“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
How many of you read Cosmo?
- Thread starter Play the Game
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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 don't but I can't believe how some of what is said in those magazines goes exactly against DJ's

More appropriately referred to as "Cos-HO-politan" - part of the propagation of the Hor Matrix!!
“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

My ex-wife had a subscription for years.
It is a great opener to start busting on a chick at a news stand or checkout line for reading Cosmo. "You're reading the sex articles, aren't you?"

My ex-gf used to read it almost religiously... I read a little when they had something like sex tips for guys, but it was all pretty much common knowledge anyway. You guys should be reading Hot Rod or Maxim though, quit looking for new makeup tips. 
Playboy's a good one, not just for the pics of nekked chicks, it's got some good articles. Also check out GQ.
Playboy's a good one, not just for the pics of nekked chicks, it's got some good articles. Also check out GQ.
Summary of the article:
- Don't return his calls/emails the same day.
- Keep him guessing.
- Be just as busy as he is.
- Chat up another guy in his presence.
- Delay doing the deed.
Replace his with her and guy with girl. Sound familiar? How is this ANY different to the recommendations on this site? The only (half) exception is the last one where the article recommends waiting a MONTH Although DJ principals state that we shouldn't care if we have to wait a few dates, you know, don't be TOO attached to sex.
Honestly, if a girl is doing those things then she's exactly the same as we are. A female DJ if you will. Stop b!tching you hypocrites.

What gets me about Cosmo is how there are all these articles about sex --- how to drive him wild in bed --- 10 sex secrets he wishes you knew --- how to spice it up.
Yet, a lot of women are cold fish in bed. Do they even READ the "TIPS"? I'll bet about HALF don't ever apply them. Even when I rip them up, and make them do things they've never done (which is SO common that it AMAZES me -- how could they have never DONE x, y, or z before?) many are bereft of initiative. Too many just lie there. I like the ones who are enthusiastic.
This one chick recently (who's old enough to have already learned a thing or two) who was reasonably enthusiastic in bed, said, "Wow, I just realized that before, I'd been having BORING sex all my life." So, even though I was sorta flattered, I'm thinking: "B*itch, why don't YOU get crazy? Why is it all those other guys' fault? I'm not THAT much different than them. You oughta bring something to the table." But I didn't say it.
This post is pretty tangential, but the Cosmo question just got me thinking about this. The "fun" f*cks are just SO much better. I like those women a lot more.

"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.

Not surprised a women's magazine would encourage **** tests
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Basic Rules of Attraction 101
1. Keep them guessing/ keep them on their toes
- hot/cold
- actively disinterested
-c+f
2. Don't be clingy
- spin plates/ date multiple people
- don't call too much/ wait to call
- give them a chance to miss you
3. Don't be afraid to approach
- eye contact
- kino
- rapport

ect ect., it goes both ways, boys!!! Long before there was EVER sosuave, there was the Rules, and Cosmo, and Grandma!
It CRACKS ME UP that you all think Game is for boys. Girls have had it mastered for decades!!!
Game is just another word for common sense and ability to attract/maintain interest in romance.
We really ARE a lot more like you guys than NOT!!!

Yeah and that's why your female friend who doesn't do any of that gets the guys right out from under your nose. You're just not getting it iqqi, women are already too indirect naturally and men tend to be too direct (because they're erroneously told by society to do all the pursuing). The last thing most females need is to use more indirect games and especially game that's for guys.iqqi said:

Believe what you want.ketostix said:
And an easy woman will always pull more men than a woman who is more of a challenge. Just not in the way she wants. You dig?
Easy women get the men who get the pvssy which is all the easy woman had to offer so he hits and runs and the easy woman feels more empty than she did before so she goes and finds another man who gets the pvssy which is all the easy woman had to offer.... its a cycle.
Poor easy girl.

"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.
