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.
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.
Yes she probably is...and yes i will too.....She is spinning plates....
Go NC and spin your own....
i have plenty of self respect....i never chased her...nor will I ever chase any woman. i walked away and have not looked back....i was asking about bday text because i want to show indifference....but after thinking about it...she deserves absolutely nothing from me...i don't care she reached out 3 weeks ago, she never showed and then goes distant for 3 weeks? peace, have fun rolling into your 30's drinking and getting drunk while the rest of your friends are moving on with their lives and forming families.You don't date flakes. Stop wasting your time. If she flakes, she's out. She's dead.
IF you've already had sex with her before her flake, you can keep her around by demoting her to a booty call. You will not pursue this woman ever again.
Have some self-respect. Women that like you do NOT flake.
Glad you already know what the deal is.i have plenty of self respect....i never chased her...nor will I ever chase any woman. i walked away and have not looked back....i was asking about bday text because i want to show indifference....but after thinking about it...she deserves absolutely nothing from me...
I can blow a load into anyone and "form a family." Is that supposed to be some sort of accomplishment?peace, have fun rolling into your 30's drinking and getting drunk while the rest of your friends are moving on with their lives and forming families.
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
The point is she doesn't care. Meet a woman that does.i dont know dude, take it for what you want. Point is she's too flaky to know a good thing when it comes around
you are exactly right....The point is she doesn't care. Meet a woman that does.
Agreed...i gave her benefit of the doubt... Now that i think of it, i wonder if she was seeing another guy in the meantime... Who knows. She sidnt come across as that type of woman, but its very possible... At this point who cares.You should have tried to bang her on the second meet up. I would have laughed if a broad said hey lets me up again in 12 days. Forget about her and find new prospects.
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.
Only if you want to be her chump.Im supposed to ask her out after she cancelled and never rescheduled??
2 This is a typical case of a woman who showed some interest but then because of X, Y or Z she lost interest.
You cannot do anything about it. You showed her you were interested; she showed you she aint not longer interested. End of the story.
You did fine, it happens.
The ONLY reason why i thiught of sending bday text was to show indifference by not letting her think im affected by dissapear act.I think you're 100% correct: knowing why doesn't matter. If you knew why, it likely wouldn't change a thing.
I challenge you to delete her number AND if she texts you, wait a few hours then respond with, "Who is this??"
Oneitis can creep in very subtly (i.e. your wanting to wish her Happy Birthday).
In my opinion deleting her number and focusing on other women will make it a little easier to ignore her and eventually erase her from your mind.
For validation and an ego boost to know that she still has you if she wanted you.Exactly.... And i walked each time she flakes. I know it doesnt matter, but why reach out a few weeks ago? Makes no sense to me if she had zero interest.
today is her bday, she gets sht from me. I walked and Not looking back.
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.
You should stay honest with yourself in any way. Even it creates temp painful feelings. It makes you to who you want to be. And that's the most important.Because she likes toying with you and manipulating you. Its fun for her and makes her feel important and not worthless.
My ex girlfriend tried to keep a strong line since she dropped me 2 months ago. But she didnt want to lose me (WTF!). She pushed and pulled back like 'I doubt again on my decision because you still touch me with what you say'. Blablabla. (why the hell broke you up?)
I kept my position. Me 100% or nothing.
I wrote her a very open letter 1,5 week ago. I'm very vulnerable in it and expressed my love for her straight away.
That's the second time you said that. Seems to me she didn't want to put any effort into the relationship,and wanted you to do ALL the work....to make her and yourself happy.She said she would respond as soon she has read the letter. For sure she received the letter already.
Silence till now. The longest we have since break-up. She wanted to keep 'the good part of me' without doing any effort for the other parts. Sorry girl, it's the whole package, like I take you too with your + and -.
I doubt it. From the way you described her,I think the only thing she's conflicted about is how to make it so you continue expressing your love/desire for her,so her ego will continue to get fed.I'm sure she is conflicting heavily with herself now (on social media, used to be active, complete silence also) and don't know yet how to react.
In that case,your letter was a failure. Seems like you want maturity,and respect out of her.Indirectly the aim of my letter: face you insecure attitude, grow up or leave me alone.
I do. The standstill she has you at now,it's where she's gonna keep you. You sent her the letter a week and a half ago? No response as of yet? There'll CONTINUE TO BE none. And if she does reply,I can predict what she'll say.....I have no idea what the outcome will be
Whatever it takes to make yourself feel better.But anyway the stress is building up on her now. Eat it.
Really.....I'm still feeling very well having sent that letter/message.
What's wrong 'being weak'? I love this forum, but if it's only for the sake of being 'we overpower the girls and period' I'm not following.In that case,your letter was a failure.
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.
