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.
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.
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.
never justified to beat up a girl but you're right, 99% of guys would leave or pretend not to see it happening...I'd be very wary, maybe intervene 'cos I know I can handle myself in a fight but still, that guy's 250lb...~attrACTION~ said:And, why would anyone who is not involved intervene? I mean, if I was in that bar, I would pretend to not even see it happening.
You get involved you may end up in jail. Don't try to play "captain-save-a-hoe" or save someone who may not deserve being saved. Why risk your life for something that has nothing to do with you? Like Skel said, you don't even know what's going on. All you see is a fight. Maybe it was her fault that she is getting battered.
I've also been in a situation where I tried to "take the law into my own hands" so-to-speak and ended up in court because of it. Yes, the situation is messed up, but I would rather not get involved. Anyone with half a brain would agree.
Let me guess, if you saw a guy beating his "girlfriend" in a public place, you would try to save her?
Looks like you get what I'm saying then.ricorico said:Some people who just got there thought I started it and looked at me like I was some sort of bully.

welcome to my block list, dumb assdjSlvt said:AK-74 is more like it, or a shotgun. Sure, if you're in a black neighborhood, who cares. But if you're in a nicer white area, and crap like this happens (which it almost never don't), you'd intervine. You don't have to be big, just carry a lot of balls, no trash talking, go for the chin.![]()
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
I blame the feminists.ricorico said:Did you notice how these 2 guys stood at the bar and did nothing? Unbelievable. Noone stepped in until that 250lb cop seemed to have lost steam. That's when 2 old guys(who probably walked in from outside) tried to help. Those guys that watched it should get and ass kicking themselves.
I would simply leave and find a new bar.~attrACTION~ said:And, why would anyone who is not involved intervene? I mean, if I was in that bar, I would pretend to not even see it happening.
Yup. no chivalry here. This is also what I was thinking.You get involved you may end up in jail. Don't try to play "captain-save-a-hoe" or save someone who may not deserve being saved. Why risk your life for something that has nothing to do with you? Like Skel said, you don't even know what's going on. All you see is a fight. Maybe it was her fault that she is getting battered.
I haven't, but I know someone who has. I'm not repeating their stupid mistake.I've also been in a situation where I tried to "take the law into my own hands" so-to-speak and ended up in court because of it. Yes, the situation is messed up, but I would rather not get involved. Anyone with half a brain would agree.
FVCK NO! Not my problem. Why is she with him anyway? Pretty stupid if you ask me. She gets whats coming for her mistake and I won't be one to take some of the hurt off her shoulders. Dumb broads.Let me guess, if you saw a guy beating his "girlfriend" in a public place, you would try to save her?
It all boils down to conditioning. The white man will stand there and "think", and the black or latino man will "act". The white man (and this is broad generalization) was probably raised in the suburbs, and growing up, the worst thing he had to deal with was being called silly names or getting a black eye from a fistfight. The black or latino man (again, broad generalization) was likely raised inner-city, and grew up around crime and violence. So when a white man is in situations like this, he'll start thinking, "Wow, I'd really like to do something, but I might get hurt, or killed. Worse yet.... I might go to jail." because he's never been in this situation before. The black or latino man will simply react, because he's probably been there before.ricorico said:Why are white men more cowardly than blacks or latinos?
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.
