"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

My friend has been insulting me recently. When I ask him the reason he says it is because I am sensitive. I have offered him to fight me on the terms that if I am the obvious victor then he must cease to insult me, if he wins than he has the right to insult me. He has refused this offer...but today I plan to force it upon him in person and if he refuses then he cannont insult me any longer. Does this seem like a good reason to fight? Why else would one insult another if not to challenge?
 

"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.

He says he is kidding...But when I ask for the reason he insulted me and he says "to see how you would react" and in some cases "I'm just kidding chill out youre too sensitive." I am pretty sure the reason for this is his insecurities, however I will not allow him to feed off of me. Even thought is it possible he is just "messing around" he fails to comply with my request to stop, and mistakes my sense of honor and pride to be sensitivity.

Just hit him next time he does. If you want to fight him for it just do it, don't make it out to be some challenge or something. If you kick his ass, then odds are high that he will stop. If not, it's not worth it to be his friend.

That's only b/c he sees its getting to you so he is getting a kick out of your response.
He's not going to fight you b/c to him its a joke and he's not too serious about it.
But if he doesn't stop, you're going to have to cut the friendship short. A real friend doesn't have fun at the expense of another's emotions......
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Maybe he's jealous because you get the girls and he doesn't.

been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt

Just cut him loose and see if he comes back. Chances are good that he will come back after being away for so long. I've done this and it works for me a lot. True friends come back. A$$holes that have alternate reasons will not come back. Try it because you can't do any worse with this kid. If he continues to do it again and again after this, just say "goodbye" because goodbye is a goodbye and it is a very strong word to use on someone.

You have better things to do then get mentally abused like self-improvement and gaining true confidence. Plus fighting is for weaklings who can't figure something out on there own. Don't fight besides what does it prove. Whose the biggest idiot or something? He is proving that he is already an idiot by making fun of you. So don't fight.

Yeah but I want him to KNOW he's the biggest idiot.

Oh, How could I be so stupid? How could I have possibly forgot that you want revenge?

Snap the fvck out of it, you are getting revenge. If you don't talk to him for a long time and he sees you getting tons of tail and you with your new friends going out cruising and picking up chicks. Isn't that revenge? Knowing that he can't go out on the town to pick up chicks with you, isn't that revenge enough?

Revenge is for weaklings and I don't see you as a weaking because you are on this site.

If you still want to make him suffer, go pick up a lot of chicks in front of him and show him how good of a time you are having without him. I did this to my one friend for doing this. He came back because he wanted to have fun. Good luck with your friends.

EDIT: This stuff happens to almost any guy on this board that took this stuff seriously. Good luck though. There will always be people who are trying to tie you down with mediocricity. You got to fight it. I fight it every day and I succeed where so many others fail.
 

"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.

KICK HIS ASS. AND/OR CUT HIM LOOSE.

I've cut my friends loose who try/used to fvck with me.
And then challenge people in fights who try to fvck with me.

Football players don't take ****.
And that should be your motto.

I had the same problem a while ago but u jus got to adapt with them, i mean for me there were some thigns that caused it, if he is just saying he's joking start fiering the so called "jokes" to him , and then he will be in a position that he would not know what do to, then he would stop.

That sounds so wrong.

My advice is to get new friend(s). Like I always try and have tons of friends, so I can easly switch between them. But it's easy to make new friends.

the best thing to do is playfully punch him in the stomach (pretty hard, he has to feel it) and say "how funny, man!" in a sarcastic way.

or you can pretend you are very upset for what he said (always in a joking manner, letting everybody know that you are not serious) and say "what the fùck man" pushing him. then, after a few pushing around, AMOG him by putting a arm on his shoulders and laughing it away with him

Take his advice...and stop being so sensitive. Why are you taking it so seriously? Especially if...he might be kidding? Are you so insecure about yourself? DON'T FIGHT HIM. DON'T. That would only bring you MORE problems...have you thought about the consequences of fighting? It would only make you like an irrational, hotheaded, insecure fool.

Dish it back out at him? It's all in fun, take it LIGHTLY. If you really can't stand it...why are you still hanging around him? Don't waste your time if he's not worth hanging around.

Pride...arrogance...self-righteousness...that stuff will really kill you, man. Learn to let go...
 

"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.

Guys, calling him too sensitive i dont think is helpful :eek: yes a suprise i know, because the reason hes pissed at this "friend" of his is because he called him too sensitive!!

Does this kid have a lot of friends? Does he have more than you?
If the anwser to one of those is 'yes' then hes prolly just a jerk messin with one of his 'friends' bc he knows u can be spared. If it is 'no' then he probably really does want to be your friend.
Please what do you say to these? I'd say just forget the jerk if hes acting like one. Tell him, seriously without laughing, "Why are you being such a jerk", devoid of any emotion except curiosity and a little hurtulness.
If he says some smart remark or something stupid, you should get rid of him. Right Away.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.
