"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.

Ever got your ass kicked by a girl?

I'm not talking about getting beaten up (that'd be funny though). But you guys ever got beaten in a game (usually sport or anything competitive) badly by a girl?

My arms and ankles still hurt. This girl I met in class, half my size, offered to play me a few games of hockey for a bet. She kicked my ass, scored ALL the points, I scored nothing. At first I thought she was kinda pathetic so I went easy on her, but as the game went on I started trying harder and harder, and then at the end I was out of breath and sweating more than the Hoover dam.

What is even worse is that I'm on the hockey team at college, and usually have a good rep at competitions, and she's never been in a single team or official comp her whole life.

My frigging ego's gonna take a few days to patch up! :(


OH for the record, I never got sex either. However we do have a dinner set up. She's paying...with the $100 I lost to her.
 

"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.

You talk big to other guys on this forum and elsewhere who knows. But you get your ass handed to you by a girl?

SIFER - I never recall bragging about it on any forum, are you confusing me with someone else?

Still I have the right to brag, ever since I joined the team I've never let one puck throuhg, only lost 3 games, and top scorer for the last season. Then some 10-inch girl comes in and sweeps me out.

Maybe this girl has some kind of secret sporting power or something, or she's on super-steroids which give you massive reflexes and strength. Or she could be a robot with superpowers. I dunno.

Try going through his purse and find out what you can.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

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.

You were probably too distracted eyeballing her to effectively defend the goal.

I used to play softball on a men's league. I was the pitcher. I used to wear cut off daisy dukes up the crack of my butt, tank tops and dye my hair a deep dark purple to distract the batters. I'm a good pitcher anyhow...but most of our team sucked and we needed all the help we could get...so I used my assets to the best of my ability...for the sake of my team. :D

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHA:D

On a brighter note, if I lost hella bad on hockey, I'd break the stick, throw a tantrum, throw **** around, and punch the girl in the face, hopefully knocking her teeth out. Then, she'll look like a real hockey player.

So you were playing on a men's league? I think it is unfair that a woman can play on the men's league, but a man cannot play on the women's league. I know there are obvious reasons, but it seems like a double standard.
