"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.

I know that from time to time even the strongest of us may be prone to AFC behavior. But what kinda percentage of guys actually do qualify as AFC? In other words how prevalent is this?

Interesting question.

Unfortunately I don't think any data has been gathered on this matter. For one reason, it's difficult to when one is an AFC, vs. showing a single AFC act. There are also different levels of being an AFC. Therefore there needs to be a cut off point between normal dude and AFC. I'd also say that age plays a big factor if one is an AFC or not.

Walk down the street and make eye contact with every male you see. The ones that hold eye contact and nod are the alphas, the ones that look away are AFCs.
My theory is that about 80% of males are AFCs

From my experiences and all the people ive come across in my life, I can count on one hand the amount of guys are are TRUE natural alphas. Im going to say AT LEAST 90% of all men are AFC or have AFC traits.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Almost all of America. When you start focusing on how you are too old to date certain ages of girls you are an American. When you like mothers you are an American. When you change diapers on a daily basis you are an American. When your wife doesn't cook for you, you are an American. When the apex of your life was college you are an American. Need I go on?

Did that today to test out the theory - it holds true to some degree.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

99.999999% are AFCs
Does that mean women are only really attracted to 0.000001% of the men?

I don't think that is true. Maybe the alpha just doesn't want to bother with looking at you, or nodding, or interacting with you at all. Maybe he has other things on his mind.

Well, let's look at the stats.

The average American man has sex with 7 women in his life. BUT, the top 15% have sex with 15 women or more. So, this means that 100 men have sex with 700 women (I know there's overlap but it's not important for our case). Now, take out the Alphas and you have 85 men sleeping with 475 women (the actual number is probably less), or 5-6 women on average.

So...if the AFC loses his virginity at 18, and gets married at thirty that means 85% OF MEN ARE SLEEPING WITH ONE WOMEN EVERY TWO YEARS AT MOST.

Dues that answer your question?

I have a theory that the number of AFCs is higher in the city.

My thinking is: more media, more RNB music= more social conditioning for males.

In the country, less media. Less focus on mainstream music. I.e less social conditioning.

Also I have seen more "players" about in the country than in the city. Plus its all about being "one" with nature.

PS. i do like RNB but i just ignore the lyrics.

Interesting theory. But you could make the argument that there is more social conditioning in the country. People in the country tend to be more conservative and traditional than people in the city. They are more rigid and less accepting of many different things. The countryside is far more homogeneous and less diverse than the city i.e. more people are doing the same thing.

While in a city, you are confronted with a huge variety of different viewpoints. In the countryside, you only get one or two. You only have one frame of reference, so you are actually less aware of your conditioning. In cities you tend to have a very large hodgepodge of different people so you can see what's out there and make a better informed decision, so to speak.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.
