"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

3 Things the Woman You're Dating Wants You to Do

"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.

Need I say more? I didn't read the entire article but I read the key points. I agree with 1 and 2 but definitely not 3. I only agree with them because of the subtitles but I certainly don't agree with what she wrote in detail about it.

EDIT: I only agree with her first point.

omg lol #3 cracks me up. I used to have a FB with about 300 friends. This was in mid 2014. I also had this gf at the time (ex now of course). On our anniversary I:

1) told her happy anniversary verbally in person, first thing in the morning
2) Late in the day replied to her FB message to me on my wall saying happy anniversary .

BUT, I failed to post happy anniversary to her FB page.. She let me have it that night so bad. It lead to a big fight and I ended up saying fVck this and disabled my FB page. These women and their social media it's really a sickness.... It just ain't right! :eek:
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

There are no such things as anniversaries with FB's...those are things reserved for girlfriends and wives.

So should we assume this was your girlfriend at the time?

I think FB means Facebook in his post. I could be mistaken though.

1) Pursue her.
Haaaa. We all know where that leads.

2) Be consistent.
= Be boring and predictable. Women love that.

3) In social media -- like in life -- make sure it's clear she's your favorite.
You shouldn't be connected on social media, unless you're getting married.
Any man worth his salt doesn't spend too much time on social media anyway; it's a the territory of sales and advertising betas, tech 'gurus', women and 'professional photographers'.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

to be fair i thought she started the first two paragraphs fairly well

then she just seemed to decend into complete and utter fantasy , jesus no man is ever going to be able to live up to those fanstsys she writes about

"daily hello texts make us all tingly inside"

WHAT - THE - FVCK

i can understand the wanting to feel safe stuff but the irony is its usually the woman who needs to let the man in first before any of that can happen

Some of this I agree with.

1. I agree women prefer to speak with you over the phone. You get better responses when you talk to her rather than text.. the rest of Number One about pursuing the woman is complete BS.

2. There was a part that indicated that your actions are more important than what you say, I do agree you have to be congruent. She pays much more attention to what you do rather than what you say. The rest of that is suggested indicates predictability which will kill you. Women prefer a man that they are not quite sure about.... I know that it is counter-intuitive, but it is what it is.

3. The problems with social media is accurate. The solution is don't use it. Don't post anything don't like anything, unless it's a family member or good friend. Never respond to anything women you like are doing.

Ugh, the pre-sosuave me would have read this list and asked "but I'm doing all these things, why am i still not getting any girls?"

They might as well have made a list called How to Drive Women Away Quickly.

First thing I immediately did when the article was posted: Scrolled down to see who wrote it.

Second thing I immediately did: Click on the red X.

well to be fair pursue her and be consistent are kinda ok, her explanation on it is wrong, don't matter sometimes when you want a girl you will have to go after her a little, at least enough to hook her up, and be consistent is being a man the whole time, and don't cave for little things.

the 3rd one I follow the rule of, just to be polite, if I don't see that person on that week I will say happy birthday, and that is to any friend be male or females I don't want anything, anything diferently I will meet her, if she have a problem with that, welll, thanks for helping me to filter you

I agree with the three things but I apply them very differently in my game.

Pursue her: I'll be the one setting up dates and calling initially. When interest builds it goes 50/50 at that point. I don't mind a little pursuit if she is returning the intentions, no problem.

Be Consistent: I will always act like I have feelings for her if she returns the intention. If she flakes out once I'll drop my overt interest in her and keep gaming other girls..

Social Media Favorite: If she's my girl I won't flirt with other girls on social media otherwise "whatever"
 

"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.
