"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.

The one thing I regret not dropping out earlier maybe not playing a sport you?
 

"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.

For fvck's sake...:rolleyes:

Anyway I have no real regrets about high school. It's been awhile so perhaps I remember it better than it was but it was cool.

And honestly, it gets better.

I've been an outcast in high school, never had a friend, never spoke to anyone, people laughed at me. I can't say that I have regrets about high school. My only regret is discovering DD and sosuave at 25 years old and not at 12.

I found the website around 15 or 16 years old. It saved my @$$ in high school from going psycho :trouble:

The only thing that I regret was not switching schools in high school. I just couldn't shake the weak persona that I had follow me throughout high school. Once I went to PGST and College, I was able to shake that persona.

Now I am a completely changed person, the only thing that I can say to high school students is "life goes on after high school." No matter how cliche it sounds, it is very true.

should have skipped a grade or 2 and go straight to college full time instead of doing the college night classes at 16. Good times at those classes, but they make high school look like a joke at the time.

should have played puck instead of running track and playing golf. probably would have been able to play juniors not that the parents would have committed to anything like that anyway.

I wish I had an advanced knowledge of STD's, a 'b!tches aren't sh!t' attitude and then fvcked a lot of the little young slvts in high school. The good thing about not fvcking those slvts was I didn't catch all of the nasty STD's that a lot of those slvts probably had, and I didn't get any money-sucking womb sh!tlets or psycho problem baby-mothers. A lot of the young teenage boys who get lots of pvssy have those problems because they don't know any better.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

A universe...where heartbreak and sadness have bee
Tons. Water under the bridge.

In about 10 years, people who I envied in high school will have regrets that they couldn't live more like me. :p

There were a couple of girls literally throwing themselves at me that I blew off entirely. I made up for it as time went on though. Other than that everything went over well enough. They should call high school "practice years" because none of it really matters when it comes down to it.

I regret not getting A's which I could have gotten easily if I wasn't so concerned with meaningless bullsh*t. I was under the impression that High School was a social club, which I guess a lot of people are. I thought failing was no big deal, even "cooler" than getting A's.

Sh*t guys! So many of you are 30s, or hitting 30s. We'll gather together in an elderly home someday and do a bootcamp.

No high school regrets, but tons of college ones. I was happy with where I was at in high school, even though I had little success with women, it didn't bother me. College though, I regret so many decisions I made I can't even count them; where I lived, who I socialized with, my major, the list goes on.

I'm a few months removed from graduating, and my major regrets are years in the past, so they are getting easier to deal with.
 

"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.

I really could have used this site when I was in high school. H.S. was just a chain of oneitis and hanging out with loser friends.

I would have been much better off joining a sport and getting a different circle of friends.

Sports have been the biggest influence in my life as far as meeting new people. Just joined a coed softball team that starts in a few weeks, pumped to start.

When I was in high school, everyone kept telling me, "You should get involved with a sport.". But, they NEVER told me WHY. So, I never tried it.

It took years for me to realize that it greatly expands your social circle and makes it way easier to get girls.

So I was the nerd, e.g. valedictorian in high school and summa c&m laude in college, but didn't get so much as a kiss until 27.

i wish i would have played football I'm 5'6 230lbs of muscle and fat. I would have been a beast as an running back or wide receiver. I also wish I would have not dropped out. I was working at the time. I should have been more social. I'm way more social now but still no friends. I'm gonna start taking bjj and hope to join army

No point thinking about the past.

It can provide no real answer until you stop being frustrated about it.
 

"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.
