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.
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.
Well, she could be lying, but it's not impossible to believe. He's not that famous, not like he's an A-lister or something like that. He probably has a lot of confidence because of his fame, and maybe approached her and started talking to her and they vibed well. Happens every day with non-famous people. Yeah, he is rather old for her, but he is in good shape.
100 percent agree and was going to post that as well. I mean, not ugly looking, she's cute, but not this hottie like the posters on here are claiming he just pulled in. Even at my grocery store I got a couple chicks far hotter than her working there.
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.
Her hotness was not the point of the thread. The point was the hate from older women she received.
I'd say she's pretty hot compared to what the average 62 year old gets.
True. For our ages on here, no we wouldn't go for her. Here in fl I see old guys with better looking women in their early 40s though (gold diggers)
Yeah that’s fair.

No, I believe it, these millennials don't know jacksh!t about personalities pre-2000. I had to work with one, a dude, 2 years ago 20 years old, he didn't know who ANY person I referenced from My time growing up. I think it's the cellphone gen(s) that constantly have their heads buried in the phone tapping so they don't know nothin.
He used her to get into the business, once in he was in like Flynn.
Maybe he's tried her out (without condom) and sees that she doesn't have any diseases and thus a keeper. I could understand sticking with one that you know for sure is clean.
Who's that guy?
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Yep, it was just a joke. Good point on the steroids, he probably had to work extra hard to make sure he had more testosterone than she did.
He hasn't aged that well, but he pretty much was THE definition for Chad even before that became a meme (go view the horribly cliché-ed movie "Rocky IV" to see him in his prime). In any case, the value of a man is in his genetic fitness, and an old man's sperm is just about as good as a young man's sperm.
I hadn't seen this post first before I had basically posted the same idea. I'm surprised that the 0-10 charts that the Incels come up with don't have him at the top as the anti-StBlackOps2Cel.
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.
