"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Ok, I've decided to go no fap and just see what it brings to me for my life as well as give me a goal to aim towards on my step towards improvement. You may ask why I'm doing a journal for this or why is this not in the DJ Discussion section.
Basically I don't think a journal about fapping or in this case not warrants attention that much and when I update this sporadically I don't want to clog up that section so I figure Anything Else is kinda harmless so it'll go here unless the mods think otherwise of course.

As for making a journal of this, it won't be a day by day update except perhaps early on so I can have you guys for support (no homo ;) ) and in reality it's for my benefit to be held accountable and finally to put down my feelings and what I feel from it as and when it occurs in the hope that others may find it interesting when reading as there isn't anything else that I can see currently on SS like this but also to inspire them to do the same.
If I succumb I start from zilch, first aim is 1 month.

So yeah, I've knuckle shuffled the last one out for quite some time now hopefully.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.

Day #1

Nothing to report really, not feeling a need to w@nk but it's only been a day so far so I'm sure it'll hit home in the coming days.
I'm working later so won't have any excuse to knuckle shuffle. Will post back in a couple days.

Still going strong here 6 days in, couple of observations to make however.

1. I feel calmer, if a situation arises that pisses me off then I find myself taking the time to think things through and act rationally (this could be temporary due to reduced T in the system)

2. I feel better since doing this as mentally I'm achieving my goal so it allows me to feel better about myself.

3. I have an occasional dull ache in my balls >.< I'm guessing from all the jizz I'm storing up but ill keep an eye on it.

Ok so I'm 10 days in and it feels like it's been a helluva lot longer!

Today so far has been tough, woke up this morning and the first thing on my mind was sex/p0rn and having a w@nk. Needless to say I haven't but it was tough!

No other noticeable changes to me.

"She's Out of Your League"

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 fap is pointless. Possibly even bad for your health. Just don't look at porn. Masturbation & ejaculation is healthy.

No more keyboard jockeying . Action is the place.

true. porn is what creates that numbing effect via secretion of excess dopamine to "hardcore" visualization.

Well I'm kicking this one back into gear guys. I've fapped something serious recently to p0rn and I want to do this again just for my benefit of succeeding in it, getting increased testosterone so Day 1 begins again now.


Day 1 - DONE
 

"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.

haha, you fall off quick man. I'm at day 15, I've gone to bed a few times with blue balls, but I was able to get some action in there so I don't have it too bad. Just get some plates spinning and you'll save yourself some temptation. Believe me I've had some.

Oh my god dude, blue balls is so uncomfortable. The worst is when you google "how to relieve blue balls" and everyone says "sorry bro, you just gotta finish the job", lol. I packed some ice into my drawers once but it didn't help much. I just had to ride out the day with a terrible ache in my left nut. Every time you sit...bend...it just reminds you.
 

"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.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.
