"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.

I am in my early 30s yet apparently look 45. Chances with younger women?

why is pregnancy your major concern and not like HIV?
Ummm, so maybe he doesn't end up being "stuck with a young kid"?

 

"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.

Just over a million Americans have HIV. That's a pretty small percentage (0.36%).

It's unlikely any randomly selected escort has HIV. Then even if a condom were to break with an HIV-positive escort, there's still no guarantee I'd get HIV. I looked it up. The odds of getting HIV from a one-time unprotected exposure are, at most, 2%.

So we're talking 2% of 0.36%

Which would be .007, or double-oh-seven if you will.

I think the prevelance of HIV is higher in Sex workers.
Good point, I hadn't thought of that.

I found a study from the NIH where they estimate the HIV prevalence in female sex workers. The average estimate is 17% (various studies have produced various estimates, ranging from 0.3% to 32%).

Even if we use the high estimate of 32%, with a 2% HIV risk from a single uncovered exposure, the odds of getting HIV if a condom breaks with an HIV-positive escort are 0.64% (Still a lot lower than the odds of getting a younger escort pregnant from a broken condom)
 

"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.
