"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Does your car matter? Especially when you're close to your 30's?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

She looks like she likes to swallow, am I wrong?
I hope her father never sees this, but just to leave him a little reminder of the way he treated me, I bought the junior miss a super soaker and had a massive water fight in his private gallery. I was on a plane home when he found out. ;)

I only drive the biggest piece of junk I can find. People don't steal or break into pieces of crap. I also park beside the nicest car in the lot.
I've had that happen to me, and I always park far away from everyone else. Ever had your tires flattened? :) lol

It all depends on what the girl is into. Some like boats, motorcycles, lifted trucks, fast cars. I've experienced it all. In the end I think they like the added attention and being seen with you in the above mentioned "things" that increases their status. All women like nice things regardless.

It needs to fit your personality whatever it is. Women are really good at sniffing out incongruency.

None of those things will make up for a lack of skills unless you want gold digging hoes.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Right, even if you do attract a woman by a high status car, when she realizes thats all you got, she is not staying long term either
What poor guy has a high status car? No, I’m not talking about Joseph renting one out for a weekend or driving a 10 plus year old luxury car.

Don't think I ever said poor but plenty own them who can not reasonably afford them and people would assume they are a lot wealthier than they are

At one point Daddy tried to persuade daughter with a lot of money and a suitor that owned a yacht and half the business in the Puerto Vallarta mall. She chose to get her back blown out by a guy that lived in a dingy motel room and took the public 'limo' to the beach on weekends.
A month later, the guy's lifeless body washed up on the beach and the cops (assuming they even respond to stuff like this in Puerto Vallarta) wrote it off as an "accidental drowning".

I think you are referring to the slum dog Jeffrey's that are the 5th owner of a used Mercedes or BMW from a drive away lot using it to impress hood rats. Otherwise, a normal expensive vehicle driver has a decent job/business and the skillsets to bounce back if they were to even temporarily lose their income.

I was referring to the person starting the thread. If you are initially attracting someone with a high status car, 80k+, and that is important to them past early 20s. Most likely they will expect the lifestyle with that. When they realize you can not provide that, most likely they are not sticking around. Point being, do not lead with your wallet especially if you do not have the funds. Present who you are authentically are and that will weed out some of the riff raff
 

"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.

I know what you mean, but frauds aren't driving 80k plus cars. Even if you are pulling a Fresh and Fit with the luxury cars, they aren't financially disadvantaged. A guy working at Mcdonalds as a shift leader isn't driving a Royce and frauding on the side. He might have a high interest loan on a high mileage C-class Benz, but who is that really going to impress though?

Okay Fresh might be screwed, but Myron is more than likely okay due to his degree and talent.

Cars, and almost every other product, are made to cater to women. You've just discovered that SUVs push a woman's buttons.

First off, they're practical and can haul all the baby crap. Secondly, they're safer than cars just because of more mass. But I've rarely met a woman who had practical matters in mind when considering buying a car.

Thirdly, SUVs are in demand and considered trendy. Ford stopped producing cheap cars to focus on SUVs because they are what sells. This is probably why the woman was suddenly interested.

I’ve always had nice cars. Some women cared and some didn’t. When I was young, I had a decent looking car with a loud system in it. I used to take the car cruising in an area where people would cruise. I picked up countless girls back then using my car. They were young and impressed by cars. Right now I own a BMW that is heavily modded and has a loud exhaust. My gf hates riding in it. She says it’s too loud and bumpy (it’s lowered). The car breaks necks when I drive down the street. Instead she would rather ride in my stock (non modded) Audi that no one stares at. Then I’ve also had women who like my BMW. So it kind of depends on the woman’s age and who she is.

Lol is the BMW breaking necks due to "damn that's a nice ride" or to "damn that sh1t's loud"?

Ime all you really need is a car that looks nice/decent at first glance. No obvious beaters. Keep it clean and detailed and running decent and you should be fine assuming you're screening the women well.

Most cars look the same. Unless you get something really ostentatious or classic. I recently saw a Maserati crossover that looked like a Toyota.

In another decade or two it'll all be driverless anyway. Of course some will be nicer than others. Autos are just another thing where you value them because it conforms with who you are or you don't. Don't fall into the trap of valuing things differently because of a woman's frame. Esp. don't go into debt for it. Do as you like within your means.

Yep, but whatever you drive, keep it clean, tidy, and smelling 'good'
(I personally prefer fruit-smelling air-fresheners to anything floral, or musky, or any of that 'Aqua'/'New-Car'/'Black-Ice'/Whatever.....)

I was once told by a woman... "If your car had been minging (untidy/dirty/smelly/etc) there's no way I would have set foot in your house".
That stuck with me, and I always keep it clean and tidy, with either a Cherry or Citrus freshener.
Haha, exactly, chicks love cars that smell good. That's why I always keep my car clean, and make sure it smell good. And it's easier to get laid with them in a clean and nice car that they feel comfy being in, also.

Theres this one kid from a farm pretty far away.



 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
