"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.

Eye Contact

I recently came back from a holiday, and when I was on holidays I tried to holf eye contact with every hot girl I seen. No problem. The fact that no one knew me gave me confidence, and anyway it was far easier than I thought, but the fact that in the place I was there was hundreds of hot chicks helped too.

But I started wondering. What exactly were the implications of eye contact?

-What are the implications if a girl looks and you and you quickly turn away?
-What does it mean if you hold her eye contact?
-Does is change if you are smiling or not?
-What does it imply if a girl holds you eye contact?
-Again what if she turns away quickly?
-What does winking, raising eyebrows or other signs do?

Any other advice, techniques, advice? Thanks!

But I did find that if you hold a girls gaze you tend to keep getting looks. ;) Another weird thing si they tend to look away when I blink.

And yeah I know eye contact is a minor thing I'm just very curious.
 

"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.

1) They think you lack courage and confidence. Looking away is an instinct we share with monkeys, it shows you're afraid of a challenge, but when you confront the look it shows you have nothing to fear.
2) She has interest.
3) Yes, a girl will know you have interest and confidence if you smile at her.
3) See 2)
4) She's nervous/lacks confidence/not interested. Probably the first 2.
5) Winking can come off creepy, raising eyebrow can make them confused. Unless you know the girl, just a half grin and solid eye contact will do wonders.


Hope that helps :)

Winkings the in thing these days lol...practice...become natural with it...it has a sort of subtle sexual hint to it
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Haha thanks. But there is something that baffled me. It happened today actually.

There’s this girl in my class who is kind of hot right. I was trying to catch her eye and I finally managed to. Well... I held her eye contact for like 10 seconds! Damn she just wouldn't look away... Than finally I had to. It kind of got my heart beating a bit oo for some reason... confusing stuff.

So this would just mean that she has heaps of confidence right? Because no one held my eye contact for like more than 2 seconds or something when I was trying to do it on holidays. So it wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that she knows me, or her opinion of me would it?




Thanks!



...Dammit I'm reading into things too much again. Hmm well at least I'm not thinking "Does she like me does she like me?" Now I think "Hmm don't really give a ****, I'm better than than crap". Haha. But I;m still girlfiendless (never had one) and I'm approaching 15. But now I don't really care.

When you were making eye contact, where you staring at her? When i make eye contact, i give a little smile with a "i want to **** you and i am undressing you" right now look kinda. You have to convey some sort of thought into her eyes through yours.

Damn dude this reminds me of a time in school, there was this girl who liked me. And she was sitting just ahead of me, and i could see her through the corner of my eye peeping at me. So im like damn lets just look back at her and

I look at her and she turns her head completely to my side and starts looking. So i take this as a challenge and look straight back. For about a good 10 secs we just stared at eachother, deep into eachothers eye. It was mad intense and just like you my heart started beating after we stopped staring.

This girl has confidence, go for her.

Its so hard to smile on purpose though. I think I would have looked more shocked than anything :p

Sounds similar. It is surprisingly intense and heart beating. Took awhile for my heart to calm down. But I think she looked amused that I was starring at her or something. I don't really remember it was a while ago now.

I would 'go for her' but I'm an insecure little wimp that is scared of rejection and even more what my friends would think and if they would laugh... Damn not for long I’m so sick of this crap. I should just go for it…

How do you know when to look away? It seems to me that it might be creepy to stare for a very long 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.

If they make contact, don't look away. Go in for the approach because they're obviously interested.

I fail to see how it would be any different.

I always hold the gaze until they look away. You can look away if they glance at something. If you want to break eye contact, what I do is turn my head toward something else while maintaining eye contact, then blink and turn my eyes to whatever I turned my head to.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

1. You arent confident or are shy
2. One of you is interested
3. Depends on what kinda eye contact you are giving, if you are going for a seductive look, then smiling seems kinda weird and creepy, but if you are goin for the i wanna get 2 no u better and im interested approach, smiling helps a lot
4. One of you is interested
5. She is shy or not interested
6. Invitation to approach

Eye contact by itself can be powerful becasue it is something unique that is only between two people, but if you dont capitalize on it, it is all for naught...
