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.
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.
Pills have about a 5% chance of failing even with proper usage...Originally posted by Hot Ice
Well, I'd imagine if you finger her first, then put your condom on and your fingers touch your ****, you can get a STD easily.
Same thing with semen. Only one little swimmer is needed.
A 33 years old female friend of mine is pregnant and she said she was using pills when she got pregnant. As when she got her first child. That sounds like she has just forgotten to take one, but she says she's sure she hasn't... well, dunno about it.
I guess you just have to know you can be never 100% sure about sex and you take a risk every time you do it. The thing is to minimize risks. And being responsible.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Or crabs... or actually a few other things.Originally posted by penkitten
condoms dont pretect against everything like herpes for one..
Very true!Originally posted by Giovanni Casanova
You're taking a risk every time, condom or not.
it's not REALLY dangerous...Originally posted by Jay-X
guys, u scare me... my girlfriend is too young to take the pill (she's 16) and u r sayin' that just usin' the condom is really dangerous... so tell me what should i do...
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.
Wear a condomn and when you are about to blow, pull out. Reduces your chances quite a bit.Originally posted by Jay-X
here in italy u can't take pills if u r younger than 18 and u don't have a doctor's recepee (in order to have this, u have to tell your parents... no way, of course...)... suggest me something that i should do... should i just wear a condom and risk pregnancy? (i don't care about STDs, 'cuz i'm her first partner) what do you other underage guys do to prevent pregnancy, besides using a condom?
i thought about jerkin' off 2 times before havin sex with her (in order to reduce the amount of semen), wearin' a condom and doin' it just immediately after she has her things... should i be safe enough this way?
Well, dunno about that. While having sex, the girl should be always wetOriginally posted by Jay-X
that's a good idea, thank u jimbo. it's safer if she's really wet, because u can slide ur d1ck in a easier way, right?
