You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
So what could I be doing wrong?Nutz said:Yes.
If you're not getting eye ****ed regularly there's probably something wrong with your walk or overall body language.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
My cousin would tell a girl who wasn't looking at him that she dropped her smile and he would point at the ground and repeat himself until she got the joke. Pretty funny. Anyway you have to try to get their attention someway. Probably best to do when you feeling a hilarious mood. Always play the game like it's a big joke a first. There's always time for seriousness later.:crackup:So what could I be doing wrong?
You probably pissed of the masses (the unattractive ones), but i agree.Crazy Asian said:ur not attractive enough.
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.
whenever i hear a comment like that i can't help but think of Jay-Z and Beyonce.oakraiderz2 said:You probably pissed of the masses (the unattractive ones), but i agree.
i get EC alot. That reminds me, Theres this chick at work, shes probably 28 or something, shes a HB7 but theres something about her that i find so sexy! anyway, i catch her checking me out alot lol when i walk by her desk, sometimes she definitly gives me the OBVIOUS eye contact. In general, I get EC with smiles, and sometimes a "Hi"...... Damn, now that i really think about it....... i get a sh!t load of EC from females........ I just dont act on it i guess. have my mind on other things.lazikia said:They rarely do with me.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I could've written this same thing verbatim. I think I'm probably somewhere in the average range attractive-wise. The women that are attracted to me range from ugly to moderately cute. It's a rare day when anything above a 7 looks my way. I wish I could change that. The thing is for guys, personality and status counts a lot more with women than the other way around. A woman who is good looking can fall in love with a guy that's not so great looking if he's got game and status, like someone pointed out in the Jay-Z example above. But rarely do you see a man falling for an ugly woman because of her status or wealth.Warrior74 said:I don't get hot chics staring, but I do get ugly girls gawking and then trying to play it off like they weren't. I get fat girls who will openly tell me how good I look. Fatties and uglies have nothing to loose. They look because they don't think they can have you anyway. You know...they way you oggle fine women that you're not gonna speak to.
This used to be a big hit on my self esteem...I'd wonder, was I ugly? Is that why these ugly chics would look at me? For the longest I thought that was the case.
Later I came to realise that I'm middle of the road attractive. I'm not a pretty boy, I'm not some uber rugged manly looking dood, I'm not fat (anymore). I don't have any hidieous defects. I dress nice, I stay groomed. I look like a decent catch. I'm a 7.9 on hot or not from back in the day but I look better now and better in person. They stare because they see a good thing, but they know they can never have it. OP, how do you react when you see these girl looking at you?
Why whats wrong are you sick, or handicapped etc? just wonderingKennethJones said:I don't get eye contact because people do not usually see me. I consider myself to be invisible.
When people do stare at me its usually a look of disgust or concern.
Definitely true, no matter how much everyone else says that looks don't matter. They DO. Especially for body language and non verbal communication. Being good looking is important, so is body language etc. but they compliment each other, you can have one without the other but they work so extremely well together. Its almost like magic.Crazy Asian said:ur not attractive enough.
