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.
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.
Are people leaving that city in droves?
The population has decreased significantly since the beginning of covid. Add in the anti-business oriented government, tax the wealthy mindset, the high unemployment rate, and the stumbling economy, the soft on crime mentality, the significant rise in violent crime, and it's not an ideal place to live right now.
As much fun as you want... In your hotel room. That assumes you can actually enter the hotel. With De Blasio (ranked the worst mayor in NYC history), I do not believe you can enter a hotel and book a room. Wait until after January 1st. Mayor-Elect Adams' spokesperson said he will be rolling back some of De Blasio's mandates.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
I hope that happens. Adams looks promising for NYC. Deblasio really did a number on NYC and drove it into the ground. Kind of like dinkins did back in the day.
I'm from New York, and the vaccine mandate is the one thing keeping me away from my family and friends. This year I will be spending Xmas and New Year where I currently live.
Why did you move to Bend, OR? Were you missing Blockbuster that much?
Haha, it took me a year after I moved to visit that store. Not gonna lie, it is kinda cool and nostalgic.
