"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.

I think the world will end, as we know it, before that scenario occurs. Look at what happened this year so far and we have not even hit September or November.
People have been saying this every generation for hundreds of years if not longer.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

To be fair, it's no guarantee you're gonna live that long anyway so you might not even need to worry about getting that old

you spend more effort on your inner life and enjoying people. The stuff you never had time for. My father is at the end of his life. You can see he is scared sometimes but not all the time. My ambition is to have his calm and acceptance when my time comes

Is he religious?
 

"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.

In some ways a quick sudden death is better than being old and detoriating...

He was raised catholic and went to church regularly. He is a very intellectually powerful man i suspect his real beliefs are probably a bit more sophisticated

Buy plenty of pyjamas & comfy slippers If you’re worried about getting old & it’s already started be thankful for the opportunity. Many people don’t make it. Take it in your stride & do it gracefully. Stay as fit as you can. Keep your teeth in good condition & if you’re losing your hair shave your head. A lot of men let themselves go way to early because they think they’re getting too old. Embrace it.

I mean really old... When you ache all the time, can't move well... Need others to help you accomplish tasks you see as simple today. Examples tying shoes, walking up stairs etc....

Sucky part of the life process if you ask me

Carpe diem!
Nope I have the balls to shoot myself if it gets that bad

Philosopy is a classic way to be ready to face death
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Especially the Roman Stoic philosophers. They talk a great deal about old age and death. " 'Rehearse death.' To say this is to tell a person to rehearse his freedom. A person who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave."

Personally, I'd rather go out with a bang than a whimper. When I become too old and feeble and have outlived my usefulness I will hopefully commit suicide or die pushing myself to my limits. In the mean time I will surely do everything I can to stay as fit and healthy as possible. I have every intention as being as strong and capable in my 40s and 50s as I am now.

Too many people just give up on taking care of themselves, their mental and physical health detoriorates, and they cling to life until their last breath. A wretched, pathetic existence in my opinion.

I'm 59. Some of you sound like bitches. Don't be such bitches. Exercise daily, yoga and cardio are great for any age. They will keep you strong, fit, balanced and flexible. And yoga classes are great for getting female attention. Those bitches will lust after you, even bitches in their 20s if you're in a college town. There is no good reason other than lazieness, why you can't be strong, fit and active well into your 80s when you fall over dead if you'll just get off of your ass and stay off of it.
