She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
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.
At your age dude, its not that bad of a problem YET. In about 3 more years its going to concern you more....HandyAndy said:Meh, i dont care about openly admitting that im a virgin, i dont think having sex is such a big deal, despite me saying things like "id do her" on a daily basis...I just hope it (being a virgin) doesnt last until im a full blown adult...
Same here. but i got over 2 months to be 23 yr old V. I'm such an optimist. lol. But I'm really surprised, I cannot imagine american guys not getting laid by the time they are out of high school. I mean I was in a boys school my whole life, and raised in a conservative society. But you guys, seriously, how come?Rebound Material said:IM TOTALLY SERIOUS.
I think whats making this sound so bad is cuz I mentioned 1985 which is the year I was born. Im basically in the same situation as Handy but worse haha. Im about to be a 23 year old virgin in about a month...

I think you've beatin yourself enough already. :crackup:ain't had sex since 2003. who can beat me?
Rebound Material said:Since 1985!
YAY! I think Im winning!:cheer:
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.
Since when is there a rule that if your a dude and your a virgin, your first has to be a virgin?Every year that you get older, it will become increasingly hard to find a girl your age that is still a virgin (only guaruntee that she's clean).
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Oh crap!....so that means my answer doesnt count huh?Tomatoes said:God and i thought 3 months was really bad!
I dont think you can include Virgins in this.
Since they have never had sex they dont know what they are missing....
(cough)LUKE SKYWALKER!(ahem)Tomatoes said:Intresting to know who is the oldest virgin thow...
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.
