Master Don Juan
I feel like this season is the most toxic one by far. Everything the manosphere/black pill preaches has been highlighted in this season.
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.
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.
Which makes sense, younger women don't have to go on these shows unless they are looking for clout, but a college-age 20-24 year old women they have options IRL. (I think Taylor was 25 and she looked like she was 30)Agreed with the post above.
Also, anyone notice most of these Netflix dating shows the women are significantly older than the men?
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.
Izzy has some personal shvt to work through. Stacy I actually thought was a straightforward girl for her age and income level. They were never a good match.SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED THE SEASON FINALE
Izzy had his redpill moment here when he said "I can do everything for her and love her as a 29 year old she is 33 and single and only wants to date rich 45 year old no wonder she isn't married"
well duuuh You're the guy Stacy loves to bang but you being broke is a deal breaker, not gonna lie this episode is the best that Stacy has looked all season but for 33 she does look 43. The reality is if you date upperclass women money matters, maybe with a lower class or middle class woman they wouldn't have mind Izzy not being rich but to Stacy money matters a lot and it's obvious. Personally, I don't see Stacy getting married to a rich guy unless he is in his late 40s or early 50s, she is not that hot and for a pilates instructor it's a shame she has no ass. I think Izzy can also get hotter women but eventually money is going to matter if you wanna deal with a certain caliber of woman
Milton and Lydia getting married was cute to watch but I would be shocked if they last 3 years, there rumors that there is already trouble in paradise
The sad part is 20 years ago Izzy would be married already and give him another 10-20 years with the right wife and he could be a high earner as long as he stays motivated, and has the right women backing him. Stacy wants a winner already and the problem is she is to mid for the trophy wife aesthetic and a rich guy is not gonna allow Stacy to boss her around unless he's beta or obese. We all know Stacy doesn't want that but the guys who are rich her age (which there are in Texas but few) are either already married or can get a hotter, younger version of stacy who is more cooperative and emotionally availableThe issue with Stacy is that she is chasing a myth. She wants an Izzy with the money of an older rich guy which is a dream never coming true. The reasons she is still single is because she doesn't want to have to put with the cons of dating a rich older guy, but she cannot give up the bag lol. She could've easily dated Milton, but of course he is too nerdy for her which is the case for younger guys with their shvt together. Izzy is just a typical 29 year old guy that found his stride later in life and is trying to rebuild his foundation, nothing wrong with that at all. I hope he continues to improve himself and find him an upgrade.
I actually like Stacy she seems like a cool chick but the problem with Stacy is the same problem I've found with most chicks that are 35+(I know she is 34) they tend to be less emotionally available compared say a 25 year old, a bit jaded and surreal standards. You can find a woman who is 25 looks, hotter younger than Stacy and they are just happy just going to Fogo De chao once in awhile or doing take out and Netflix and chill. Stacy wants to fly first class and be in Turcs and Caicos just go on her Instagram and you can see what time she is onStacy seems cool to me tbh. The points about her expectations are all true though. Future cat lady. She’s not hot enough nor young enough for her expectations. She’s not a bad girl otherwise.
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.
