You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

There is something very strange to me about the mindset of being willing to MARRY a woman only because she is the one who has shown the "most interest" in you. Not that a woman being interested in you is a bad thing, it just doesn't seem like it should be the chief criteria and certainly not the ONLY creteria.Originally posted by Anti-Dump
I have a house that keeps me busy also. The woman that shows the MOST INTEREST gets to live there after marriage.
I am not opposed to looking for a girl who likes you a lot. Who would want to be with someone who WASN'T into them? All I was saying is that it is indicative of some profound emotional security issues for one to hold the highest POSSIBLE "interest level" as the chief if not the ONLY creterion for the woman one intends to marry.Originally posted by Oxide
PDX, looking for a girl who is loyal (likes you a lot) is normal, i dont see anything wrong with it.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
I'm in agreement with Now What. AD's program is a great set of training wheels.Originally posted by Now What
I don't think I'd call AD an AFC, though his strategies are clearly fundamental/ beginner. This is great for beginners. It is important to know the fundamentals.
However, for those who have the basics down, this article by Allen Thompson on Confident Persistence describes (essentially) AD's tactics and their weaknesses, and then goes on to describe more advanced tactics: http://www.sosuave.com/articles/persistence.htm
?FACT that a woman of extraordinary attractiveness requires a MUCH different approach than a girl who ain't all that hot.
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.
I wasn't recommending that you put up with BS just because she is hot. I think you misunderstood me. All I said was that it requires a different approach to be successful with a more attractive girl than with a less attractive girl. If you want me to elaborate further I will, but I think you will understand now.Originally posted by Oxide
Yes, hot girls know they are hot. They usually have more guys wanting them. Why the hell should i care? I want her, and ill be damned if i am going to put up with BS just becuase she is hot!
Maybe I shouldn't have said that. But I don't know what else to call a guy who has such a deadly fear of losing a woman that he implements a system designed to weed out all women besides the "most interested woman" in the hopes of finding a woman SO interested that there is, in his mind, ZERO possibility of ever losing her. He is so insecure that he cannot even stand to entertain it as a possibility that he may loose a woman. Even the NAME Anti-Dump reflects this neurotic phobia of his! Come on! And what else would cause him to be so neurotically afraid of losing a woman besides an underlying lack of condfidence in his ability to be interesting or attractive to them? And finally...what type of guy would have such negative deeply held beliefs about his desirability to women as those here aforementioned? ANSWER: An AFC.Originally posted by Mr. Mystery
That being said, I'm not sure I would go so far as to call him an AFC or anything negative.
What do I think? I think it was absolutely unnecessary and inappropriate for you to post DeepBlue's article (which by the way is a masterpiece) in your own thread when it would have been so much easer to provide a link to it. Which would have credited him more strongly for his own material rather than causing you to be praised as some sort of proxy for DeepBlue.Originally posted by Oxide
I see you mentioned DeepBlue. He was a great guy.
Read this post, i'm curious what you think:

I agree, although I think the guy just didn't know any better.I think it was absolutely unnecessary and inappropriate for you to post DeepBlue's article
