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.
You don't automatically get respect you earn respect.
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.
for Arabs … black people are a big no no
Yeh im not sure why this dude is mentioning my finances. How can he possibly know how much money I have saved up? There are many reasons a guy can have an extra few thousand. Thats not that much money even for an average dude like me. The country is not Morroco but it is a very cheap country i agree.
It sounds like you took a princess hiking.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
So you're dating a girl who ran away from her family with a guy she knows from the internet, for a free vacation...
Maybe or you can look at it this way. Dudes in the manosphere always talk about foreign is the way to go. Well I dated foreign and they are still a pain the azz. When you go foreign you will laregly get these type of chicks. Women are women.
I went to her country and chilled with her first. This is not our first encounter straight from the internet lol. But you still make a good point. Shorty is not the most rational.
In France it is a different story, Arab women (especially north africans like Morrocans) love black men
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Yeh I agree. I meant the no no is from the parents. The girls dont discriminate in this side of the world. Its a cultural mixing pot.
Save the headache, just go to France and find a North African Muslim girl from Algeria,Tunisia or Morroco. You will have a much better time.
makes sense the daddy issues that you mentioned , and also makes sense why maybe she wanted to rebel and do exactly what is a big no no
You find 3 internet clips and from them conclude categorically that "arab women and especially north africans love black men"? And you are even australian, never even living in France. These posts are just laughable. It's like reading a forum run by 8 year olds.
true
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.
To be fair, I've experienced north Africans being particularly friendly and open to being picked up when meeting tourists.
women there are big gold diggers , and expect guys to pay for everything
