Popeyes
Don Juan
Yea is it a good or bad thing if people have been hearing that you're "pimping" alot of girls.
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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Thats all they said?Ripper said:Don't worry about it dude. My girlfriends tell me it's a good thing.
What do you mean exactly? Elaborate a bit...Popeyes said:Thats all they said?
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
No I just mean like thats not all they said is it? You didn't just ask them about it and they said "it's good", or did they say a bit more, like what goes through their mind when they hear that.Ripper said:What do you mean exactly? Elaborate a bit...
Not sure exactly what you mean by control the situation.Ice Cold said:If you have to ask, it means you don't control the situation and can't take advantage of it.
That's a bad thing.
Oh ok. Just to clear up any confusion if there is any, by 'girlfriends' I mean friends who are girls. They basically said that if a guy has lots of girls writing flirty messages on his wall (facebook) then it's quite clear he's popular and sought after. They (the girls) reckon you can tell quite a lot about someone from who posts on their wall. Also, as long as you're quite popular (and this is where guy friends come in) then you can get away with a lot of sh1t. If you're seen as some PUA or seducer (even if that's what you are!), a sort of lone wolf, then your behaviour is not so easily excused.Popeyes said:No I just mean like thats not all they said is it?

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.
