"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.
A man's man (of the old generation)...

"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.

Why is it that guys of the older generation where thought to be real men, but today men are mostly weak p'ussies?

We're not talking about that. I don't agree with Sean Connery on that part either. It is more his way of being which is this old school way which I guess why the Tv series "Mad Men" because so popular for example...

One thing for sure, he will handle disrespect.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

With how “woke” the world is becoming guys like Connery will be viewed as pure savages... and gen xers will be thought of as real men.... we were able to get into fights... get and give concussions, broken noses.. without fear of arrest or a lawsuit.... we grew up with two genders... grew up without the internet and actually had to interact in person.... my parents had to sign a permission slip every school year allowing the teachers to discipline me... I actually got paddled in grade school by teachers !!! Imagine that now...

You're 39. That's the tail end of Gen X. Paddling in school was supposed to be gone before early Gen X started kindergarten.
Yep, basically what Sean is saying is a b|tch slap is a man’s last polite resort to a high physical level of disrespect unless she tries to escalate even further to a higher level, then it’s time to vacate her area of operation…
I’m not into woman beating, but If things have gone that far downhill, I agree with Sean, RIP…

I wish I was still 39... I’m going to turn 41 shortly. I never put my actual dob on an Internet forum. Catholic school had padding until I graduated 8th grade. Went to public highschool and paddling didn’t exist.

41 is still the tail end of Gen X (1977-1981). I thought paddling was out of Catholic schools by the end of the 1970s. You said paddling was in your Catholic school until the mid-1990s. I thought paddling was done from public schools even before that (1970). \\
Millennials (1982-1996) are a wimpy generation. It's part of why website dating and later swipe apps took off with Millennials. Millennials are too wimpy to cold approach as a whole. Too much soy and processed foods and too much internet porn has made Millennial men soft. Millennial men as children were coddled with self-esteem building stuff during the 1990s and early 2000s in school. Meanwhile, schools in the 1990s were ineffective in discipling children that were getting bullied.
We're now seeing the effects of bad trends in the schools from the 1990s. Millennials were the trophy generation of snowflakes.
I doubt Gen Z is going to be much better.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
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.
It's always the previous generation that let it that far.

I guess we grew up in different areas of the US then. In Queens, during the 90s, there was no coddling for me by my parents or anyone else. Are you from California, Washington State, Oregon or somewhere like there?

Which is why the word "snowflakes" is a real thing. (and the term soyboys too).
They are whining and crying the second something goes against them and are offended by anything calling it/anything "racists" which is pretty retarded and weak in my opinion... (and laughable too lol)
and... if that doesn't work then mom and dad will call their boss to reprimand him for offending their 30 plus soyboi or daughter on why they didn't get that promotion (or whatever). Sigh...
Take this commie leftist guy at around 3 minutes into the video for example; he is a primary example of a weak snowflake who is calling the campus police because they hurt his feelings and now he is offended by Will Witt's and saying he is "terrorizing the campus with dangerous and horrible ideas", (News break: that's called freedom of speech) :
Ha ha I don't know if one should cry or laugh about it..
