It's time for you to tackle life as it really is.

I believe they call it a social lubricant. Though like motor oil, it tends to make mess of things if used too much. :\

What I tried last night was drinking bourbon in a glass. That helped slow down how much I drank through out the night.

As for emotion, it does seem to bring out our "true" selves supposedly. Though I wouldn't take it personally if it comes out as it can be misguided energy, which is beneficial in other things like being an entrepreneur or making dupe music.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Some of what's released was controlled for a good reasons. So some subconscious thoughts you wouldn't have acted on came come out. Since the inhibitions are reduced. Self control is a good thing, no?

did you talk to at least one person in these bars apart from buying alcohol
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
