Money is a defense not an offense. If you don't have a venue that gives you access to women then you are better off using your wealth to purchase prostitutes.
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.
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.
Translation: if you're not a hipster bartender from a frat house, you must be paying for it.Money is a defense not an offense. If you don't have a venue that gives you access to women then you are better off using your wealth to purchase prostitutes.
Come on bro. Adult film actress has 1M in her account. Hollywood actress has 500K in her account. Who are you going to bring home to mommy and say 'she will be your future daughter in law and the mother of your grand children?'Interesting. So you're saying status is more important than money even if one guy had more money.
Great point. It's about your total value versus her total value. That's why if she slept with you, it doesn't matter why, you were good enough.Your score (ten max):
Looks - 8
Personality - 8
Resources (money, material assets) - 9
Social connections - 7
TOTAL - 32/40
Her score (ten max):
Looks - 9
Personality - 7
Resources (money, material assets) - 6
Social connections - 8
TOTAL - 30/40.
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.
That's a negative belief the seed of which will grow and manifest itself into a self fulfilling prophecy..And unfortunately I think this means as I get older, paying for sex will be my only option.
Maybe not. I guess it depends on the kind of women you are looking for? If you're stuck at a certain age range preference that stays the same as you get older then yes you likely have to pay women in some way. But if that age prefences is adjusted as you get older (ie at least 10 yrs younger so when you're 40 she's at least 30 and when you're 50 she's at least 40 etc), there's a better chance of finding something real with mutual attraction and interest.And unfortunately I think this means as I get older, paying for sex will be my only option. Perhaps that is the natural order of things. Perhaps I am just entering a new stage in my life and I need to come to terms with this.
I should spend more time on the real estate forum and less time here.
I'm too shy and don't know what to say. To call me "socially awkward" would be an understatement. My social skills are only slightly better than those who have autism.That's a negative belief the seed of which will grow and manifest itself into a self fulfilling prophecy..
What's stopping any man going to a bar, having a beer and chatting to women and pulling one of them back home with
him for the night, or a few hours.
Really, what's stopping any man going out and doing that tonight?? Believing that you can: confidence.
If you need other ****e to build up your confidence, then your confidence and inner game are like a house of cards.
Ask yourself, "what's stopping me going out and doing that tonight?" and then listen.....
The answers will reveal all of your hangups and excuses which probably all boil down to the belief: "I'm not good enough right now"
When I have my new car.....women will want me...
When I am earning more money.....women will want me....
when I put on 15ib of muscle......women will want me.......
When I buy a new wardrobe....women will want me....
When I learn to dance.....women will want me.....
....and the list goes on. A ready made belief system (Paradigm) that keeps you stuck.
You're good enough now. Today. To go out and pull some woman, for the grand price of a couple of beers. Good enough now.
This is enough.
Well at least you're honest about your "weaknesses, which shows a level of humility. A healthy and necessary ingredientI'm too shy and don't know what to say. To call me "socially awkward" would be an understatement. My social skills are only slightly better than those who have autism.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
