For banging? Absolutely.I’ve found women tend to make exceptions to their rules when they want to.
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.

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.
Brad Pitt is 60 years old now, that cliche is played out now, maybe 20 years ago sure but now? Gen-Z chicks ain't checking for Brad Pitt like thatNo need to get defensive bro, do you really think a girl would breake up with Brad Pritt cause he supports Trump? Come on man!
Not against the odds for someone who still has it. Good work.Dating a 46 year old at 56 as one of my plates. Granted against the odds at my age but I’ll take it.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I am speaking from experience too. Alot of projections and assumptions in these threads. Our politicians have taught us well.Corrected from experience. Now stop telling people about stuff you know nothing about. You're not old enough to speak for older men.
Whatever "legal" is. If laws didn't exist, we'd be talking about our 14 year old brides.What's the youngest you have ever dated someone i've been in the position to date a 18 year old but didn't go through I think the cut off of me is 21 years young.
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.
Im 39. Yes i would LOVE to date an 18 year old. Is'nt that the dream.What's the youngest you have ever dated someone i've been in the position to date a 18 year old but didn't go through I think the cut off of me is 21 years young.
