just curious. if so why or why not? reason i ask is the consensus has been that all of them are evil, but once in awhile i meet one that is an exception.
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.
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'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.

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
I think Midnight City's absolutely right. Women are different from men, I don't think anybody here is going to deny that.MidnightCity said:good and evil are just concepts.
animals do horrible things to each other all the time. it doesnt make them evil. its merely natural. basic observation and understanding will tell you that such behavior is rooted in survival.
same goes for men and women.
hypergamy is ruthless and harsh. but so is male sexual selectivity. 2 sides of the same coin.
I feel so fortunate to have such a great mother, but I know the majority are not. My father divorced my mother in 84. She objected but got remarried after. My mom is a nurse of many years.No.Danny said:They are.
UNTIL proven otherwise. I can tell you this because even my mother doesn't respect my father.
