"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

The only reason he has Olivia Wilde on his arm is because he's a rich celebrity. If he was a plumber he'd be a virgin.

well wait a minute, olivia wilde is rich too and has her own career and fame, she is not some girl from a lower caste who is desperate for money and fame. she could have easily gone out with young stud football player or actor but she chose a fat out of shape old writer. same with his other wives and gf's.

An attractive women with money and fame will go with a ugly guy within fame and money. An attractive women with no money and no fame will not go with an ugly guy with no money/fame.

Doesn't matter who she is or what she has.

s/fame and money/fame, game, or money/

IMO, the order of importance is:

  • power (fame being a manifestation of power)
    .
    .
    .
  • game
  • looks
  • creativity
  • money
  • intelligence (to an extent)

Of course, it depends on the age, but I think this is the case for 16-25 year old women, which is the best age range.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

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.

LOL. If I had his money and fame, I'd be banging 10's on the reg. no he doesn't make me feel better. Average guys play by different rules than celebs.

Ahhh.. It's not the money and the fame.

For those that don't know, Salman Rushdie is one of the most brilliant minds of our lifetimes, and an incredible writer.

Women are attracted to this.

So. Two things.

1. Status
2. Never dated Olivia Wilde. She's actually engaged or married to Jason Sudekis now and preggers.

Speaking of status and Olivia Wilde, before Sudekis she was married to an "Italian prince." Now, get this, when they met - he was living in a hollowed out school bus in LA. And he got her to move into the bus with her!

All this bum had to do was tell her that he was an Italian a Prince, she believed him, and next thing ya know he's got one of the hottest women on the planet living in his hobo cave with him. I think she eventually figured out he may not be a prince.

So if you're looking for guys to give you hope, foreverAFC, look to the hobo who married Olivia Wilde and got her to live in a bus in the desert.

Insulting Muhammad Helps to

Also, you have to having a fatwa issues against you by none other than the Ayatollah Khomeini has to add to his intrigue and status too. There are not to many people walking the planet that can claim that they pissed some religious fanatics to the point of where they put a contract out on your life. That fact alone has to get a chick moist in the pants.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

The thread only mentions his wives, maybe he has lovers on the side too. That is the perks of this position.

Power .. definitely this is the best thing to have if you want to get laid by the highest value chick

As the Ayatollah of Rockandrolla, I hereby declare a fatwa on everyone in this thread so you can go out and tell women the Ayatollah declared a fatwa on you. As many knee-jerk pro Arab women as there are out there today who couldn't locate the Gaza Strip on a map, no idea what traction you will get. Let us know!
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Have you written any best sellers with that IQ?

Been knighted?

All nice to have intelligence, it's what you do with it.

In all my years under this 'depression' you would think stories like this were some kind of motivation, but over time I have seen through it.

Socially, a lot of women are still repellant in evaluating a man's looks. They have some pass in being allowed to determine and dictate a man's position in society, possibly combined with his dating position/desirability, because they don't find him attractive.

I don't go around assuming that a 'lonely cat lady' will stay like that all the time.

They do have the last say.

It got to the point where my parent/s were having to assist me in introducing me to any person because they sensed my indecisiveness and lack of confidence, which also resulted in self-harm. How bad is that?
