"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

Communication - Over reading or testing behavior?

Hi, I wanted to get all of your thoughts on decoding communication. Am I correct to say that women, especially if from a broken background (e.g. daddy issues), test constantly? Recently I have pulled back in the relationship and the tests have gone up 10X. They are also surrounding infidelity themes but indirectly (e.g. talking about a story where frat guys gang banged a girl and then later describing her apartment like a frathouse (one of her female friends said who is married), or talking about a sex swing randomly after very indirect jabs at poly sex with taken men and their partners). I also found it odd how her new friend's husband was renovating his home and then talked about copper, she has a copper IUD. Prior to that and through that conversation he had her finger near her lips looking at him. There are not supporting behaviors or actions, just words I must say. Should I be getting at something here? Are words ever a reliable means (indirectly of course) of whether or not someone is cheating? Donovan Sharpe has ******** (blurring out but woman ease) which does cross into the lines of decoding communication, but my interpretation was it had to do with communication tied to action (e.g. oh I just saw my coworker again). I'm also not sure how much Rollo would agree with woman ease like that.

"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.

I always try to use Rollo's framework as there is a lot of other nonsense out there. I feel that if you go off the deep end with some forms of red pill ideology you're constantly over analyzing and paranoid, like myself. I just want to make sure whether I'm off base with that or not (e.g. she is just testing).

Women experience vast abundance, aka they dont need any new guys attention--ever. Thery can simply go on instagram DMs, fb dms, tinder and pick and choose who they want like a wealthy man looking at a watch collection in his closet.

When they test you or you are getting tested often 1) they are showing they dont care 2) they thnk you're a player and want to see u work for it ... IN either case, its not worth it.. especially if youi have to go to a forum and ask-- it just means its not for you brother.. Focus on wealth and hobbies.

Interesting, so by showing they don't care can you explain more?

Also I'd like to clarify this is in the context of an LTR.
 

"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.

I want you to understand this piece of information and plaster it on your forehead so you dont forget:
NEVER IGNORE RED FLAGS IN WOMEN. YOu are a fool to and it shows you have no boundaries if you choose to be with a woman with terrible red flags.

The woman you mentioned sounds like shes been emotionally damaged and lost all her innnocence a long time ago.. now shes a nympho and sex addict. possibly also has had SA in her past (sexual assault)..t hese women become demons.. just run bro.

Yes but how engrained is this with Rollo Tomassi's theory? He mentions how the medium is the message, in other words what she does versus what she says. Isn't there a good chance that she is extremely toxic and testing? I am just trying to understand for future reference.

I am familiar with the ideology but not the practice.

The main way women communicate in relationships is through **** tests and comfort tests. There are multiple websites that explain what these tests are and how to pass them.

**** tests occur when you are not taking care of yourself, your responsibilities, or the people around you, causing her to question your leadership and competence. Comfort tests happen when she feels she is no longer part of your world and wants to reassess her place in your life. She wants to know that she still matters to you, that she can count on you, and that she remains an important part of your world. Comfort tests can arise when you become unaffectionate or inattentive, making her question your interest in the relationship.

Unless there are other suspicious behaviours, I wouldn't interpret these comments as signs of infidelity.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.
