"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.

Do men who are in reasonable shape feel like there aren't enough skinny/slim/healthy-weight women?

Firstly, I don't mean hot model women or Stacey's (those aren't any higher than 4% of the female populace) , i just mean regular OK/average maybe kinda cute women. I even include slim/skinny women with a below average face.

And does that kind of lead to men in reasonable shape being...

A. Being with women who aren't their ideal size? /dating down.
B. Missing out, going monk.
C. PassPort bro to healthier countries to get your Looksmatch/body comp match (for a man with 15% bodyfat this means a woman with 21% bodyfat).
D. Be content with Wankshack HQ/porn/sex dolls/fleshlights etc.

My thread from the other day kinda proves a point. None so far has voted for fat+, which is Number 5 upwards. Number 4 kinda looking sturdy/thick.
 

"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.

The ones that do exist get completely spammed by approaches, or gross staring.

So they go to venues that have strong guardrails. £100+/head restaurants, expensive music festivals etc. This works until the swarming men start to spam those places too.

I occasionally get pictures reels of local nightclubs crop up on my social media and vast majority of birds just look like munters. Obese + tattooed (fattooed) but trying to put lipstick on a pig with streaky fake tan, weird eyelashes and eyebrows, etc. Welcome to YooKay. (Tbf though the blokes in these places look awful too).

So now the only chance to date a woman who isn't morbidly obese is to be a top 1% dude?

What in the hell is going on here lately?

I mean, I've dated dozens of women that were in good shape and I'm nowhere near probably even top 20% in looks.

People's belief systems are completely out of whack with reality it seems in increasingly insane ways.

Overweight and/or obese women.

That's what guys like Michael Sartain, Rolo Tomassi, Fresh&Fit and co-hosts are saying, yes. Probably not a top 1% Man but you need to be a top 5% Man to date a slim average or healthy weight average women. Basically, a female 5-6 can get a Male 8-9 on dating apps, social media, night venues with strong guard rails and expensive costs (like @UK manc says).

A 25% to 30% man (which is a slim/healthy weight average man in USA/UK) is left with the fat munter women.

Complete and utter bullsh!t.

If you believe that, you have very little experience with dating or women in general.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

I love how the Brits call women "birds". :)
