"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Chapter One: The Rise

It's been a long time coming, but it's time to tell this tale in full.

Things didn't start off so bad for my old man. In his young years he travelled the world, his long hair and beard were a hit with the ladies, he was a guy that said "screw it, I'm going to go motorbike through Iran for 6 months". He had a huge social group and his pick of women, and an uncanny ability to make money.

But the time came, as it does for us all that Infern0 Sr had to start thinking about his future, and this was when he started to get serious with Mrs Infern0.

Mrs Infern0 was not adventurous, she was a quiet woman with few friends, but she had lived next door to Infern0 Sr since they were kids, and eventually he became besotted by her. She took very good care of her appearance, always fashionable and attractive looking with slender figure.

Infern0 Sr picked up a job on a building site, and within a year was leading his own crew. Back in these days London was undergoing a construction boom, and big money could be made. Mrs Infern0 did not work, she was a housewife, but it was not unusual for Infern0 Sr to hand mrs Infern0 1000 pounds and tell her to treat herself. 1000 pounds was a lot in the late 80's but he could afford to do this regularly.

Eventually Infern0 Sr started his own construction business, he owned 4 vans, a large wholesale store and offices, and had over 20 employees. He took advantage of industry contacts and secured cut price properties which he refurbished and rented out. At his peak he owned 4 houses.

Mrs Inferno did not work.

Infern0 Sr was a success, he was wealthy, popular, had everything to look forward to as he approached his 40th birthday. When his 40th birday party happened, over 200 people were present, and none other than Eric Clapton was hired to do a guest set.

Infern0 srs future looked bright, what could possibly go wrong?

"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.

Good read, will stay tuned.

You in the UK? Still lots of money to be made in construction. My uncle who for the most part was a drug dealer and party animal, now earns close to £100,000 fitting boilers and doing plumbing ffs.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Chapter 2: The rot begins

Infern0 senior was no doubt looking forwards to a succesful 5th decade to his life, after all everything was on the upswing.

One day however mrs Infern0 decided she wanted to get into foster caring, as she had heard the government was paying decent $$$ and she wouldn't have to do much different to her usual day. Infern0 Sr wasn't against the idea of a second income so he allowed it, and for a time they were doing financially even better.

Mrs Infern0 however began to grow jealous of Infern0 srs social life. As after a hard day of work he would visit the local pub for an hour or two on his way home. Or on the weekend while mrs Infern0 had to look after the kids as it was her job.

One day Mrs Infern0 decided she could earn more money by moving to a 5 bedroom property they owned and having more foster children. This property was 180 miles away however

Infern0 Sr explained that he still earned considerably more and could not move his company. So it was compromised that Infern0 Sr would drive up on weekends and they would look for a larger property near Infern0 Sr.

All went ok for a while, Infern0 Sr still had his great social life and businesses. However mrs Infern0 was not happy, she felt he was having a good life while she was toiling and lonely.

One day mrs Infern0 issued an ultimatum, Infern0 Sr would either sell his businesses and move in with her, or they would divorce.

Infern0 Sr tried to explain that financially it would make far more sense for her to stop working and move back with him, but mrs infern0 would not budge.

As Infern0 Sr weighed his options he made a decision that would lead to truly disastrous consequences, at the height of his success he caved in to the demands of an irrational woman.

Infern0 Sr sold up at a clearance lot price and headed north to his inevitable demise.

Awsome so far A+++++
Cant wait for more

I think most people know whats coming.

However so far it does feel like its gonna be over simplify.
Sometime you got to give and take and i wonder how a situation like that could have been avoided.

For sure selling the buisness was a bad move but problem arise way earlier and idk if any move he made would have change the ultimate outcome change.

The only way to ultimately avoid a situation like that is to never get married.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.
