"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.

As you date someone you get away and let them get away with more.. some quirks some bad ideas, etc. At which point do you think you are as close to not being able to mess it up - where they accept you as you are no matter what? Marriage, after 10 years? 20? It has to be awhile has anyone reached that point, besides telling her you slept with her sister and mother, and want to sleep with underage girls, is there anything that could mess it up?
 

"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.

What? That's like asking "at what point can you just lie down and die?" or your wife asking "at what point can I become a complete fat shrew who never puts out?" you can do it when ever you want to, but just be willing to face the consequences.

At no point. 100% comfort is boring anyway, so it's a good thing.

Tho I have a question- do women EVER tell us everything?

do you think they ever will? esp. in marriage

I think you can get it out of them. At any time.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

You can ALWAYS **** up a relationship no matter what. My best friend from childhood seemingly had the picture perfect family. His Mom and Dad seemed very much in love and they'd been married for 25 years and had 3 kids.

A couple of years ago, I was shocked to learn that they got divorced. Now both his parents have remarried. His mother recently added me on Facebook and it was so weird because since my early childhood, I'd been calling her Mrs. Cooper. But that was no longer her name.

The only person who will love you unconditionally is your mother (if you have a good mother). Every other person you know can and will leave you if you fvck up. Let's put it this way: when Timothy McVeigh was set to be executed, who was there for him in his final moments? Only his mother. Every other person in his life had disowned him (as he should have been).
