Master Don Juan
Feminist
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.
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.
Its a bit hard not to, half the board is filled with your bitterness. I'm actually thinking you're secretly a nutcase feminist trying to give men a bad rep.( . )( . ) said:Ahh my venomous E-stalker owns me again. I just cant compete.
Woah easy there tiger, no need to get all personal over......err whatever you got all sand in your vagina over.diplomatic_lies said:Its a bit hard not to, half the board is filled with your bitterness. I'm actually thinking you're secretly a nutcase feminist trying to give men a bad rep.
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.
No LTR's are not the be all and end all of what a man of worth looks for, thats a chicks reality. And what do you mean by "playing games" ?MysticViews said:2. The other thing that I was curious about...I know there are a lot of 'don juans' here, but don't most of you want to settle down in a long term relationship and stop playing games?

:crazy:diplomatic_lies said:t!tboy is one of our fine examples of bitter men who hate women.
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.
