"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.

hi guys
been following the forum for a while, and have definitely broken out of my AFC ways, except for temporary slips. Heres the situation - latest female prospect, an insecure HB8 has got me bad, ive used c&f made my self the prize and done everything right until tonight, she has made out with a friend of mine on several occasions, most recently about 10 months ago, but he can hve her around his little finger whenever he wants it, and anyways i got the feeling she was into him again, shes said nothing about it then tonight i just said - "you so want [my friend] again dont you" and she came back with a "yeh well sorta", if this wasn't bad enough, i then went onto tell her i didn't wanna see her hurt. BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD, help please, without telling me the obvious to next her
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Um like yeah that was pretty AFC but I guess there's nothing you can do but move on and not make the some mistake next time.

Dude, if she's interested in your friend, then let it be. Find another chick and move on. You've already kinda messed things up with this girl. Your friend's got her and let him have her. There are tons of other (hotter) girls out there.
 

"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.

Wow. This sounds like my situation right now.

I asked a chick to the formal. She said yes. Then she started dating and making out with my friend. Then they broke up. But hes a DJ, so he can have her whenever he wants. The other day my friend asked her if she wants him back and she "well .. yeah sorta".
If it was any other chick I would next her. But I asked her to the formal and she said yes. I found out later she actually wanted my friend to ask her. So I'm screwed.
Any tips on what to do?

You tolerate these situations? That is only going to get you into more of them.

I don't tolerate this drama BS. I never get it either.

Ok, and for my situation, are you saying I should just tell her the formal is off? Thats rude.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

that my friend is a chick test. a test that u handled pretty poorly i might add! first of all... u must assume she likes you b/c well.... who wouldnt second of all... if ur gunna be tlakin about who she likes , it better be somthing along the lines of " wow, you relaly like me dont you " . u shouldnt sell the idea that ur friend likes her : thats just wrong. neway dont let it bother u , tease her with attention and bust her balls and **** should end up allright
cheers :woo:
