"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.

Are you happy with yourself?

Really think about it, are you really happy with yourself or are you pretending to be to get someones attention. No reason to lie to yourself.

I believe some of the most chased after men are ones that are really happy with themselves, not super ****y, girls see that after a while. But ones that do NOT need a girl in their life to be happy, but having a girl in their life does make it even better but is not needed. That is when girls seem to really push, they want to feel needed.

I have been hanging with a few girls in the same social circle and they literately are bringing out the claws to try to get my attention, one was making out with every girl I was dancing with one night just trying to get some attention from me, because I did not need any of them to have a good time but boy did they want me to need them.

It is not easy to get there, not every day will be happy, but you have to keep that in mind. Find something you don't like about yourself and make it better. Looks/fitness are great but not always needed. Not so great looking guys can pull girls from the buff dudes as long as they know that they are the **** and that no women can bring them down, sometimes trying less is more.

"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.

Its the law of abundance. A woman can smell the ability of a man to get many many other women.

When everything in your life is going great, people can sense that and they want a piece of that.

"It is only after we have lost everything, that we are free to do anything."

If you can be happy naked, in a crowd full of people laughing at you, with no home, no possessions, then you can be happy with ANYTHING better.

Eye of the storm
The realization that everything is derived from emotions and the function of emotional pain is to pull things apart and the function of happiness is to put things together, this blew my mind. Mastering both leads to compassion and wisdom, and is the peak of human potential. Understand and practice this, when you understand the process all else falls in the right place. I find it to generate extreme feelings of happiness and a strong desire to live out my potential to help others. A desire to explore and the confidence to do so is a result of this, thus finding a girlfriend is downprioritized. Although I consider this the main function of this drive.

Create your philosophy as you go along, and make it a point to correct yourself and your knowledge according to new observation. Pook had a refined understanding of this "as you think you shall become". Learn to live an live to learn. Don't belive this, make an effort to understand.

Interpersonal relationships aren't the same as economic processes. Actually a woman can tell if other women like a man because she can see him.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I would be a lot happier if I didn't have an iningual hernia as of late. Other than that I'm quite happy with myself.

Luckily for women they don't need to be comfortable and content with themselves while single
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

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.

I disagree, women do not have some special physic ability. But any person can tell the difference between a very happy person, and an unhappy person.

If your truly you happy, or appear to be truly happy, that will attract other people. If you walk around looking sh!tty all the time, people will avoid you.

Women are going to be attracted to happiness, not like a fagy flamboyant happiness, but a clam, masculine, assertive happiness.

No one has to. But would you want to spend time with a woman is negative and sh!tty all the time?

I wouldn't. But I guess some guys may not care.

Oh to answer OP. Nope, I'm not happy with myself. But I force myself to keep going, and I just believe that life gets better.

well I would at least have sex with her, just probably not date her, but for us guys, if we are not happy with ourselves, we don't even get a kiss!, but still it looks worse in guys if a guy is not happy or comfortable and content with himself while single than vice-versa, for a lot of guys if we were getting laid or had a girlfriend it would automatically make us feel better about ourselves, install us with confidence but unfortuneately girls expect guys to have something we are into in our lives that we make more pleasurable than sex

I would agree yes just have sex with her. But if she is your only plate, your going to get emotionally attached, and then the sh!t storm will start.

This is why one of the most vital pieces advice on this forum is to spin plates. Any man who is only spending time with and fvcking one women, your going to catch feels. Doesn't make you a beta, it makes you a normal human man.
 

"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.
