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.
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.
This forum is a great learning tool, but welcome to the mindset of being a realist. It’s a new reality in and of itself, a sign of maturity, and completely authentic.
It advocates getting in relationships, which I just want sex, but regardless I am done trying to ****ing "game"
I have no problem telling anybody that I am a flag waving Trump supporter and a "Five Point Calvinist" anti abortion,anti gay marriage,pro gun conservative..I could give a fvck what anybody thinks.I have had no problem meeting women at all in my life and have had loads of fun..and may I add having a blast in retirement do what the fvck you want and be yourself..you will get more respect that way..don't give in one inch.I have had many women try and change me and my views to no avail,when they realize they can't change or move me they are shocked.
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.
Well that aint gonna happen for me. I'm like freebird. I cant change.
