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.
Looking decent is good. A Rolex isn't necessary to look decent. For a cost of a Rolex (even a steel one), a man can get a number of really good outfits that can put him in better position to get laid than just a Rolex alone.
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.
I am not sure, but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, once....
Brings us back around to a conversation we were having here
Are these Selena fans like closet lessies?
This is Selena's concert back in 2015. The music video she made with the music seemed like some sort of soft core porn. You would have expected it to have been more guys that would have been into a song like that with an actual live concert, but was surprized that it's mainly hot young women...
Just as The Woke can interpret lyrics like that as promoting the objectification of women, The Red Pill's True Believers can interpret a guy investing in his own self-care as "Pandering to The Gynocentric Social Order". Trying to have a rational conversation with folks in either of these camps is less gainful than trying to persuade Bombay slum dwellers to defecate in commodes, rather than on the streets
That was a good ad campaign. I have had good stays at a Holiday Inn Express.
Sucks for them
Just edited my prior post. Good catch
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.
A lot of guys have naive view of the world especially when it comes to women and money. Usually, it's guys who don't have both or limited experience with one or the other. The truth is a lot of folks will get a harsh wake up call within the next 6 years as inflation, geo political conflicts, famine etc continue to escalate. What's my point? my point is the middle class has been eroding for the last 40 or so years. In my opinon within a decade or so the middle class won't exist. It's going to be the poor, the rich and the ultra rich. The "average manosphere guy" doesn't qualify for the women that they want. You can see this if you go on reddit where guys are obsessed with finding a girl who is a virgin in their 20s etc. Meanwhile, those guys live in their mom's basement working a low-end wage job and play "Fortnite" on the weekends(nothing wrong with that). However don't delude yourself into thinking you're gonna get a "baddie" living that type of lifestyle after 25, cause it's a turn of to women and usually they signal you as a "Loser" unless you're the outlier which let's be quite frank most manosphere guys are not hence I said average.
I got the most women when I was broke in my 20s, sleeping on a mattress on the floor in an average apartment living with a roommate. Why? I had more time to chase them. The older you get, the more money you make you realize there is more important things than chasing PUSSI
The erosion of the middle class in the United States has been problematic.
Likely true
Those men are losers and not red pill men.
The most prominent espousers of Red Pill Theology do go out of their way to LOOK like junior high kids who are desperately trying to let everyone in the vicinity how "different" they are. That's a problem, because legions of ordinary guys who aren't YouTube stars with Patreon accounts to live off have fallen for the lie that they to can look, speak, and act like societal dregs, and not suffer catastrophic personal and financial consequences
The middle class still makes up the largest income bracket in The US https://www.pewresearch.org/race-an...ricans who,Center analysis of government data and at least some of it's shrinkage is attributable to the fact that more folks are moving upwards than at anytime prior https://money.usnews.com/money/pers...-i-fall-in-the-american-economic-class-system
In recent years, it has become more difficult to buy a new Rolex due to waiting lists.
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.
Goes to a point made here, between 4:37-5:15To go back to the question: a Rolex might get you laid, but so will waving a thousand dollars. Just who are you going to have sex with? Some woman who is impressed by your watch?
