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.
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.
I would have chosen a different picture because these look like underage schoolgirls to me.I would say they are subtle. Of these 3 High School girls, the far left is a 6/10 = a bit above average, the other two are 5's/average looking girls. The 6 has longer hair, more feminine face and nicer eyes, better skull shape, slightly prettier.
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.
It would not surprise me if he had some AI assist program that spits out all the key metrics like goinal angle, etc. His rating has a worksheet, and I would imagine that he gets the general score based on metrics, and then does a final lookover to see if that score needs to be adjusted.
At age 15, I would have been all over the gal on the right.I would say they are subtle. Of these 3 High School girls, the far left is a 6/10 = a bit above average, the other two are 5's/average looking girls. The 6 has longer hair, more feminine face and nicer eyes, better skull shape, slightly prettier.
She looks a bit like she could grow up into a Margaret Thatcher. 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.
Wheat Waffles (Sam) says that a "5" is a healthy weight, average face person. I agree with this and have always used it as my own guide going back to the late 1990's. Using National Weight Statistics to define average is silly because the average USA woman is 172lbs @ 5ft4, average American man is 5ft9 @ 199lbs. They will look below average at that weight. Both need to drop 30lbs, if not the woman 45lbs to 50lbs.
does he have a video somewhere showing faces & bodies going in attractiveness up the scale from 5-10?
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
She's the kind of girl who would be beautiful if she was straight up happy. I love the energy from her. I'll bet she would be great if she was doing something fun, or accomplished something big.
She's an absolute stunner to my personal tastes, although the 'post your 10' thread from back in the day made me realise how wildly different many guys tastes are! People were posting '10's' that I HONESTLY would probably not even choose to bang if it was on a plate! And so it's fair to imagine that some guys thought the same about my '10's' lol
That's the takeaway that I got from that too. That thread demonstrated how different people are, and I think one of the reasons why people on here butt heads with one another; it's just simply because each person has their own needs and wants.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
