"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

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.

Don't drink heavily. Enough said. (Lesson learned)

So I took this trip to overseas a few days ago for two weeks.

My friend was having his high school graduation/prom (They have it all at once) and I went along. The tradition they have is after all of the ceremonies everyone walks around the city all night until the sun comes up, then goes home.

During his ceremony, I went outside to go call my father and noticed that my phone got blocked, so I couldn't send/receive calls at all. So I just sat there, and then this guy with a group of girls approaches me and invites me to this nightclub that's really close by, so I go ahead with him. So on the way there I talked to him for a bit and we finally sat down, and I had a few shots of vodka (there pretty much is no legal drinking age there).

I decide to call my friend to see if his ceremony is over, and it turns out that they were looking for me! So they come and pick me up and take me back to school for dinner.

So at dinner, there is a long table of the graduates, all facing towards the parents, which were about thirty feet away at their own tables. I got to sit at the end with my graduating friend.

What happened was that they started popping bottles of champagne, and drinking and toasting. Pretty soon my friend started pulling out bottles of vodka and there were plenty of toasts.

After dinner, we went to the gym to go dance. I was a little drunk but not really feeling it. When everyone started dancing, I went back upstairs to have some more vodka, and went back to dance.

I don't really remember what happened after that, but I remember walking out of the area, and being put into a car, which I resisted heavily. I also remember calling out this girls name. Then I remember sitting on a bench at the bottom floor of my grandmothers apartment, with my friends around me, and my DAD there as well. He didn't know that I drink, until that point.

Then I was told that I resisted heavily being put into my grandmothers apartment. The last thing I remember was running to the bathroom to throw up.

I woke up the next morning with a bad hangover. Throbbing head, weak movements, slurred speech. I was still drunk. It took me a day and a half to be normal again.

Point is, DO NOT DRINK TOO MUCH. KNOW WHEN TO STOP.

"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.

Studying the fact that all lies contain fragments
LOL... you are an amateur.. this story will never stop people from drinking which ror many humans is a very important way of coping with their stressful lives..

If you take away liquor it will be replaced by some other vice... BUt if you cant handle liquor then maybe its not for YOU!

dude, if you're like 16 or 17, of course you won't be able to hold your liquor. Please come back with some life experience before preaching our bs to the board.

Served!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

I prefer weed because you can still sober up if needed and it only lasts 2 to 3 hours, but thats just me..

I have a lot of life experience, and not getting too drunk to talk to women sounds like a solid idea.

I, unfortunately have a hard time remembering this one at 1 am on a Sat night.

I prefer alcohol because I loosen up, get in a better mood and don't sit on the couch playing video games.

If through years of waking up in my own vomit and strange peoples beds never shocked me into giving up the booze, you can bet your ass some lightweight preaching his first time on the turps wont make a lick of difference.

But thanks for the concern mate. :up:

I've also got a tenner that says your gonna get blitzed again.
 

"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.

Right on, tits. I swore off of booze a few times in my younger days. Hangovers separate the men from the boys.

If you are only swearing off booze because it affects your game, you don't have a real drinking problem. Not even close.

Just remember to drink PLENTY of water (like a gallon) before passing out...or AFTER you realize that you're wasted...

Alcholo dehydrates your body and it is this dehydration that causes hangovers. So to curb hangovers, drink plenty of water.

This strategy has yet to fail me to this day.

I once read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

Ha Ha! Sweet rookie! You didn't even drink that much and you were tanked?! When I was your age I could drink that much on an empty stomach and still be fine.

You need drinking boot camp before you can run with the big dogs for sure!
 

"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.
