"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.

Can you ever be happy with looks?

There's this super hot latina hostess at a restaurant I go to. By super hot, I mean, a perfect (and natural) body...curvy, hourglass, but thin, perfectly sculpted a**, tits big but not too big...great face...and on top of it is all natural/minimal make up/wearing jeans and a basic shirt, doesn't have the snobby/hot look. If you were on a date with (pick whoever is your favorite celebrity) you wouldn't even pay attention to your date and she'd get mad at you.

When I saw her yesterday (and I've been in a deep depression the past few weeks) it was like I woke up out of a coma. Music sounded better when I went home. I started exercising again. I got normal sleep for the first time in weeks.

That's what I aim for at least for an LTR. Where I literally couldn't do any better (by my standards.) The women I've dated were cute/even borderline hot/better than most, but could easily walk away from them and were easily replaceable lookswise.

This woman is probably in her mid 30s and has a body and look better than most 21 year olds.

Anyway...that's part of the reason I don't get in LTRs. It would be dishonest to a woman. I'd just be looking at women like her, or watching tv shows/porn/looking at pictures of women that turned me on to that degree.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

It wouldn't really bother me.

I think getting the hottest of the hot is a bit narcissistic and infantile IMO. Looks are not everything in relationships.

Beyond your peripheral vision
I think it is pretty simple. If you are "over it" with a girl fairly early in the relationship, then you shouldn't be committed. You are for sure in the "sow your oats" phase of your life, and you should allow yourself the variety you obviously crave right now. One day you may find yourself with a woman you aren't getting so tired of too quickly. But probably not until you let yourself go and be wild.

If you want forever, you should aim for a point lower then what you can get, so that you can keep her beholden to you. If you want a better chance at a long lasting stable relationship, you'll heed this dictate. Bonus it should make the relationship easier to handle.

If you can't give up the hottest piece you can normally grab for some stability, either cheat or don't bother with forever. There are benefits to "locking it in", see if its right for you.

^^ That's pretty good stuff right there.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
