She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
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.
Strangely, at this site they come hand in hand...Originally posted by LikRetsam
I believe we were arguing about idiots, not AFCs. Atleast I was.
Firstly, that was no where near as unoriginal as your reply. Secondly, intelligence is not how you spell. Hell I could give a ten year old a dictionary and come back a few years later and they would then have a much wider vocabulary than me or you does that make them more intelligent than us? I thought not.Originally posted by Microphone Fiend
hahaa, how.... unoriginalHow can you be too intelligent to argue with when you can't even spell "response"
I think that you would flame because you agreed with (or condoned, whatever your fancy) how LikRetsam talks to people. Believe it or not, that is flaming.
Saying if you can't handle kill yourself you're not a DJ? Most of the newbies aren't DJ to begin with, but "If you're an AFC, adn you can't handle death threats... maybe sosuave isn't for you"![]()
Go read a book or something... that's my "responce"
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 suggest you take your own advice on this one. You assumed I was trying to fight for the thread starter for some odd reason...My intent was to open the eyes of the newbies to a button called "search".So instead of assuming things with your superior brain try reading my post over again.
