It's said that women are repulsed by AFC behavior. Ok, but what explains the EMO dudes pulling so much tail then? I see it often. And might I add, many of these EMO chicks are smokin' hot.
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.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
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.
Yeah that's what I think too cause the emo trend is just their front, what happens if she or he stops being emo and starts joining mainstream normal society. But then again I know a couple 30s-40s people who are into goth still, sad.Hawke said:The question though is can these emo guys hold onto those girls for long...
Probably because he has a social circle and access to girls. :nono: I think the whole emo thing is lame and posuerish, but that doesn't make them inherently bad people (they just have bad taste in fashon and music)... you have to get to know each individual to pass that judgement. Just because someone doesn't dress like you doens't meen that they are not worthwhile to women (or others in general), nor does the fact that they are an "AFC". In fact, I firmly belive this whole AFC thing is proabably the biggest crock that goes around here on sosuave. If you've got some inherent value to women (good looking, common interests, fun, rich, etc.) AFC behavior will be overlooked so fast by all women except for the ones that have been molested and trashed-on who need a 'badboy'.MenAreBetterPeople said:It's said that women are repulsed by AFC behavior.

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.
