"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.

Nope, haven't failed the masturbation thing yet. Day 3 so far. At least according to my count lol because sometimes I forget to change the day. Anyhow, like I said, not masturbating is really easy for me after like the first 3-4 days but the real thing I have trouble with is the nonprocrastination. I will try to do that for 5 days this week and hopefully change forever.

DAY 17: February 27, 2005

**FAILED**
- No masturbation/porn (Day 3).
- No junk food at all for a month (exception = diet ginger ale).
- Follow Daily Workout Routine.
--> Elliptical, 15 min. (HIIT)
--> Abs, forearms
- Get at least six hours of sleep everyday.
- Do all homework first before turning on the computer.
- No AIM chatting: Replace with phone calls.
- No forum/xanga browsing except to update this: Replace with reading a magazine or book.
- No video/computer games: Replace with guitar practice or workout.
- No swearing: Replace with a slow count to 10.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

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.

Aren't you kind of taking the fun out of life?

I view it as putting control INTO my life. Then I can command time for efficiently and have more fun because while everyone else is worrying and losing sleep over their work they put back, I am relaxing and getting enough rest to look and feel good the next day.

Haven't seen you in a while TyTe. How're you doing?

Don't any of you have anything about MEETING people in these "tests of will"?

honest to God. you want to improve your life? meet girls, meet guys, and start going out more.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

I do, though right now it's at just practicing eye contact, maybe I should change it to talk to one new person every day.

to afk: I failed today, you win again mate.

I just wanna control myself and be free of the limitations of pr0n and appeals of lust. That way I have total control over myself and am waaayy less inclined to give into a woman just because of her looks because I can resist it. You might wanna get a different source on the testosterone business though...I'm just repeating what I've read here.
No masturbation makes you more desperate when talking to a girl, which is a turnoff.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I was popping random boners everywhere today btw.

Anyhow, right now I am in a state of PISSED OFF so I'm going to lay low for a bit so I don't do anything stupid. Will update later.

Eternal, thanks for the input. It hasn't happened with me though.

"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.

probably a good idea considering there's some people that arn't to happy seeing all these threads start up. I'm gona go ahead and transfer my stuff over there to as well I think. I might include a journal in it, just because it sounds like an interesting idea.
Oh yea, btw, I lose again. Having barely anything going on for a day sucks.

sounds good, but six hours of sleep? you can do better than that. make it 8 hours at least, especially if your in high school cuz your probably still growing taller and getting enough sleep will help you reach your maximum height.

nope, he's not here, or at least he stopped continuing this thread, he's over at eternals site now (link in my sig) but he hasn't posted their in a while now either. We both started up journals, but he hasnt said anything in awhile I believe.
 

"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.
