"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

hi,

i have been thinking what to get my girlfriend for christmas, and one of my friends mentioned maybe get her lingerie (bra and panties). at first, i thought it was a pretty good idea, its something personal (not something like electronics) and both of us would get some enjoyment out of it (i hope :D). as far as sizing goes, i guess i could look through her underwear drawer...:woo:. i figure its better than purchasing something like jewelry. what are peoples thoughts on the lingerie idea?
 

"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.

first we need to know how old she is and if she would actually wear it.
then you should send me a link to her pic so i can guess her size for you and help you find it cheap.

she is 27, i am 21, she usually wears skimpy underwear e.g. g-strings, thongs, lace boyshorts. her underwear isn't cheap, she spends alot of money on underwear.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

its only weird if you think it is, and if you think it is weird to pick it out, how weird are you gonna feel giving it to her??

its like buying condoms, once you are old enough to do it, its only weird the very first time.

well i have no problem going to the store to buy condoms (it shows that i'm safe :up: ) i think once i have her size(s) figured out i'm going to go buy a lingerie set, i think it's a special gift (what do others think?) what does lingerie say? i think it says that i think she is sexy (which i do).

figuring out a size is easy. most sizes are small , medium , large and plus.

I wouldn't buy a woman lingerie on on my own what so ever. You spend the time picking out something that you think would look sexy on your girl and you give it to her. She puts it on and guess what, it's the wrong size. If it's too small, she may feel embarrassed that she's larger than you perceive her to be. If it's too large, she'll think that you believe that she's fat. Think about it. Even though they come in basic sizes, it makes a difference between styles, where the band lies, where the thighs are cut, the type of fabric.

Instead, use your imagination. Buying someone lingerie screams naughtiness, capitalize on it. Give her a gift certificate to VS and tell her that you will go with her to help her pick something out. But that's not all, your objective is not to just buy some undies, but to sneak into the dressing room with her while she tries them on. It'll take balls, it'll probably give you a few stares from the salespeople and the other customers but think about what it will do for the excitement factor for you and your girl? ;)

These are the types of things that guys seldom do in a relationship and ultimately they get bored because there's no excitement. Make an effort to make sure it never goes away. :up:

Well, I could just go look in her underwear drawer (see what size she is) :whistle:

BTW: honestly, is this a good gift idea? personally, I think so (the gift says that I think she is sexy, it is something we will both get enjoyment out of, and it shows her that I'm a little naughty). Since this would be the first time (if I do consider) buying a woman lingerie, I think its ballsy.

So we chatted today online (she is away at the moment) and I guess she caught wind of my plan (lingerie ) and she asked why I was asking what she liked to wear, I tried playing it off that I was only curious but, then she got a little worried that I had already bought her some lingerie (which I haven't). Since she is tall (6'0") that sizing would be difficult, so she said that it would be fun for us to go shopping together (YAY!) I replied with my thoughts exactly . So I have to think of a nice gift to get her for Christmas.

WHOSE thoughts exactly? You were going to sneak a peek into her drawers (the wooden kind, not the silk kind). Geesh... :rolleyes:

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Either get your money back or save them until she's earned them (like Chrismas 2007 if you two are still together).

Yea, thats an idea I suppose.

Its her birthday in a week or so, so together with christmas and her bday I spent like £150 on her, 2 items for her birthday and 3 for christmas. I'm sort of thinking it's a bit too much and have a suspicious feeling shes only got me 1 or 2 relatively cheap things.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
