"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.

"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.

For chicks, try to work all of the senses. You also need at least one chickcentric item. On one of the David D interviews a guy suggests a fountain, even a cheap one. It's a good excuse for her to come back to your place.
My tastes are very eclectic. I want my crib to embody who i am, where i've been and where i'm going.
The living room is going to have really comfortable vibe to it.
BIG SCREEN
COMFY SOFA/LOVE SEAT/RECLINER
LATEST VIDEO GAME systems (Ps2, XBOX 360)
Surround Sound system
some huge floor plants for a laid back vibe.
a wood book case
The bedroom is going to have a "South Beach" type vibe to it. Really tropical and sexy.
Huge king size bed.
TV (32 inch flatscreen)
plants
some neon lights
a hammock
some water effects
mirrors
Now here is the thing...I am going to have a finished basement that i'm going to turn into a boom boom room. Stripper pole, insane audio system, wet bar, pool tables, black jack table, i mean i'm going to turn it into an underground strip club. that will come with time though. i'm going to have to round up some serious dough for this project
"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.
Bible_Belt: The foosball table is a good idea, but not much room for that right now. I'm on a waiting list for a 2 bed with an ocean view, so maybe then. The one chickcentric item is a good idea. Been looking at some fireplaces. Fountain sounds very cool too.
Casino: You da man! I like the tropical idea, and the boom boom room... un-freaking-believable! Just the kind of feedback I was looking for.
Keep those ideas coming!

I was stationed down in GTMO BAY cuba for 1 year and a couple of us built a Tiki Bar on our back porch.
Get some bambo, thatch and dry grass for the top. Tiki torches for lighting and of course those little owl hanging lights. you can get pretty creative with the actual bar if you want. if i lived in a warmer climate i wouldn't hesiate to do this. pretty cheap project and you can actually charge $$$ for drinks if you got enough people stopping by.
Oh I almost forgot. A nice touch to an awesome bachelor pad is a beautiful fish tank stocked with some exotic fish.
If you could find an old fashioned Phone Booth that would be so freaking money..i don't even know where to come across those maybe EBAY but that would be the ish.
get creative with it..i want my place to be like a little mini vacation everytime i walk in the front door.
one more thing...If you know how to work the system you can get most of your bachelor pad essentials free at Rent A center places
"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.

Oh yea, if you were to do this, don't get plants that attract bugs and stuff, or at least the wrong kind.

Plants convert CO2 into O2. What a counterbalance to what we do! Converting O2 into CO2.

Information, baby. Use it!
"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.
