"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.

Okay, maybe I just have a hair-trigger with this stuff, but how is the following ad totally fine when any ads exploiting female sexuality are (often quite rightfully) considered sexist?


Imagine that the male model was replaced with a female model, and the women lurking behind the mirror and salivating over this slab of meat without his consent were replaced with men. Either young men...or Harvey Weinstein look-a-likes, take your pick.

What would the response to the ad be then?

Oh, and apparently ads promote unhealthy ideas of physical perfection in women only. Yet I can't say I've seen many men in RL who are as improbably chiselled as this chap, who probably spends hours in the gym every day.

I've seen a lot of ads recently actually where the whole punchline is women just laughing at a muscular, naked man running around in embarrassment. Or watching him from afar like this. Why is no one crying sexism over all of this?

Sigh.
 

"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.
