You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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.
There was a programme on in the UK, a couple of weeks ago about Catfishing.Is there a smartphone app to see how different some women look without makeup? How saggy their t!tts are without that pushup bra?
How much botox?
Talk about calling the kettle black.....
makes no sense to lie, it's not that lying makes you taller ,lmao so sad.Men lie about their height alot. I'm assuming now that the average height for males is an inch lower or atleast a half an inch.
My job requires me to check IDs, now before I never looked at height but it popped in my head due to the height threads on this board.
Off hand on my last day of work 3 guys had 5"11 on their IDs, one guy was atleast 2 inches shorter than me maybe more as he was barely above my eye level. Other guy had 5"11 and was a maybe half an inch shorter than me and the other guy who had 5"11 on ID was 5"9 ish.
My point is all that average height stuff is a big lie. Most men are probably on average 5"8 1/2 to 5"9. 25
I'm 5"10.25 so seeing these dudes claim their heights was kind of funny unless I'm measuring myself wrong and I'm taller. I use a tape measure but heard it's inaccurate and makes you shorter. Who knows point is most dudes are not that "tall" and neither are women, average height for women is probably 5"2 1/2.
Me being 5"10 my eye level is 5"6 I rarely see women at my eye level. Most are below my nose
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.
This might be the most depressing post I've ever read here.Had one single mom telling me she had a date with a guy, they had great time on evening, the guy asking her for another date that she said will get back to him later on.. Tells me she purposely become distance afterward because hes 5'4 and laughs at it when she recall the situation. Anf shes 5'5
Go figure.
Crazy technology we now have. Though, the LiDAR cam option in the pro ain't cheap. Not too sure if many will have so quickly. Though, I am sure the android makers are coming out with cheaper versions of phones with LiDAR cams. Soon there will be zero privacy.
my opinion: It's OVER for shortcels.![]()

It's a waste of time taking women on elaborate dates these days. You have to make a move quickly to find out if they're feeling you.This might be the most depressing post I've ever read here.
