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.
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.
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.
No test is 100% accurate, but I disagree with you. I've given this test to almost all of my friends, exes, and my current girl. I know these people's personalities like the back of the hand, and in many cases I was able to predict what result they would get.theres only one thing we can learn from this nad heres a clue, the people who got pleasing results from the test think it is acurate, those who got unwnated results think it is BS.
maybe the test is acurate maybe it isnt, but thta is not the point i was making, im saying that if you like your result you belive it and think that the test is acurate but if you do not like it you think the test is a load of BS, this is not about how acurate it really is, it is about how peoples oppinion on its acuracy varies depending on their result, regardless of weather it is REALLY ACURATE (well obviously not completly regardless)Originally posted by MindOverMatter

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.
It's nothing like newspaper horoscopes, they aren't nearly as vague. Spend the time to actually take the test and then your feedback would be accurate and not a bunch of assumptions.Originally posted by sfalexi
An internet test like this is NEVER going to be 100% accurate. THere's no way you can lump all the guys that take it (probably hundreds of thousands so far) into 16 categories or however many there are.
But they shoot for vague generalizations and hope that what you've described fits into those generalizations, or that you interpret some of your life in such a way to fit the description AFTER hearing the description.
Much like the newspaper's horoscopes.

The nice guy in me wants to say, "While you may disagree, there's no reason to imply that I'm a moron and haven't taken the test."It's nothing like newspaper horoscopes, they aren't nearly as vague.

Well, the test results do reflect the person taking it and their personality. Alright, yours was vague.Originally posted by sfalexi
But I think the A-hole in me is gonna win out on this one, and so I say **** you, you're wrong, I'm right. They're vague.

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.
Same here. Apparently women find me horribly unattractive, which would explain why two of them picked up on ME yesterday. What an astoundingly accurate site.Originally posted by Bonhomme

LOL!
I really think it's that I answered the questionnaire honestly. And I always thought I was too nice.
Hahaha for real though, I got that random brutal sex dreamer too.Originally posted by Luscious

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.
