"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.

Can someone explain this to me?

OP, You are operating under a fallacy that seems to be a product of OLD and this insta generation

so you think 5’6” scrawny, baldy Strauss was dating.. down?
Like, he could’ve done better for himself ….?
Women are supposed to bring more beauty to the table
{No I wouldn't look twice at her, at least not based on those pics alone, but she's probably sexier irl which is what counts}
Men bring leadership to the table.

This whole concept of looksmaxxing is ghey, that men have to be as pretty as the woman they're dating
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. For certain reasons, many famous people are like that worldwide.





The woman looks masculine to me. I'm just saying one word. Inversion.

By the way, completely unrelated, may I ask what that devil-looking profile picture you currently use means? Just curious.
The chin on that chick is kinda suspicious. Long and square.

yeah she has a bit of a chin.
Ime chicks with a solid chin like that = high sex drive. That’s just a small sample size correlation tho, ime .

Profile pic =‘ El Diablo ‘the devil,
Yknow, the horny devil..
or sexually driven ,cheeky male .. like me :)

afaik she dumped Strauss for millionaire pop star Robbie Williams , I’m sure he had his choice of hot women, and that she’s pretty hot IRL.

There were rumours about him tho .. so not concrete proof that one. Lol

But seriously… Robbie Williams? cmon.

well, this is what we are raised to believe.
But, when we look around IRL it’s not really what we see. Especially in the younger bracket. Hot women tend to pair with Hot men ( handsome and tall) as a general rule.

whats a womans romantic ideal ?

“tall dark and handsome “!

just read back up through the thread for the explanation of why Strauss was with this chick. It was a combination of many factors. His Hollywood connections / Music scene connections mainly, his ‘ social circle game’ not his ‘leadership’ per se.


women bring their beauty to the table with leaders sure , but moreso with leaders who also happen to have lots of money.
thats a trade situation. Beauty for Money/Status.

Basic looksmaxxing is a very good idea, but it’s limited in application to gym and fashion and grooming imo.( Including Hair transplant )

There is no real effective application to face and height .
LM Doesn’t move the needle there afaics.

"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.

Some say she used him for his connections in the music biz/ Showbiz ..him being a rock writer etc.
he hadn’t made real money from grifting PUA at that point when he met her afaik, and wasn’t yet famous at that point either
He was a writer for Rolling Stone, wasn't he? That probably brought some status, especially in those days, when being a rock or pop star was a much bigger deal than it is now. At the very least, it was an exotic job where you got to rub elbows with famous people.

Maybe he happens to be her type and everyone's attracted to different things.
yeah there is a bit of that too.
he’s a music journalist that knows musicians , she’s in a band etc probably why it lasted 2 years.
Like @zekko said above tho. The main factor is he’s also got that status and connections. He had high status is my takeaway. Not just the average Joe music fan/journo. His high status compensated for his Looks.
So she was trading her looks for his status.


That’s famous guitarist Dave Navarro and playboy bunny Carmen Electra below.
