I swear I cant tell the difference between a woman in her 20s from a woman in her 30s or 40s anymore.
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.
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.
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.
I mean that is a far stretch, 20's to 40's. You can certainly tell a difference. I'd say the late 20's to mid 30's is where it might be a bit deceiving because of makeup. But hands are a good indicator of age.I swear I cant tell the difference between a woman in her 20s from a woman in her 30s or 40s anymore.
Agree.I mean that is a far stretch, 20's to 40's. You can certainly tell a difference. I'd say the late 20's to mid 30's is where it might be a bit deceiving because of makeup. But hands are a good indicator of age.
Once they are past late 30's, the body will def start to tell you a story. Maybe not with clothes on (that's another factor these days along with makeup), but you can tell.
Modern Man Advice
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
you must be one handsome mofo! Get of this site lolI had a clear underage approach me today, couldn't say how old but she was ready to go, some teens gonna get his life made today by that broad, I actually had like 6 chick's checking me out at once and she hovered all around them and scared them off eventually, was kind of annoying
Yeah, same.The age range I have trouble with is 16 - 22. Girls these days dress and carry themselves in a way that makes them seem older. Though after a 5 minute chat, it's easier to narrow down. But physically, nope.
It's been the year of the shaved head and long beard, I made a thread about it before but yeah it's a different thing nowyou must be one handsome mofo! Get of this site lol
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.
