"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.

At what height does a guy stop having a disadvantage?

There is no height disadvantage. If God appeared in the world and was as tall as a mountain, everyone in the world would worship him.
 

"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.

Oh I dunno, the whole thing is fvcked which is one reason why I'm getting married, to put an end to the madness, I'm exhausted! :lol:
Marriage is not a refuge from the sexual marketplace, although a lot of people tend to think that. Ask any married person who has had their partner have an affair.

I said one reason, not the the only reason. ;)
Most people end up married at some point, even Millennials. I think you are a part of the Millennial generation and I sense you're on the earlier side of it.

I do understand most women place a lot of value on height, I'm not so delusional to believe otherwise.
Women do for sure. My experiences playing volleyball are evidence of that.

The most irritating women about demanding a taller partner aren't the 5'10"+ athletic women. It's the short/short-ish 5'0"-5'4" women who demand men 6'0"+.

Oh don't I know it! I know of one chick who is 5'1" and will NOT date a man under 6' and even that's pushing it. She prefers 6'2" and taller.

Her reasoning is she feels safe and protected.

Meanwhile, one of her boyfriends (now ex) who eventually dumped her was 6'3, cheated on her with another woman in their bed, and physically abused her.

But she stayed because he was "big and strong" and she loved how he was able to toss her around in bed.

I kid you not, lord I've seen it all as I'm sure you have as well.
So basically she deserves what she gets? At the end of the day, she might see the light or she doesn't. Like drug users. Some will get over their addiction while others will only get rid of their addiction through death. Self cleaning gene pool.

I’m well under 6’. Most women I’ve dated are/were 5’-5’6 “. I don’t see the above phenomena.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I have known multiple women in the 5'0-5'3" range who have refused me under 6'0". All men. For no good reason. I had a female co-worker at one time. She is a 5'1" woman. She was refusing every man under 6'0" and managing to find men with little difficulty. She was also not finding sustainable relationships. From the looks of her social media, things have not changed either as it has been multiple years since we were co-workers.

Her reasoning is she feels safe and protected.

Meanwhile, one of her boyfriends (now ex) who eventually dumped her was 6'3, cheated on her with another woman in their bed, and physically abused her.

But she stayed because he was "big and strong" and she loved how he was able to toss her around in bed.

Her reasoning has scientific merit but it is taken to an extreme. She has suffered consequences for it but seems unwilling to change her ways. As David DeAngelo once said "Attraction isn't a choice."

She gets vaginal tingles from big guys.

What was David's opinion on dying alone surrounded by cats with half empty box wine?

People love eating sugars and fats. Sometimes people have to understand the realities of life. Like diet books, perhaps there is a market for books that extol realistic standards. Who knows? Oh well.... whatever... if a woman is that stupid, perhaps she should not reproduce...

I'm 5'5", and it's basically OVER for me in the (never communist) West. :mad:

This video about the HeightPill is epic:

Interesting article.

Her figure is quite awful for not being grossly obese, and her forehead is far too long - although otherwise she is cutish - so this needs to be taken with a grain of salt. That said, maybe with this article, short men will become a meme. :rolleyes:

"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.

You haven't heard of "Short King Spring"?
Hmm, even in the gay community, 5'8" men are having a hard time:
Jack Hymowitz, a 24-year-old architect, said even his 5’8″ stature isn’t tall enough for some picky men in New York. In fact, many dudes ghost him when he finally reveals his height on dating apps.

I guess there is some height where a man is too short to even switch teams. :eek::rolleyes: Are gays becoming hypergamous? :eek: :eek: :eek: I had thought they would hit anything. :rolleyes:

Gays are even more picky about looks than women. If one is short, he needs to be GL to compete. Jack H. is not GL.

6'2" here. Doesn't hurt but by no means does it magically attract women. I've noticed many taller men and girls can be slightly shy. What made a much more noticeable advantage was working out and getting my body athletic.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.
