"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.

Shoutout to this thread.

Thanks for the tip @cola regarding the beard. I’m using the next guard up a 1/8”. Beard looks darker. It’s true light skinned black men get a good contrast with a darker beard.
 

"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.

Of course, no one would ever admit they do anything to feel assured of their masculinity. But here is what you just said with my bolding for emphasis:



What else is that but assuring your masculinity through paying for the woman? Just admit it, Uncle Atom. It's no problem.



So it's OK to "not display leadership" and "be as weak as weak can possibly be" by spending insignificant amounts of money on a woman when you are making a first impression on her, but not later on, when you must switch over to spending more on her? And how does that mesh with you saying you should "display leadership and dominance" - masculinity - "right off the bat" by "paying for her", in the quote above?

Would she stop desiring you if you didn't pay for her?
You're too young to catch the nuances, methinks. Asserting and leveraging inherent masculinity is not the same thing as trying to self-assure about one's own masculinity. It is rather the exercise of a power that one already possesses.

I perceive that you are stretching very far in your quest to undermine my assertions. My writings are most assuredly not for you.

Since we've seen pics of Big Dave and Big Goal, we know they are not the same person. Big Dave was just a narcisist, BigGoal isn't one. Though, he does think he deserves a high caliber lady, when he himself isn't a high caliber dude yet.
Fake pics. He's just taking a different angle. You're forgetting that big Dave was a master troll who had a history of making several accounts on another forum before this one

Look at the similarities... both complain about location constantly, both ignore posts that don't enable their way of thinking. Both repeat the same talking points over and over. Both always answer any advice you give them with question upon question that's already been explained

Nah, Seekeroftheway told me she was going to meet BG for drinks, but blew it. He was too needy and FBing her like a MF. He's really in Florida and he really is the way he acts... Lost.

He knew a lot about Chicagoland. BG doesn't even know where Chicagoland is located.

Hmmm...what's funny is that I do remember him speaking about Illinois before, but I can't remember what he said. I think he was searching that area on OLD or something...
 

"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.

I remember he was selling cars in the area. Greatest car salesman in the world, or something like that.

Here is a better chest pic I took right after a shower tonight before I shaved.

What exercises for my chest would be good to focus on? As you can see I have no fat hardly and pretty flat stomach. It just needs some muscle.

Yea I remember that, I was talking about big goal

Interesting...Have you been to Illinois before
Never chi. Just when I was small when I parents bought lotto tickets there before MO had the lotto and when I passed through there when moving out of state. The place is a communist anti gun dump so I always avoided it when living up there when driving.
 

"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.

Last time I was on Bumble (1-2 years ago), all the women in my area were HB8/9, white, and all 5'9-6'0. At first I thought the algorithm was trolling me. I'm not talking about 1 or 2, I'm talking about nonstop 20-30 of these. None with kids though. I was also in NY btw.

"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.
