Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
That's what they said about gays, and that didn't happen.Alle_Gory said:It's okay. The breed will die off without procreation.
Exactly because feminist, gays and effiminate males aren't completely born that way, they are made. As long as there are males being born society will emasculate soem of them. Same thing with females, society will turn them into hors and feminist too lol.ZenGodMod said:That's what they said about gays, and that didn't happen.
Feminism at its core is about giving women equal rights and equal choice. The problem isn't feminism as much as it is the breakdown of the family unit.ketostix said:Exactly because feminist, gays and effiminate males aren't completely born that way, they are made.

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.
Oh whatever feminism isn't about equality it's about women having all the advantages and none of the disadvantages. But let's just assume it is about equality. How are you going to do that? Are you going to some how make men have the sexual options the average woman has? Are you going to make sure women die at the same rate in defending the country and on jobs? Equality doesn't mean identical. You see, women had equality before feminism came along.Alle_Gory said:Feminism at its core is about giving women equal rights and equal choice.

How are women being strong by given preferential treatment and and abandoning their feminine roles? I don't blame women for wanting the Sun and the Moon, I blame men and guys like you for supporting them.Don't blame women for wanting to be stronger and independent. Blame these pathetic AFC fathers for raising more pathetic AFC children. In conclusion, the males of our society are too weak and bend over for the women.
It has nothing to do with hating women. You are so naive. You can't strength men and have feminism at the same time. Feminism is take strength and power away from men and giving it to women. men don't need to be strength, they just need the governmental and societal boot taking off their back.The solution isn't to hate on the women or wanting to restrict their development. The solution is to strengthen and empower the men.
Same pay, same legal rights, same opportunities. Feminism in western society is pretty much useless since as you said, things are mostly equal. Feminism's place is more in the 2nd and 3rd world countries where these freedoms don't exist.ketostix said:Oh whatever feminism isn't about equality it's about women having all the advantages and none of the disadvantages.

How are women going to abandon their feminine roles? Its biological. They want to be feminine, they love a strong man, and they have the need to support their man and have kids... etc. Its instinctual.How are women being strong by given preferential treatment and and abandoning their feminine roles?

Wait. Wait. Wait for the uproar.It has nothing to do with hating women. You are so naive. You can't strength men and have feminism at the same time.

I believe in what works and what doesn't. Right and wrong doesn't concern me much. As far as these feminist beliefs, there can be many things right at the same time. The world isn't black and white.I don't want to get in another feminism debate here, but you just dumped your feminist beliefs and interpretations on me and I'll never agree with them.
Although I am not a fan of capitalism in any sense, I do not see how it creates an atmosphere of emasculation....DonGorgon said:capitalism + feminism = emasculation
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.
I think Keto's right about feminism being the major cause of emasculation, but I agree with your solution. You don't have to send women back to the kitchen to make males regain their masculinity. Men just gotta get back in touch with who they areAlle_Gory said:Feminism at its core is about giving women equal rights and equal choice.

Gay men and women have similar brain structures. Hereditary or not, nobody knows. Its could be as a result of development in the womb or it could be completely genetic.ready123 said:btw the gay sht is not hereditary, so I don't know why people are thinking it was supposed to die off in a generation.
Well said! I don't think the problem is that women are becoming more overbearing and independant, it's that men are becoming weak AFCs. Almost all girls I know want to follow the more traditional female roles of childbearers and housewives, and these girls are supposed to be part of the radical new generation. It's not the women pushing feminism, but it's the men pushing feminism. AFC husbands supplicate and allow themselves to be dominated by their wives which causes their marriages to fail. They don't bring up their sons with a sense of pride and masculinity, leading to emasculation.Alle_Gory said:Feminism at its core is about giving women equal rights and equal choice.

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.
