"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.

So I have been using the techniques on the forum with some success.

However, there is one phenomenon I have noticed over the last two years and was not sure what to do about it. A small but regular percentage of women that I start off being friends with, but then end up having one night stands with seem ok with it at first. However, days, weeks or months after, they tell me that they regret it and want to cut off all contact with me. They always seem to place all responsibility for the encounter on me, and avoid taking any for themselves. Sometimes women who make the first move later tell me that I was the one who "pushed" them into having sex.

To put it in perspective, while I am a lot more attractive and confident then I used to be, I am still not the kind of guy that women brag about having one night stands with - I am muscular but a little dumpy, come from a racial minority and am more academic then athletic or musically inclined. As a result, sometimes I feel that this is based on the fact that girls sometimes are embarassed to admit they had a one night stand with me, as I am not "cool" enough. Is this a possibility?

I am also still the kind of guy who has a lot of female friends, and as a result, I am willing to spend time listening to a girl when she says she regrets an experience. Is that also contributing to the problem? I know a lot of my female friends talk about regretting sex with a guy, but never tell them because they think "they would be *******s about it". Should I aim to be more like those guys?

Finally, could anyone suggest ways to approach these girls when they admit they regret the experience so I can maintain the friendship, or at least minimise any feelings of animosity towards me? This is something that is confusing me, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Yeah, but I don't want to trash friendships or my rep while doing so. I know other guys who have lots of ONS, and all the girls they slept with go on about how cool they are, and get all nostalgic about their ONS. Any ideas on how I can become more like those guys?

You have no friendships with women first and foremost. Or as I like to say, a friendship with a woman is like a friendship with a cat. It may want and need something from you, but rarely will it do much for your benefit.

Secondly. Trash your rep as what? A nice guy? You holding on to that rep are ya mate?

Thirdly since your in Aussieland. Harden the **** up mate!

Fourthly, in the fourth place. Stop listening to women and being the nice guy. In fact, do this with the next one. Play your usual role of nice guy who listens in order to get in the panties, and then don't call her again ever. If you see her in public, be nice an sweet as usual. And then still don't call her. See how she reacts. In fact, stop calling every female you know unless you need something from them, don't spend time with any of these female friends unless you want them to do something for you. See what happens. Unless you are willing to experiment with your life (take a risk) all the handholding and advice on a forum is useless. Run some experiments.

Fifth. You want to be those guys, do what they do. Hit the gym, change your clothing style, study hard and party hard. Women are like a hammer or wrench, you use them when you need them and then you put them up, be sure not to bang your finger with one. You don't hate a hammer or love a hammer, its just a tool. It's the work you do with that hammer which is the source of your pride.

Six. Good luck convict.

Being the guy that has the 'repuation' and all girls call '*******', is the kind of guy you should be.

When a girl remembers a guy fondly, more often than not, he's a loser.

Ha ha- you do realize that the English only sent their trailer trash down here after your patriots started getting testy back around 1776. Before that, their English and Irish convicts were shipped to your North East .

THanks for that ! :cheer:
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

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.
