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.
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.
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.
Who the fvck said anything about dressing or emulating a circus clown Mr. Unpronouncable?meitenesrigas said:If you need rings, necklaces, furry hats, and makeup you probably have some big issues you need to workout before you do anything else. Personally, I think all that stuff makes you look as gay as AIDS.
KarmaSutra said:Though Dong's point is valid, I don't agree. A lot of guys use thier external self image as a crutch to motivate them and build confidence. Is this the Karmic Method? No. But there is nothing wrong with a brother using a prop to better position himself to taking that first step towards understanding himself and laying his foundation.
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.

Obviously you reference Mystery and his methodology of dressing like a fruity chick to get chicks but not everything is so goddamned cut and dry.
Use your ears to listen to what your mind is saying before typing idiocy.
I'm not angry at you. Do not make that mistake. That would entail me giving a sh!t, which I do not. Repeatedly you've posted incomprehensible rabble but what does piss me off is that you don't have the testicular fortitude to sac up and admit that what you post will NOT put you or anyone else on the path of maturity.meitenesrigas said:Well, we both have different goals. Your anger is simply the result of your location. I can't get angry at you, and you won't drag me into a silly Internet feud. If I was in your shoes I would probably be a danger to myself. So, no hard feelings. Ataa!!

If you were in my shoes you'd have respect for yourself instead of vying for attention.
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.

Cmon guys , offer something good . Looking good its not just for womens . I wanna look good firstly for myself . He's just askin a question .
Anyone noticing the similarities? Remember you'll never have true gaming abilities until you're complacent with yourself prior.PRMoon said:Wear whatever you want. Rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, hats. As long as you're comfortable with that look and you feel your outter appearence is an expression of your inner self, then you're on the right track. Don't ever dress because you think it will make people you don't know happy. I can't emphisize this enough.
