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.
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.
sweet a talking cash register !Originally posted by theSpeculator
I started small chat with the cash register and somehow the conversation lead to a discussion about my looks. When I was about to leave she ended the covo by saying, "I think you are a very handsome man."
you put on 50+lbs of muscle?Originally posted by Colossus
Ive gotten the "your hot" comments on and off throughout my life. It wasnt until I put on 50+ pounds of muscle mass that I started getting it from all types of girls.
Most girls are too shy to just up and tell you, but if they're comfortable w/ you or confident and outgoing, they are more likely to let you know, I think.
Ive gotten everything from "your so cute" to the occaisional "Oh my God he's f*cking beautiful". I dont really let it go to my head as I am a pretty modest guy.
It can be a stellar confidence boost, though. Just my 2 cents.
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.
Then why did you posted it in a "post your picture" thread in the first place? If it was a mistake, then why didn't you go back to re-edit it?Originally posted by Fatality
LMFAO that pic isn't really me. I tried to delete it once but it was too late.
I wish I was that huge.![]()
If anybody here post on the bodybuilding board like Mayhem and getbig you know who that is.
I really didn't think I was talking like i was Brad Pitt or anything.
Very true. When you have true confidence (the kind that comes from deep inside), then you outer appearance (everything from personality to behavior to body language) will reflect it. People will notice your confident and react to it accordingly.Originally posted by stevey_2000
if you have true confidence then you don't care how good looking you are!,
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.

P.S. You're much prettier than me.
This is true, I've heard I'm really handsome lots of times, from friends, family and strangers, but I just can't seem to build any confidence from it. I keep thinking in AFC ways, like I'm not worth a woman or that i should be happy with attention they give me instead of turning it around. Girls never made a move on me and when they do I'm certain I'll interpret it as a joke or something.Originally posted by theSpeculator

The vice versa is true for low self-esteem (low confidence).
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
It was just a joke. I did say that I tried to go back and edit it but it was too late. Why would I say at this point that it isn't me if it actually were?Originally posted by theSpeculator

Intuitively, I think that pictue really is you.

some girls consider me beautiful, others say i'm an ugly ass (which i don't believe). by my standards, i'm a 8, but i think most girls perceive me as a 7, maybe even less. who cares, until i've got even a little game?![]()
This is funny cause most dudes in here and on real life think that Brad Pitt is the best looking guy in the world, and if you dont look like him youre not good looking...Plus men only look at features, women look at features and presentation, so obviously the criteria is different...Sh1t, I dont know how a guy would be able to tell another man if hes good looking or not, unless youre gay, cause women dont look at men the way men do...And like the other guy said, goodlooking guys dont get as much attention from women as good looking girls do from guys...The only issue is if people are lying over the internet, but if these dudes are getting compliments, it does mean something...Originally posted by theSpeculator
I think they are just average. Despite how much they have inflated themselves, I don't think I will mistake them for a movie star or model if I saw them in real life.
The point of this post was not meant to insult, but to put some reality into these claims. Obviously, if these two can easily talk themselves up higher than there really are, then many others can do the same.
