Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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.
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.

I just hate it when people worry about EVERY LITTLE THING, like it actually matters, damn.
Wrong. Pimples take months to form or go away.Originally posted by dawg89
im pretty sure masturbation affects acne also my face was better after 9 days of not spaning the monkey and when i do it a new pimple pops out it cant be coincidence and i cant really test it out cause i usually give up after a day does any one else realised this?
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.
Exactly where was the science in that post? Don't be so easily fooled. Not saying he's right or wrong.Originally posted by eLMac

Stormbringer that was the best post I've seen in a good while. Thankyou very much.
The problem is taking the info from actionlove.com as "scientific fact." That's not the best thing to do.Originally posted by pimpfromdayone
Who cares?! What do you want a friggin bibliography too?! Haha, the guy made a great post about "the clinical effects" of both masturbation and non-masturbation and you are arguing about its validity for some reason. For those who didn't understand, the whole post is a scientifically backed way of saying: masturbate/have sex in moderation, because it is true that hormone levels are changed by the act, and if you didn't know that for some reason, you have no right to even have an opinion in this. Over-masturbation can exist, but I think you would have to be a chronic masturbator to do it, haha, like multiple times a day every day. I think once a day is a limit everyone should set though, just in case. Over-masturbation has short-term symptoms as well, so it's not like you would be doing it without having some noticable problems. And on the other hand, semen should be released from the prostate gland and other fluids from other auxillary glands on occasion, or that is also unhealthy. MODERATION. The Bad Ass Canadian also makes an excellent point: if you think not masturbating is somehow going to increase your success with women, there is something wrong with your way of thinking.
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.

I think you're right on.Originally posted by pimpfromdayone
Like I was saying, if for some reason your mind changes, you were either doing WAY too much and depleting all your hormone levels (any moron can figure out that secretion means depletion if you do it too much, so why the fu-ck do you need science to prove it?!), or you have some pyschological problem associated with masturbation that you shouldn't have. It really is all in your mind, to a point... like I said, if you do it ALL the time, you face the possibility of actually causing some pyschological side-effects due to how you altered your body's chemistry. Too much of ANYTHING is bad for you, so once again I ask you why do you need science to prove it? About the pent up sexual energy, well... I actually have a stronger sex drive a day or two after doing it than I would if I abstained from it completely. The body, as far as I have read from other sources, increases the production of certain hormones when you are sexually active. As to the original poster, well, he clearly already made his mind up and was adamant about not masturbating, so all he wants is for us to tell him reasons NOT to masturbate, which, needless to say, is stupid.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
