"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.

Same with skinny girls, they always think they're fat, but the fat girls have other things to worry about. You can learn a lot from eatgel. Dont worry your mind with bullsh1t like this. thats all i can tell you.
 

"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.

I think this applies most clearly to online personals... women who say "only message me if you're 6' or taller" filter responses ruthlessly from men who are 5'11" or shorter.
That's why having game is so important - most women waive a surprising number of "requirements" when someone that attracts them is right in front of them.

About 1/3 of the time, I am measured at 5'8". The other 2/3s, 5'7".

Yes, it sucks. Bugs me too, though maybe not as bad as it does the OP.

Hey wutang,

can you describe how you managed to rid yourself of this obsession? Was it something that just gradually happened of its own accord, or did you take specific steps to deal with it?

be grateful to get some advice from a guy who was once in my shoes, so to speak.

I'm 5'7 and rarely ever think about it. Every girl I've ever dated has always been like 5'6 so as long as she isn't wearing heels never thought to much about it.

I guess my prom pics looked funny back in the day, but I could care less...
 

"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.

There's no way that 5'9 is average height in the US. I've heard that before and it always makes me wonder where the hell these people are getting their statistics from. I'm 5'11 and I think I'm below average height.
they count mexicans and asians into the statistics. not to be racist to you guys, i love mexicans and asians (and t heyre food) tod eath. but most of them are short. i think thats a fact. dude, 5'9" aint bad at all, shouldnt stop you from doing what you wanna do in life. man up.
