"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.

Cutting Alcohol out of my Game

Friday night I had a friend take me out for some drinks and we got pretty hammered. I woke up late on Saturday and felt the effects of it.

I ran sarges Saturday and Sunday with fatigue. There's a point in my life where I have to take that extra step to achieve ultimate success. I am considering eliminating alcohol completely from my game.

I was wondering if I could get some feedback on those who don't drink or drink very little and how they go about it in social situations. Do you order Cokes, Waters when you go out? Are you ever tempted to drink?

"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.

not drinking alcohol is good for your health right?
Yes that is correct, google it.
There are SOME benefits for drinking red wine though I believe, but when you drink for the purpose of getting drunk, there are some future health concerns.

yes but your talking about alcohol i relation to pick-up, which has nothing to do with the forum!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

drink moderately in social settings. your problem comes from over doing it. don't drink alone. and don't drink to excess. you should be alright. pay attention to what your body tells you. treat it with respect.

Well, let's put alcohol into the context of this forum...
Abusing it wreaks havoc on your physiological state. If you're
involved in a serious physical regimen of exercise, you'll learn quickly
enough that heavy drinking does nothing to enhance your body's
state of well-being....

Now as for the emotional/social/mental aspects of boozing, do a search
in General or Mature, this subject has been covered lots.
