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 could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
You are just repeating nonsense Ukrainian propaganda. If the Chechens were such “vicious fighters”, why wouldn’t the Russians send them into combat against the Ukrainians? Actually they tried, early in the war, and with poor results. The Chechens are good at one thing: guerilla warfare. Hit and run and ambush tactics. When it comes to conventional warfare, they have shown themselves as substandard fighters.They are beside Chechnya, home to arguably some of the most vicious war time fighters on the planet... When Russian soldiers began to defect in the current war in Ukraine, Putin sent in the Chechens to keep them in line and ever since they'd rather die on the front line than be subject to the will of the Chechens, a fate worse than death. The story is the defectors are shot, in truth who even knows what's happening, stories of men being gang raped and beaten to death is just the surface of the story.
That is how many wars have been "won" over time because the attrition over years and years of that happening is simply too costly and too great for the attackers.You are just repeating nonsense Ukrainian propaganda.

Repeating nonsense, I find myself thinking that exact thing every time I read your posts on basically any subject, you just try to be contrarian, like here for example, I never said anything about them being effective fighters at all, you've literally just created a narrative, attributed that narrative to me and then tried to deconstruct it.You are just repeating nonsense Ukrainian propaganda.

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.

I agree with statements that have been objectively substantiated with evidence. The other poster’s suggestion that Putin sent Chechens to Ukraine to keep Russian soldiers from defecting is nothing more than Ukrainian propaganda. There is no evidence for it whatsoever.Not to put too fine a point on it, man, but is there anything at all you agree with?

The suggestion that Chechens are “some of the most vicious war time fighters on the planet” is also statement that is not rooted in objective reality. If they were such vicious fighters, why would they perform so poorly on the battlefield?
