"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So I'm a giver. A trait I aquired from my mum.

To pretty much all my friends, I give things. The other day I bought an inexpensive Christian necklace for my friends sister. Day before I got another one of my friends a magazine he really wanted, but couldn't get locally.

Basically, I just enjoy giving people small gifts once in a while. Sometimes I go out to town, find a poor starving black kid (they're everywhere in this country) and just go and get him whatever he wants from the store.

But for the life of me, I can't get over getting my girlfriend something. I was at a theme park the other day, and they had a stall where they sold cool little coloured, and rare rocks. So instinclively I thought of buying a few and quickly chaining 'em together into a bracelet or something for my girlfriend. But couldn't stop thinking that I'm being AFC. And that gifts are bad.

Somehow, I know this ain't the way to think. But I just can't help myself. I've never seen anyong give a thumbs up to a gift for your girl. Sure, I defintately don't agree with using gifts as bribes to girls you don't have any... relations with. Cause a gift will never buy you attraction.

Any thoughts?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

nothing wrong with it....just dont go overboard with it....what you did buying something at a theme park is pretty harmless (because it was spontaneous) and probably helped....as long as your not doing it all the time i think your ok

You can do it in a more curiousity way more than the reg afc way. For instance you make a bet with her for example...

You: "Lets so who can go around the go cart course the most, if you win you get a prize if I win...(something you want)"
her: ok (Girls love playing games, I once found a yugioh card on the floor and end up turning it into a game by putting it on a table between me and her and racing to see who gets it first)

This way she had to work for that gift, you didn't just give it to her.

Give gifts/compliments VERY sparingly and NOT all the time, if u feel u must ... check out the DJ Bible
 

"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.

And rightly so.

I have a little checklist that must be met before I reward birds with gifts, every other man here should have something similar.

#1 Does she suck it regularly (extra points for swallowing)
#2 Does she more often than not treat you like a King
#3 Does she cook and clean for you (even if you both live in seperate places a chick whos into will do the above now and then)

Only then after she meets the above requirements will I even remotely consider giving her a gift and thats not even to say I will. I should be MORE than enough of a gift for her anyway, which I am obviously.

Oookay. That's about the strangest thing I've heard on these boards, tits. *chuckles*

I like the bet idea, though. :p

Wow! You bought a bl0wjob. How novel.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
