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.
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.
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.
had to laugh when I read this! Lots of truth to that.if she is interested, she will make things easy, then just be a man and she will be in love with you in a couple for weeks.....
And for every one of those guys who made it, there are 99 other guys who tried and failed. Maybe it was through no fault of their own, but there's only so much room at the top. Of the guys you mentioned, the bar owner probably has the best chance of success, but I've known many guys who have opened their own bar only to see it fail.
Tyler (Owen) from RSD is another guy who seems to imply that it takes a lot of work to get hot girls. All that "You have to go out six nights a week for 10 years and then you still might not be good at it" stuff has to make you think maybe it isn't worth it.
I definitely agree, but that brings up a question: Does being desireable to the opposite sex actually mean that you are better than the next guy? Or does not being that desireable make you a lesser person?It is no secret that the most desirable women have the most choices. The most desirable women pair off with the most desirable men...men who themselves have the most choices.
Not sure I agree. Average looking guys can boost themselves up pretty well with very simple things like taking care of body, etc. An average guy with a killer body will pull hotties no problem. If that average guy has game or assets, he will elevate himself to the top very easily. I have dropped about 15 lbs in the last couple months, and have more definition (nowhere near what I want), and have noticed 6's are just downright in awe like.. "you want to hang out with me?" I imagine when I add more bulk, 7's will have this same thought.In my experience, if you're an average looking guy , even if you work out and try to look your best, you get average to above average girls (from 5s to 7s), and that's it.
Well, if you have other pluses like a lot of money, or some extra talent you may get a slighly hotter girl, but that's it.
AND, you get these girls if you put the effort in getting them, I mean, you go out, try to have a fun outgoing personality, etc, etc etc.
Getting very hot girls in an 'easy' way, just happens when you're above average looking + you have money OR high status.
After many years I now just go for girls that I find kind of hot or cute and they obviously show interest. That's it.
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.
I remember hearing that when I was a kid, and I was very disappointed when I grew up and realized that it wasn't true. My experience is that the best looking women I've seen have men all over them like flies. I think that women like to put out this "No one asks me out because I'm too pretty" idea just to get more attention. And as much attention as they do get, they think they should be getting more.I also believe 8's and 9's are easier with good game! They don't get approached much because guys are think the old BS "she is out of my league".
Well, they have tons of orbiters and unwanted attention. Not sure they get lots of legitimate attention from legitimate guys. My ex got cat-called and random schmucks coming up to her frequently, but almost never any guy worth more than a bag of rocks. And I would say she was a 7-8. Would be interesting to actually determine though.I remember hearing that when I was a kid, and I was very disappointed when I grew up and realized that it wasn't true.

Try to find a needle in a haystack, what????Turn this on its head; only adore an adorable woman.
This had me rolling...Good, then just go ahead and give up on getting what you really want. Makes it easier for me! No participation trophies here....run a long little boys!!!!!!!!

BAM!!! Quoted for truthI remember hearing that when I was a kid, and I was very disappointed when I grew up and realized that it wasn't true.

I agree women should not be top priority in a man's life. If they are you are going to give off the wrong vibe and smother a woman with too much attention. If I hear a man say "I know how to treat a lady"...it's almost a yellow flag because anyone who makes such a statement really makes my stage 5 clinger radar go up. I don't go by words, I go by actions.I definitely agree, but that brings up a question: Does being desireable to the opposite sex actually mean that you are better than the next guy? Or does not being that desireable make you a lesser person?
By the way, I don't know why some people are attacking the OP. They do teach here that women should not be a top priority, so I do think he asks s legitimate question.
First part of this quote is SO true.Well, they have tons of orbiters and unwanted attention. Not sure they get lots of legitimate attention from legitimate guys.
Regardless, you are better than all those other men, and she wants you... that is the mindset you have to have. Attractive women will not tolerate insecurity.
Your original statement was They don't get approached much because guys are think the old BS "she is out of my league". Now I guess you're saying they don't get approached much by alpha males. Well, first off alpha men are fairly rare, so I imagine not many women get approached by a LOT of alpha males.Well, they have tons of orbiters and unwanted attention. Not sure they get lots of legitimate attention from legitimate guys.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
