You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
'Toxicity' was never part of the manosphere and your other post is filled with pc BS. I can see that SS now is made for a different cut of man... its certainly been modernized. When mods in charge of ban hammers are liking your post, the dudes on this forum need to be worried. At least the ones who were part of the manosphere before it attracted all the 'wildlings' from the other side.
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.
I get the impression, from the Internet, that dating has become much harder for a number of men. It makes sense that some of these guys come here for help.
Had that happen to me many times. Thought she was interested, she wasn’t, she was just being friendly. Next time I thought a girl was “just being friendly” I didn’t take it any further and turns out she was interested.
There’s a lot of positive stuff here,but there’s also just as much,if not more,negative stuff here.The trick is distinguishing between the two.There are threads I don’t even waste time checking out anymore.Completely counterproductive.A lot of the time I find revisiting older sources of game to be more beneficial,but once in a while a gem or two gets dropped on here.
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.
Its been this way since pandemics, this ehemm man simping.. Nothing new. Till vaccination complete, expected less supply than demand.
Im 6'1, good facial, norwood 0 soon.. Cant waiit till this pandemics over.. Doing lots of great self improvement taking advantages of this pandemic era.
Dude thats not about freakin game, its about what the women need at the moment and similarity that they shared, they could be trashed wackup psycho couple than you are, you just need to find women share same quality as you. Maybe a hot nerdy boring shlt girl for you? Same As yourself? . No offnce just saying if you vibe with someone you will smooth sailing from there.
Vibing is easy. That's not it either. I've had a ton of dates where the girl complimented me on my convo skills and said she feels like we have such a connection but nothing. Vibing isn't the thing, it's game that matters.
Same. It’s gotten to the point I assume women are just trolling me and no matter which direction I go, they will react the other way
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.
So why are you wasting your time talking about that?
I agree, but don’t use conditions for people with special needs to insult people with naïve behavior. It’s frankly very insensitive and makes you seem like a real prick.
But I am a real prick.I agree, but don’t use conditions for people with special needs to insult people with naïve behavior. It’s frankly very insensitive and makes you seem like a real prick.
That being said, I do wish people in today’s society were less sensitive. It’s turned into a Karen-filled society if I’m being honest.
I know you’re probably going to make fun of me now for defending people who were born with a condition, but I hope I got my point across to any non-pricks out there.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Ok, just thought I would let you know that you should probably go make fun of special needs people on other forums than this one. Thanks budBut I am a real prick.
Don't be retarded dude and I ain't your buddy, guy.
Wasn’t being passive aggressive, just being friendly. Sorry Karen.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
