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.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Lots of those gals don't look horrid by any means, even if their beauty is 1/8th of a shadow of it's 19-20 year old self. Most of them could easily snag men in their 7th-9th decades of life. This isn't even a uniquely female problem:
You can have my age matches that I'm not interested in...I'm not interested in women that age, no way - and I'm in that age bracket myself.
I'd rather not bother and be on my own if that's all I could get. At least then you've got your peace, you can get your sh!te together, and do your own thing. If ever the juice isn't worth the squeeze, it's with women that old.
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.
Fine for recreational use but again I wouldn't want to be buying into anything permanent with a woman of that age. It's just not worth it.You can have my age matches that I'm not interested in...
You can have my 40 somethings...Fine for recreational use but again I wouldn't want to be buying into anything permanent with a woman of that age. It's just not worth it.
It's whenever a woman is old enough so that men no longer have the desire to pursue them with any level of zeal. Age 40 is a good round number for harridanhood.At what age does Harridan territory begin?
There is just nothing evolutionarily positive about getting with a woman that has aged out of her reproductive years. That said, I could see myself being single father and being OK with an older woman, even a single mommy - but not as a childless bachelor, no no.I'm not interested in women that age, no way - and I'm in that age bracket myself.
