"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Atleast give some time to think about it, how it will affect you weeks and months from now.
well it would have been nice if i made it, but i caved in and lost it.... nothing to debate......on top of that, this is a bad time for me to start doing this, i'm starting a buisness and i'm stressed and scared and I need some comfort.... I might start again at the end of this month...
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.

--6th June to 24th December--
Day 4/202


spider, what business you starting man? Anyway, there's always excuses, but the best time is now.

I blew it twice since I started, but I just get up again. I know how crappy it is to keep losing it, but I'm determined to solve this and don't want to have to put it on my 2007 resolutions list so I'm gonna solve this and get right with God.

This smacks of puritanism and self-loathing. If you think excessive masturbation is hurting your chances, why not restrict yourself until you've got 20 numbers or approaches or something then treat yourself to a great big pornathon.Nautica Thorn, she's my favorite (and coincidentally looks quite similar to my new girlfriend).

The most positive aspect of masturbation (besides the pleasant feeling) is that you can use it as an opportunity to practice control.

control? if you can't even resist the urge to look at porn and wank, you want to talk about bigger things? oh wait, you say "bah how hard can it be, well give it a try".

Beyond spiritual cleansing, there are practical aspects to not wanking, see the original thread by pendo and read how people's lives became more constructive.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

No I say 'bah that sounds difficult and pointless.'

I feel spiritually cleansed after ejaculation, not by abstaining from it. I don't feel guilty about it, although I have barely had a chance lately. Like I say, by all means cut down, but I see no reason to torture yourself over something fun and natural. Lot of Catholics in this thread I reckon.
