"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 45-year-old man. When I was in high school, I couldn’t get a date. I’m not unattractive, and I wasn’t even back then. But I was somewhat of a social outcast.

In recent years I have reconnected with several people I went to school with, and returned to my hometown for a short visit to show my kids where I grew up.

Abby, I was overwhelmed with attention from women who wouldn’t give me the time of day 25 years ago. I admit I like the change, but I’m uncomfortable that there has been such a dramatic shift in their view of me.

I’m not rich. I have a stable job, but haven’t done much with my life other than leave the small rural town I was raised in. Now I am constantly contacted by women who used to never look in my direction, asking me if it’s possible to become romantically involved.

Is this a case of the one that got away? Or is it a case of the grass is greener somewhere else, and I found a way to jump the fence? — CONFOUNDED IN ALABAMA
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

Abby gave a pretty lousy answer.

What's interesting about the girls from high school is the ones that I wanted to date or the ones who were 'out of my league' are now out of MY league. I've looked up these women on Facebook, and they look like worn-out 40 year old soccer moms. If any of them asked me out on a date these days, I would turn them down because I know I can get a woman who's 10-15 years younger than me.

meh if he have 40 they will be 40, i'm also guessing since they life still on they little rural town they want a way out, so for they he is like a celebrity for leaving the old little town and live in the big city, it will not survive much.

plus we ahve the whole why I would date someone your age when I can get younger? tell you what let me talk with your daughter then you can be my in-law.

Her answer was crap. Lol

I think it is the usual deal here. When she was in high school she was too busy chasing the captin of the football team and in college she was riding the c0ck carousel. Now she is older probably divorced with a plumitted sexual market value nearly worthless she is looking to latch onto what she believes to be a sure thing.

He should look her straightin the face and say "who are you again?"

I did that to a girl at a highschool reunion. I never dated the girl in high school never even asked her out, but she was one of thr popular girls that looked down her nose at an ordinary guy like me. Fast forward 25 years later she is divorced put on about 60 lbs. 3 kids later, she now knows what i do for a living and knows what we make and suddenly i had a clingy old "friend" at the reunion that wanted to start a relationship. Took the wind out of her sail when i looked at her and said " sorry what classes did we have together. I'm having trouble remembering you."

"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.

Yup kind of the same story here...

I've been to several high school reunions... I'm successful and decent looking... The hotties who wouldn't look my way back then are all divorced and worn out and trying to latch on.

I tell them I'm more interested in their daughters... (I'm 55 they are in their 30's) They are not happy... Lol...
