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 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.
Yeah, I have to agree with that.. I lost a great girl a little while ago because some guy pulled this stuff on her. There should be another thread: "How to keep your girlfriend and not let boyfriend-destroyers affect her."DJ1234 said:Just wondering.....you guys that are wanting to use this stuff...are you even the least bit worried that you're going to lose the girl once you get her after using this and some other guy comes along and uses this $h!t on her and STEALS/SAVES her from you?
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.
Exactly, supposedly there isn't much you can do about it, according to another thread...it's really up to the girl...Axcell said:Yeah, I have to agree with that..

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.
MooseGod said:It all depends on what stage of the relationship she's in. If it's a couple weeks or a month into it, you might have a harder time, whereas if they've been dating for a year and she's sick of his crap but doesn't want to leave the security of a relationship you have a lot better chance.
I might also add that you don't look for LTRs doing this. Any chick who would cheat on her boyfriend with you is likely to do the same with some other guy.

Wouldn't that be manipulation? In the end the girl has to want to be with you not some other dude. The only reasonable option in your case would be to keep her tied up.Axcell said:Yeah, I have to agree with that.. I lost a great girl a little while ago because some guy pulled this stuff on her.

I wouldn't go that far. Strong and smart doesn't necessarily get women, the former helps but the latter rarely does. It's usually about spiking her emotions and acting all fake as if you're Mr Cool and Confident, aka. "game". There are, by my definitions, wusses who have a decent gf. Life isn't always fair, infact it's pretty messed up. Conversely, some guys do deserve their gf (and/or better).mongolboy said:Ye totally agreed this is a DOG EAT DOG WORLD! yall if u dont knowhas been and only the strongest and smartest survive which is why all the wussies never get pussies
Well, this thread is practically all manipulation as well. However, in this case you are manipulating a woman's mind to believe that she can do much better than her current boyfriend, and that you are the better man.Play the Game said:Wouldn't that be manipulation?

If I knew how to do that. I got no goddamn clue.Play the Game said:Remember: You have to build attraction from the start, that way you're put into the potential bf category at the beginning of the game!
