"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.

Are we really living in the reality we believe?

Have you ever wonder if we're not in the reality we believe we are?

I'm not talking about a matrix style simulation altough some things like dejavus are clearly interesting and the official explanation is not really that convincing.

I often see similarities between our lifes and softwares where a programmer can create an event that force the software to act in a certain way.

Think of the macro environment in terms of politics and economics working as a operation system update which necessarily lead secondary software to evolve themselves.

Also phenomenons which are hard to explain as the fibonacci sequences on organic growth or mathematical formulas that basically code what we find attractive and what is not.

Wheter we observe a flower or the proportions of a statue we can see precise numbers.
 

"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.

Indeed, if one has the time to ruminate in these subjects it can get kinda weird. Our whole universe could be a speck of dirt in the grander scheme. I trouble myself with more mundane issues since it’s a crazy maker. Now if I could plug my head in and become a grand master at shotokan that would be cool…heh

Our reality can only ever be what we experience.

It does not matter if it is code based; our conscious experience is the same.

No. It's all an illusion. We're all being watched like in The Truman show.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Reality is what you see before you interpret anything. What most people call truth these days is for the most part their interpretation of reality.

Deja Vu is more likely to be a result of how we process memories of similar past events. Memory is not as tell reliable as most people feel comfortable believing.

Mathematics is a system invented from our observations of reality, not the other way around. The plants were always this way, then we came along and invented a simple way to express what we saw.
