"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

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.

Anybody know of any good articles or posts on trust? or trusting women?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

No, because you can't. Just take it for what it is. That's why you need to forget about women for a little while and work on yourself.

I've decided to stop searching. Stop seeking it until I truly love myself. I post a lot of stuff on here that is spot on, but I've just realized I need to be practice what I preach.

The only way to trust a woman is to be a challenge and keep up the intrigue.

Once you do that, she'll be calling you all the time and buying you stuff.

so you are saying do these things and she won't betray you? aren't there other guys out there that could do the same for her?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Women don't chase guys who are up their butts. They want the guy that's a challenge. It's not even possible for her to chase a guy that's chasing her.

This is a very general question - too general to produce any solid answers.

Are you talking about trust in an LTR? Trust with regards to a ONS? Narrow the scope of your question and then maybe you'll get some feedback.

No, I don't believe he's saying that.

You have to understand that women work on emotions. They are not built on logic. A woman typically will not 'logically' be trustworthy. If you TELL her to not do something, chances are she will. However, if you make her feel as if she should not do something, she probably won't.

This is where being the prize to a woman comes in. If you are always pushing a woman to win you over, then she will 'feel' as if she can't betray you. Why? Because she feels that if she makes a wrong move, she will lose you. However, if she already has you in her grasp, what does she have to lose?

Now this is not to say that you can't love a woman (obviously). You can love a woman as much as you like. The main idea is to keep your life in your own sights and don't become dedicated to hers.

Trust is a complicated thing that cannot be answered as easily as you ask it to be. Most of the time learning the hard way is the only way.

half the answers don't make any sense

he's asking about trust, not "how do I not come across needy". read the question before answering

if it's LTR trust, I'm curious what other people have to say too. only thoughts I have is that it has to be earned, over time it becomes one of the pillars of a meaningful LTR, and it's one of those things you should always qualify the girl for, ONS or not

The answer to TRUST is by being a challenge. A woman who thinks you are the catch (which can't be done by being needy) will not make a wrong move. She'll always make sure she has your best interest at heart.

Even in a LTR, you have to have your OWN life. You have to have your own things you enjoy and love. That keeps you interesting and keeps up the intrigue. Women Stay on their toes for guys like that.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Is it possible to maintain this intrigue at all times? we all have ups and downs. Am I to beoive that if i hit a rough patch I'm gonig to be cheated on? Are n't there other factors that cause wpmen to be distrustful? Maybe she runs into an ex or some other guy that just happens to spark her interest.

I guess I just feel like your sayiing if the women can't be trusted its your fault

If you're dating a woman that you have to worry about, then you have no respect for yourself. In which case, it is your fault. Always find the best for YOU. You don't have to go out and find chicks that will impress everyone else. You have to put up with this b1tch, so you better find one that will add to your happiness and not take away from it.

Can you see where I am going here? I hope so!

You trust a woman once she has demonstrated to you, over time, with consistent actions that she can be trusted. This doesn't mean you assume she's untrustworthy right off the bat. But you don't know until you know.

This is why you qualify women.
 

"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.

I guess I just have a problem with that becsause had i not been skeptical of the last one (and she gave no reason for me to be) i nvestagated anyways and found that she was also seeing another guy. At this point I could still have not known and totaly trusted her. but that relationship was only lik e a month or two old so maybe i shouldn't hold that against her. But it also could be a clue that shes not gonna ever be trust worthy. is it possible for a relationship to build when it starts that way?

Anywas Mavrick and ready have said some interesting things. I guess I just wish i could trust people. i don't like feeling this way. it almost makes me feel like why is trust so important anyway? lol like you know how some people have these relationships where people just take what eachother say with a grain of salt or roll their eyes and let it go cause they just don'rt want to deal with the drama yet still enjoy eachothers company? i find that intersting. ifigure why not just be honest. or does the truth just hurt?

lol that sounds poetic but conceptually it makes no sense

you act like a challenge if you're needy to fake it until internalize a more balanced reality. you act like a challenge by doing push-pull to add intrigue when running attraction game

trust has nothing to do with either. trust is something you use in an ONS to kill last minute resistance and flaking, or something REAL you build over time in a relationship

notice where all these thoughts are coming from - the fear of getting cheated on. instead of trying to be more alpha or whatever, as an anticipated reaction to a girlfriend cheating (AKA if I do this and this and this, then she won't cheat and I won't have to worry anymore), just accept reality. reality is that you can't control everything

if you think that a girlfriend cheating on you is the worst thing that can happen to you, you're not ready for a relationship. the guys that are well-rounded go into LTR's knowing they can't control everything, but if the girl cheats, you don't put a gun to your head. you learn from it and move on

you learn from every failed relationship just like you learn from every failed appraoch. your skin gets thicker and the stuff your friends cry about it, you learn to reframe in a positive way

Bro, what I have really learned is that you are alone in this world. You come in and go out alone. Because people are mostly living in fear right now, they act in ways that aren't really themselves. Learn to trust your intuition, and you will never have to put that trust in other people.

You will feel when someone is being straight with you or not. Right now this is the best way to trust people. Trust your intuition.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.
