The above has absolutely nothing to do with why an age icon is an EXCELLENT idea.Originally posted by Demon
What do you think the Don Juan Discussion forum is for? The DJ Discussion and High School forums are mutually exclusive.
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.

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.
Ok no need for melodramatics, Im sure you wouldnt be "forced" to disclose your age, hopefully if it was implemented it would be optional like your location.Originally posted by Demon
If these forums force me to advertise my age to the world, I leave. This idea would only be OKAY if it were an optional, but then the point of it all would be gone.
Hmmmm! Take note of his intent to criticize, yet he refrains from using profanity..Originally posted by Demon
Not all of us are careless Aussies.
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.
Probably because he's an honest guy, ... and posting his real age (50) would make him lose the god-like credibility he has carefully crafted on this forum!!!Originally posted by Apollo
Demon, why are you so against this idea?
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.
And I can see that you're the first to do that. 24? Pffft, didnt you say in a thread last year that you were "fresh out of high school", looking on how to pick up college chicks for the first time?Originally posted by Demon
...and then he lies about his age...
The probability of this being a good idea died when we realized that we are humans and we lie.

Does anyone who have been to junior college have any advice for a freshman? I'm just out of high school, two years earlier than normal, and I have no idea what college girls want in a guy.
In high school, it was mostly about sex, drugs, and looks. What is it in college?
Please post your tips, advice, etc. And I mean the whole nine yards from what to wear to what to say to how to act.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
