"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

This does NOT look like a person with mental issues AT ALL:

Are you being serious or sarcastic? In text, it's unclear to me.
 

"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.

I used to think home schooling made you weird and detached and incapable of forming normal relations with others.

Today I realize that with the amount of whôresh!t kids are fed and fed and fed at school, there's no way I'd let any child of mine (not that I can have any) set foot in a public school. Hell no.

That wikipedia page says she has Tourettes, synesthesia, depression, and vegetarianism (lol). I've heard her talk about all that except the depression. I'm a little skeptical, she's a wealthy young California kid who jas probably had her own therapists and analysts since age six.

First off, what teenager doesn't suffer from depression at times?
Tourette's, it's possible she might have it, but then again it could be an excuse for when she makes a weird face in public (like when she took flak at the Oscars for making a face during Maya Rudolph and Kristin Wigg's act).
Synesthesia is interesting, but it sounds like it might be something they would make up and put out there because it makes her sound cool and gifted. "I see music as colors, doesn't everyone?".
I guess all that could relate to your "nuts in the head" comment.
I was going back to her upbringing and her thought process of life. Not like Psycho; but that cannot be ruled out these days.

Well, then why so much bitterness, is what I wonder.
No bitterness. I take everything in stride. We're cool dude.

I dont know who she is and I dont know any of her songs but those eyes are telling me to stay away.

She could fill an application to portray satan in the next bible movie.

Yeah, let's all band together in berating a man's daughter who's barely even out of adolescence and attack her character in his presence, even though none of you have actually even met her in person.

Such honorable, mature men.

Are you all failed musicians who Envy her massive success at such a tender age, when you've made nothing of yourselves with twice the time?

She's an adult celebrity.. It's all fair game.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

Well, to be fair, of course she dresses weird, she's a pop star. Have you seen Lady Gaga?
Even in my day, the musicians dressed to look apart. Long hair, hippie attire, KISS, Elton John. Gwar, Buckethead, Slipknot.

How many of the aforesaid can be considered mentally sane by conventional standards? They are all a bunch of weirdos and freaks and the fact that they are popular musicians doesn’t change that.

So you're saying celebrities aren't worthy of being granted the same level of respect as you'd have others give an obscure guy like you? Sounds a little irrationally entitled, doesn't it?

Don't fools deride that which they are too ignorant to understand?

Nope. They selected to put their lives out in the public arena, that means there are no boundries; aside from illegal ones. Why are your panties in a bunch? Is it that time of the month?

Only Conceited and thus Insecure men resort to flimsy attempts to emasculate other men just for disagreeing with them. Were you the schoolyard bully too?

But the point is: I take it you don't have a daughter -- or if you do, it's clear she's neither beautiful nor talented.

And just what level is that? Am I to endure yet even more of your expressions of self-love and your false perception that you're superior to other men -- or are you to disappear because you're too proud to confront your follies?

What I was trying to get at is:
How much of that is real and how much is just part of the act?
