"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.

At what height does a guy stop having a disadvantage?

So at what height does a guy stop facing a height disadvantage even in the tallest countries?
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.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
 

"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.

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:

"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.

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.
 

"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.
