"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

In some interview Matthew McConaghey (sp?) was asked how a woman can tell if a guy is really into her. He said "if he'll do something really stupid when she asks him to."

Gotta wonder what the effects of that sage advice will be on the self-esteem of some gals as they notice that no guys with much value are "really into them". ;)

This pretty much describes 90% of the male population.

Its actually true. A man WILL do some dumb sh!t for a girl he really likes. Of course noone wants to admit this, because its some dumb sh!t. But I find it endearing. "Awww... he likes me!" But I am a sweetheart, not some cold calculating b!tch looking for any sign of weakness so that I can come in for the kill...
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

He is a celebrity. He doesn't need game.

He can just walk into a bar and tell the hottest girl in there "I wanna **** you. I'm Mathew McConaghough (sp?)" and she will still go home with him.

Well he's engaged to a latina supermodel so I think you still need some game for that.

I've known lots of hot women turn down celebrities because they weren't charming or cool in real life. Turned them off straight away.

But then again I've also know lots of other women who have slept with them anyway.

Why don't we all become rock stars or actors?!. :yes:

Maybe when I was a kid. But not as a MAN. A MAN is NOT controlled by anyone.

Don't lie.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

Maybe so, but did the guys to whom you actually were most attracted do that if you asked them to?

(I'm not talking about stupid romantic gestures, I'm talking being "led by the nose")

I've asked guys who I was considering but not sure about, to do some pretty AFC crap. If they did it, it told me that they cared more about me than their reps. The best part is watching them struggle internally. Lol. I don't mean that in a mean spirited way... its touching. AND this is a huge confession, I'd NEVER let this on to anyone in real life.

I go all out for anyone I care about in LTR's, so I need to see a little something before I let it get too far. Call it a sh!t test.

Think of Janet Jackson's character in the opening scene of Poetic Justice, where her gangster boyfriend brings her back her Jujubees, or whatever it was she asked for. Then he got some booty... or he was going to get some, before he was shot to death.

Asking a bloke to pick up some jujubees or something like that is a reasonable request, if you're not inconveniencing the guy to an unreasonable degree.

An example of unreasonable is when gals called me out of the blue to give them a ride from somewhere, and it was not a real serious emergency and/or their own foolishness got them in the situation. Ixna, nada, sux2BU ....

That's mean.
 

"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.
