"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

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.

A couple of points:
1. aging can be and is cruel to guys as well. There's the saying 'men age like fine wine' ... but that doesn't happen by default. A lot of male acquaintances from high school and college look like shyt now, 20yrs later.

2. regarding the prime age of females which is generally considered to be in the 18-23yrs range ... I think that's true as far as the starting point of getting into a relationship with her. If she becomes your woman when she's 23, then her value should increase, just like the stock of a good company with a competent leader. So after 7yrs together, when she's now 30, it wouldn't make any sense to drop her for a 'hotter' 20yrs old.
 

"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.

Yeah but he´s been banging hot, fertile, childless poozy for ever. "Looks, Money, and Status". That´s Money & Status put to good use. If a man has enough money and status, Looks are only a bonus.
Agreed, more power to him. Just saying I don’t think he’s attractive at all which proves (to me) looks don’t matter

Went to a beachside festival yesterday with a girl I've been dating, the area was FULL of smokin' hot young hoes around 16-20 or so (age of consent is 16 here btw :cool: ). It was extremely hard to not check them out constantly their bodies were just incredible. My girl was hot but I could tell she was jealous of them. Craziest thing is many of them were sneaking glances at me too and I genuinely thought to myself what hell am I doing with this 25 year old?

"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.

:lol: :lol: :lol: can't agree less. Anytime I see these young teens I keep asking whether I did rush things and I am missing out on a lot.

I wouldn't date them they're just FWB material at best. But you say that like it's easy. It's very hard to want to approach them without feeling like a creep (especially if they're 16-17), a lot of girls buy into the social conditioning/gaslighting about older men liking young women so even if the girl likes you, her friends might go insane.

Once I get them I definitely won't give a fvck if everyone is staring though.

Enjoy whilst it lasts before she tries to lock you down
In my experience almost all younger women don't want relationships but just casual stuff. Some of them even say it on a first date.
 

"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.

From time to time, I do check out the social media profiles of women who attended high school and college with me. The profiles I tend to check out are the profiles of the women who were most attractive when I was in high school and college. Today, these women are 38-40 years old.

Most of the women who were attractive during that era are less attractive now. A few women have aged well and are still attractive, though slightly off their peak. I have seen attractive women from the top sororities at my "Hot Girl U" lose a lot of attractiveness after having children somewhere around age 30.
When I was 16 I had a crush on a girl at school. She was extremely cute and looked hot in her bathing suit. I made a move on her and she rejected me. Saw her again when we were about 50. She has become an ugly, divorced landwhale while I'm still decent looking and have a nice wife.
Sometimes live is good.

Aging in general is cruel. Look at the threads here, we're all trying to forestall its effects. Nothing wrong with that but it's kind of a sucky thing.

I think any man living the single life at some point has to reckon with how sustainable it will continue to be banging chicks in their 20s. Once you start pushing 50, unless you're super wealthy or Leo, it becomes more of a challenge (plus dating in general can be draining).

My experience is that by late 30s / early 40s start filtering young babes, 15-18 years younger and proceed. If you decide to settle down she will always be so many years younger. Of course if you're single life, ride or die, more power to you.

Cope thread. Sad.
"Don't worry bro, that woman that rejected you at 20, is going to hit the wall at 25-27. She would become invisible to men (due to the current crop of 18 year olds), her biological clock will start ticking, and she would settle for a loser" /thread

I guess that's a pretty good medical grade copium that everyone are taking. I presume it really takes the edge off.

Yes, women do have a biological wall for reproduction. But after a certain age, they give up on having kids anyway. The dating/relationship wall however extends to their 50s or even 60s. They have more options than any regular guy at any age, and do not have to lift a finger (while the older you are, the more you would need to have going for you)

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

aging can be cruel to anyone that doesn’t take care of themselves!

look at how many super jocks from your high school that turn into fat, disgusting slobs by their mid/late 20’s. Most attractive party girls we thought were 10’s in our younger years will age horribly ! Find a girl that enjoys the occasional glass of wine, loves working out, and being healthy All her life and she will look amazing most of her life baring any crazy genetic deformities!

If you ever look at old pictures of women when they're younger, you'll notice a night and day difference between when they're 18 as opposed to when they're 48. I noticed this with yearbook photos, family, etc.

It's surprising to me how some women's SMV goes down so fast and in a hurry. They're short term value (looks/reproductive) peaks early, but most girls today don't think about long term value (mother/family, provisioning, protection/security). My mother & grandmother (maternal) were prime examples of this. It ****s up their ability to be good mothers to their kids. I look at it like this, if a woman doesn't value her health, then she's not going to be the mother of my kids (assuming I have any).

That's one reason why I stay in shape (among others), so if any girl ever decides to try to lock me down, she instinctively knows what the deal is. It's not to be mean to the girl. If her self-esteem is so low, she's desperate, & I can't inspire her to be the best mother possible (dread), then I understand the repercussions down the road in regards to the relationship/family.
