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.
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.
this is good, how should you say this above, in a joking tone or a serious tone?bukowski_merit said:I learned this from someone i respect greatly.
When in situations like this - say something like, "is he hot? want to do a threesome with him?"... then... WATCH HER REACTION!
You'll learn if it's a sh!t test or genuine interest from her to him.
And at that point - you move accordingly.
Probably no reasonable person would expect her to cut him out of her life after a knowing him forever,however, if she is in an exclusive relationship with you she is obligated to extend to you some fundamental courtesies.lifemisspent said:She has knows this guy forever and been friends for a long time. Now that she is dating me is she supposed to not hang with him anymore ?
a tone that she can't really read... something in between... she can't know if you're serious or not.big weezy said:this is good, how should you say this above, in a joking tone or a serious tone?
most women will put something like that through a filter. even if she would love to do a 3some with you and him - she will have up her ASD (anti-slut defenses). So what she says isn't so important as how she reacts the instant you say it.big weezy said:and what reaction should you be expecting etc? i.e. if this reaction this means that, if that reaction means sh1t test.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Well, according to your own way of looking at these things, she's is not allowed to meet up with any male, including a platonic friend. Don't know if they are platonic, but it seems like you are the one who can't handle contact between her and ANY men.lifemisspent said:I totally diasgree of " friendships " between attached women and men ( I dont know if he is attached or not )
Apparently she is.lifemisspent said:But we are not seeing anyone alse
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.
