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.
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.
All I can say is, it's about time.The end of the adulterous gravy train
No, it's helping to make sure that the guy being held responsible was actually responsible for the child.The proliferation of these tests is worrisome to Nina Selvaggio, president of the National Organization for Women's Massachusetts chapter. Not because she thinks they shouldn't be available, she says, but because ''it's perpetuating a culture that says there's a way to get out of being responsible."
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.

I will donate my DNA to them and spread my seed that way-without the obligation.
However, on the other side of the coin, if you found out that your "son" wasn't yours, what would you do then? What if it was 3 years later? 5? Would you feel like you wasted your time because you were raising someone elses kid?Originally posted by spider_007

An abligation of a man is to be a FATHER some day, and raise a MENTALY helthy child (not an orphin). Part of the responsability of a man/father is to take care of the family, including his woman and his child. I do how ever agree that every child should be tested to make sure who the father is. We live in an age where "we all sleep around". Men and woman. NO BODY (WOMAN OR MEN) can be trused in this situation because there IS A LOT riding on the results. The entire lives of pepole involved can be changed ON ONE DECISION (of a scared emotional woman). If I ever found out I had a son somewhere, I WOULD take the resonsability, and I WOULD be a good father no metter what.
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.
It is. It's called "Springer" or "Maury".Originally posted by dietzcoi

what's your point (feel free to call me slow, but i don't see it)?Originally posted by Luveno

No. You'd love your kid, even though he isn't related to you at all. However, what this brings into it is the hell of a divorce. I'm lucky; my parents divorced before I was self-aware. Most kids don't have that privilege.
this might be just MY point of view but yes you are. You are gona let some poor woman try and raise your son by her self, just so that your not inconvenianced. I was raised by a single mother, I know haw though it was for her. If you are not gona be a man, and take your responsability as a father, then you shouldn't be alowed to have kids.Originally posted by Luveno
I'm going to bypass all that drama by being a father in only the biological sense. It is a choice and does not make me a coward.
yes the rules have changed. I agree. But if you do run into that rare breed of quality women, I hope your not too blined by the ignorance and are able to recognize happynessOriginally posted by Luveno The rules have changed. This is not the all-american 50s anymore with the "nuclear family". Welcome to Babylon. I'm going to look out for my own interests first in this world.[/B]
Well considering that this is internat and that there are many nationalies on there, from meny different countries, and some of who speak more then one or two languages, i'd say im doing puirty damn good. As for my boss, he is a fvckin engineer, and he isn't much better at it then me. (i'll excuse your ignorance for now)Originally posted by Luveno Also, learn how to spell. It will save you future embarrassment from someone who counts, like your boss. [/B]
