"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"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.

The zodiac is based on the night sky +1000 years ago and since then it's shifted so your actual starsign is the next one along.
Like any fortune telling, cold reading I.e mediumship, palm reading etc, it's just a series of Barnum statements-statements that apply to everyone.

This is no different then all the hocus pocus being written on many threads.

You should just write another one of those BPD thread to make a hocus pocus sound credible and all the cry babies will eat it up.

I read a book once by a guy who did fake cold reading. He explained how it was all done, etc.

He talked about how he went on a talk show,as a fake psychic.

He told the audience he was going to demonstrate, by picking people and giving them fake psychic readings.

Even then, when he was done, everybody thought he was really a psychic.

You can slam this kind of stuff as being stupid, or you can leverage this knowing most people will eat it up like candy.

Whats the difference between a con artist saying "hey your a great person good things come your way"
Or me saying it to someone?
Only real difference is intention.

Con artists want to rob people.

Stringpullers want to create happy vibrations in people.
 

"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.

As for me, it's important to remember that astrology should never be used as the sole determinant of someone's character or future. It's just one aspect to consider in the bigger picture.

12 zodiac signs for 7 billion people.

you read something designed to match 0.6 billion people and think it suits you. You’re special.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

Hi Black Widow Void,
Well if Isack Newton had an open mind on Astrology,who are we to judge?
Sometimes it does seem to hold true,and then for those that read their Horoscope,there can be such a thing as self fulfilling prophesies....Horace The Gypsy reckons I'm in with a chance tonight so I am off out to the Club.

I had a conversation with Black Widow Void a while back on this. This birthday.org thing is quite right about me as the ‘Charming controller’

I ran some birthdays including my parents and past relationships and they are accurate. I’d take that over a coin flip any day. Kudos on the find!

The "star sign" has evolved into being "solar month sign", so the astronomical precession of the axis does not change the applicable dates in the year.

I am a Scorpio (both Sun & Moon); due to the precession of the axes, as well as the long span of Virgo along the ecliptic, early Scorpios today are Virgos (i.e., the Incel sign).

"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.

The babylonians and sumerians invented astrology, probably 300 to 200 bc or so. It was originally meant to forecast the fortunes of society as a whole. The parlor trick, tell your fortune act didn't become a thing until medieval times.

I don't really believe it, but I think it would behoove guys to at least learn some basics because most women eat that sh!t up and it can lead to a lot of interesting conversations on first dates.

It’s an easy way to sexualize a conversation if you know your basics.

Women tend to love the idea of inevitability and the whimsical stuff.

You can say stuff like “well, you know what they say about Scorpio and Pisces…right?”. In this case they’re supposed to have instant chemistry - which has played out for me personally repeatedly - but I digress. They love this shyte.

Use every tool you have at your disposal, always.
