"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.

English words I hate

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

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.

That's it. Make some poor guy or girl's day even worse by faulting them for a size system that the corporation implemented. Not like they don't have to put up with people throwing tantrums if they get "light foam" as opposed to "no foam" or having to wait 30 seconds to get their drink or anything like that.
If I said it their day would be brightened. It's called charm.

Ok on some of this maybe I misunderstood, so you can correct me where I did:

>PF Chang's isn't all-you-can-eat. It isn't here in The Rock, anyway.
>I don't see "Bistro" in the name. Its PF Chang's. In any event, ours has maybe 150 seats, certainly not 1000.
>Haven't tried the dumplings yet, but I will since you recommended them.
>I'm amazed you can even finish their full-sized, large portion plates, let alone appetizers, multiple alcoholic drinks, extra egg rolls, and desserts on top of that!
when I said all you can eat, I ddin't mean Buffet.. A bistro usually serves small like meals... not the giantic man law sized portions of **** you get at PF changs.

you know i"m from the rock. the one down there doesn't have 1000.. none do.. it was an exeggeration. But still.. it's f'n huge.

i told you, i work out every day not just as much so i can eat what the hell i want when I want to as I do to impress women. I like being able to scarf down 100 dollars worth of **** and not worry about my figure.

"i told you, i work out every day"

No rest days?

Damn man I need to get that dedication back.

5-6 days a week. more out of habit now. I have a swimming pool, as soon as I roll my ass out of bed, I throw on the swim trunks and just start swimming. I can go for as long as 30-40 mintues if I really wanted to, but I have **** to do, so usually about half that, then I do about 30 more minutes of work. 1 day a week I try to tire myself out by swimming as long as I can/working out as long as I can.


man I wille at you out of house and home. lol, I remember the first time I took my current GF out to eat, Red Lobster..lol, I have a cheadder biscuit in my mouth, a Strawberry Daquari and I order some cheesesticks, the all you can eat feast, and 2 extra potatos..and an extra side of apple sauce.. then i turn to her and say"what do you want?" she had this "you gotta be ****ing kiddin me" look on her face.

The last time I "slacked off "working out when I was 21, I gained about dman near 60 pounds in 6 months. I was at 165, I ended up at 228.

And don't get me wrong, that's not every day, god no, but when I want to eat I don't hold back.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I dislike when people pronounce 'often' as OF-TEN. It's pronounced... offen. Would you pronounce soften or listen with a T? I think not.

Also I think it's hawt when people use the familiar form of 'you' -- 'thou'. My future wife will wake me up with 'Art thou hungry? Dost thou want a *******?'

The most I ever paid for a meal was $6.95!! I only ate $5's worth, so I got ripped off!!!! The price of your food and drink is an illusory amount based on psychological maneuvering!!

LMS, I'd hate to be your date. lol

I never bought women food more than seven dollars - why should I? I never thought of even pleasing them, food-wise or sexually!! My thinking is, "Is she to my standards, and how is she pleasing me!!"
 

"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.

No, really. She ordered number 3 on the menu but then to my surprise she super-sized it!! Byyyyyyyyytch!!

Lucky for her I had a crisp $10 in my pocket, and that I ordered from the dollar menu, otherwise she would have gone wanting!!

But seriously, I never thought of pleasing a woman - that never entered my head! I was cordial, pleasant, and inviting - but it was out of courtesy and not supplication!!

Oh i see; its in the fine print (Bistro). Never noticed. :)

I love that restaurant. Pricey though. Perhaps because they know people like me are going to pay it!

Well, you don't have to dislike it anymore. Why? Because both pronunciations are correct. Verify this with any decent dictionary.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

This thread is funny as hell. :D

I love/hate the word "emoticon". :rock:

The word "spot" can completely screw w my head. Say it over and over and I get disoriented. Haha.

I hate certain words that aren't words; like irregardless. Half of the people I work with think irregardless is a word because they say it all the time.
 

"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.
