"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.

You don't understand the point.... because i don't feel like I deserve to have a quality girlfriend, I don't act in a way that is attractive

When you don't think you're worthy of a high quality woman, you try to force things to happen, you try to impress them, you come across as desperate, etc.... Basically you self sabotage yourself. This is what I do around the women I want. When I am making friends, I am very confident so I naturally act super chill and people love me

Consciously, I know I'm a very good catch but I've made dating so hard in my head subconsciously and women's standards so extreme that the lack of self belief and self trust is murdering me. This is 100% a question of confidence and personality at this point. Me not having a decent 7-9/10 GF is entirely due to a piss poor effort on my end. There are tons and tons of guys out there who aren't half as good looking as I am, a fraction as successful as me or nowhere near as good of a person as I am in terms of genuine character who have a hot girlfriend
Would a confident man come across as desperate? Would a confident man care if a woman turns him down?

What you have done is fantastic by generating wealth, exercising and being entertainment. Those are great qualities. However, that is not who you really are. You are wearing the mask of success, but it is only to protect yourself. The real person underneath the mask is the man that needs attention.

Who is dave? What is Dave's purpose?

Quit examining superficial nonsense and take deep dive at the source of your immense insecurity. Do you have resentment towards your parents? This is usually the first place to look. Is there relationship damage you still need to fix?

Whatever the source of your problem is, your ego is blocking your view. The issue with women is that they have an insane amount of intuition and ability to sniff out a mans character. And from what you have shared, once they get a whiff, they dont like the smell at all.

What is lurking beneath the surface?

Take away the money, good looks and social circle. Then what is left? If dave had absolutely nothing and was homeless on the streets, who are you?

I may suggest therapy as a source to guide your thoughts in the right direction.
 

"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.

Does Dave's core man want to have sex?

Does his core man think it's wise to spend an inordinate amount of time on "hot" women that aren't giving him sex?

Masculinity would be having sex . No ifs ands or buts .His evaluation system is feminine like. They say men are like dogs, I'm seeing no dog In him. Get laid from one of your more attractive options, doesn't matter if she has a baby or not. You don't have to be her husband .

having sex with mediocre women does nothing to help my psyche or confidence
Wrong.

You literally invented a false sense of low self esteem to hide your enormous narcissistic belief that you deserve way more than you do and absolve yourself from swallowing your pride and risk rejection
Haha, thread done?

Guy has mental health issues for real.
 

"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.

But he doesn't want to fvck mediocre because he's a god. A god that can't even get that 7/10 ethnic b1tch he craves, for shame.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Incredible post. Grand slam home run. DING DING DING!!!

Where the ego is large the self esteem is small. They are inversely proportional. Why doesn't Dave think he is good enough? (Because underneath all this bravado and peacocking behavior that's what the real Dave REALLY thinks.) Sort that out and much will fall into place.

As a woman you might not realize it's important for a man to have sex. Women are repulsed by sex starved men . When your having steady sex a masculine part of your image is fed. You may notice additional attention, plus it calms you down and removes neediness. I think he's an idiot from position it himself above the ladies who want to give that to him.

a lot of what you guys said is on the money


Huge part of the problem for me is I want a very specific, very high quality woman AND I want it to be a very easy approach. I don't want any obstacles, I want the woman to clearly give me signs of interest. It's just all nonsense, I have to put myself out there and put myself in uncomfortable situations
 

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

We were saying the "sniper" approach has been tried time and time again. It's too much work and not effective. You just need to get into the game. Also stop giving babes free attention .

Today I went to the gym, and this super cute Italian girl who works up front (cute, late 20s, great thick body, italian - pretty much right up my alley) definitely smiled and held eye contact with me for a little while

I went to the grocery store and this cute Spanish cashier smiled at me also and held conversation for a little while (laughed at everything I said)


the problem is none of these situations are any good for asking a woman out. I'm not gonna ask out the Italian girl right at her job when it's awkward as hell and I can't ask out the cashier when I have people waiting in line. This is what I fukking hate about dating - even when I see someone I like, very rarely is the approach situation itself any good (usually a very awkward scenario)

You realize talking to them isn't dating.

Dating is going out... not talking to them while they work...

This padawan has so much to learn.

You have nothing to lose to ask for a number. All situations are good because all women live in the moment. If you don't want t ask them that's fine.

If you really wanted to go on a date.. You would ask them out.

You know BigDave, you can make has much thread as possible to convince yourself. At the end of the day, you are still making threads, and repeating that thread every day about having a girl in your life. Actions over words...

I just did a salsa class today . It was a good move. Tons of attractive and receptive ladies.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.
